Jabot
As Jabot ( French , Pronunciation ʒaboː ) are referred to various items of clothing. In the 17th and 18th centuries , jabots were a flounce made of batiste or lace that was sewn on both sides of the chest slit of a man's shirt and peeked out between the front edges of the waistcoat . This fashion appeared around 1650.
In the late 19th century it was understood to be a bib made of batiste or lace for decorating women's dresses . It was attached to the base of the neck with the help of a brooch or a sewn-on turn-down collar.
The jabot has survived to the present day as part of various official costumes. In Germany the white bibs on the robes of the judges of the Federal Constitutional Court are officially called jabots; they are similar to the little cups that belong to the official costume of some clergymen.
In the Rhenish Carnival , lace jabots are part of the uniform of dancing marieches and guard dancers.
