White sheet or towel, or perhaps a dress she hasn't put on. Seems they like doing this to Mrs Peel, it happens again in From Venus with Love.

Worn in The Danger Makers

black and white hipster pant outfit.

The white blouse is sleeveless and a low-cut v-neck, with a thick black neckline reaching to the hem at the belly, and piping each arm, it zips up the back.
The black pants have large white turn-ups, and are worn with a thick white belt and Edward Rayne's black and white boots.

Worn in The Danger Makers ("Show him your bumps!")

White collared blouse, with multiple layers of diagonally cut cloth across the breast.

The rest of the outfit is not visible.

The body of the dress is black, with a plain neck, and either a zip or concealed buttons to fasten down the front, with three thick white hoops near the hem, the sleeves white with three black stripes at the cuff.

He wears a black skivvy with dark trousers
She wears her rollneck blouse with the loose cuffs, Edward Rayne's black and white boots and hipster pants which I strongly suspect to be orange (on the evidence of other promotional pictures).

She wears a straight white cotton dress with long sleeves and blue and green embroidery.

The embroidery is around the deep neckline (see at right for detail) and descends along the forearms from the cuff. The dress is knee-length and waistless, and worn with flat white shoes.

She wears a Regency period costume in beige, brown and green. Obviously a costume rather than a reproduction, as it zips up the back.
She carries a velvet purse.

The jacket is chestnut, with wide lapels and knee-length skirt. It is worn with a white shirt with loose sleeves plain collar and frilled cuffs, a simple white cravat tied in a bow, high-waisted beige trousers and a waistcoat with a fleur-de-lys pattern. A gold-rimmed monocle hangs on a chain from the waistcoat. He wears calf-length black boots to finish the ensemble.

She wears her most famous outfit - the Queen of Sin costume.

Initially, all we see is a long black cloak and bindis over the eyes (near right and bottom right).
The cloak is then stripped away to reveal the full costume:
A black corset laced tightly up the back. The corset is straight across the breast and embroidered on all the panels, it has a black lace skirt of some four or five inches length which fails to conceal anything - it just reaches the top of the thighs. It is worn with black satin bikini briefs.
This is complemented by a spiked leather collar, complete with silver leash (Mrs Peel hold the end of it herself most of the time), and high stiletto heeled boots which also lace up the back, to match the corset. More pictures of this outfit are here.

Worn in A Touch of Brimstone

Royal Navy Commander's uniform, including the big bushy beard and moustache.

Worn in What the Butler Saw

British Army Major's uniform, from a tank regiment, including the neatly clipped moustache.
This is obviously why he gets on with Major General Goddard - they're both ostensibly from cavalry backgrounds.
