Themed Cardio Tennis Clinics in the Fort Lauderdale Area
The stretch isn't elastane — adidas twists the yarn until it springs on its own — and there are shorts built in, which is the only reason any tennis dress actually works. It's fine. It wants to show you Milan and I guess I know some things about Milan.
adidas Go-To Twistknit Women's Tennis Dress: The roof is fine, I guess, if you like casually walking between marble spires on a cathedral whose construction started in 1386. There are 135 spires, not that I was impressed or counting or whatever.
adidas Go-To Twistknit Women's Tennis Dress: This mall is fine, I guess, just a 19th-century iron-and-glass arcade designed by Giuseppe Mengoni and named for Italy’s first king. Totally normal place to look athletic and accidentally historically informed.
adidas Go-To Twistknit Women's Tennis Dress: Santa Maria delle Grazie is fine, I guess, except Leonardo painted The Last Supper on the refectory wall there between 1495 and 1498. Anyway, I definitely did not just make a tennis dress sound like it has an art-history minor.
adidas Go-To Twistknit Women's Tennis Dress: The Navigli are fine, I guess, if old cargo canals that moved goods into Milan are your thing. The canal system even helped bring marble for the Duomo, which is annoyingly cool and I hate that I know that.
It's a dress. It's fine. I guess if you want the actual thing about it, the stretch isn't elastane, which is sort of the point of the whole TWISTKNIT thing — adidas twists the yarn so the thread works like a spring and gives you the stretch on its own, no rubber involved. So it moves when you move.
There are shorts built into it, which is the only reason a tennis dress is ever actually wearable, because you can bend and twist and get down for a low ball without the entire garment becoming a situation. It's got ball pockets. It wicks. That's the list.
I'm not going to tell you the fabric percentages because I couldn't get them. The page wouldn't load. Everyone else will just make something up, and honestly? So: no number. You'll live.
Making up a number is worse than not having one.
Milan is fine. It's fine. Okay, so, the Duomo roof — you can actually walk out on the terraces between the marble spires, which took about six hundred years to finish, and the marble came in by canal from Candoglia because there was no other way to move stone that heavy, and the canals we're going to at Porta Ticinese later, the Navigli with the towpaths? Those canals.
That's not a coincidence, that's the actual causal chain, the boats came first. Anyway. The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is under this iron and glass dome and the guy who designed it, Mengoni, fell off the scaffolding a few days before the opening, which is bleak.
The cathedral is made of marble because of those canals.
And Santa Maria delle Grazie has the Last Supper across one refectory wall and it started falling apart almost immediately because Leonardo painted it dry on plaster instead of doing it as a proper fresco, so it's basically been in restoration for five centuries because he wanted to be able to go back and fix things. Which, relatable.
Sorry. That was a lot. I don't even like history.
"The cathedral is marble because of the canals. The boats came first. Whatever, it's just a fact."
Anyway, wear the dress. It's good. Don't make it weird.
