Sorry, for the quality. It was the only screenshot I’ve found. In this shot from “Man of the People”, you can clearly see the dress/nightgown Marina Sirtis is wearing is highlighting her nipples.
FYI, Sirtis has stated in interview(s?) that she was aware that she was the sex symbol for the show.
Poor woman I remember in one interview she mentioned the outfit they gave her (up until Jellico made Troi start wearing a uniform) was so fitted that she couldn’t gain a single pound.
She was in a couple Cannon company explotation films in her early career. She has thanked the show for getting her out of that explicitly abusive part of the industry.
In the first season she was the only member of the main cast who wore the minidress variant of the uniform. Like they tried to bring forward the gogo dresses that Uhura, Rand and Chapel wore in TOS, and in an attempt by a Silent Generation geezer to be progressive and/or justify Marina Sirtis having her legs out, they had a few male extras wear the minidress uniform in the background as well.
Second to ~5th season she wore a collection of spandex jumpsuits, ranging from lilac to maroon but I also remember a green one that had kind of a flowy skirt to it. Then they used the whole THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS episode as an excuse to have her wear a uniform. Sirtis was pushing for Troi to wear a standard Starfleet uniform, and having Captain Jellico awkwardly order her to was how they solved the problem in-universe.
I personally would have either written her as a civilian contractor, putting her in the same community as Keiko, Guinan or Mott, OR I would have put her in a uniform with a coat like Dr. Crusher since Troi was the ship’s psychologist, we don’t really see this but she should report to Crusher the way Barkley reports to LaForge.

I feel like what they did with Jerri Ryan was worse. At least for Deanna, it was in character.
Seven was a well-written character, but the wardrobe choices still infuriated me. That is probably one thing PIC got right.
Yeah from Both Drone to Socially Awkward Catsuit Lady seemed silly. Especially in a show with powerful women (e.g. as captain and as chief engineer).
Once again: Jellico was the hero the Enterprise needed, not the one it wanted.

They made her wear a unique low-cut purple spandex suit for the first half of the series.

I’ll be honest, I never saw the appeal. I enjoyed her character interactions, but she was not my thing.
Right? Like not green skinned enough.
A forehead ridge hits the spot.
I wonder if any actresses were ever unaware of that role when they played it?
