 Features:

* made in great quality wool in aubergine/ burgundy

 *long voluminous skirt, pleated to the waistband, selvage used as hem, braid decoration. here worn over a petticoat - not included. For historical purposes, a petticoat  or Turkish pantaloons/trousers would be orn unerneath.

* measurements

 Skirt closes at 32", there is room to make it smaller or maybe half an inch bigger if you move the button. there are two buttonholes for slight adjustment

Jacket closes at waist 32", bust 41" - a corsetted size 14 or so.

 *this style is worn over a Victorian riding corset -   wearing it with modern undergarments will likely be detrimental to the fit ( the bust position). Riding corsets can be purchased  from the shop as stock items or ordered bespoke made.

 The stock habits are all priced very attractively due to the fact that they  are all  on a bit of experimental side as I am working on perfecting the patterns for various sizes and styles - they also have been worn for a photoshoot,  some around horses, so there might be a speck of mud or a few stray horse hair that escaped our cleaning service :-)

 Bespoke habit in this style starts from £450 plus fabrics
