I swear I remember reading a magazine back in the day, either before the movie was out or shortly after, talking about all the outfits “Queen Amidala” wore and that they were there “to give the girls in the audience something to look at.”
They phrased it in such a way that made it sound like they were explaining the occasional monster truck that drove through the set of a rom-com. “To give the men who were dragged here something to look at.”
Fisher explained that Lucas informed her, “In space you get weightless, and so your flesh expands.” In this scenario, he was convinced that a bra wouldn’t expand along with the skin. So, in the end, a woman like Leia could wind up being strangled by her own brassiere.

I 100% clicked on that link expecting it to be a TVTropes rabbit hole… I’m actually a little disappointed.
Does this scratch that itch?
Or perhaps this?

There would be fewer VHS copies of Star Wars which mysteriously wore out at the trash compactor scene.
Visible panty lines.
