In season 3, a new actress, Patrica Driscoll, took over the part of "Maid Marion" and what's interesting is that when she would visit Robin and his men in Sherwood Forest she would wear a "woodland" outfit that consisted of tights and a shirt/doublet.
The shirt was rather short and surprisingly, Ms. Driscoll was showing a lot of leg for a Brit TV show produced in the late 1950's.
In some cases, her shirt was so short her nyloned ass was hanging out.
What's also interesting is that the actress is plainly uncomfortable with her costume. Several times in several episodes you can see her trying to tug her shirt down in an attempt to make it longer. It's subtle but noticeable. It usually happens when she stand up or leans over over-- you see her hand behind her tugging on the material to bring it down.
Anyway, here are some episodes of note-- they are easy to find on YouTube:
Season 3 Episode 36: "Women's War" about the 6:45 mark
Season 4 Episode 25 "Double Trouble" about the 4:10 mark
Season 4 Episode 17 "Parting Guest" about the 17:00 minute mark
Season 3 Episode 11 "The Bride of Robin Hood" around the 4:20 mark (not Patrica Driscoll but a guest star)

Loved seeing this again after so many years, and certainly great nostalgia appeal. And Le Driscoll looked stunning - but I didn't see much evidence of her looking embarrassed or trying to adjust herself. She seemed perfectly at home in the ultra micro "dress!"
