The piccadill or pickadill is the name of a large broad collar of cut-work lace that became fashionable in the 17th century.

The term originates from the Spanish "picadillo" and "picado" meaning "punctured" or "pierced". The lace collars of the seventeenth century contained much elaborate cut work giving them the name "picadura" (sp.) and "piccadill".
