Textiles / Clothing / Fashion / "trajes de gala"
English term or phrase: full costume
Context: an equestrian school where we can go ... to admire the magnificent horses and riders in full costume.

In Spanish (in Andalucía) I would say they refer to "trajes de gala" but I am not sure if this is correct and how do you say it in French...

TIA, mmm :)

I finally took this suggestion as when I advanced with the text I found out that not only "cavaliers" but also horses were "dressed up"! I thought this was the most convenient in this case... Thank you all for your help! mmm
