They pretty much put Jeri Ryan to catsuit just for pure eye candy without any in universe explanation.

You can't tell me what to do.

I think the flimsy excuse they had originally was that it was helping her heal after the implants were removed.

Whatever the case about when they should have done it, Jeri Ryan was fitted for a standard uniform for "Relativity". So why didn't Seven officially get one from Janeway before the end of the episode?

i was always under the impression that it was because she had no skin from the neck down.

The uniform was very flattering for her, too. Much more so than the stupid catsuit ever was. Not sure what Berman and Braga were thinking with any of this.

Most likely they weren't thinking with they head but with they lower halfs.

I'm too tired to not at least appreciate Ryan agreeing on some level to do this. I can't really make enough sense to justify it with consideration to objectification, but I feel that I respect Seven as a person enough to look past it, even if on a HK level.

A note about the miniskirts - they were symbols of female empowerment in the 1960s. They made more sense then it seems now in our sex negative culture.
If anything it's the reboot that makes f all sense.
