Elizabeth Olsen is a very pretty woman, but can you imagine what she would have looked like had she stepped into the battle of Sokovia looking the way she does in the comic book? As beautiful as she is, there is no material on Earth that could fit her body and support it in the physics defying manner that Wanda's does in the comic and would actually allow her to "do stuff" other than stand there and look pretty. It just wouldn't have worked (and let's not use Olivia Munn's Psylocke as a comparison, because A. It's an apples and oranges comparison, and B. Hollywood took a lot of liberties with that one as well, adding armor plating and such because the suit itself was a just a latex bodysuit produced by a sex shop, and was notoriously hard to work with if the cast and crew testimony had anything to say about it.) On top of that...the media/feminist/social justice warriors would have a field day with it, and that in itself is a headache that most studios don't want to deal with.

I get that it's a film, and there should be some level to suspension of disbelief, but in the case of an outfit like that, you're really asking a lot of your audience. Granted, Hollywood sometimes tinkers a bit TOO MUCH in these these when worrying about the right look, and coupled with director vision and all of that, it becomes a really fine line. Sometimes you end up with something that looks great like a Spidey in ASM2, Spawn or Deadpool, and other times, you end up with Vinnie Jones wearing a fake hairy chest.

Technically wandas "street clothers" were a costume, as was quicksilvers ( despiteblooking very underarmor-ish haha) and there was definitely a costumed feel to her civil war outfit ( and there was a nice bit o top boob without being comic top boob ) to boot.

heehee
