When I tried this dress on a few days before the event, the neck looked bare, and I had an instant vision of what it needed. Yes, pompoms! The dress is a thick lace fitted over a black attached slip. It needed color at the neckline, and pompoms match the pattern exactly.

| Even the sunnies matched. |
Below is my $4 solution. Pompoms are available by the yard from craft and fabric stores. These came from Walmart. Cut to length. Hot glue the ends to prevent fraying, and connect with a small safety pin, which will not be noticed beneath the hairline.
You know how it is when you have the glue gun heated up. EVERYTHING in your path becomes a craft project. Plain black shoes turned into perfect matching accessory.
The whole thing looks sort of Roaring 20s, doesn't it?
