This is the second of the jabots I made for my show clothes.
This one is more of a proper steampunk style, as is the rest of it’s outfit. The centre is salvaged brown leather. The bottom is a gathered fall of soft heavy lace. (it came off a wedding dress) Ruched beaded trim edges the centre, and overlaps the lace, which gives thick clusters of the beaded drops. At the top of the jabot is one of the smallest enamelled watch faces I found. It has a pair of brass wings on either side of the Victorian glass button that sits in its centre. Below it are two carved mother-of-pearl buttons. (the top one is what I consider to be the prettiest one from the entire stash since it has lots of detail and amazing colour flash) I’m very happy with how it turned out. Now I just need more occasions that are suitable for wearing the whole steampunk look, including jabots.
