Well, Jeri Ryan's clothing as Seven of Nine wasn't exactly modest. At least in Next Gen, they moved Marina Sirtis as Troi into something a little less silly than the "Galactic Cheerleader" outfit they had her in in the pilot.
Denise Crosby was just awful as Tasha Yar. It's too bad as she is overall a good actress. Have to say I was pleased at the time, when they killed off Tasha. (I think Crosby hated the role.) She was so much better when she came back for a few episodes with an entirely different personality to play. They say that when originally hired Crosby was supposed to be the ship's counselor and Sirtis the head of security and that it was Roddenberry who switched the two. I think Sirtis with her real-life, forward personality would have been better in the security role and we might have had an empowering Buffy-like character a half generation earlier!
