Our riding skirts are designed to fit as an elegant and protective overskirt; the buckles at the front allow for size adjustment.
The skirt waist sits on the waistline, just on or below the belly button. The weight of the skirt allows it to sit comfortably on the hips and over the natural curve of the body.
Each skirt ranges between two sizes (see chart) when the skirt is done up at its tightest it is at its lowest size.

Waxed cotton Explained
We use Traditional English Waxed Cotton.
The wax cotton fabric is waterproof but wherever the fabric is stitched there is a possibility it will allow water in. If you find that there is a leak in your skirt you can easily touch up the area with the wax dressing provided.
How to re-wax using waxed cotton dressing
- Using a damp sponge clean of any excess dirt from the waxed cotton.
- Place your tin of wax cotton dressing in hot water to soften it.
- Apply thinly with a clean cloth to you waxed cotton.
- Paying extra attention to seams, pocket edges and any particularly worn areas.
Regular reproofing will help maintain the waxed cotton and prolong its life. You can use other re-waxing products as long as they are designed for, Wax cotton garments.
The best way to store you skirt, is to hang it up using the hanger at the back of the skirt. This will allow it to dry out and reduce the risk of it staying damp and mould forming.

My Nouvelle Habit riding skirt is my new favourite piece of kit!
It has been designed with a huge amount of thought and this is matched by the attention to detail, craftsmanship & high quality materials – this really will last for years!
Odette could not have been easier to deal with. She answered all my questions and gave me a stunning bespoke skirt – I love orange!!!
I’ve ridden in the skirt in torrential downpours, windy storms and freezing temperatures – it makes riding just so much nicer in these conditions (and it makes you feel stylish). It keeps me warm, protects my saddle and saves me so much time in cleaning.
I highly recommend 👌

What a wonderful product.
I’m used to good equipment but often they will be missing something- pocket/ loop etc. This product really has thought of everything, a stylish product which is actually waterproof, good fastenings and great quality through and through, right down to the hanging loop!
A quality stylish product that will last from a local company you can trust. Thoroughly recommend this.
