The skirt was created during Jean’s damsel in distress days (another reason why we are not fond of it). Now a days Jean uses her TK to keep the skirt under control and in emergencies her TP can also help. Wonder what Super Girl does?
First X-Lady
While I am not a fan of the minidress in the present I doubt Jean is worried about her underwear being seen when she’s flying. Her underwear is probably the same material as her dress anyway. I mean Suoergirl isn’t worried, and other X chicks have worn less in modern times such as Kwannon in a thong and the costume Storm wore before X-men red was basically a swimsuit with pretty woman thigh high boots. Just saying....
Anyway, I think the reason why Hickman purposely put her in that dress needs to be clearly revealed already. How many months has it been? I’m dying for a new costume that isn’t a repaint of a previously worn costume.
Tbf, the skirt was created after the "damsel-in-distress" days it was representative of the change in Jean similar to how Jean transformed into Phoenix. Back then she was able to affect Juggernaut through his helmet, hit Hulk with a psychic attack comparable to Professor X, and noted as having unlimited psionic abilities and that was all before the firebird started harassing her.
LOL...I honestly think that because you guys (and others across the internetz) made such a stink about it...HiX-Man has mandated that Jean wears her MG mini dress for as long as he's directing the X-books...just to see how long you all will continue to whine and moan over it. He's probably having so much fun right now.

He’s made no secret that he doesn’t care for X-Fans.
Note to self: never complain about the choices a writer makes for a beloved character.

Hickman faves are magneto, Emma, Monet, bob and sam, Sinister. He also realy likes Cyclops.
I don't think he cares about fan opinions, or even previous characterizations.
Anyway would be really not good keep a costume just to get some fans mad. Work on storytelling, not on getting fans mad
Funny enough there was a time that they put supergirl using skirts with shorts. I guess it was nick spencer or maybe the editor's idea
Got it, now I understand.

Percy is SO good for Jean. He fleshed out her view on life and death, and gave her interesting dialogue with characters like Magneto and Beast. This last issue did a lot with little space. Beast's claims that the humans are at the omega stage are in no way verified, and Jean knows it, but she also knows the risk of leaving them alive is too great in case Beast is right. So she's internally conflicted, kills the entities (maybe humans, maybe omegas), and then Beast treats her as someone who has come to her senses and unquestionably did the right thing. It's not that simple so Beast should #&%@ off.

This costume looks so much better than the Marvel Girl costume.
