** Lightning's new outfit in ''FinalFantasyXIII-2'' has a skirt of feathers.

* Shows up in, of all places, ''MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' when Pinkie Pie puts on a show for the Buffalo and Apple-loosans. Fan reaction was predictable.

* All ''over'' the place in the designs for ''DissidiaFinalFantasy'' -- and they're all ''male'', to boot: Warrior Of Light, The Emperor, Onion Knight, Squall Leonhart, Sephiroth, Kuja, and even ''Jecht.'' Most of them are at least wearing pants as well - unfortunately (or [[YMMV fortunately]] ), that doesn't include Kuja.

* The fairy familiar in ''{{Castlevania}} Symphony of the Night''.

* ''{{ReBoot}}'': Hexadecimal trades in her cape for one of these when she assumes her [[spoiler: Sprite]] form in Season 4.

* Vanille in ''FinalFantasyXIII'' wears a [[PrettyInMink brown fur]] version.

[[AC:RealLife]]
* Named for Vegas {{Showgirl}}s, who often wear this skirt.
* [[http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3153/2858518689_67cd52e5c1_o.jpg This picture]] of MarilynMonroe. It's just not as obvious unless you can tear your eyes away from the FurBikini.
* Child pageants will even have this, among other questionable costumes.
* If anyone has ever seen Northmead High School perform at Rock Eisteddfod...
* At least 2/3 of the female performers/background-singers at 2010's Eurovision Song Contest wore these.

* The [[http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/index.php?title=Courtesans&image=Assassins-creed-ii-20090923115453941_640w-jpg skirts worn by courtesans]] in ''AssassinsCreed II'' and ''Brotherhood'' provide more coverage than most, and might just be an exceptionally risqué period dress but for a triangular cut out in front. It starts at half the width of the dress on the ground and ends just above the young lady's... designated sales region.

* One of [[CardcaptorSakura Sakura's]] customs has this.

* Miss Kitty the Showgirl Mouse in TheGreatMouseDetective wears one of these during the "Let Me Be Good to You" musical number..in a animated Disney Movie no less.

* Kahlan's supposedly practical traveling clothes in LegendOfTheSeeker have one.

* All ''over'' the place in the designs for ''DissidiaFinalFantasy''--and they're all male, to boot: Warrior Of Light, The Emperor, Onion Knight, Squall Leonhart, Kuja, and even ''Jecht.''
* FinalFantasyX2 has the Gunner Class/Job/Dresssphere which features this. It's also Yuna's default outfit.
* Vanille in ''FinalFantasyXIII'' wears a [[PrettyInMink brown fur Skirt]].
* Maria Traydor of StarOceanTillTheEndOfTime wears one of these, although the effect is closer to a BadassLongcoat.

* Bizarrely, most of the waist options for armor in NeverwinterNights work out to these. Armored skirts in general make some sense (it's easier than fitting armor to the hips, joints and all), but you'd think at least one armorer in the whole game would think to extend them around front...

* Saika Magoichi of ''SengokuBasara 3''.

* Some of Cassandra's costumes in [[SoulSeries Soul Calibur]]have this.

** Mesmers in ''GuildWars'' are especially in love with this trope. Close to half of the female Mesmer armor sets consist of what would be an ankle-length, A-line dress or coat were it not cut to reveal a miniskirt beneath and show almost the entire leg. Elementalists and Necromancers also partake liberally of this trope (with [[http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/File:Elementalist_Elite_Luxon_armor_f.jpg Elementalist Elite Luxon armor]] being a particularly egregious offender).

* [[spoiler:Metal Sonic]] wears one in ''SonicHeroes'', though it's probably meant to be a cape attached at the waist rather than the shoulders.

* Maria Traydor of StarOceanTillTheEndOfTime wears one of these, although the effect is closer to a BadAssLongCoat

* Miss Kitty the Showgirl Mouse in TheGreatMouseDetective wears one of these during the "Let Me Be Good For You" musical number..in a animated Disney Movie no less.

** Bit of [[Fridge Brilliance]] in that one, if you think about it; armored clothing would be heavy and unwieldy even in the lightest of circumstances. Imagine having your legs wrapped up in metal-plated leather. You won't be beating much more than a hasty (and clumsy) retreat if you can't lift your legs.
