The black lace jabot with rhinestones and cuffs by Niek is a layered rose lace cravat with an oval brooch, plus two matching cuffs.
Wear the jabot over a shirt or blouse so that the lace falls in layers beneath your chin, and slide the cuffs over your wrists. This instantly gives a vampire or pirate outfit for women and men a noble neckline, and during Halloween or Carnival, the set transforms an ordinary jacket into a theatrical costume.
What is the jabot made of and how do you care for it?
The jabot and cuffs are made of 100% polyester and should be hand-washed.
- The set consists of the jabot and two cuffs, so you have lace at your neck and on both wrists.
- The jabot hangs from a smooth, plain neckband and flares out into multiple layers of rose-patterned lace.
- In the center of the neckband is an oval brooch with a silver-colored border and a dark stone in the middle.
- Each cuff has a smooth band beneath which layered lace falls over the hand.
- Hand-wash the set; do not bleach, tumble dry, iron, or steam.
- The jabot is designed for women and men.
The origins of the lace jabot
A jabot is an ornamental piece of lace or fabric that falls from the neck over the chest, and it was part of eighteenth-century men's fashion. Aristocrats wore it with lace cuffs that protruded from the sleeves of their coats. This aristocratic image lives on in the classic vampire from films and stories: a count in a long coat with lace at the neck and wrists. You can also recognize the pirate captain and the Baroque nobleman by such a cascade of lace.
How to wear the lace jabot at a Halloween party or in a parade
For a vampire look during Halloween, wear the jabot over a dark shirt under a long coat, and let the cuffs emerge just below the sleeves so that the lace falls over your hands. Women can complete the look with an updo and red lipstick, while men can wear a top hat and a walking stick. If you are marching in a Carnival parade as a pirate, combine the jabot with a brown buttoned coat and a pirate hat so that the lace remains visible with every movement.
Order the lace jabot with cuffs and add lace to the neck and wrists of your vampire or pirate costume.
