And frilly cuffs. Metal edged semi-circular white buttons. The Suit The suit is a vintage dark green , thick Ann Balon outfit. I bought two of them. That's why the skirt is different. I have probably accidentally picked up one from each outfit and they are slightly different colours. The Dickie The dickie, also called a false front, or removable collar, is black thick lace, like crochet. It adds warmth around the neck in winter. It fills in a low neckline. It makes a round neck or v neck look more businesslike. The black can be rather deadening and dull around the face. However, in this case when under a white blouse it makes a pleasant contrast and the blouse means you still have white to the face, to show off your complexion and match your white teeth and white eyes.
