Big Sky Riding Skirt
At the turn of the 20th century, equestrian women who were determined
to ride astride, rather than sidesaddle, wore these divided skirts that
enabled them to mount horses and still look socially acceptable. An ingenious
fashion, with front panel that buttons one way for a skirt and the other
way for pants. Pattern is derived from a skirt worn by legendary rancher
and rodeo rider, Fannie Sperry Steele. Misses 8-18
