About MeRiding habit comprising black wool military style fitted jacket with false buttons, grey wool side-saddle skirt and grey breeches.

The jacket is incredibly fitted, and although very elegant, as was expected in the late 19th century, it would have restricted movement as it was worn over a corset. The breeches allowed for a little comfort but were worn to preserve the lady's modesty.
