I want to see some swags & jabots


Search
: swags jabots

Why: I am editing an article called "How to Sew Swags & Jabots," like for a window treatment. It says:
When a treatment dips down in the middle of the window and then cascades down at the sides, those are swags and jabots. The swag is the U-shaped pieces in the middle, while the jabots are the fabric to the sides.

The More You Know: A jabot is also an ornamental cascade of ruffles or frills down the front of a shirt, blouse, or dress. The word comes from the French term for a bird's "crop."

  1. THIS IS INCORRECT!
    im sorry you must have found this information from the wrong google site.

    This is swags and tails. You got swags right, but the 'jabot' is acutally a tail. jabot is like a tail but inbetween the swags and doesnt go down as far as the tails.
