Tennis ace Maria Sharapova has revealed that she helps in designing the outfits she wears on the tennis court and now those are available for the public.

“The things that I wear on court are actually available for people to buy. I’ve got a chance to help design the dresses and the two piece outfits and that’s been really fun, because it’s something that’s really creative. I’ve been interested in it since I was pretty young,” femalefirst.co.uk quoted Sharapova as saying.

The 23-year-old admits that creating outfits for other people was a challenge for her.

“When the dresses were just made for me, we could do things that were a little bit more extreme and work with different materials. Now it’s for people to buy, it’s from a little bit of a different perspective because you’re making clothes for the public and not just yourself, which is a different process but it’s just as fun,” she said.
