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.

Indigo Moon brown jacket paired with Indigo Moon green skirt. Skirt. Photo taken and cropped by Angela Lansbury. Copyright. I bought these two items from the same label separately and paired them up. I found many Indigo Moon jackets and tops on ebay. Many from the UK, several from the USA. Bold Bids For Several Skirts I had two Indigo Moon jackets and I wanted skirts to match. I saw three skirts, two red, one green. I hoped to win one of them. As the bidding for all ended the same day, I had no chance of waiting for the bidding on one to end before bidding on a second if I failed to secure the first. The green skirt arrived with two red skirts, same label. I had bid on all three which had low prices. I was pleasantly surprised, pleased to win all three. The price of all three together wasn't so bad. However, add in the postage on three items, the sum was no longer small. Pleasing Postage Refund I did not realise until all three arrived in the same packet that they wer...
I read in the news today that the French have issued instructions on preparing a survival kit for householders. Convenient Carry Bag Your house should have a bag you can carry, or sling in a car. Your handbag or tote bag or holdall should have a few essentials. When hiking I wear clothes with pockets and have a rucksack with have pockets water, food and sting relief, and insect repallent, and maps and phone numbers. I also put the hospital nubers in my phone. Survival Kit Everybody should have a survival kit by their door, as well as a first aid box in the bathroom and a burns kit in the kitchen. Also clothes! Japanese The Japanese are reputed to keep survival kit by the door. Why? In case of earthquakes. Travellers should have a first aid kit. In their suitcase or bag. And in cars. Plus spare clothes. For sitting on wet or dirty ground. Medical Help Many buildings have a defibrilator. Do you have a scarf which would act as an emergency sling? After a car accident, I had broken m...
Angela Lansbury wearing at waistcoat with palm trees. Photo by Angela Lansbury. The Shein Waistcoat The waistcoat came from St Lukes charity shop. The label is Shein. Made in China. As you might expect The St Luke's price was £3. I googled waistcoat, Shein, parrot, and the exact sme garment appeared immediately. The Shein model was wearing it over a white crop top with short denim shorts. The price was ten pounds plus three pounds postage. But as a new customer or returning customer (eg after a gap of several weeks not ordering) you might get offered free postage. I like the fact that the patterns on the right and left mirror each other as if the parrots are about to speak to each other. Useful search words for the same or similar garments would be beach scene, colourful, multicolor, palm trees, sleeveless jacket, tank top, top, Travachic, tropical print, vest, waistcoat. The Straw Hat The straw hat was free, a promotional gift. Advertising Cea...
