Side Jabots New Neckwear Novelty

The only novelty in the neckwear line is the side jabot, and this is being shown in every conceivable form, both attached to the lingerie waist and separate, as a piece of neckwear. The exclusive shops and the depart-, ment stores are showing tremendously big assortments, and all of the novelties ere in active movement The exclusive shops are using real laces almost altogether for these big pieces of neckwear. Valenciennes, point de Milan, and Mechlin laces are greatly used for this purpose. Manline laces are also very popular and are especially attractive in champagne and cream tones. The usual way of wearing the wide plaited jabot frill is to fasten it inside of the- right rever of the jacket, and then, by pinning the opposite edge of the frill to the left shoulder, the whole front of the corsage is covered with the plaited frill This necessitates use of wide lace of fine quality and makes the jabot somewhat expensive. Prominent among the jabots is one soniewhat in fichu form, developed in handkerchief linen, with deep edgings of real Valenciennes lace. Instead of the usual straight band descending down the center to hold the ‘jabot frills there is a plaited shaped section, which curves slightly to the right, and the frills bordering this descend in the fichu form passing from the left shoulder to the right side In a gentle curving line. Another interesting neckpiece forms the entire front of the bodice, the whole being in butterfly effect and falling in cascade plaits. The center of this is a piece of tucked net shaped into the butterfly by wide, fine Mechlin lace. When worn without the -jacket the lace falls on opposite sides, but with the jacket the side at the right is pinned over toward the left, thus forming the double one side frills. A third piece has the straight band collar and three plaited tabs of unequal length falling straight in the front. Another pretty novelty is developed in fine point d’esprit with narrow of Velenclennes lace. This is the edge of Valenclnnes lace. This is the single rever or plaited frill, and has the standing collar band. Another interesting jabot finishes with the black velvet neckband with small necktie bow directly in front. The center strip which holds the plaited frill is trimmed in the style of a shirt front, with hand cuttings and tiny frills of lace, while down the center are little buttons of black velvet.
