From Paradise Publications:

Recreate a piece of American history with these heartwarming 1895 Sunday Cycling Costumes based on an antique photo from the late Victorian Era. The bicycle gave women the freedom to get around independently. Our nostalgic recreation features realistic blouses of crochet edged ribbon strips. The skirts comes in 2 finely pleated styles with a tight fitted waist and comfortable bell shaped hem. Each girl wears an adorable little straw hat made from crocheted ribbon.
