    If you see a Montrose for example without the jabot there is a dart sewn in the middle, hidden when wearing the jabot. I'll post a few pics to show what I mean.



    A close up


    This is what it should look like, with the jabot and cuffs.
    McMurdo,

    What do you wear under your Montrose for a shirt?

    I just wear an undershirt, as what I have is a jabot and cuff set, I must say it is warm enough regardless.

    I used to wear a t-shirt, mainly to absorb the sweat. The Montrose is a seriously sweaty garment believe you me! Especially if it is like mine with a quilted lining under velvet.

    So, are the lace cuffs buttoned to the inside sleeves of the Montrose?

    No they are elastic I got them from our own Lady Chystel, well worth the price by the way.

    To my eye, the Montrose looks incomplete without the Jabot and cuffs.
