1940's Dickey Pattern

I made my first dickey from Simplicity 4748 in a hot pink silk fabric.  I made View #2 on the upper right hand corner:
  

Here's what it looks like on the dressform from the front:


And from the side.  There is seam binding all the way around and that forms a nice little tie at the side:
 

 I think I like this cascading ruffle look best!  I paired my dickey with a great black wool jacket and black pencil skirt and my favorite shoes.  How cute is this 'Thistle Cottage'?

 

I love it!  Aren't ruffles great?
