Dickies can be made by taking the dickie cloth and using garters at each side at the top to attach around bra straps. They can be made from expensive remnants from something that you hemmed. I keep a stash of large pieces that were cut off from hemming just for this use.

A dickie is a piece of cloth that you put right where your cleavage is so no one sees what they shouldn't be seeing. Not much is visible to the public. Sometimes blouses are a little too low cut (or tend to sag later in the day) and this helps to keep private parts private.
If a woman wore a suit jacket buttoned up, with just a tiny bit of camisole showing, this is about what you'd see of a dickie.
A garter is an old fashioned contraption used to hold up nylon stockings before they invented panty hose.

What are the dickies you are referring to? And what do you mean by garters?
