Made from beautifully heavy cotton-linen, this riding outfit echoes the days of Georgian England. The dusky blue skirt has 2 slit-pockets and gathers at the waistband. The dark blue jacket has braided trim and gold tone buttons, set off by a wide lapel. The blouse is crisp white cotton, with a cravat-inspired ruffle at the neck.

 

Please note that the riding boots and the tricorn hat are sold separately.

This is me, Matilda

'My name is Matilda Marchmont.'

'Two days ago I would have said that I had the most boring life in the world, but ALL THAT HAS CHANGED.  The day after my thirteenth birthday I left my sleepy country home and family to travel for three freezing cold days on horseback to London... to join the glamour and craziness of Henry VIII's court.

I've only been here two hours and already its been terrifying, thrilling, shocking, weird and really exciting. My only friend in the world is my secret diary, which I lock in a hidden compartment in my traveling trunk.  But I can share its pages with you... if you can keep it secret too...

I'll be sharing court-life: the fashions, the food, the intrigues surrounding the queen, and whether I survive it all!
