Equipment

Ceremonial crimson sash; ordinary No. 1 uses the authorised Sam Browne or shoulder-belt alternative. Other-ranks clasp and pipes/drums equipment are separate.

Large regimental cap badge without backing.

Legwear options

Choose the existing skirt, dress or female-cut trouser outfit, or Royal Dragoon Guards No. 1 Green Overalls. These are alternative outfits, not additional garments to wear together. Retain any rank, appointment, occasion and pattern conditions; select footwear and fittings to match the chosen legwear.

Fittings & Lead Times

Measurements are taken and fittings overseen by Geoffrey Golding at the St Albans workroom, with each garment checked throughout the making process for fit, balance, finish and correct detail. Lead time is typically 8-12 weeks, depending on workshop capacity, fitting requirements and the date required.
