This English Riding Habit is based on a “Ageless Pattern no. 1256”. The Basque was far to small for me since I don’t wear a corset underneath, so it needed some alteration… The skirt is asymmetrical as you sit on a side saddle and can be hooked on the lady’s back while she’s standing.

Actually an aunt of mine is a hatter and made the hat in the matching colors of the dress…

Yes, this was one of my three wedding dresses. I needed another one for the dance, since the pink one was worn with riding boots ;-)
