Definition of jabot:

  1. An arrangement of lace or tulle, looped ornamentally, and worn by women on the front of the dress.
  2. Originally, a kind of ruffle worn by men on the bosom of the shirt.

Usage examples:

  • In front a full Mechlin lace jabot, with the white wig above, set his regular features and dark skin in a frame, as it were, his paleness and a look of melancholy in the eyes helping the natural beauty and distinction of a face high bred and haughty.
