The Ladies' Book of Etiquette, and Manual of Politeness

The
riding-dress,
or
habit,
is
best
made
to
fit
the
figure
tightly,
with
tight
sleeves.
It
may
be
open
in
the
front,
over
a
neatly
fitting
chemisette,
or
buttoned
close
to
the
throat,
with
a
neat
linen
collar
and
cuffs.
The
loose
sacque
is
ungraceful,
but
a
basque
is
most
becoming
on
horseback.
Gauntlet
gloves,
of
leather,
are
the
most
suitable,
and
must
be
loose
enough
to
give
your
hand
perfect
freedom,
yet
not
so
loose
as
to
interfere
with
its
motions.
Do
not
wear
the
skirt
too
long;
it
will
be
dangerous
in
case
of
accident,
and
it
may
prove
annoying
to
your
horse.
Your
habit
must
be
made
of
a
material
sufficiently
heavy
to
hang
gracefully,
and
not
move
too
much
with
the
wind.
For
a
winter
habit,
a
warmly-lined
basque,
trimmed
at
the
throat
and
hands
with
fur,
is
an
elegant
and
appropriate
dress,
and
a
round
cap
of
the
same
cloth
as
the
habit,
with
a
band,
and
pieces
to
cover
the
ears,
of
fur
to
match
the
dress
trimmings,
makes
a
handsome
and
appropriate
dress.
In
summer,
your
hat
should
be
of
fine
straw,
and
slouched
to
shade
the
face;
in
winter,
of
felt,
or,
if
you
prefer,
a
close
cap
of
cloth.
The
hat
may
be
trimmed
with
feathers
or
knots
of
ribbon,
and
the
shape
should
be
one
to
protect
the
complexion,
at
the
same
time
graceful
and
becoming.
Avoid
any
display
in
a
riding
dress.
Choose
a
material
of
some
dark
or
neutral
tint,
and
never
use
showy
trimmings.
