Why did Seven keep wearing the catsuit?

Sex sells!
I'd say it doesn't have much to do with sex at all; my girlfriend wears something similar now and then, and it's no different then any other outfits she has. I think Seven's outfit being a normal civilian outfit in Trek makes quote a lot of sense -- I'd hardly expect women to wear boring pants; they're supposed to be equal, not sexually oppressed.
Men in the future (TNG Season One at least) wear mini skirts.
Why is it that the first trek lad I want to see in one of things is the Sisko?
He'd have to wrap his diddle around his waist like a belt so it didn't slap against his knees while he was pontificating righteousness against the DQ baddies or Dukat, and some how I think he'd win more with the fisticuffs because the weekly big bad would be walking backwards away the emissaries intermittently exposed Junk as he was winding up his haymaker baring down on his foes.
Sex sells.
Voyager didn't sell sex.
Struggle as I might, and I usually don't have to struggle at all to find sex, I just barely saw any of the cast of Voyager as sexual beings, and nothing else they did or said in the course of Seven years helped their case in any way.

Actually I had the episode wrong. It's "Hope and Fear". You can see the wiring in her arm in one of the photos here:

Now one can assume that by Q2 enough skin would have grown to cover up the wiring that was showing through...
As for scarring being disturbing we all have scars. Even the air-brushed models on magazine covers have scars and blemishes. That's perfectly normal.
Oh, but they tried, I remember a few shots of a standing Seven talking to a seated Janeway filmed at an angle where all we see of Seven is her well placed boob in profile next to Janeways talking head... no matter what the Captain was babblin' on with, all I was thinking about was that tit.
Because of the young male viewers TPTB tought were the main audience of Voyager.
Okay, kidding aside,
What kidding? You're right. It's the same answer as to why T'Pol wore a catsuit.
You should get a girlfriend then, problem solved.
That's just nostalgia for breast feeding from when you were a buhbuh, like with everyone else. Two boobies the size of your head on call twenty four seven? Which is more about an eating disorder than a sexual disorder if we want to be plain clear about it, since what should really have us thinking about what was feeding us all in the beginning is more a macDonalds soft serve ice cream dispencing machine, but objectifelia is for another days lessons, but that's why we like large breasts, because they seem proportionately about the right size from when our heads were about the size of manderins and dinnertime lasted half the day.
Right, cuz as soon as you get into a healthy relationship, you TOTALLY stop thinking about tits... genius !!!
No, but fortunately, they won't cloud your attention so much seeing as there are tits right beside you when you're watching Star Trek.

I for one never found her all that attractive, but she was a great character/actor and these facts I appreciated. As a combination of these ideas, it irritates me sometimes to see that apparently she is remembered mostly for being sexy. There are far greater and better reasons she should be memorable.

Not sure how my judgement was clouded... but thanks for all your well wishes.
What if her boobs were detachable and floated about the room?
Which would be confusing during a game of velocity.

I don't dispute this, but I felt I should say something. I'm a heterosexual teenage male, and I roll my eyes whenever I hear people saying that we watch shows for women in catsuits. It strikes me as rather offensive, both to us and the women. There are far better reasons for watching Seven and T'Pol- they're fascinating characters portrayed by skilled actors. The whole young-men-are-sex-crazed idea really should be retired...
O.
Maybe it's because the Doctor kept making her new ones?
By the time she'd figured out she could replicate anything in the world she wanted to wear to wear, she'd glommed onto the social contract and was obligated not to offend the Doctors artificial feelings for undue course.
Like how your aunt Patty keeps making you those awful Christmas cakes, you have to at least try eating, if you're not saving enough of them to build a tension wall in your garden.
No Borg would dare have two wardrobes.

I wasn't paying attention, I meant your attention was clouded. Anyhow, never mind.
I just mentioned this in one of the other threads, but I think breaking the fourth wall was a big problem. For me, the effect of Seven was like watching a regular Star Trek episode and then suddenly having this bimbo from a model magazine show up in the middle of the story. It was very frustrating. Plus B'Elanna Torres was a lot hotter.
