Thanks, Kate.
Any one have the link to that print, handy, so I can catch up ?

Thanks, Melusine.
From what I've learned, so far, riding clothes were not very different
from regular clothes until rather recently. Sidesaddles are also a
recent invention. I've heard that sidesaddles, as we understand the
term, did not exist prior to about 1800. I don't know if that is true.
