Jabot, ca. 1910

Jabots are elegant fabric ruffles or lace trimmings that are attached to the collar or front of a garment. 

In different fashion eras, jabots were used to give garments a special touch, from Victorian to Edwardian fashion. They could also be used to cover sweat or stains on clothing and provide a certain protective function.

Jabots are therefore far more than just decorative elements - they have both aesthetic and practical significance.

This jabot is made of Irish lace and white embroidered muslin fabric. It features a small lace border. It is in very good to excellent condition.
