A hunting suit like this would have ben worn on special occations like
hunting with the king and queen. Masculine fashion like this was only
used for hunting. The tricorne, her Steinkirke cravate, the jacket
with the big cuffs, the way the buttonholes are worked and all the
buttons. At this time when this print was made, women didnt wear
tricornes for daily wear, but they wore Fontanges wich are caps with
high extended starched laces round the forehead. Also her wig is
masculin, a fully bottomed wig with lots of curls, was only worn with
this kind of outfit. The only hair shown for ladies this time, was
small curls on the forehead just below the fontange. In the back, the
hair was hided in a cape.
The daily wear uniform for women was the mantua, wich was an open robe
with a matching petticoat. Mantua was mostly draped at each hip
(lifted up with loops and buttons) Sleaves did have cufs, but these
usually was attached by the elbows, where the shift showed.
I have seen portraits from this period where women wears a more
relaxed style of dress, with t-shaped bodices and loose skirts, wich
could be daily wear.

Thanks, Kate.
Since I am new to this group, I must have just missed the January
discussion of Sidesaddle and clothing.
Does anyone know if the person doing that research for a paper on
women's equestrian clothing, as mentioned in the archive, has written
the paper or is it still in progress?
As far as this picture,
<<http://www.costumes.org/history/leloir/vol10/48_1692.jpg >> what
makes it a riding habit rather than an everyday outfit? Any hints in
the photo that I should be seeing but don't?

We discussed a 17th century print of a lady in a riding habit not
long
ago. It was in the 1660s that ladies began to wear habits with the
upper half copying masculine attire.
