Wimbledon Inspired: Tennis Dresses

With Wimbledon in full swing and my being in London next week (just missing Wimbledon), I was inspired to do a post on tennis dresses. I haven't played tennis since I was a kid, but these super chic dresses makes me want to serve up one on the court. Tennis dresses are a sleeveless tank style with a feminine silhouette -- think pleats, collars, and fit-and-flare styles. This sporty-meets-high-fashion wear is something I could definitely ace (I had to insert a tennis pun). Maybe it's time to dust out that old tennis racket I have lying somewhere as I envision beating Maria Sharapova in my cute tennis dress...or not.
