I think I've decided what I'm doing for Halloween! I'd like to finally make an outfit inspired by the Dangerous Liaisons yellow traveling gown. I am seeing a red jacket with black trim over a black skirt.

Yay!!

I've ordered the Ladies riding habit from Tailor's Guide, upon the sage advice of [livejournal.com profile] bauhausfrau

It depends on what time period of riding habit you want to make. The Tailors Guide one is pretty early - like 1740-50 and I'm pretty sure the Rocking Horse farm one is more like 1770. There are some considerable differences in the styles between the different time periods - fuller skirts on the jacket for the earlier for one. I haven't used the RH pattern yet so i can't give you a review of it but I love the TG one, it's really simple.

Sorry, I'm so lazy, I should have written it out - I meant the Reconstructing History one =)
It's also 1730s-1760s. Their patterns seem very well researched and well written in general.
