 A striking Victorian riding habit, in wool, suitable for 1837-40s era, and recreated for the Victorian Dressmaker volume 2.

 the habit has been used for a photoshoot with horses and has slight marks on the skirt - it is therefore offered at a reduced price

 Note:The skirt can be easily shortened for a walking dress!

 Features:

* made in high quality wool 

* bodice flatlined in cotton, collar and cuffs in silk velvet

* The bodice  closes with hooks and bars, there are also hooks and eyes attaching the bodice to the skirt. 

 

 *long voluminous skirt,  cartridge pleated to the waistband.

 * Historical finish everywhere - the habit is entirely HANDSTITCHED. 

 

 The  accessories, blouse etc. are not included.

* measurements

Jacket closes at:

waist 28.5" ( 72cm),

bust 40" (102cm), - roughly as it is open in style

back width 15.5" ( 39cm) - 

skirt waist closes at 28.5" (72cm),  and is very long all the way around, as expected of the habit at that time.

 

 *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!
