I ordered online my red dickey or detachable collar with a fake shirt front. I already have two plain white collars with fake shirt fronts. They are really handy to make a simple tee shirt or top look smarter, more businesslike, or more interesting. This version in red adds jolly colour.
It co-ordinates with red sandals and a red belt and red lipstick to create a unified look.
It brightens up a dress in funereal black. The red makes me feel happy, vibrant. A great success. I shall wear it a lot. I might order other colours.

The technical name is dickey. The name fake collar is misleading. The collar is real, but nothing is attached to the u-shape front except two pieces of elastic under the arms.
Red fake collar from ebay.
Other colours offered include useful white, or black. The yellow colour is mustardy, not to my taste. The green is a dark green. They might go with other outfits you already have. But I like the bright red.
Another version has black elastic.
On ebay from ledu168
The price is around 7.99 US dollars, free postage or add two or three dollars for postage, depending which seller you choose.
The red of the dickey matches the red diamonds on the scarf of the three piece Anthony Sicari suit.
The collar is not lying flat. In the seller's photo, the dickey is flat on a table of flat surface and looks flat. Oddly, it looks ok to me when I look in the mirror. Yet the photo tells a different story.
The photo tells me (and you) what the onlooker notices. Maybe it's because of the blue jacket collar pushing the red fake shirt collar. Where the edges meet at the top, they are slightly apart. Some blouses have a tiny press stud to secure the collar. I could sew one on to create a neater effect.

I have given the link to the one costing 7.99. Other sellers with the same photo on ebay were charging 8.99 or 9.99. I would take the cheapest, unless you are in such a hurry that you click on the first link you see because your time is worth more than a dollar saved.

What is this? My repair. I have a lovely shiny, smart black slip, from Marks & Spencers. It has a slit with pretty lace edging. But it is slightly tight. It tore from the top of the slit, diagonally. I looked for another slip. The ones I found onlin were twice the price and not in a satiny fabric. I wore it torn. I repaired it several times. It tore again. I gave up. I wore it torn. Nobody sees. My husband saw. He complained. What could I do? It is useless to keep stitching it. It just tears again. I needed a new solution. I thought of adding a godet, a triangle of black fabric. I did not have anything to match. tht doesn't matter a godet is often a contrasting material. But that's when you have several godets and they look deliberate. I hunted in my sewing box. Boxes. All I had was teeny scraps of cloth in unsuitable fabrics. And ribbons. I thought about what I could do with the ribbons. They were not wide enough. But I could sew one each side of the slit. t...
Angela Lansbury wearing a blue background dress from H &M. Photo by Trevor Sharot. The Blue H & M Dress Blue background dress has a white pattern. Blues are hard to match. But I had a white blouse, so I wore this. On the internet and on Facebook you can see lots of videos of how to tie a scarf, but mine is simply hanging, which partly obscures the cleavage. Cleavage cover I had a choice. To insert a dickey or false front, also called a removable or detachable collar. I have one or two which are plain white. The alternative which saves hunting for a matching dickey without distracting collar colours and embrodiery, is simply to add a fastening. I decided that a snap or press stud fastener in small size is qhich to fasten and unlikely to pull apart (as opposed to hook and eye. I like velcro but it can scratch your skin, so the press stud was the right andwer. You have to get the two sides exactly measured up from the point of the V neck otherwide you end up with...
Period pants from Savida. Pants, UK. In the USA they would be called underpants. They come in two colours, black or dark blue with a mottled effect. They are triple layer. Could be useful for hiking and travelling. Or when you have a cough. A pack of three full briefs for fifteen pounds. I then googled period pants and found lots of results. Marks Marks & Spencer do a pack of three containing three different colours, black, white and pink, for sixteen pounds. They also do different absorbencies. The options range though light, heavy, and extra heavy. And more styles, such as pantaloon style, like short tight shorts coming half way down your thighs. You can also buy leakproof swimwear with the brand name WUKA. Wikipedia has useful worldwide reviews of practices. Wiki picture.
