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. that would m
Angela Lansbury, wearing black for the funeral and funeral tea for Stephen Kennard. Photo by Angela Lansbury. This week I went to a funeral. I wore black. Everybody else wore all black. The invitation said nothing about the dress code. I know lots of funerals nowadays people were mixed colours. Some specify wearing jolly colours. My friend at the funeral told me, "Always wer black. Unles it specifies otherwise, the rule is, wear black." I had my usual blue anorak with the hood with me. I left it in the car. In the boot of the car, in case anybody broke into the car hoping to find money in the pockets or because they wanted a coat to wear or sell. The safest thing is to leave a completely empty car. At least everything in the boot so the car looks empty. I could have kept the blue anorak in my black tote bag. As soon as we drove into the chapel driveway, I looked at the other guests and their clothes. I saw all black. Off came my blue anorak. Thank goodness I had a black coa
