Larger flight attendants denied "sexy" uniform

(14 July 2009)

Delta Air Lines is being criticised for not making its striking red dress uniform available to its larger female flight attendants.

The Association of Flight Attendants have complained to the airline because the signature Delta outfit, which was designed by Richard Tyler, does not go beyond a size 18 (UK size 20).

On being hired to makeover Delta's previously grey and conservative uniform, Mr Tyler said he wanted to create something to make the flight attendants "look sexy and great".

Delta offers a range of other uniform styles up to a size 28.
