Wimbledon wardrobe controversy

Women's outfit "too skimpy"

Nike has recalled tennis dresses that were to be used by female players at Wimbledon following complaints that the outfits revealed too much flesh.

With complaints received from female players regarding the dresses flying up above the waistline and hindering their play, Nike has been left with no option but to make alterations ahead of the tournament.

Although the designs were passed by the organizers at the All-England Club, the furor surrounding the dresses has resulted in Nike tennis stars becoming creative in altering the outfits themselves.

The dress features a "baby doll" style and some players complained it was "too skimpy." Even defending Wimbledon champion Serena Williams, Nike's highest-profile client, will wear a slightly adapted version when she plays.
