An article of clothing originating from the era of thoracic dignity. Comprised of a finely pruned turtleneck vaguely resembling a miniature poncho, the dickey served no purpose other than to warm the neck and cover the cleavage produced by a significant bust. Often referred to as a 'turtleneck illusion', the dickey continues to become an increasingly obsolete garment as the age of the breast falls upon us all.
"Have you seen the new girl in the office, I think she's wearing a dickey?
I hear she used to be a substitute teacher or a librarian"
