I am totally making the redingote on the right in the 1787 plate! Someday. I do have the fabric, though.
I’ve had my eye on the “Mrs. Mosely” redingote for a while!
You are making me want to make a riding habit now… bad Kendra!
I love these so much. I’ve always wanted to make this riding waistcoat: http://www.flickr.com/photos/habit_and_deshabille/5458439524/
