For the non horse people, "going for a hack" means having a leisurely ride on a well broken horse (one that a beginner could handle).
Thanks. I knew the word, but not the precise meaning.
Thanks! I was wondering what that meant.
Nowadays here it just means going for a ride, and definitely not for a beginner.- you need to be able to control your horse at all paces and in a variety of situations. Beginners going pony rides, where they learn how sto do exactly that
Thank you for updating me! 😸
I have desensitized a few horses to various "fashions" and things they could encounter! I have a huge bedspead with double ruffles and lace with fancy ribbon tassels that we use. I have insured a few brides and riders in fancy dress had safe and uneventful rides! Love my horses....also love these period costumes!
I had to laugh when I saw this. 90% of the time when I wear HI cloth (pretty much every day), I wear a pair of long pants of that type underneath. I didn’t realize that it was also done that way in the 1850’s and 60’s . I started doing it after watching videos from Russia and the Middle East. That extra layer are really nice, especially during the colder time of the year
Very interesting about the elastic! I did not know, it was common before WW2, never mind the 1850s 👀
That lovely rich burgundy is one of my favourite colours. A magnificent Friesian horse is the perfect equine partner for that wonderful colour!
The flow of the fabric and the color, against the dark horse, is visually stunning!
I finally looked up Ashley Court and it's stunning. Your videos are always so calming and interesting, plus the beautiful period home enhances the perfectly handmade outfits of the past. You deserve to have so many more subs. Blessings to your family and of course the horse.
Thank you for adding subtitles, I'm from Russia. Your videos are very good.
As soon as you mounted the horse, wearing the '50s outfit, I thought "I hope she has a bomb-proof mount that doesn't mind the flapping fabric!" While I'm (as always) in awe of your design and sewing skills (is "sewist" the right word, or is that insulting?) The color is beautiful, the covered buttons are amazing! I must say that the 1850s and 1860s are not my favorite Victorian fashion period. I was recently an "extra" in a made for tv movie set in the 1860s and very early 1870s. Getting out of the voluminous bell-shaped crinoline for one slightly flattened in the front was a delight.
I'm so excited for Equestrian Dressmaker to finally be out! I've been looking forward to it for so long!
Has been out since November!
Belated Happy New Year, Izabela and company! My goodness, just look at all the fabric in that skirt! Our ancestors' outfits could be very glam, but I'm glad I can get by with jeans and a T-shirt!
Oh Izabela, you look so beautiful that I'm crying whilst clutching my non exsistant pearls.
Very lovely habit both eras. I'm glad you are doing well. Happy belated 2024. You are still just as gorgeous as always and the horse, oh I love that beautiful animal.😊 Say cheerio to your wonderful hubby. Take care.
Thank you for another interesting video!🐾🌻
Lovely video with gorgeous habits. You look fabulous riding that beautiful horse
It’s a lovely color❤
25:39 I love how extra long the skirt is. The outfit is amazing looking.
Danke, sehr interessant 😊
What very smart outfits! I wouldn't care to jump fences in that huge skirt though! 🐎💚🐎
Take a hint from the late Queen Elisabeth II: always pin your hat to your hair!
Not possible with this hairdo. See our video on the hairpins!
Thank you for your New video❤
I love the frogging on the second jacket!
Love the color
You might be the best horsewoman I know of; riding sidesaddle takes especial skill and ability!
I am most definitely not. Sidesaddle is a skill but once you have a saddle that fits well to you and to the horse, it is a pleasure!
I wanna horsey! But I live in a big city and have a limited income. So I have to do w a cat and a dog.🐈⬛🐕
Oh goodness now where have I seen those suits before. Oh yea, my wardrobe. :D
I wondered why the skirt was so long that it had to be worn over the arm. I understood it only in the video - it definitely looks amazing on the horse.
This must be a riding outfit for when the temperature outside is very cool.
Beautiful braiding.
Beautiful outfits and great information! I didn't realize elasticated sportswear corsets were that old. I've mostly heard about them in the 1890s. How much fabric does it take to make a skirt like that?
E pattern and instructions in the book :-)
I remember seeing a photo of a similar-era New York city courtesan and accomplished horsewoman, very famous in her time, mounted on a gorgeous horse in a habit that was tailored to the nth degree and extremely form fitting. Very, very beautiful. Her waist was exquisitely tiny. She drove the men mad as she rode by in Central Park. Such is the power of a well-fitting habit, as you demonstrate in your video here.
Is that your horse? What a beauty he is!
@priorattire there is a typo in your title.
Takes half the day just to get your corset on, and get dressed! 😂🤣
I LOVE the riding dress. but the first jacket was beautiful but the other one looked better the black brocade made it pop.
No black brocade was used ….
It would have been nice to see what the back of the corset looks like!
There’s a little error in the title: I think it’s 1850 instead of 18500 :)
It's very impressive that she already knows what people will be wearing that far into the future 😛
@@LadyDragonbane ohhh that’s it! ;) Fashion often makes a come back, so you’re probably right hahah
There was quite an echo I had to put the subtitles on to understand properly vertically interesting as always ! ❤
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👐👐👐👐👍👍👍😻
And every rider in the land cheered when elasticated leg cuffs were invented.
Very beautiful riding gown, the jackets are both exquisit! You look great on the stunning horse! Sadly there was so much echo in the room, it was very difficult to understand what you were saying.
Put the caps on!
What color was the brocade then I would like to know please if you don't mind thank you.
I didn’t use any brocade at all?
More so Video...😊😊😅😅😅😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
when did it become standard to wear heeled shoes for riding ?
I got sound back 🎉
It took me a while to come around to watching this video, but this outfit is really stunning! However, as an equestrian, the lack of safety when you are riding kind of stresses me out... no safety gear and this really long skirt seems like it could easily be a dangerous combo with a horse. I get that for historical accuracy, and the aestetic, safety gear is not ideal, but still...
I'm getting no sound 😢
Stop start over, sound is fine.
How in the world would you straddle and properly sit on a horse with that hoop thing on??! How do you even get on the horse with that huge hoop on??!
I know how to sew corsets so I can get a job
The so can start you up www.priorattire.co.uk/ourshop/prod_8098470-Making-a-standard-corset-186080s-recording.html
I love the presentation but the echoing is very distracting. I think you need a microphone.
I have one. Echo even worse. The joys of historical places. That is why I have caps on.
The volume was very echoing. Perhaps you need a microphone.
I think the outfit was perfectly complete when the video started and see no reason to go more elaborate.
She was in her underwear? Lol
That was her under garments
@@yeshualionofjudah7107I think that’s why he liked it.
Scandalous! 😂
Very difficult to understand what you are saying with all that echo.
Please invest in a wearable microphone.
That is why I pay the big bucks for the captions…
i understand but not everyone is capable to read captions AND watch what you are doing. With a tie microphone, we might have some noise due to the clothing, but it would be very very more understandable and way cheaper than paying for subtitles I guess.@@priorattire
@@yazdhenab. I agree. Captions are very distracting.
This video was unwatchable for me.
This outfit is obviously what a rich woman would wear! How did they clean the dirt, mud, and horse hair off this dress??! Yes, obviously a very rich woman who could afford a silk dress, and didn’t care if it got splattered with dirt and mud, because she has several of them, and can just buy another! The bottom of this dress would get filthy right away, outside dragging on the ground, and a good chance of it even getting ripped! But the rich woman wouldn’t care, because she can just buy another! I also doubt that this woman goes near the stables with this dress, dragging! She has her horseman bring the horse to her in the grass, of course! And obviously very rich in order to have riding horses in the first place!
I believe that this corset and dress would be for a rich woman. How could you lace up and tighten that corset up by yourself??! You must have a maid do that! And I’m talking about a woman who is alone at the time of dressing.
I’d be more interested to see what the lower and middle class wore, not the very affluent.
I love your videos but couldn't finish watching this one because of the hollow echo. Just awful.
Just put caps on!
@priorattire The auto generated captions are really bad, not helpful at all. I do like your videos, but really so many of them are extremely difficult to understand.
@@kathleenstoin671 It takes a few hours, but the CC does catch up. I watch with the CC on all the time. I'm very easily overstimulated.
The echo in the room makes it hard to understand you
Put the caps on !
A voice over is much nicer.
