This is when you have a magical adventure AndYourRewardIsClothes. Not just any clothes either, CostumePorn clothes that '''come out of nowhere'''.

This can happen many ways, from a TransformationSequence, to waving a MagicWand, to AppliedPhlebotinum making the clothes.

A SisterTrope to VirtualPaperDoll.

Compare InstantCosplaySurprise, GardenGarment. Contrast TheNudifier. If the new clothes reflect an EvilMakeover, see PaintItBlack.

!!Examples:
[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
* ''Manga/AyakashiTriangle'''s version of Snegurochka makes her clothing out of [[AnIcePerson ice]], and can exactly duplicate a PimpedOutDress the instant she sees it in a picture. During a summer festivals she makes a yukata and customizes it with a snowflake motif. It's still ''ice'', though, so it's vulnerable to [[ClothingDamage melting]], as shown when a HeatWave turned her usual jacket into a pile of slush until she makes the effort to keep it cool.
* Vanessa from ''Manga/BlackClover'' can use her Thread Magic to create clothes and stitch them back up. She uses it to create the Black Bulls' robes.
* In ''Literature/DateALive'' the Spirits' Astral Dresses are generated by their powers, not only protecting them but also looking fabulous... except maybe [[{{Stripperiffic}} the Yamai twins]], or Yoshino. However, since generally that's the only thing they wear, when Shidou [[TheNudifier seals their powers]]... further, when the spirits are in their limited form, they can partially conjure their Astral Dresses, which meshes with their current clothing.
* In ''Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba'', when the elite Upper-4 demon Hantengu separates his body into the four main emotions: Anger, Pleasure, Joy and Sorrow, only Anger repurposes the main body's outfit, the other three are seen conjuring textile out of thin air along with the new flesh and bones for their bodies; when all four fuse back into a new emotion, Hatred, the same magical wardrobe change happens.
* ''Franchise/DragonBall'': A recurring power used throughout the franchise is Magic Materialization, the ability to materialize objects -- but most commonly clothing, typically martial arts uniforms, on characters who have suffered ClothingDamage or who may be dressed inappropriately for an occasion. Piccolo is its most common user, but Supreme Kai uses it several times too.
* ''Manga/FairyTail'': Lucy's celestial spirits provide her and her friends with regal-looking clothes when clothing is necessary.
* In ''Anime/GuiltyCrown'', [[ApocalypseMaiden Mana]] is initially [[NakedOnRevival unclothed]] after her [[FetalPositionRebirth resurrection]], but takes the time to manifest a ballet dress out of crystals before getting down to the whole eradicating-humanity-business.
* In ''VisualNovel/KamigamiNoAsobi'', the gods [[TransformationSequence can change into]] their true forms, and it involves some of this. The ones with [[WalkingShirtlessScene more revealing outfits]] have enough jewelry that it still is this.
* ''Anime/PrincessTutu'': Rue gets a [[PimpedOutDress beautiful dress]] this way at the end of the series. Mytho also changes into a gorgeous "prince outfit" (complete with sword) for the final battle.
* ''Manga/OnePiece'' has "Fox Fire" Kin'emon has the power of the Garb-Garb Fruit, which lets him dress people up in whatever clothes or costume he wants. However, these clothes are basically illusions- if you take them off, they vanish completely. Normally, he applies his power by having recipients place an object like a leaf or stone on their heads, but for the raid on Onigashima, he creates a gate that dresses whoever passes through in a HellBentForLeather outfit like the [[DressingAsTheEnemy kind Kaido's minions wear.]]
* ''Manga/OsananajimiwaOnnanokoniNaare'': When Sylphie [[GenderBender turns Iori into Shiori]], she usually changes their clothes along with it--and sometimes just the clothes afterward. Sylphie can make any clothing in an instant, and spends an early chapter putting Shiori in every ridiculous outfit her classmates requested. Her turning back into Iori reverses the clothes' transformation as well--but normal clothes she put on after transforming won't be effected. Sylphie once withheld that information to leave Iori [[UnplannedCrossdressing on the street in girls' clothing]], and tries to take advantage of him ''wanting'' to change into a girl for once.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Comic Books]]
* ''ComicBook/TheDarkPhoenixSaga'': Phoenix (Jean Grey) frequently uses her highly advanced telekinesis to molecularly transform her outfits (including changing her street clothes into a combat uniform and the uniform into a bathing suit).
* ''ComicBook/{{Silk}}'' can use her webbing to weave clothes in seconds.
* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'': Paula's Space Transformer was used to generate {{Gorgeous Period Dress}}es and other quick outfit changes on occasion in the Golden Age of Comics.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Barbie}}'': This happens in a fair number of films:
** ''WesternAnimation/BarbieInTheNutcracker'': Clara's nightgown turns into a pink and white tutu (complete with RegalRinglets and a tiara) [[spoiler:when she is revealed to be the Sugarplum Princess.]]
** ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAsRapunzel'': Rapunzel uses her magic paintbrush to turn her dress into several different gowns, eventually settling on a glittery pink and purple number.
** ''WesternAnimation/BarbieOfSwanLake'': Odette's dress is transformed twice, once into a pink gown for her evening with Daniel and again into a sparkly swan feathered gown.
** ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAndTheDiamondCastle'': Four times over (six if you count the dogs getting all sparkly).
* ''Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon'': Honestly something of a defining feature:
** ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'': In the role of a snarky tailor, Genie transforms Aladdin's ratty street clothes into princely robes.
** ''WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}'': Has such a scene to fit the fairytale. Legend has it that this TransformationSequence was Creator/WaltDisney's favorite piece of animation done by his animation shop.
** ''Franchise/{{Frozen}}'':
*** In the [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 first movie]], Elsa's [[AnIceSuit snow queen dress]] is [[AnIcePerson woven from ice and snow]] during the "''[[IAmBecomingSong Let it Go]]''" sequence. She can also make ice skates.
*** ''WesternAnimation/FrozenII'' gives her [[spoiler:an all-white dress, cape, and sandals after she finds her mother's spirit at Ahtohallan]].
** ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989'': At the end, [[spoiler:Triton makes Ariel human but gives her a dress, to contrast Ursula not giving her extra clothes]]. The dress itself is an extremely sparkly silver slip dress.
** ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'': The FairytaleWeddingDress and princely clothes at the end appear when Tiana and Naveen are turned back into humans.
* ''WesternAnimation/TrollsWorldTour'': The "Just Sing" sequence has a new rainbow colored outfit and dye job appear on Poppy, seemingly at the behest of the audience of all the troll tribes acknowledging her.
* ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'': Vanellope gets a PimpedOutDress in ''every'' shade of pink after [[spoiler:her game resets, revealing her to be the princess of Sugar Rush]]. Too bad she hates the dress.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
* ''Film/{{Barbarella}}'': Steps into a chamber on her spaceship and emerges seconds later fully dressed. Not that [[NoNudityTaboo she feels any particular need to be.]]
* ''Film/BeautyAndTheBeast2017'': The Wardrobe (Madame de Garderobe) doesn't just contain some dresses for heroine Belle to wear in the castle -- she's able to '''create''' outfits in seconds. At first, the results are RummageSaleReject, but she gets much better at it, culminating in Belle's signature golden ballgown. When the castle comes under attack by Gaston and his mob, she even weaponizes this ability and dresses some attackers in such garish/mismatched outfits that they flee in shock.
* ''Film/CasperMeetsWendy'': All the witches use magic to transform their outfits, but perhaps the closest example to this trope is when Casper asks Wendy to dance, and she changes her scarlet sweater and black pants into bright red slip dress.
* ''Film/Cinderella2015'': As in the original animated version, a ballgown comes courtesy of the FairyGodmother. It involves butterflies and a lot of sparkles.
* ''Film/IntoTheWoods'': Cinderella's gown, accessories and shoes appear on her as she [[SpectacularSpinning spins]] under her willow tree.
* ''Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersTheMovie'': As the Temple opens and bestows its power on the rangers, their temporary "ninja" uniforms are turned back into their battle-ready power suits, which had been absent since the loss of all their powers earlier in the film.
* ''Film/NannyMcPhee'': As Evangeline walks down the aisle, the titular Nanny uses the falling snow to transform Evangeline's dress into wedding gown, complete with tiara, veil, and a long train.
* ''Film/ThorLoveAndThunder'': Thor is constantly making new outfits for himself using Mjolnir/Stormbreaker, especially the first time he runs into Jane using Mjolnir and immediately makes himself a more elaborate costume.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Literature]]
* In ''A Christmas Dream'' by Creator/LouisaMayAlcott, rich girl Effie dreams she is poor and out on the street. An angel appears and turns the snow falling on her [[PrettyInMink into a white fur cape and hood]].
* ''Literature/{{Cinderella}}'': The original FairyTale has the FairyGodmother make a dress for the title heroine.
* ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'': Harry and Susan get one in Changes, courtesy of Lea (who is, yes, Harry's fairy godmother, and she ''revels'' in this opportunity). It also serves as heavy-duty magical gear. However, while Susan's new gear gets her checked out by everyone, Harry's gets him laughs. He describes it as the Creator/GamesWorkshop imagining of a [[Franchise/StarWars Jedi Knight]]. [[spoiler: Fitting, because he's a game-breakingly badass magician, in a world of {{Eldritch Abomination}}s, and is now the Winter Knight.]]
* ''Literature/JourneyToChaos'': Annala is dungeon-diving in the Organic Research Repository when this happens to her. She steps on a floor tile that transforms her light armor into a wedding gown complete with evening gloves and a veil. This is more than middle embarrassing for her, as her boyfriend happened to be with her at the time. Then, his reaction to it (or rather, his lack of reaction), leads her to saying something she immediately regrets.
* ''Literature/MagicInc'': Jedson is seen working with a young witch whose specialty is creating unique garments out of thin air. Unfortunately, she's been having some problems and produces dresses that are copies of existing designs on one try, and several hundred left shoes on another.
* ''Literature/OctoberDaye'' has formal wear forced upon her by various fairies. She finds it annoying.
* ''Literature/{{Uprooted}}'': One of the first spells seen is "vanastalem", which the Dragon uses on Agnieszka daily because her messy, homespun appearance offends his sensibilities. She later uses it herself to block an AttemptedRape, and eventually learns that deliberately fudging it will give her a normal dress.
%%* In ''Literature/VelveteenVs'', by Creator/SeananMcGuire, the Princess has this as a superpower.
* ''Literature/YoungWizards'': Dairine resorts to this in ''Wizards at War'' after finding she has nothing in her closet suitable for meeting alien royalty. Unfortunately, she doesn't consider that reconfiguring her clothes on a molecular level will [[WardrobeMalfunction leave her momentarily nude,]] and she isn't alone at the time.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* ''Series/DoctorWho'': In the ChristmasSpecial "[[Recap/DoctorWho2015CSTheHusbandsOfRiverSong The Husbands of River Song]]", River carries a spray can, rather like a perfume spray, which changes her outfit into something appropriate.
* ''Series/WonderWoman1975'': Wonder Woman's [[SpectacularSpinning iconic transformation]] brings her gorgeous outfit from nowhere. She also uses it to change back, although this is never shown on-camera. Rather, we get a reaction shot of [[KidSidekick Drusilla]] in "Wonder Woman in Hollywood".
* ''Series/TheGoodies'' troop through a cabinet that Graham invented that instantly creates the required clothing for them so they can Do Anything, Anytime.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Music]]
* Music/LindseyStirling gets one of these in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHdkRvEzW84 the music video]] for the orchestral version of her original track "Transcendence". She begins in an old abandoned theatre wearing dull raggedy clothes, but during her first twirl playing the violin she finds, her outfit becomes bright blue with gold decorations. She then helps other people transform in the same way.
* Music/{{Queen|Band}}'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0p_1QSUsbsM It's a Kind of Magic]] shows an old theater come to life when Freddie Mercury (dressed as a magician) enters. He and the other musicians who were dressed in rags transform into the gear that they usually wear on stage.
* Joe Scruggs' "Late Last Night" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KSdOeC4YQE video]] has two of the kids dream about [[TrickedOutShoes spring-loaded boots]] materializing onto their feet, allowing the kids to bounce into space.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
* In ''TabletopGame/AnimaBeyondFantasy'' the spell Wardrobe makes this, giving the caster impressive (magical) clothes that never get damaged or dirty and that at higher levels can change at will as well as protecting the wearer as if they were armor.
* ''TabletopGame/ChangelingTheLost'' has "hedge-spun" garments. They're invariably beautiful and feel wonderful to the touch, but if they so much as brush against ColdIron you're left in your underwear. One rare, valued token is the Hedgespun Wardrobe, which creates hedge-spun clothing on demand (with the caveat that they evaporate at the next dawn).
* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'':
** One of the joke items featured in an April issue of ''Magazine/{{Dragon}} Magazine'' is the "Snazzy Ring", a magical ring that would make the wearer's armour take on the appearance of an elegant gown or suit, while still providing the same level of protection. Unless it went wrong, in which case it left you genuinely naked and destroyed your outfit, making it TheNudifier as well if you [[CriticalFailure roll a 1]].
** In 1st through 3rd Edition (at least) the Rod of Splendor could garb the wielder in magical noble's clothing -- the finest fabrics, plus adornments of [[PrettyInMink furs]] and [[EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry jewels]], worth 7,000-10,000 gold pieces.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Video Games]]
* In ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'', Lady and Trish are both rescued in the buff from the bowels of some demons. Trish uses magic to respawn her usual outfit, while Lady has to make do with some of Nico's threads.
* In ''VideoGame/KingsQuestVI'', this happens to Beauty, who leaves Alexander her old clothes.
* In ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes2DesperateStruggle'', completing the GameWithinAGame ''Bizarre Jelly 5'' unlocks the opening of its ShowWithinAShow adaptation, which takes this trope to the next level: The resident {{Magical Girl}}s [[ClothingDamage have their clothes]] [[{{Fanservice}} blown off]] by an attack, then instantly sprout new, [[FrillyUpgrade frillier ones]].
* ''VideoGame/Persona5'': Awakening to your Persona abilities also grants you a stylish, customized thief outfit in a blaze of magical blue flames.
* ''VideoGame/TheWitcher3WildHunt'': During a quest in Velen, Geralt finds Sorceress Keira Metz [[BathtubScene bathing]] in her private magical cave in Velen. After she [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl flaunts her naked body]] to him via a SexySurfacingShot she magically generates some glamorous clothes for her.
* Right before the final world of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey'', Cappy will summon a tuxedo for Mario if you didn't use amiibo to get it early.
* In the prologue to ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony'', the Monokubs, upon seeing how generically all the characters are dressed, decide to give everyone a fancy makeover. A fancy MagicalGirl-style TransformationSequence follows where the main character, Kaede, has her new clothes appear on her piece by piece.
* One of the bosses in ''VideoGame/BloodstainedRitualOfTheNight'' is the blood-controlling vampire Bloodless. She is first seen having a BloodBath, before [[SexySurfacingShot getting up]], at the same conjuring her dress using the blood in the tub.
* During the first summer event of ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'', Scathach's first priority after being stranded on a tropical island is using her rune magic to give all your female Servants class-changing swimsuits. At the end of the event, she forgets the counterspell, so they're all [[WalkingSwimsuitScene stuck like that]]. In later summer events, swimsuit-variant Servants just go shopping offscreen.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Web Comics]]
* This happens in Chapter 3 of ''Webcomic/CucumberQuest'' - [[spoiler:[[ButtMonkey Carrot]] spends much of the story being a FailureKnight, struggling to do the right thing yet always failing due to his crippling cowardice. But after getting [[LoveInterest Princess Parfait]]'s LoveLetter that she wrote to him, the love mutually shared through their [[MementoMacGuffin lockets]] transforms his patchwork clothes into a shining, heart-themed suit of armor. It lets him magically create any weapon he wants from the heart-shaped gem on his chest, including bows and swords. It also symbolizes his [[TookALevelInBadass character development]]; after he transforms, he stops being cowardly and fights like a real KnightInShiningArmor]].
* In ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' Queen Albia of England can change her clothes and other elements of her appearance instantaneously using some form of advanced applied science that even other sparks think looks a lot like magic and transforms her initial outfit (a relatively practical gardening ensemble) into several pretty new ones while talking to Zeetha and Agatha.
* In ''Webcomic/TheWitchsThrone''. the Witches get a full witch costume after their TransformationSequence.
* In ''WebComic/YokokasQuest'', Copycat is [[VoluntaryShapeshifting able to shapeshift]] into different outfits, and Yfa also does this when he shapeshifts into a human. It is implied that this is a spirit bird ability; other characters [[{{Animorphism}} shapeshift]] into the [[{{Hammerspace}} clothes they were wearing]] when they were last in that form.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Web Original]]
* ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'' Piccolo has named his canonical power to do this the 'Clothes Beam'. At one point, Nail and Kami ([[spoiler: after they fuse with him]]) try to convince him to [[MundaneUtility use it to start his own fashion line]], and suggest the name "Big Green Threads".
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}:'' Not quite like most of these examples, but apparently this world has literal [[PaintedOnPants painted-on bikinis]] that come from a spray can.
* In the ''[[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983 He-Man]] and [[WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower She-Ra]] ChristmasSpecial'', Skeletor uses his staff to create parkas on the kids he kidnapped, to [[PetTheDog show the spirit of Christmas was getting to him]].
* ''WesternAnimation/MagicAdventuresOfMumfie'' did this in Scarecrowella, giving Scarecrow a tuxedo and tails with a top hat.
* In ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', [[TheFashionista Rarity]] usually makes dresses the hard way -- on a sewing machine, with a bit of [[MundaneUtility unicorn telekinesis]] to make up for her lack of fingers. When her talent is challenged by Trixie in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E6BoastBusters "Boast Busters"]], though, she transforms a curtain into a quite impressive dress in a matter of seconds.
* One of the many bizarre inventions of Dr. Doofenschmirtz from ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' is a "Ball-gown-inator" from the episode "[[Recap/PhineasAndFerbGamingTheSystem Gaming the System]]" that, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin puts a formal dress on anyone zapped by it]]. The idea was to [[DraggedIntoDrag use it on every male]] in the [[WhereTheHellIsSpringfield Tri-State Area]] so he would be [[IWantToBeARealMan comparatively more manly]]. There's a FreudianExcuse involved.
* This happens to Jack in the seventh episode of the fifth season of ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack''. [[spoiler:After coming to terms with the rage and frustration that has plagued him for decades in a spiritual journey, Jack is finally deemed worthy by the gods who originally forged the sword for his father. They then blast him with Eye Beams that immediately restore his original appearance, right down to the top knot.]]
* The ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'' character Stella can create dresses with her fairy magic. When she's depowered in a later season, she briefly forgets she ''can't'' do so anymore and grumbles as she fetches them by hand.
