THE BLACK PEARL: Topshop dress & collar.
Removable collars are coming up roses... I remember reading about the
dickeys & paper collars Francie's father wore in Betty
Smith's A Tree Grows in Brooklyn & wondering why
they weren't popular now. A crisp collar strewn with flowers is the ideal finishing touch on a frock
seeded with pearls, all courtesy of Topshop.
Detachable collars range
from the disposable to special gems, like this pearly 1920s treasure,
troved at a tag sale in CT last weekend. Each various sized bead is handsewn to the silk lining & it fastens with an
eyehook. It's the crowning glory on a coral double bow dress & sunglasses with arrows along the arms - walk this way.
