Remember the Dickey ? A dickey (alternatively written as dickie or dicky; sometimes known in American English as a *tuxedo front* or *tux front*) is a type of false shirt-front - originally known as a detachable *bosom* - designed to be worn with a tuxedo or men's white tie, usually attached to the collar and then tucked into the waistcoat or cummerbund.
The dickey, traditionally worn by men, made the transition to women's wear around 1943. While women may have worn dickeys before this time, ads in Vogue New York can be seen promoting dickeys in the February 1943 issue. Dickeys were said to “enliven your new suit or rejuvenate your old”.
I love them! It is versatile, cooling, less material for mix and matching effect and perfect for our climate!
Check out how I mix and match them. You can easily dress it up or dress it down with any essemble. I am matching them with our collection which you can find them online at www.melindalooi.com ... click on bio link to find them! Happy browsing and Happy Weekend to all!
