Hi all, this year im entering my daughter in the M&M lead rein class at Royal Windsor and need to find a nice outfit for mereasonably priced id rather go second hand as she'll be 7 later this so will soon be moving on to First Ridden classes. SO far weve done inaffliliated so gone for black trousers tweed jacket and riding hat but obviously now i need to to the fancy skirt ect. although wont need to be to fancy for M&M. Does anyone have any ideas where i could get and nice outfit and hat from. Ive tried ebay but there doesnt seem to be to much on there at the moment. Im a aize 16 on top 14 on bottem and a size 3 riding hat. Let me know if you have any ideas. :)
Many thanks
Zoe

Have you tried the Oxfam shop - actually ask in there - on a Monday/Tuesday, when they're quieter in the shop and are sorting the bags brought in over the weekend. I hope the system is still the same, as I used to find Windsor (and Pangbourne) were always the best for any outfits/work clothes/evening wear/designer labels etc, so would think you might locate a nice tweedy suit hopefully in a colour you can co-ordinate with daughter.
 
Thanks loopylozza, although a little over budget for me.

Dubsie thats a great idea never thought of that, theres actually quite a few charity shops in Windsor so probaly worth a trip to all of them! Yer ive got a tweed jacket for me daughter, although the velvet on the collars pretty worn so if i found something reasonably priced for me and it didnt match i may treat her to a new or second hand new one.
Colours im thinking of are royal blue and yellow as hes dun Pony in my siggy, but again i could change to suit a reasonbly priced suit.
 
over budget, but shows you the sort of thing to aim for (or look for second hand)

now is the best time to look, people having a sort out getting new colours for this season :)

Yer im hoping one of those outfits is going to come up on ebay for about a tenner hehe;).

Yer ive left it till now hoping stuff is going to come up and it gives me a few months to sort.
 
Make it up yourself - ebay for navy pleated skirts, tweed box jackets, same for hats, you can get them for pennies in the general clothing section, without the "horsey" or "lead rein" tags attached! I did the same - even bought some velvet to stich onto generic tweed collar and cuffs to match riders jacket, changed the buttons - basically customised to match the expensive links shown above!
