1740s Brown Wool Riding Habit

Another one of my very first creations, I completely hand sewed this 1740s brown wool riding habit using a pattern from Reconstructing History. I learned so much throughout the process and though the garment has a lot of fit issues, Iā€™m still proud of my work because I did incredibly well considering the limited amount of experience I had at the time. I made everything featured except for the tricorne hat.
