How hard/expensive to replace collar on child's dress?

I DON'T sew a stitch, but I'm thinking of buying a dress on eBay for a

3.5 year old girl. I love the dress but hate the collar (it is a HUGE round lace trimmed thing with a bow)... and I was thinking maybe I could pay someone or convince one of my sewing friends to replace the collar with something more subtle/smaller. I was thinking a nice little peter pan collar instead. The dress is very traditionally "girly", puffed short sleeves, big ruffled circle skirt, sash tie in back, normal waistline and neckline. Almost identical to this (same brand too):

this a big/hard job? If I pay someone will it be costly? Thanksin advance if you can help me decide... the dress won't be a bargain ifI have to spend a ton replacing the collar after I get it, but if thetask is relatively easy I might go for it.

For the price, these are darling. I'd consider new unless you need a size larger than they offer.

The little sun dresses are very cute.

How can anyone make these for these prices after fabric, lace and time? They don't look like they are poorly made.
