It's actually more of a complaint thread for me. (Warm-up) Pants without pockets, ill-fitting tops (for the very small or very large), horizontal lines in the Wrong place. Boring plain colors or weird combinations. I have to wonder if the people who design this stuff ever wear it or, better yet, play in it.

Sorry, 'Nox. Were that it as easy for us as the guys. Pair of shorts & any old t-shirt will do. Believe me, there are days when I've played that way...and maybe I should just go back to it. Be my own form of Protest for the Year. Tennis dress, be dammed!

I understand.

I secretly dream about one day striding out on court in my extremely comfy and perfectly patterned Peter Alexander pajamas with added sponge bob boxer shorts.

One day my friends, everyone including africa children will wear pajamas to school and work. Everyone will be much happier and contented with life.

Here's another complaint. What's up with the flimsy shorts in most of the tennis skorts? Has anyone else noticed? They are called compression shorts, but they sure don't compress anything. The material is so flimsy that you can't even hold a tennis ball in your shorts leg. Maybe this is specific to Adidas and Nike?

Yes, i noticed that. I have to learn it from Cindy to cut the flimsy shorts and wear my own compression shorts.

I've done that to a couple of skirts too, but the skirts end up sliding around on me. I wish the clothing manufacturers would use more substantial fabric in their skirts.

Same here. Bought xs for my sister, and M for myself - both were huge! When I returned them TW said they heard that a lot about taut particular Adidas line... Too bad, very nice product otherwise.....

I got it in a medium, but it was way too big. The shorts fit and the bottom was ok, but the top was a sack. Also, the contrasting shorts were adorable, but the white bra was just kind of sad and too loose. Le sigh.

I love the classic, throwback look of this blue Wilson dress. Has anyone seen it?

Angle Queen · 06-18-2012, 10:06 AM

OK, gals. I need some kind of suggestion.

Unlike catfish and crystal_clear, I don't need heavy-duty compression anything. If anything, I need loosey-goosey. Can't exact go commando under a tennis dress. Anyone know of any breathable shorts...WITH POCKETS!?!? Anyone ever thought of wear a swim short on the court?

TW Staff · 06-19-2012, 07:58 AM

Hi Angle Queen,

The only 2 shorties I can think of with shorts are by Wilson and Tail. The name says compression, but we didn't find the overly tight, rather just fitted.

When they opened golf&tennis store in my area, i bought a pair of "In-Between" brand shorts (not sure if I can post link to their website, but I am sure you can google it). It was the cheapest off brand pair of shorts I have ever had (I think i paid under $10), but till this day they are the best - nicely stay on, don't roll, pockets hold well!.

Angle Queen · 06-28-2012, 10:03 AM

Thanks for the suggestions, Tiffani and tennis-player...but those still strike me as way too tight. Remember, I'm looking for a really airy mesh liner-like thing.

Let's see if this image works:

Haven't had the chance to play in my boy swimsuit (with said mesh liner)...but I'm gonna. Will report back.

Inga · 07-03-2012, 10:25 AM

Angle Queen, if you're small, the Nike girls' running shorts I bought about 5 years ago have pockets -- I wear them almost every day in the summer (around the house and for tennis), and they've held up well. They don't have a mesh insert, but they're airy.

Ah, I'm sorry! I misunderstood. Finding women's tennis specific shorts with pockets is tough these days... I know the Nike Pacer short has a built-in mesh brief like you're talking about, but there are no pockets. There are some men's shorts that have pockets and an inner brief. The shorts from Lotto are like that. They're longer than women's shorts with about a 7" inseam.

Men's Lotto: http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/Lott...TO-LMSICS.html

I did find a pair of shorts at our sister company Running Warehouse that might be something you'd like. It has pockets and a "crepe liner." I'll have to check with our running apparel experts to make sure it's the meshy inner brief, though.

Angle Queen · 07-15-2012, 10:06 AM

Thanks, ladies for the suggestions.

I am open to just about any kind of pocketed "shorts," regardless of what sport they're "designed" for. The 7" inseam is probably just a bit too long and, from what I remember, most running short are, ahem, a bit too much on the short side.

FWIW, I did try playing in the TYR swim short my dearest bought for me after I complained the women's swimwear "picked" when you sat on the concrete side of the pool. And...that experiment went quite well. Breezy, and a different sensation for sure....but comfortable, conservative (even by my standards) and something I'm willing to do again. With an entire week of 95F+ temps, I needed it cool and dry.

Tenfourtennis · 07-29-2012, 01:54 PM

not exactly talking about dresses, but has anybody tried any of the bolle stuff lately? they look super cute!

Tenfourtennis · 08-03-2012, 07:15 PM

ew, oh my gosh. I just got those bolle shirts- the material is so thin you can see right through it and it is not looking good! glad returns are free

Angle Queen · 01-20-2013, 09:10 AM

Bump.

Did anyone get anything nice for Christmas that you want to show off? I specifically said no new tennis clothes, please. My tennis attire drawer runneth over. Skirts of darn near every color and plenty of shirt options too.

Was initially interested in Adidas' Yellow Dress that Ana was wearing:

...when I thought the yellow skirt part was an "overlay" of a white/grey skort. Now that I see it's just part of the fabric print, I'm not as enamored. Still, I thought it was a nice look for Ivanovic.

Topaz · 01-20-2013, 07:04 PM

I like it too! Especially like the cut of the top portion.
