    For the non horse people, "going for a hack" means having a leisurely ride on a well broken horse (one that a beginner could handle).

      Nowadays here it just means going for a ride, and definitely not for a beginner.- you need to be able to control your horse at all paces and in a variety of situations. Beginners going pony rides, where they learn how sto do exactly that

    I have desensitized a few horses to various "fashions" and things they could encounter! I have a huge bedspead with double ruffles and lace with fancy ribbon tassels that we use. I have insured a few brides and riders in fancy dress had safe and uneventful rides! Love my horses....also love these period costumes!

    I had to laugh when I saw this. 90% of the time when I wear HI cloth (pretty much every day), I wear a pair of long pants of that type underneath. I didn’t realize that it was also done that way in the 1850’s and 60’s . I started doing it after watching videos from Russia and the Middle East. That extra layer are really nice, especially during the colder time of the year

    As soon as you mounted the horse, wearing the '50s outfit, I thought "I hope she has a bomb-proof mount that doesn't mind the flapping fabric!" While I'm (as always) in awe of your design and sewing skills (is "sewist" the right word, or is that insulting?) The color is beautiful, the covered buttons are amazing! I must say that the 1850s and 1860s are not my favorite Victorian fashion period. I was recently an "extra" in a made for tv movie set in the 1860s and very early 1870s. Getting out of the voluminous bell-shaped crinoline for one slightly flattened in the front was a delight.

    I remember seeing a photo of a similar-era New York city courtesan and accomplished horsewoman, very famous in her time, mounted on a gorgeous horse in a habit that was tailored to the nth degree and extremely form fitting. Very, very beautiful. Her waist was exquisitely tiny. She drove the men mad as she rode by in Central Park. Such is the power of a well-fitting habit, as you demonstrate in your video here.

    It took me a while to come around to watching this video, but this outfit is really stunning! However, as an equestrian, the lack of safety when you are riding kind of stresses me out... no safety gear and this really long skirt seems like it could easily be a dangerous combo with a horse. I get that for historical accuracy, and the aestetic, safety gear is not ideal, but still...

    • @shutterchick79
      @shutterchick79 2 місяці тому +1

      Women of this time period didn't ride astride, they rode using a saddle that kept both legs in one side of the horse. Look up "riding side saddle". And they had specific clothing for riding, called "riding habits". No hoops, and the skirt was cut to accommodate the rider's position in the saddle.

    This outfit is obviously what a rich woman would wear! How did they clean the dirt, mud, and horse hair off this dress??! Yes, obviously a very rich woman who could afford a silk dress, and didn’t care if it got splattered with dirt and mud, because she has several of them, and can just buy another! The bottom of this dress would get filthy right away, outside dragging on the ground, and a good chance of it even getting ripped! But the rich woman wouldn’t care, because she can just buy another! I also doubt that this woman goes near the stables with this dress, dragging! She has her horseman bring the horse to her in the grass, of course! And obviously very rich in order to have riding horses in the first place!
