Young Blonde Girl Reveals In Blue Skirt, Necklace And White Stockings

In sport
For many years, the wearing of white dresses or skirts by female players was a requirement for competitions such as tennis, table tennis and badminton. Over time, tennis dresses got shorter and coloured clothing is now generally permitted.
The French Suzanne Lenglen discarded the usual tennis costume during the 1920 Summer Olympics for a dress produced by Jean Patou. The dress featured bare arms and a pleated skirt that was above the knee. In the 1928 Winter Olympics in St. Moritz, in figure skating, the Norwegian Sonja Henie wore for the first time a short skirt.
