If you did not get to see this exhibition in person or want to relive it! Sporting Fashion: Outdoor Girls 1800-1960 exhibit hosted by the Taft Museum of Art in Cincinnati, Ohio. This exhibit is billed as “The first… to explore the evolution of women’s sporting attire in Western fashion over this 160-year period, drawn from the exceptional collections of the FIDM Museum at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising, Los Angeles.” I focus more on the nineteenth century outfits, but you’ll get plenty of glimpses of twentieth century pretties! I wore my me-made 1870s tennis dress and hat for the occasion but did not take in my pink tennis racket for safety reasons. Tobogganing, ice skating, picnicking, gardening, promenading, walking, horseback riding, inline skating, bicycling, basketball, calisthenics, tennis, archery, cricket, golf, croquet, and more! Regency, 1820s, 1830s, Victorian, Edwardian. Lots of 1890s, my favorite!
