Nike have recalled the tennis dresses due to be used by their female players at Wimbledon after complaints that the skimpy outfits reveal too much flesh.
The manufacturers asked those who wear their apparel — at least 20 players in the main women's draw — to send them back for alterations days ahead of The Championships.
Players complained that the £75 'Nike Premier Slam' dress flies up above the waistline and hampers their play.

Boulter, 19, was forced to secure her Nike dress with elastic for her match at Roehampton on Wednesday
In this week's qualifying event at Roehampton, GB prospect Katie Boulter, 19, wore a belt improvised from a hairband to keep her dress in place. Czech Lucie Hradecka, 31, wore knee-length leggings underneath.
Wimbledon passed the design because it complies with their white kit rules.
Nike told their players to bring the dresses to their rented house close to the All England Club for alterations.
