What's a bored historical costumer to do when introduced to an adorable Irish Cob horse? Sew a Victorian riding habit, of course! Horseback riding clothes changed during the Victorian era with the fashionable silhouette; this riding dress is an 1860s style made in wool. I made this costume using modern and historical sewing techniques, as well as sewing a Victorian petticoat and lace collar, and decorating a riding hat to match. Then, I mounted up for some Victorian equestrian adventures-- and gratuitous horse cuddles.
