Riding Habit from Nicholas Heideloff's Gallery of Fashion, June, 1795, Fig. 55. This habit combines colors in a daring way--a bright scarlet habit is given an aqua silk collar and worn with a black hat with a wide rose ribbon and two black plumes. The white cravat echoes the cravats so essential to male fashion of the day. The figure in the background is the lady's groom--the essential servant for a lady going out for a ride in a public park. Her elegant horse might have been purchased by an adoring husband or a kind father or brother at Tattersall's Horse Auction Yard, opened 1766

The hair in curls and ringlets; the hind hair turned up plain. White patent hat made of raw silk; two yellow craped feathers in the front. Riding dress of grey cloth. Waistcoat of yellow silk. Riding handkerchief, trimmed full round the neck. York tan gloves. Yellow shoes.

THE following are the raging fashions in Paris at the present time.Riding Coat à la Pallas.--This dress makes the waist appear very neat and elegant: the lappel à la Minerve is made to go round the breast and shoulders in a drapery, and fastens with buttons at the throat.[no image accompanied this description]

Round beaver close cap, and feather in front, with gold chain band round the crown. Gold band of muslin cravat round the neck. Blue, green, or corbeau jacket and petticoat, with black velvet collar, and double rows of Nelson's-ball gilt buttons; fine tan leather gloves; half boots of black Spanish or Morocco leather: a small quantity of hair appearing round the cap.

This is without sleeves, and the slope is in the Greek fashion: it is worn over a white dress. It makes a very long skirt behind. The waist is plaited into fold, the front adorned in the same manner. It is of a very grand design, says citizeness Lissrand.

Beaver hat of black or purple, with gold chain band and double feather. Habit of corbeau or blue, with ball buttons in double circular rows.--Black collar.

Blue habit, trimmed with gold cord. Hat trimmed with gold band, and black feather in front.

Small riding hat of black beaver, fancifully adorned with gold cordon and tassels, with a long ostrich feather of green in front; or a green hat with black tassels and black feather. Black half boots, laced and fringed with green. York tan golves. When this dress is worn as a curicle or walking costume, it is made as a pelisse without the riding jacket, and confined round the waist by a fancy belt of black and green.

This habit was made by Mr. S. Clark, 37, Golden-square.
