Saavik out of uniform

kitsune

Captain
In the novelization of Star Trek II, did they explain what this outfit was for?

In the TMP novelization, the second V'ger probe took Ilia's form, cooled itself in her sonic shower, and was then dressed by Kirk with a "spray 'n' wear" Starfleet leisure robe. Publicity material explained that Ilia's robe was modified with a Deltan collar, just as Spock wore a Vulcan collar under his uniform.

Saavik is wearing the same style of robe as Ilia's, but without the Deltan collar. It's also a similar style to the uniforms worn by the crew of TMP's Epsilon 9 station. So, Saavik is off duty in that elevator scene.
 
I find it amusing to think that Ilia accidentally wasn't wearing pants, but none of the male crew bothered to correct her mistake :)

Kirk: "Uh... No pants is a normal function."
Ilia Probe: "You may proceed."
Kirk: "psst... Bones. Don't forget the stiletto pumps."
McCoy "What am I, a doctor or a fashion designer? Oh... right. Good call Jim."
 
Well, earlier in the movie he'd had such a difficult time getting Spock to sit down, so he gave up on telling people to do that.

See, I'd noticed that too, but concluded that Saavik had just come out of the shower. :lol:
 
No offense, but she's broad-shouldered-and-narrow-hip-proportioned like a teenage boy in that photo.
