On Doctor Who and Companions' Clothing

I have noted Amy is fairly modest by the standards of her agegroup and theoretical weather expectations. I have noticed this because I can always tell she's wearing something on her lower half, and quite a lot often on people wandering around outside that's by no means apparent. The current definition of 'dress' seems to me to fit my idea of 'shirt', but *big shrugs*.
Doctor Who can give you a lovely tour through fashions past. Some of it needs new colors but you get some really great scientist miniskirts going on, or warrior woman mini everythings, or sparkly suits. I like the sparkly. If I was making Doctor Who I'd make there be futuristic sparklies again, because you don't get enough chances to have that much clothes fun.
I think the important bits in not treating women like things don't really have much to do with making sure you can't see bits of them. They do have a lot to do with making sure that seeing them isn't the only point for them being there, and I think Doctor Who has that covered.
