Nisam videla kako izgleda s ledja ova "haljina"
Out on court, Venus was dressed in the latest of her "Eleven" range, a delicate little number that sent the pundits into a bit of a flap. What exactly was she wearing? How to describe it? According to m'learned colleague from this very website - an expert who knows a thing or two about flash threads - it was a "playsuit". Apparently, "playsuits look great night or day, dressed up or down" according to a well-known British retailer.
Venus's description led to further complications. The language barrier between American English and English English can be huge and when she called her ensemble a "jumper", the locals looked confused. Across the pond, a "jumper" is an all-in-one garment like a romper suits for grown-ups. Over here, that would be called a romper suit for grown-ups.
"It's a jumper. Jumpers are very now, as is lace," Venus explained as the British media conjured images of cable-knit woolly-pullies. No, clearly this was not right. Whatever she was wearing, it was the subject of some discussion.
"The shoulders have a lot of draping, which is also in the moment," Venus went on. "It's just kind of like a trendy dress. It's fun. I'm really into zippers, so it has like a focal point of a zipper in the front. It's just fun. The back is like a cut-out or like a peek‑a‑boo. I'm always trying to do something different and fun. But more lately now I'm really trending towards simplicity. I'm not sure why. It's just how I feel right now. Everything is getting more simple."
