It fits a whole lot better than any of the other suggestions that I've seen.

A claim given reserach credence as the makers of the program made as creditable an attempt to portray Minonian female formal costume as the constraints of 70s BBC Childrens Programming would allow. (basically 2-3" of material added to the ..er, neckline)
