Cathay Pacific has redesigned its new uniforms for flight attendants after staff complained the outfits were too revealing.
The new look - to be introduced on October 23 - was altered so women did not risk flashing too much leg or having passengers peer up their blouses, the company said yesterday.
Inflight services development manager Rick Lang said 'constructive input' from the 100 staff who tried out the uniforms led to adjustments, but the overall look was unchanged.
Cabin crew had described the new design, which replaces the Nina Ricci uniforms used for 10 years, as ugly and too sexy.
Mr Lang said skirt waistbands were now higher and blouses were longer, so passengers would not be able to see a flight attendant's bra when she reached up to use overhead lockers.
Short wrap-around skirts have been modified so less leg is revealed when the women walk, and skirt lengths can be altered to fit the wearer's taste.
Staff wearing long skirts can choose how high they want the slits up the sides - ranging from mid-knee to mid-thigh.
