When women explored men\u2019s wardrobes: amazon dresses in the mid-19th century<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the mid-19th century, sport was a fairly marginal activity. While middle-class men exercised from time to time, women only rode horses. At the time, there was no specific piece of clothing dedicated to sport, but rather everyday clothes that people could use according to their need. The men\u2019s wardrobe, composed of bifid, close-fitting pieces, seemed more appropriate, allowing a wider range of movement than dresses and other ensembles for women. Women took from the men\u2019s wardrobe and had their clothes reworked by tailors for men in order to ride horses at that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by men\u2019s trousers, women added a small buttonhole to the waistband of their dresses so that they could pull up their petticoats when dismounting from the horse and move around without being hindered. This new ensemble participated in the popularization of sport as a daily activity for bourgeois society and led to the masculinization of women\u2019s clothing. The feminine wardrobe started to borrow fabrics, accessories and cuts from their counterparts that were better suited to equestrian activities, such as hunting and riding. Women also donned top hats and caps, masculine attributes that were nonetheless adorned with a light veil to protect their faces from dust and wind… and keep them elegant at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n
