Adorning a featureless mannequin, the first element of the costume was a bodysuit made of a shiny black rubber and adorned with exquisite detailing. It was immediately apparent that the headpiece of the suit was distinctly not human in shape, but rather made in the long and broad image of an equine with only the holes for the eyes being appropriate to the position of the wearer.

Where there might normally have been space for ten fingers, the arms of the suit ended in a pair of hooves that would swallow the hands of the wearer. In the same manner there was no accommodation for feet save for a slightly larger pair of hooves into which they would be slipped.

Alone the shape of the thing and the sturdy leather straps that Eleanor now saw were attached to it, would have baffled her. But taken with the equine nature of the suit and the knowledge she had gained of what things were indulged in by Madame and her circle, there was little else she could have concluded that the ensemble was intended for.

Dressed in the suit and then strapped to the frame, the person wearing the costume would in effect become a human rocking horse.
