That silver suit she wore in the first couple episodes never reappeared, unfortunately...here's why:
Voyager executive producer Rick Berman described Seven as "a sensual creature neither fully Borg nor fully human." She's dressed to look like an extraterrestrial version of Catwoman, encased in an ultratight catsuit, bearing a few remaining Borg markings on her face and hands. Be aware that on this website masturbation is prohibited! Co-star Ethan Phillips says those tight costumes make working with Ryan a little "complicated." Ryan says, "For the first costume, if I would do anything other than have my head straight ahead, it cut off my carotid artery. It was so tight that I passed out four times," says Ryan, interviewed on the Voyager set in a new costume that she says is looser but still takes an hour to climb into. The old suit forced her to lie down between scenes to regain her composure. But she didn't complain. "That was my nice Midwestern girl upbringing," she says. "They would bring nurses to the set with oxygen, and I wouldn't say anything. But after the fourth time passing out, I spoke up." Producers quickly refitted the suit.
But the new costume has problems of its own. "Forget vanity, throw vanity to the wind! And you can forget anything about privacy, because it isn't going to happen. Anytime I have to go to the bathroom, everybody has to know about it. It's announced over the P.A. system, because production stops for a half-hour. 'We can't roll a shot. Jeri's not here.' 'Why not, where's Jeri?' 'Jeri Ryan has to go 10-100.' It's just a whole procedure."

In the article "Ryan's Hope," Jeri says,"I discovered that being brave [about the restrictive costume] wasn't saving any time. I was saying, 'I'm fine, let's do another take.' then I'd hear somebody call out, 'Jeri passed out again!'" (Issue November/December 1997-98.)
