* In the ''Literature/TimeWarpTrio'' book about cavemen, the Trio arrive in the past and immediately notice is that [[NakedOnArrival they're naked]], save for Fred keeping his baseball hat and Sam's NerdGlasses. They tried to take a bunch of modern stuff back with them this time, and apparently ''[[AppliedPhlebotinum The Book]]'' decided that you CantTakeAnythingWithYou if you're gonna be a twerp about it. While Fred just wants to hide behind a bush until they can go home, Sam fashions the three some rudimentary clothing out of large leaves.

This trope is almost AlwaysFemale with only rare male exceptions like PeterPan. It may be to reinforce that women are CloserToEarth by dressing them in plants to make MotherNature / Nature Spirit / Dryad /Fairy connotations. Then again, this trope is also a good excuse for FanService-y CostumePorn, regardless of gender.

PetalPower. Contrast with ClothingAppendage, which covers cases where a PlantPerson grows "clothes" from its own body; the boundary between that trope and this one can occasionally get blurry.
