 A striking Victorian riding habit, in cotton twill, iin the second bustle style ( late 1880s). this style uses a saftey skirt that first appeared in the 80s, in a pronounced contract to thwe beautifully draped and voluminous skirts of the previous decades, providing more safety for the rider as less likely to tangle around the pommels,

 Features:

* made in high quality cotton twill in a lovely shade of deep blue - washable

* bodice flatlined in cotton sateen, edges piped.

* The bodice closes with buttons

 

 The skirt is of a victorian safety skirt design, with the fabric arranged in a way to fit around the pommels of the sidesaddle without unnecessary bulk, based on a 1888 victorian  pattern

 The skirt is unlined and unweighted -  weights can be added by the owner as needs be.

 The skirt features  a button and a loop arrangement that would enable it to be worn shorter for walking

 

 

 The finsih inside is modern, with overlocker  to save on costs. the bodice is unboned, if you would like to add boning please select appropriate option

* measurements

Jacket closes at waist 32" ( 80cm), bust 42" (107cm), back width 15.5" ( 39cm) - probably suitable for a corsetted UK  size 14 sleeve length 24" ( 61cm) - here shown on size 12,  a tad too big!.

skirt waist closes at 31" (78cm),  space for an inch to let out if needs be

 

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

 when measuring, please measure on a corset! 

 

 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 £950 plus fabrics
