EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the roaring twenties with these elegant tennis frocks from Robinson and Cleaver, showcased in the Illustrated London News in 1927. The fashionable women and girls depicted on the tennis court are dressed in the height of sportswear chic, embodying the spirit of leisure and freedom that characterized the era. The tennis frocks, with their short hemlines and fitted silhouettes, were a departure from the longer, more restrictive dresses of the time. Designed for both functionality and style, these frocks featured practical pockets, allowing players to store essentials such as handkerchiefs or tennis balls. The hats, a necessary accessory for sun protection, were also an essential part of the tennis ensemble. The wide-brimmed hats with ribbon details and the smaller, more fitted berets, add a touch of sophistication and glamour to the outfits. The girls, dressed in similar frocks, demonstrate the popularity of tennis as a sport for women and girls of all ages. The rackets, held with confident grace, are a testament to their skill and enthusiasm for the game. The tennis court, with its lush green grass and white lines, serves as the perfect backdrop for these stylish women and girls. The simple yet elegant design of the frocks, combined with the classic tennis setting, make for a timeless and iconic image that captures the essence of the 1920s.
