I cannot believe they've made Princess of Mars into a Movie...the women are wearing too many clothes dammit! But it is being made by Disney so I guess the characters had to have clothes on. But its not Canon!!! =)
A classic adventure. The clothing consisted of bits of jeweled harness if memory serves. And that was probably only because a girl needs something to hang her dagger from.
Disney or not, no studio is going to make a movie that wants to shoot for summer-blockbuster status, where all the characters are naked all the time except for a few leather straps here and there. Maybe in another generation, but not now.
The cover artists for the books had the same problem, of course. Most of them fudged to the extent of putting a loincloth on the men and some strategic wisps of fabric on the women.
On the other hand, as some of Heinlein's characters once remarked, you might not want the family jewels just dangling in the breeze in the midst of a vigorous sword fight.
