#3 THREE PIECE CYCLING SUIT
This cycling costume is inspired by Henrietta Muller’s 1896 patent #8766. It is an unusual patent because the inventor addresses an entire cycling suit. Her three-part design features a tailored jacket, a long A-line skirt that can be raised in height via loops sewn into the hem that catch at buttons on the waistband and an all-in-one undergarment (like a vintage onesie), which combines a blouse and bloomer.
This pattern is approx. UK 12 (minimal instructions provided)
