I think Psylockes sleeves were more ballooning than merely puffy like Shadowcats. I’m no fashion guru but I’m not sure it would make do. And ugh she had those sashes coming off her sleeves and something off the shoulder that looked more suited for She-Ra.

I hope those who want a figure of that look get it one day but it’s one of my least favorite “costumes” ever. For any character much less my favorite character

I think it was to serve a purpose. It was "soft" in appearance but Betsy wanted to be a "hardened warrior" to the team.
The armor Wolverine provided her gave her that appearance to match her inner fortitude.


Then she went through the transformation and was a warrior all the way around. Personally Im a big fan of the original Betsy. I always thought she was just British Betsy with her features manipulated to look Asian by "The Body Shoppe"
And her mind warped by the Hand. I know that was Claremonts intention(he told me personally)

So the costumes were always story elements in some way.

Im not reading X-Men anymore so in my mind it's all a convoluted mess. I know Betsy and Kwannon are separated now but that's all I know.
