Sunday Sketches - Jabot


Welcome to Sunday Sketches! I saw a photo of this Jabot and was inspired to draw it. It is an early form of the necktie and it is so beautiful, I wish it would make a comeback perhaps in formal dress. The piece is done on an index card (3" x 5") in water soluble brush markers.

    It must be tricky to iron. Hope you're having a great weekend.

    It looks great and I assume it's made of silk and feels smooth to the touch. I would love to see it come back despite a challenging ironing ;)

    I'm with Stefanie ... I wouldn't want to have to iron it, but maybe with today's fabrics we wouldn't have to. It is an interesting drawing for sure, but I have to tell you, I can't get used to the idea of the missing head :)

    I think you should do a whole series of vintage costume sketches! This is really good.

    Wonderful sketch Christine!!! They were elegant looking. I wonder if they would be accepted by men in today's society of minimalist?

    Yes I wish it would make a comeback too!
    Did you ever see that episode of Seinfeld where they try and launch the pirate shirt with disastrous consequences? You should check it out it is hilarious.

    Nice sketch! I remember seeing these in old movies... Men really dressed up in that era.
