Sam wears regulation clothing. pants, tops, boots. I think the only thing non-reg that she wore regularly was that damned tank top in s7 (i see male producers interjecting their 'input' in that wardrobe decision)
while Vala's costumes were -at best - approximate copies of regulation uniforms, usually tailored to fit her close.
Her hop hugger pants, her flare bottomed pants, her tight t-shirt, her close cut jacket (notice that sam's uniform jacket has decidedly larger sleeves...what you get when you're wearing something that's made to either fit males or be unisex in its fit.
Shanks once described Claudia as 'bony' (not one of his finer moments) however it does suggest that she's very skinny, and seems to prefer clothing to accentuate that, so her more closely tailored clothes.
the regulation patch that you see on sam's arm, 3-4 inches i think, literally would not fit on vala's sleeve, not without wrapping around it.
Honestly, I'd put the tank on Sci-Fi, not B@B, otherwise it would have happened sooner after Jonathan Glassner left. But, eh, it's all speculation. I do think the slmaller size was because of the tiny, tiny bones under the uniform. Though I like Hedwig's suggestion too.sigpicMourning Sanctuary.
Thanks for the good times!

However, I can see some of the motivation coming from not wanting her to look like she is swimming in clothing. But I say its the sex appeal more.

I can answer this from my own military experience. It's because that's the standard for the women's uniform. If you look closely in the same screencap that's provided in this thread, you'll notice that's Sam's patches are smaller, too. The sleeves on a woman's uniform are made smaller than on the men's, and the full-size patches don't sit right on them (they don't even fit on the sleeve in the smaller sizes!), so they make the patches smaller, too.

I haven't read this whole thread so I don't know if this was brought up but... in the AF, there are different size patches. Men's and women's. The women's patches are smaller in size. A female can either wear the male or female size patch. It's up to them and depends normally on their body size as which to wear.
