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.

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...
Sweater embroidered with mock pearls matches my hat pinned with mock pearl brooches. I had never worn this pale grey sweater I thought pale grey was a boring colour and always opted for something brighter such as royal blue or bight red. However, as I re-folded warm winter tops to fit them into my crammed dresser unit shelves, this fell out. Was the universe sending me a message? I thought, I don't remember ever wearing it. I must wear it once. Just for a change. Snow is falling outside in London. Now is its hour. I looked at the decoration. Sequins! I had been searching for sequins to wear at New Year. This thick sweater would not match my red solid sequin evening skirt. However, it would match my knitted hat, which bore brooches with mock pearls. The Grey Marl Sweater M & S Collection. Size 14. a mixture of four fabrics, cotton. As I had anticipated, the garment had pinned inside some spare sequins and pearls and rhinestones....
I bought a pair of knee high red and white stripe socks in St Luke's charity shop. At one pound or under, you can't lose much. (Their charity fundraising shops are in NW London in Hatch End, Harrow Weald and elsewhere.) Why did I buy the long socks, in hard to match, garish, childish, stripes - after hesitation and consideration? The Advantages Of Long Socks The length was attractive, at this time of year. I often need long socks under a midi skirt. For warmth in winter. And not to show bit of bare legs above socks. To co-ordinate colours. Advantages and Disadvantages of Red and White Stripes I like red. It's fun. White can show dirt quickly. Red and white is a bit restrictive. It will clash with patterns, only go with plain reds and whites. But under a table at dinner or on Zoom nobody else will notice. Nor will I. I will only feel them. If the socks are too tight, you might feel uncomfortable. At night, when you take them off, you might see red indentation lines acr...
