McCartney took inspiration from vintage white lingerie for her Wimbledon dresses -- the All-England Lawn Tennis Club has a strict all-white dress code for players.

McCartney, seen here with her husband Alasdhair Willis at the 2014 Wimbledon championships enjoys playing tennis too. "I have a mean forehand, but a terrible, terrible backhand," she told CNN.

Wozniacki, seen here at the 2016 US Open in New York, has been a long-time wearer of McCartney's tennis dresses. "I have a very deep connection with Caroline -- we've worked together for so long," McCartney said.

"I've had a lot of positive feedback but it's normally around how feminine and sensual they feel -- I think it's a difficult thing being a woman in a man's world in sport," McCartney said.

McCartney is also keen for amateur tennis players to wear her kit which is produced in collaboration with German sports wear manufacturer Adidas. "I get a lot of feedback saying they think they are wearing the best tennis gear available in the marketplace for sure, which I'm very proud of," McCartney said.

"Before I started I don't think there was quite so much availability of embroideries, prints or mixing colors," McCartney said. "I think it was perhaps a little bit more old fashioned in its approach."
