The very last scene in Encounter at Farpoint, Yar is also wearing the minidress uniform, AFAIK it’s the only scene with her in it. The camera zooms in from about where it is above into a close-up of Picard, and Denise Crosby very pointedly steps out of shot partway through.
I have to wonder if that scene wasn’t the first shot actually filmed, if they weren’t planning on just, having all the women in crotch-length miniskirts until they had a couple shots in the can.

The very first scene also has a man in the minidress uniform, I guess to show equality.
edit: Oh, this was mentioned a lot further down.
