I very much doubt Kara had any say in what she wore at all. There were certainly moments where she appeared to be uncomfortable but putting a brave face on it.
It is very clear that wardrobe has been issued with an edict from new executive producer Moira Ross to go as OTT as possible. The cheese factor has gone through the roof, but portraying Kara as a maneater (and that's putting it politely) is a step too far. Unless it's remedied, it will backfire on Ms Ross and damage the chances of one of this year's strongest contenders. (Curiously, I made this same point on a posting to the BBC blog but it was removed: maybe Ms Ross doesn't like to be criticised?


).
Kara obviously had to go along with what she was told to do - just as any employee in a new job does what the boss says - but I hope she speaks up for herself in future. While some aspects of the show are undoubtedly improved, wardrobe is not one of them (nor is the music chosen for the cha cha cha).
