* In an example involving rhythmic gymnastics costumes, Saeko Mitaka and Itsuko Godai, two of the Cures in ''FanFic/RhythmicPrettyCure'', wear tutus with their RG uniforms (and, in Saeko's case, with her Cure costume). Apart from the fact that it's a violation of RSG standards, there's also practicality issues involved, particularly since Saeko's apparatus of choice is the ball. Plus, even the one Cure that you wouldn't expect to fall foul of this on account of her costume (specifically, she's the only one to eschew a skirt in favor of shorts) does so on account of her twintail-tied hair alone.

* ''Anime/GoPrincessPrettyCure'' has Cure Flora's costume as a mini-dressed ballgown variant, which incorporates a GiantWaistRibbon reaching almost to her feet and boots with giant flaps coming from both sides.

%%* ''Anime/SailorMoon'': Senshi outfits are this trope, plus CombatStilettos and GiantWaistRibbon.

** [[DanceBattler Pearl]] is largely a subversion, as her primary outfit keeps both her hair and skirt too short to tangle. However, her second outfit adds in a knee-length GiantWaistRibbon.

** {{Deuteragonist}} Rue's costume as evil seductive Princess Kraehe is [[EvilWearsBlack black]] with a bodice that [[SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains has barely enough cloth]] for an AbsoluteCleavage and [[VaporWear nothing]], ''nothing'' else yet it somehow stays in place as if glued to the skin. Now you ''can'' achieve the same look on an RL ballet stage but it'll need one, an experienced costumer to work a small miracle with skin-coloured ("invisible") fabric and two, a very, eh, "modern" production to be allowed in the first place.

* ''Toys/{{Barbie}}'' films that feature the titular heroine as a ballerina (''WesternAnimation/BarbieInTheNutcracker'', ''WesternAnimation/BarbieOfSwanLake'', ''WesternAnimation/BarbieInTheTwelveDancingPrincesses'', ''WesternAnimation/BarbieInThePinkShoes'') are usually pretty good at sensible costume design...except for the hair, which is ''always'' left [[LongHairIsFeminine long and loose]]. Some of Kristyn's costumes, such as Giselle and Odette, in ''Pink Shoes'' avoid this and do have her hair in a bun, but her main outfit (the one in all the merchandising) doesn't.

[[caption-width-right:300:Perfectly fine for an arabesque, but she's liable to twist her ankle in a costume like that, if the hair doesn't trip her first!]]
