riding skirt
Mounted lady's wear
A riding skirt is a long, full skirt designed for horseback riding, allowing a woman to ride sidesaddle while maintaining modesty.
Popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries before women commonly wore trousers, riding skirts were often split or had extra fabric to drape properly over the horse: She changed into her riding skirt before the hunt.
