Heck, check out the original Star Trek Series, women wore short skirts and tight tops emphasizing their busts -- often used as love interests for Kirk. Otherwise they had no role.
Have you ever seen the pilot that Roddenberry made to originally pitch the networks? His second in command wasn't Spock, it was a woman, and she (and other women on the crew) wore pants, not skirts. NBC picked it up for production, as you know, but the brass hated the women's clothing in the pilot, and insisted on the change to the miniskirts.
