The Riding Habit & the Brunswick

In A Gentleman’s Daughter, Cassandra and Helen wear riding habits for travel. That was inspired by this 1770s riding habit at the Victoria and Albert Museum.

I also liked the idea of having them wear a fashionable Brunswick traveling ensemble, but I thought that might be harder to picture. Here’s a video of a lady getting/being dressed in a Brunswick so you can appreciate how cool it is!
