16
17A neckline that is so low that the wearer seems to be one deep breath away from a WardrobeMalfunction (which almost never actually happens). Held up mostly by gravity and good posture. [[note]]And if that fails there's always double-sided sticky tape.[[/note]]
18
19The actual outfit is not important for this trope. It could be a [[WalkingSwimsuitScene bathing suit]], a SpyCatsuit, a MiniDressOfPower, a LeotardOfPower, a SexySantaDress, a halter top, T-shirt, or even a PimpedOutDress, FairytaleWeddingDress, or HappyHolidaysDress. All that matters is that its neckline seems to be held up by magic (or duct tape). This trope can even overlap with VictoriasSecretCompartment, though that will strain the viewers' WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief even further than it strains the fabric.
20
21This trope lends itself best to still images or animation, but it can be done in live-action. In RealLife, sleeveless bodices with gravity-defying decolletage are held in place by transparent straps or hidden adhesive. Another method is to sew strips of plastic or metal into the seams to make it rigid, resulting in a top that will stay up even when no one's in it.[[note]]Go on, get your 'boning' jokes in now.[[/note]]

31[[folder:Anime and Manga]]
32* The title character of ''Manga/BirdyTheMighty'''s uniform resembles a one-piece bathing suit with this included.
33* Ran Mao wears a kimono that hangs off her shoulders and reveals a lot of cleavage at the Trancy costume ball in episode 5 of season 2 of ''Anime/BlackButler2008''.
34* ''Manga/CallOfTheNight'': One night Yamori accompanies Mahiru as he delivers flowers to an establishment, where they are met by a woman with a ''very'' low-cut dress. [[CovertPervert Yamori]] can't help but [[EatingTheEyeCandy stare at the woman's bosom]], long enough that [[MyEyesAreUpHere she asks him if they interest him that much]]. The anime [[{{Fanservice}} plays this up]] by [[MaleGaze showing a still of the woman's chest for 5 seconds]], [[POVCam essentially showing us Yamori's point of view]]. After they take their leave, Mahiru advises Yamori to be more discreet in the future, [[NotSoAboveItAll stating that he's skilled at looking without getting caught]].
35* ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' has [[http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20081204222326/digimon/images/8/8a/Lilithmon_Bo-1002_%28DM%29.jpg Lilithmon]]/[[DubNameChange Laylamon,]] the series' embodiment of lust. Despite having that descriptor, her outfit isn't all that revealing and mostly resembles a more winged version of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX Lulu's outfit]] pictured above as this page's trope image.
36* Ikaruga from ''Manga/FairyTail'' wears her white kimono completely off her shoulders to reveal a fair amount of cleavage.
37* Lust from ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' wears a LittleBlackDress below her armpits. Technically speaking, she and at least some of the other Homunculi are naked because their "clothes" are really part of their body, as shown when they're injured and their clothes regenerate with the rest of them.
38* In ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler'', Athena wears a black dress with a low neckline that exhibits a good amount of her cleavage.
39* ''Manga/TheHelpfulFoxSenkoSan'': Yozora/Sora wears her kimono completely off her shoulders. One suspects she uses magic to stop it from falling off.
40* Prome O and Nilval Nephew of ''Anime/HeroicAge''. There are some shots where it seems BarbieDollAnatomy may be the only thing keeping Prome looking even remotely decent.
41* ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'': [[IdolSinger Sheryl]] [[MsFanservice Nome]] is guilty of this in a few of her more elaborate pieces of wardrobe. Her outfit for Lion (the song) is particularly guilty. That said, it's completely justified - what she's ''actually'' wearing is a holographic bodysuit with [[ImpossiblyCoolClothes her more physics-defying outfits]] projected over the top.
42* [[spoiler:Fabia Crozelg's adult form]] in ''Manga/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaVivid'' is shown in Chapter 50 to have a barrier jacket whose top is worn this way. Considering how she's [[spoiler:a WickedWitch]], it probably is held in place by magic.
43* Alcyone from ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth'', especially in the anime, wears a strapless leotard that somehow never falls off despite the big size of her breasts.
44* Mei Terumi, the Fifth Mizukage, in ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' wears a SexySlitDress that only covers up to the upper part of her arms and the underside of her breasts, leaving her shoulders, collarbone and a bit of cleavage exposed.
45* In ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'', [[ColdSniper Mana]] infiltrates the Governor's ball in a disguise that includes a strapless, [[SexyBacklessOutfit backless]] ballgown/corset.
46* In ''Manga/OnePiece'', a minor character named Belladonna wears a top that hangs off her shoulders and is held in place by just one button.
47* In ''Anime/MagicalPokaan'', the [[{{Stripperiffic}} belt Liru wears as a top]] combines this with underboobs.
48* Ogin of ''Literature/RequiemFromTheDarkness'', when not in disguise, exclusively wears a very low kimono. Made all the more impressive by Ogin moving around more than most examples of this trope: she frequently shows off her ability to run, crawl, drag people away, and even swim without falling out.
49* In ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'', Yumi's neckline was already pretty low to begin with, but it kept descending steadily until her kimono was more or less completely off the shoulders. [[WordOfGod Watsuki]] mentioned in a commentary that he heard from several cosplayers who remarked how impossible it was to maintain their modesty while dressed as her.
50* ''Manga/SamuraiDeeperKyo'''s Izumo no Okuni. Of course, given that she's also seen hovering in midair at times, she's probably levitating the kimono to hold it in place.
51* In ''Anime/ShowByRock'', Daru Dayu wears her kimono this way. She's wearing a corset or tube top underneath so her breasts don't get exposed.
52* In ''Manga/XxxHolic'', anything and everything ever worn by Yuuko has a very low neckline that exposes at least part of her shoulders and cleavage.
53* ''Anime/YuGiOh'' has Dark Magician Girl, who wears an outfit that hangs off her shoulders (past her armpits, to be precise). Since Dark Magician Girl is one of the most animated monsters in the series, her breasts always look like they're [[MsFanservice about to jump out]]. The only reason she doesn't have any wardrobe malfunctions is that her costume is also skintight.
54[[/folder]]
55
56[[folder:Comic Books]]
57* In ''ComicBook/TheDemonMages'', Ari the Gorgon's dress is designed with this trope in mind. In most of her artwork outside of the comic, it also reveals a large scar on her left breast.
58* DependingOnTheArtist, Literature/DominoLady's signature white gown can be this. The original pulp stories specify the gown is backless, and almost all artists have taken this to mean strapless as well. Some artists have drawn the neckline so low it would be impossible for her to move, let alone run or fight, without popping out.
59* Sersi of ''ComicBook/TheEternals'' was designed with a strapless green bustier that's sometimes drawn in this manner. Interestingly, while her new costume from the 2006 relaunch by Creator/NeilGaiman is still rather revealing, it at least has straps this time to explain how it actually stays on her body during combat.
60* [[https://indyplanet.com/gemini-storm-2 Gemini Storm's]] artist posted the inks for one of the pages. How are her breasts [[http://hdub7.deviantart.com/art/Gemini-Storm-pag-11ink-127224376 staying there?]]
61* ''ComicBook/RedRobin'' villain the Wanderer may have the excuse of using skin contact to kill people for choosing a neckline that is open to her shorts but she'd require a massive amount of nearly super-powered tape to keep her boobs in the thing she wears as a shirt while flipping around and fighting.
62* ''ComicBook/{{Thunderstrike}}'': Marcy opens a health salon wearing a fancy red dress, that shows off her healthy figure. This includes very low cut cleavage.
63* Franchise/WonderWoman's strapless bustier is sometimes drawn too low to stay on while she's fighting without having been surgically glued to her breasts.
64* In ''ComicBook/XMen'', the Hellfire Club outfits include bustiers that are like this, worn by Emma Frost, Selene, and Phoenix (and Jean Grey, depending on continuity). Some got even more ridiculous recently, although that's supposedly just Emma playing mind tricks... even though it doesn't explain any other impossible comic heroine costume.
65** [[ComicBook/NewMutants Surge]]'s costume also frequently involves tube tops that would require a substantial amount of double-sided tape to keep her contained.
66[[/folder]]
67
68[[folder:Fanfiction]]
69* In ''Fanfic/IncarnationOfLegends'', Lusserina's dress is described as leaving her shoulders as well as the upper part of her breasts completely bare. Yet it remains on her despite her slim figure as an elf.
70* Xanna aka [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Kyuubi]] in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9920512/1/Reaching-for-a-Dream Reaching for a Dream]]'' has one after [[spoiler:becoming the new Juubi]]. In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10623866/1/ Sekirei? Is that some new species of little sister?]]'' she outright admits that physics dictates her kimono should fall right off her shoulders, she uses her [[PhysicalGod power]] to keep it in place.
71[[/folder]]
72
73[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
74* Belle's yellow ball gown in Disney's ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'' looks this way in [[http://larryfire.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/beautybeastdancinglow.jpg some shots]], but higher up in others.
75* ''WesternAnimation/{{The Hunchback of Notre Dame|Disney}}'': Esmeralda's main outfit and red dancing dress have low off-the-shoulder necklines.
76* The dresses worn by Elizabeth and her WickedStepmother in ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfTheTitanic''. Keep in mind that this is 1912 and that both of them are high society ladies.
77[[/folder]]
78
79[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
80* Miss Scarlet's dress from ''Film/{{Clue}}'' looks like this, particularly scandalous considering the movie is set in the 1950's. In the movie she's a [[MissKitty madam]], so it's not surprising that she'd be more forwardly sexual.
81* A lot of the women in Film/HammerHorror films would wear outfits that would hover just at that right spot to expose enough flesh to interest any vampires/werewolves/monsters passing by.
82* In ''Film/HappyDeathDay2U'', Danielle wears a college T-shirt cut enough to make one nerd very distracted ("hey, [[MyEyesAreUpHere head's in the middle"]]).
83* One gag in ''Film/TheJerk'' has fun with this when Navin and Marie go out to eat at a fancy restaurant, with Marie wearing a dress that greatly emphasizes her cleavage. When Navin sees that the restaurant is feeding them "snails" (escargot), Marie averts her eyes in disgust by [[https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BODI5NDQ1OWUtODAwNC00NzIwLTg1YWQtYTE0YzkwNmYxODNiXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNzc5NjM0NA@@._V1_.jpg looking up in a way that makes her cleavage more obvious.]]
84-->'''Navin''': [[DoubleEntendre Two boobs! That's what he takes us for]]!
85* For a large portion of the second half of ''Film/JewelRobbery'' (1932), Baroness Teri von Horhenfels (Kay Francis) wears a gown that is backless, off the shoulders and has a low front neckline. There are no visible means of support, yet the gown stays firmly in place. One possible answer is that the tops of the sleeves are tightly held to her upper arms, perhaps with elastic, and this is the support for the gown as a whole.
86* ''Film/{{Mandalay}}'': {{Enforced}}. As is with any film from the early thirties starring Creator/KayFrancis, there are bias-cut gowns with amazingly low necklines. Special mention goes to the dresses she wears while working as a prostitute at the "Jardin d'Orient" nightclub. So, it's kind of {{justified|trope}} as well.
87* Meg's Masquerade dress and Christine's black dress in Joel Schumacher's ''Film/{{The Phantom of the Opera|2004}}''. Christine's neckline in the graveyard scene is highly [[HollywoodCostuming anachronistic]] since it's a mourning dress, which were at the time of the film's setting supposed to be modest.
88* Jessica Rabbit from ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit''. It's okay for her, firstly because she's an animated character, and secondly because she's not really meant to be all that realistic anyway.
89[[/folder]]
90
91[[folder:Literature]]
92* ''Anime/FatePrototype'': In the prequel light novel, ''Fragments of Sky Silver'', Manaka Sajyou wears her dress normally. In the present, she unbuttons it and lets it hang past her shoulders. Counts as FanDisservice since doing this reveals the wound that originally killed her, which still bleeds and soaks her top with blood.
93* In ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD'', Kuroka always wears her kimono this way. She [[GoingCommando doesn't wear any undergarments]] and [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl wouldn't care if she got exposed anyway]].
94* Parodied in Creator/PoulAnderson and Creator/GordonRDickson's ''Literature/{{Hoka}}'' series: "pirate wench" Anne Bonney has to have a low neckline, but Hoka females are quadrimammarian. Her dress has ''two'' bodices.
95* In ''Literature/JinxHigh'' by Creator/MercedesLackey, the villainess commissions a costume straight out of the American Revolutionary period for the school dance. The bodice is cut so low that one of her boyfriends has almost complete access to her boobs while she's wearing it (handy when you need to distract said boyfriend while the mind control spell takes effect).
96* In the book ''Mrs. 'Arris Goes to Paris'' by Paul Gallico, this off the shoulder dress style is described as simulating the look of a naked woman under a sheet.
97* Used in ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'' when Nynaeve, Elayne, and their companions are traveling undercover as circus performers. [[{{Tsundere}} Nynaeve]] and Birgitte wear dresses with Impossibly Low Necklines for their act, in which Birgitte outlines Nynaeve against a wall with arrows from a hundred paces. PlayedForLaughs because of Nynaeve's frustration with being forced to wear something so immodest, while Birgitte is having a grand old time of it.
98** More generally, within the copious amount of CostumePorn in the series, some variation on the phrase "she looked like she was about to pop out of her dress" appears about once a book. One of many examples of AuthorAppeal.
99[[/folder]]
100
101[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
102* A costume drama set at court in the Tang Dynasty was censored by the Chinese government for its low necklines even though the producers showed with contemporary paintings that their costumes were based on historically correct outfits.
103* The half t-shirt that Kris Munroe's wearing in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXTMUHbnAa0 this scene]] from the "Mother Goose is Running for His Life" episode of ''Series/CharliesAngels''.
104* During the production of ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'', costume designer [[TheissTitillationTheory William Ware Theiss]] was given explicit instructions by the network on how far he could go; one such instruction permitted costumes whose décolletage could expose ''anything'' all the way down to the top edge of the areola. Theiss, knowing a good thing when he saw it, followed those guidelines (ahem) explicitly.
105%%* Creator/CynthiaWatros in a couple of later episodes of ''Series/{{Titus}}''.
106%%* Some of the costumes on ''Series/TheTudors''.
107* ''Series/GossipGirl'': Serena van der Woodsen likes to dress like this.
108* In an episode of ''Series/LivingSingle'', Regine tries to describe a new dress to her friends, but they know her too well:
109--> '''Max''': Lemme guess, it's strapless...
110--> '''Sinclaire''': ...backless...
111--> '''Kadijah''': ...and hits the cleavage about ''here''. ''(puts her hand about two-thirds down her chest)''
112[[/folder]]
113
114[[folder:Theater]]
115* Magda in ''Theatre/TanzDerVampire''. How is she supposed to scrub floors in that!?
116* In the stage version of ''Theatre/WestSideStory'', Maria nags at Anita about her new dancing dress.
117--> '''Maria''': Make the neck lower.
118--> '''Anita''': Next year.
119--> '''Maria''': Next year I will be married to Chino and no one will care if it is down to ''here!'' [''indicating the floor'']
120--> '''Anita''': Down to ''where?''
121--> '''Maria''': Down to ... here. [''indicating her waist'']
122[[/folder]]
123
124[[folder:Video Games]]
125* Petra Johanna Lagerkvist from ''VideoGame/ArcanaHeart'' wears a strapless white dress that exposes her shoulders and cleavage.
126* ''VideoGame/BraveNineStory'': Lucrezia's Christmas attire consists of a dress that hangs beneath her shoulders.
127* The "witch" costume set from ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'' is obviously held up with [[strike:staples and glue]] a NAILGUN!, because there's nothing else to keep it on your character's body.
128* Hanne Lichthammer from ''VideoGame/CliveBarkersJericho'' wears an extremely [[FormFittingWardrobe tight-fitting]], S&M-style SS uniform that just ''barely'' manages to contain her assets. Considering her horrifically mutilated appearance, though, this is definitely an example of FanDisservice.
129* Morrigan from ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'' has such a low-cut outfit that, if she wasn't a [[SuccubiAndIncubi Succubus]], would be a walking WardrobeMalfunction. Of course, she's not actually wearing ''clothes''...
130* The ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'' series has archers, and ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea 2|CursedMemories}}'' has Rozalin. ''VideoGame/Disgaea5AllianceOfVengeance'' has Seraphina, whose top is cut so low that magic is the only explanation for why she isn't constantly subjected to a WardrobeMalfunction.
131* Jessica from ''VideoGame/DragonQuestVIII'' features a gravity-defying shirt.
132* ''VideoGame/DragonRage'': Adara's LeotardOfPower doesn't appear to have anything holding it up.
133* Kaguya Nanbu from ''VideoGame/EndlessFrontier''. The only thing that prevents her breasts from popping out of her clothes is the will of the Almighty, especially during bouncing.
134* Franchise/FateSeries:
135** ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'': Artemis' dress to a ridiculous extent. Her outfit doesn't even connect to her shoulders and looks like the outfit is practically glued onto her breasts.
136** Tamamo-no-Mae from ''VideoGame/FateEXTRA'' (her default outfit) and ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' (all her outfits) sports one.
137** Napoleon Bonaparte provides a RareMaleExample in his first form, where his shirt and vest are both unbuttoned to halfway down his chest to show off his muscular torso. He does button them up in later forms, and one of his Ascension comments is how [[LampshadeHanging that kind of look is best left to the ladies anyway]].
138* Lulu from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX''. She keeps up her dress with a heavily boned corset and belts on the upper arms. But it's basically the [[PrettyInMink fur trim]] that keeps her from total exposure. One wonders if she is capable of using her black magic to prevent sunburn that would otherwise occur from dressing her pale self like that [[ExposedToTheElements on a tropical island.]]
139* Several of [[BlackMagicianGirl The Sorceress']] outfits in ''[[{{VideoGame/Gauntlet}} Gauntlet: Dark Legacy]]'' have a low neckline, but better displayed by the Blue Sorceress.
140* ''VideoGame/GuildWars'' starts off all female Elementalists in the Prophecies campaign in what can only be described as lingerie, and even then, its ability to stay on [[http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Elementalist_Ascalon_armor/Female can only be explained by magic]]. And [[DoubleStandard of course]], the male variant is a shirt, jacket, and trousers that cover everything.
141* ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'':
142** Sona wears a low-cut blue dress that reveals a fair amount of cleavage and just barely covers her shoulders.
143** Ahri wears a strapless, short kimono with detached sleeves that exposes her shoulders and quite a bit of cleavage.
144* '' VideoGame/PokemonLegendsArceus'': Male example with Adaman, with the neckline of his clothes under his haori being low and quite loose, showing off his collarbone and upper chest.
145* A male example in [[IronButtMonkey Inspector Grosky]] from the ''VideoGame/ProfessorLayton'' prequels. [[http://images.wikia.com/layton/images/1/13/ClampGrosky.png Just look.]]
146* When the Hero first meets Katrina in ''VideoGame/QuestForGloryIV'', she's dressed rather demurely, with a hood and cloak partly concealing her. Later on, she discards the cloak when she switches into full FemmeFatale mode. Compare [[http://www.fief.org/kathleen/qg4/katrina.jpg here]] and [[http://a4.ec-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/61/590dd6676087147afb44682a8aed9086/l.jpg here]]. If the top wasn't a corset it would fall right down, and probably the only thing keeping her from popping out of the top of it is magic.
147* Freudia, Sichte, and Liebea from ''VideoGame/{{Rosenkreuzstilette}}'' all have outfits that not only expose their shoulders but also couldn't be worn any higher than the top areas of their chests. Zorne also later gets one such outfit of her own in ''Rosenkreuzstilette Freudenstachel'' as part of her CostumeEvolution.
148* Cerebella from ''VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}}'' wears a bright orange strapless low-cut mini-dress. Her design notes explain that it's literally taped on.
149* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'':
150** Rouge's IconicOutfit is a strapless SpyCatsuit that shows off her large cleavage. Might be justified by the fact that she's a bat and a high neckline would be inconvenient for winged characters.
151** Marine the Raccoon wears a lime green tube top. Hers isn't played for fanservice though - she's only seven, so there's no cleavage to show off anyway.
152* In ''VideoGame/SakuraWars'', when Sumire Kanzaki wears a kimono, she leaves it hanging off her shoulders to reveal some cleavage.
153%%* Kai and Nou in ''VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors''.
154* Amy in ''VideoGame/SoulCalibur IV'' has a low neckline, with the fur trim being the only thing keeping the players from seeing everything.
155* Rose's alternate costume in ''Super VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'' features a low neckline. Also, one of her ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha Street Fighter Alpha 3]]'' win poses had her wearing a similar low-cut dress in pink.
156* ''VideoGame/SuperOffRoad'': In the Platform/SuperNES version, the girl by the yellow-clad racer donned a dress with a neckline that plummets beneath her shoulders.
157* ''VideoGame/TheWitcher3WildHunt'':
158** Keira Metz. While all of Geralt's love interests sport form-fitting outfits, Keira's stands out due to its neckline that dips well past her bust line to show off not just her cleavage but most of her sternum.
159** Ves of the Blue Stripes, much to Roache's [[AngerBornOfWorry fury and consternation]]. While she wears traditional battle gear, none of it is properly secured, with both shirt and jacket lying completely open, exposing her entire sternum, held in place by single tie of the bottom most tether.
160-->'''Roache:''' ...instead of donning a breastplate, you dash into battle shirt open, navel and...''whatnot'' exposed!
161%%* ''VideoGame/WorldOfMana'' brings us Primm from ''VideoGame/SecretOfMana'' as well as Angela, Riesz, Belladonna, and Jessica from ''VideoGame/TrialsOfMana''. [[VideoGame/SwordOfMana The original heroine's]] redesign in ''Adventures of Mana'' also features this (which is concealed by her capelet, of course).
162[[/folder]]
163
164[[folder:Visual Novels]]
165* Shih-na from ''VisualNovel/AceAttorneyInvestigationsMilesEdgeworth'' wears an impossibly skimpy dress that provides no method of holding itself up. Presumably, there's a generous amount of tape involved.
166* In ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'', Angel Mort's waitresses wear an uniform that's basically a strapless black leotard that reveals the shoulders and cleavage.
167[[/folder]]
168
169[[folder:Webcomics]]
170* It's justified in the 18th-century parts of ''Webcomic/TheDreamer'' due to it being en vogue.
171* [[http://drowtales.deviantart.com/art/Ch44-sasi-412416320 One of the cameos]] in Webcomic/{{Drowtales}} has an outfit similar to the header picture. It never moves despite that she's an air specialist who can more or less fly and jump great heights.
172* Missi in [[http://www.misfile.com/misfile/2009-12-30 this]] ''Webcomic/{{Misfile}}'' strip. Oddly, in the first panel, there appear to be (extremely thin) straps, [[OffModel but in the second panel]], the trope applies. Not that there's much to fall out…
173* Dixie's outfit in ''ComicStrip/WhatsNewWithPhilAndDixie'' after she's become LawfulGood combines this with a NavelDeepNeckline. As she remarks, being übergood still gives you the fashion perks of evil.
174[[/folder]]
175
176[[folder:Web Original]]
177* In the Literature/WhateleyUniverse, one of the many problems with the new costume of [=THE CRIMSON COMET!!!=]. Granted, she just got the superpowers and the curves a couple weeks ago and she hasn't gotten over it yet.
178[[/folder]]
179
180[[folder:Western Animation]]
181* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', Marge Simpson's default green dress. Once even lampshaded by a prison warden.
182-->'''Warden''': NOTHING IS KEEPING UP HER DRESS! ONLY HER MELONS!!!
183** At least that makes logical sense - but Lisa also wears an off-the-shoulder dress with the same neckline, and there is definitely '''nothing''' to hold hers up except ArtisticLicensePhysics.
184* In ''WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM'', Bunnie Rabbot's default clothing is a [[SexyBacklessOutfit backless, strapless leotard]], the front of which [[http://archive.is/qNLuP completely ignores the laws of physics]].
185* Brought up in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'' where Clark and Lois are covering a FashionShow:
186-->'''Lois''' ''(about Lana)'': "The only thing holding that dress up is ''faith!''"
187[[/folder]]
