I take pictures of my hands a lot... I guess it's because I'm just so sick of my damn face. It's actually driving my OCD crazy that there's three pictures of my hands on the front page of my photostream, even though they all have different colours, compositions and concepts. OH MY GOD those all started with C's. Skills. 255/365 I don't like this on the laptop monitor. :/

While searching through the Lewis Walpole Gallery last summer I came across many images of riding habits, not all of which were the typical design we are accustom to seeing. I started collecting up these to get a better idea of when or what it was. Although there seems to be a variance of style (two in particular), I'm just going to define what follows as "unfitted Riding Habits", meaning they lack a waist seam. It seems to come into style along with the Polonaise gown, and some distinctly resemble it down to the wrinkles. Some are more military in style, one fashion plate of this style defines it as a Bavarian Frock, while the others have a tapering collar with a tie for closure in front. There were many other images that looked like they might be unfitted, but I really couldn't tell if it was just the artists quick rendition (especially since the arm usually covers the seam). I was in the Millinery/Tailor shop soon after and Mark Hutter had made a habit based on the Polonaise style (you can see the final product on Sarah here). He mentioned that it might even be called Riding Habit a la Polonaise. It took me up until this month to really delve into documents to find any references to that particular style. I found three potential references to a Riding Habit a la Polonaise (or commonly Polonese), and a few good ideas of colors and interesting comments I'll post at the bottom. In the Public Advertiser, April 15 of 1779: PARMENTIER, lately from Paris, Ladies Robe and Mantua-maker, makes all sorts of ladies dresses in the present taste; as Polish, Circassian, Italian, and Levee gowns for the country; Caraco a la Provencale, Riding-Habits a la Polonoise, and all sorts of corsets. In the Morning Post and Daily Advertiser, January 31 of 1775 there is a Habit-Maker advertising that he makes "Masquerade dresses, and a la Polonaise". I can't quite guarantee he isn't referring to a gown of that style, but it's something to keep in mind once I know more about who made Polonaise gowns (probably dependent on usage since "Polonaise" seems to come up in reference to Masquerades early on). In the Gazeteer and New Daily Advertiser, January 1 or 1776 there is a long list of items available and prices beside them. Under "Habits made of:" is Superfine 4 9 0, Cassimere 4 14 6, Neatly Trimmed a la Polonaise 5 5 0, and Ratteen for winter wear 3 13 6. 1778: Miss Wicket and Miss Trigger 1778: The Favourite Footman 1778: The Female Fox Hunter (Proper Dating) 1779 "Fraque a Bavaire" 1779: Reynards Last Shift 1780: A Scene in the Park 1780: A Soft Tumble after a Hard Ride 1780: The Ladies Shooting Poney 1781: Satirical Print 1781: The Sudden Explosion Public Advertiser August 23 1776: Grey with Scarlet lining and Stone with Green lining.

Caledonian Mercury December 9 1782: "Superfine printed Paoli for fashionable riding habits" General Evening Post June 13 1778: "The only tonish undress at present among the ladies of all ranks is a scarlet riding habit, faced of the colour that distinguishes the regiment of militia in which their husbands, their lovers, or their keepers now serve, at the different encampments." Morning Post and Daily Advertiser April 22 1780: "Ladies Riding Hats made peculiarly light, and of the best qualities; of a most delicate white, without the least dusty powder in them, a merrit no other sort of white hats can claim; are also dyed of various fine colours, and if required dyed to match habits. The black are remarkably light, and of superior quality to any yet every offered to the public."
