Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Woman's riding jacket

1750-60
Britain
Camlet (silk and camel hair) with silver braid

Women\'s riding outfits (known as riding habits) were considered very masculine looking in the 18th century, but this example shows how a riding jacket could show off a woman's small waist. This jacket is styled after a man�s coat, although it has been modified with a waist seam to fit over stays and a wide petticoat. Careful mitring and gathering of the heavy braid allows its arrangement around the pockets and into rococo curves down the jacket front. The trim consists of three parts: a wide ribbon of silver thread woven in a geometrical pattern, and a narrow gimp of silver on either side. The wide silver braid applied in generous curves reflects the influence of the fashionable Rococo style and accentuates the feminine shape.
