Blouse with frill
A stylish blouse is always irreplaceable in the wardrobe of fashionistas. A blouse with a frill is becoming a real trend this season. More and more often they can be seen in the collections of famous couturiers.
What is it?
Jabot is a French word meaning bird goiter. The detail located in the neck area in front of the blouse in the form of flounces of different lengths and volumes, gives romance and elegance to the image.
The first appearance of this type of collar was in the early 18th century in men's suits. Later, after about a hundred years, frills became part of women's dress. And now blouses with a frill collar are part of the collections of fashion houses. All thanks to Karl Lagerfeld, a German fashion designer and photographer. It was he who was the first to use volumetric decor in his collections.

Who is it suitable for?
Elegance is inherent in every woman of any age. Therefore, such a decor detail as a frill should be chosen with extreme caution. She is not suitable for every woman.
So, for example, a blouse with small flounces (frill) is better suited for girls with curvaceous forms. Due to the small ruffles, flounces, which go down almost to the edge of the blouse, your figure will visually appear thinner.
Large large ruffles for women and girls plus-size are not acceptable. They can add extra pounds to your silhouette and make it look fuller.
For slender girls, we recommend giving preference to a frill with large flounces that reach the chest line. Such decor will visually add volume to your chest and make your silhouette more attractive.
Types of frill
A frill is a collar detail designed to adorn clothing, adding elegance to it. This decorative element can be sewn in or removable, it can be of different shapes.
These collars can be one-piece or one-piece. They can resemble geometric shapes, such as a square.They can look like a tie or a voluminous shuttlecock. They can be short or long, positioned as a single piece or be divided into two parts.
Below we will look at some types of frill, which differ in the type of cut.
- Butterfly. This collar is similar to the wings of a butterfly. Its top is pointed, and the bottom, on the contrary, is rounded. It is sewn on both sides of the blouse placket.
- Oval... This collar consists of one piece, sewn to the neck of the blouse. Its shape resembles an oval.
- Round... This is one piece of decor sewn to the neckline of the blouse. Received its name "round" due to the cut in the form of a circle.
- With bow pleats... This frill consists of two parts, stitched together. The frill is gathered in such a way that it resembles the folds of a bow.
- With extended sewing line. Such a frill is cut in the form of a triangle and sewn to the neck of the blouse.
- From shuttlecocks. The special cut of the detail allows you to create flounces of the desired length and width. Most often, it is the frill made of flounces that is an accessory and can be removable.
Frill is a decor and is not always part of a blouse. It can be a separate item used on occasion. In some cases, a removable frill replaces a woman with accessories that are so necessary to complete the bow.
