A dickie is a small uncomfortable seat that was found at the rear of old horse-drawn carriages. It was a seat specifically for your servant.

It also refers to a false shirt front worn under a vest or jacket. Back in the '60s, when wearing a turtleneck sweater under a shirt was a fashion, people often wore turtleneck dickies--just the neck and the top few inches of sweater--which were not as hot (in either sense) as wearing the real sweater.
