[[caption-width-right:350:Let 'er rip!]]
->'''Mae:''' What if at a key moment in the game my, my uniform bursts open and, uh, oops, my bosoms come flying out? That, that might draw a crowd, right?\\
'''Doris:''' You think there are men in this country who ain't seen your bosoms?
-->-- ''Film/ALeagueOfTheirOwn''

You've heard of NothingIsScarier, right? This trope could be called Nothing Is Sexier.

ClothingDamage is when clothes get torn off during combat. This type of {{Fanservice}} is more generally when clothing rips or falls off in non-combat related situations.

The TheissTitillationTheory says that outfits which "merely suggest the imminence of revelation" are teasingly sexy. If it looks like Victoria is one stiff breeze away from having all of her secrets revealed, it will certainly get your attention, if only out of morbid curiosity. But the allure is all in the teasing: it looks like we'll see something, but we never do. When the hinted-at revelation accidentally comes to pass (universally to the [[NakedFreakOut embarrassment of the victim]] and the [[EatingTheEyeCandy enjoyment]] or [[NakedPeopleAreFunny amusement]] of everyone else), the tease is over. And you get this trope.

This is common to outfits that are {{impractical|lyFancyOutfit}} and/or [[TheissTitillationTheory prone to falling off]] such as {{swimsuit|Index}}s, {{stripperiffic}} clothing, [[ModestyTowel towels]], robes, {{loincloth}}s, [[DressesGownsAndSkirts dresses, gowns and skirts]]. When caused by [[AppliedPhlebotinum some machine or magic]] specifically designed to achieve that effect, see TheNudifier, if caused by some form of shapeshifting see ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing. Witnesses and gawkers are usually targets for an UnprovokedPervertPayback. A ShamelessFanserviceGirl might not care about suffering a wardrobe malfunction and an AttentionWhore might even ''engineer it'' for the attention.

A SuperTrope to AllClothUnravels (clothes unraveling from a single thread), OpenFlyGag (leaving the zipper undone), PoppingButtons (when buttons pop away from the clothes), SlipperySwimsuit (losing your swimwear in the water) SplittingPants (pants or similar garments rip from strenuous movements and/or being too small for the wearer) and StrippingSnag (clothes get snagged off when caught in something). See also DressHitsFloor if the malfunction causes the clothes to pool at their feet. Compare DefeatByModesty, PantsPullingPrank, RightOutOfMyClothes, ShamefulStrip, UndressingTheUnconscious, and WardrobeWound. Contrast SexyCoatFlashing. May cause a ComedicUnderwearExposure or NakedFreakOut. A FanDisservice version might be PlumbersCrack.

Don't mistake with GravityIsAHarshSeamstress, when falling through clotheslines gets you dressed in mismatched clothes.

!!Administrivia/NoRealLifeExamplesPlease. This includes when this happens unintentionally during live performances.

* Miria experiences a Wardrobe Malfunction in ''Literature/{{Baccano}}'' when [[AccidentalPervert Jacuzzi]] trips and tries to grab something to hold onto -- which turns out to be the front of Miria's strapless dress, [[StrippingSnag snagging it down]] and [[MarshmallowHell shoving his head against her chest]]. And [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Miria]] doesn't even [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl care]].
* ''Anime/BladeAndSoul'': Both Karen and Dan suffer this in episode 13 as a RunningGag. Karen's SeashellBra comes undone while she's fighting some hostile [[FishPeople fish-men]] who suddenly start [[IHaveBoobsYouMustObey worshipping her]] as [[GodGuise their goddess]] after witnessing her [[BuxomBeautyStandard rather ample bosom]]. Later, Dan's {{Sarashi}} unwraps in front of the CatFolk she's fighting, and they react in the same manner.
* When Nel in ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' goes back to being her adult self, the green gown which covered her entire body as a child [[ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing doesn't fit as well anymore]] and the gown gets torn into a skirt and a top, revealing only her midriff and {{Underboobs}}.
* ''Manga/BoardingSchoolJuliet'':
** After her clothes got wet, Juliet had to put on Romio's clothes temporarily. Because of their HugeGuyTinyGirl dynamic, Romio's uniform was too big for Juliet and the pants slide back down revealing her legs because she didn't tie the belt to fit her and it results in confetti somehow [[SomethingElseAlsoRises bursting out of his head]]. Later, Juliet (in her "Julio" alter-ego) had to put on a Towan bathrobe in a hurry or else she'd be discovered by Romio's adopted sister Shuna. Juliet manages to fool Shuna, but when Romio turns his attention to Juliet, her robe was loose, slightly showing a little of her cleavage. As a Westian, Juliet doesn't know how to put it on properly.
** During the BeachEpisode when Hasuki was trying to teach Romio how to swim, she suddenly lets him go so that he can swim on his own. Romio starts flailing his arms about, trying to grab the nearest object, which happens to be Hasuki's bikini top. One [[StrippingSnag strong yank]], and Hasuki suddenly finds herself topless.
* ''Manga/BootyRoyaleNeverGoDownWithoutAFight'':
** After Misora shows up to her first match of the TournamentArc in a slingshot bikini, Akira and Sara get the idea to one-up that by dressing her for her second match in nothing but elastic bandages. The logical result happens when she finishes off Chompoo Shinlat with a flying kick: the bandages snap and leave her naked in front of the crowd and on live TV. [[ReluctantFanserviceGirl She's mortified]] and probably would have suffered a DefeatByModesty if she hadn't kayoed Shinlat already.
** The Space Wolf modeling celebrates the establishment of the second generation of Japan KGB with a pay-per-view breast tug-of-war: suction cups attached to the first- and second-generation models' nipples, winner still has hers attached. When trans woman Miya (2nd gen) goes up against Beruko (1st gen), the movement causes enough friction and arousal that she has an erection that escapes her panties. She's mortified, but the other girls reassure her that it's no big deal and [[GagPenis declare her penis to just be a really big clit]].
* The central character of the highly obscure manga ''Manga/{{Buraburabanban}}'' (loosely cognate with "brass brass band band" via use of shortened loanwords) suffers one of these when, while conducting a performance of the school band, her motions become so vigorous that her shirt flies up, revealing to the audience that she [[VaporWear forgot to wear a bra]] that day. Much later, in the final pages of the last chapter, a CallBack strikes during an even bigger and more public concert: her baton [[StrippingSnag catches on the strap of her dress]], which completely falls off. And this time she [[GoingCommando isn't wearing panties either]].
* Chapter 12/ episode 4A of ''Manga/CastleTownDandelion'' deals with a bottomless [[ReluctantFanserviceGirl Akane]] who [[PantsFree shows up to school without her skirt]]. [[DistractedByTheSexy Everyone notices]], and assumes she forgot it, but no one has the guts to tell her or is afraid she will have a DefiledForever reaction if they do, so they [[IgnoreTheFanservice try to ignore it]]. When her sister points it out to her she reveals she [[StrippingSnag ripped her skirt in some bushes]] and put on some gym shorts and lifts her shirt to show her... but then it turns out she ''forgot'' to put on the shorts and she just have her classmates a {{panty shot}}. Cue SkywardScream.
* ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'':
** Touma accidentally disrobes Index at the beginning by touching her magically-generated clothes with his [[AntiMagic Imagine Breaker]]. Index had actually told him to do it, not believing him when told about his ability, but neither of them expected her [[TheNudifier clothes would disintegrate]]. This causes problems later when an enemy who knows Index attacks her and is shocked the attack actually hurt her, not knowing her magic clothes were gone.
** Happens again later in the second season to free a nun from magic-restricting clothing. Which then leads to a {{flashback}} (from another character) of Touma's hand being used to free other nuns while Touma was unconscious. He still gets in trouble.
* Takao from ''Anime/{{D Frag}}'' once spontaneously fired the zipper on her track shirt at [[SecondYearProtagonist Kenji]] without as much as a gesture.
* In the second episode of ''Anime/DragonautTheResonance'', Jin is knocked unconscious by Sieglinde's BattleButler and in awakens a bunker room with [[UndressingTheUnconscious all of his clothes gone]]. He wraps a [[ModestyBedsheet bedsheet around his waist]] and starts looking around, until Sieglinde enters the room and startles him, causing the sheet to slip down to the floor and giving her a NakedFirstImpression (He's only seen from [[ShouldersUpNudity the waist up]]). She promptly nicknames him "[[TeenyWeenie little man]]".
* Mai Shiranui has many of these during her fight scenes in ''Anime/FatalFuryTheMotionPicture'', including rather detailed nipple slips, {{panty shot}}s and camel toes.
* ''Manga/FireForce'': Tamaki is known to get into exceptionally {{fanservice}}y situations due to her [[CuteClumsyGirl clumsiness]], usually resulting is wardrobe malfunction or {{Suggestive Collision}}s. She termed that problem a "Lucky Lewd Syndrome".
* ''Manga/GabrielDropOut'': Raphiel has the largest chest of the girls and is also the most athletic, but she ends up being [[DCupDistress held back by them]] in the episode where they take the fitness test since the bra she was wearing that day was too tight and she was afraid to move too much and causing it the hooks to snap, which they eventually do during the running test, causing a lot of bouncing.
* ''Manga/GhostTalkersDaydream'': Kadotake trips and grabs Misaki's dress while falling down, [[StrippingSnag causing it to rip off]] and reveal her sexy lingerie underwear.
%%* Kiriko Aoi in the 5th episode of ''Anime/{{Godannar}}''.
* ''Literature/GoldenTime'': The bikini top Kouko shows off to Chinami in the latter's apartment during episode 14 falls off while she's complaining about Banri.
* Invoked in ''Manga/HauntedJunction''. When the ''[[HeadTurningBeauty very]]'' sexy {{Cute Ghost Girl}}s Yamiko and Hanako get into a sports competition with lives at the stake that has sexiness as one of the requirements, Yamiko [[CombatPragmatist cheats]] by either intentionally dropping one of her uniform straps to bare her breasts (manga) or by replacing a swimsuit she has to wear for the swimming contest with dissolving BodyPaint and performing SexySurfacingShot for sex appeal points (anime).
* In an episode of ''Manga/HellTeacherNube'', a RibbonCuttingCeremony is being held, and a boy grabs a pair of scissors to cut the ribbon. Instead he accidentally cuts a teacher's skirt belt, causing it to fall off.
* [[MsFanservice Ukraine]] from ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'' has a [[PoppingButtons button pop off her shirt]] due to [[DCupDistress her huge breasts]]. Several times.
* ''Manga/HowHeavyAreTheDumbbellsYouLift'':
** A RunningGag is that Hibiki suffers one whenever she's really [[WorkoutFanservice pumped to do an exercise]].
*** She gets a split swimsuit after warming up with Akemi's dynamic stretches routine, though it certainly didn't help that she'd gotten bigger since the last time she had worn it. [[ArtShift The look on her face is priceless]].
*** Hibiki's shorts are torn when she does the leg curl. Ayaka tries to tell her about it, but Hibiki's too pumped to listen.
** Satomi and Rumika suffer one when their skirts rip at the same time.
* ''Literature/ICouldntBecomeAHeroSoIReluctantlyDecidedToGetAJob'':
** Airi's bikini top falls off shortly after she kicks Raul when he claims She Is Not My Girlfriend in episode 8.
** Both times we see Airi in her armor, a translucent catsuit with a few [[SceneryCensor conveniently placed metal bars]], the bar across her breasts gets broken.
%%** Happens a few times in the OVA.
* In the first chapter of the manga ''Manga/IdolPretender'', an idol contest is interrupted by a guy wielding a knife, angry that his {{Gonk}} daughter hasn't made it past the pre-audition screening. When the creep takes {{Love Interest|s}} Yuika hostage, GenderBender Chinami snaps and sends him flying with a mighty kick. Unfortunately, they were at the swimsuit competition phase, and Chinami's string-bikini bottom unties and flutters away as a result. He/She still wins a special prize nonetheless.
* ''Literature/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon'': Bell and Ryuu are rescued from the Dungeon and hospitalized. When Ryuu wakes up, she gets up and tries to find Bell without bothering to change out of her hospital gown. When she finds him, the stress from all her running makes the gown fall apart, leading to a NakedFreakOut.
%%* Happen multiple times to Haruna in ''Literature/IsThisAZombie''.
* ''Anime/KanColle'': In Episode 6, Zuikaku notices that Shoukaku has spilled a drop of curry on her skirt. When she tries to rub it away, she winds up pulling off Shoukaku's skirt with incredible ease. An embarrassed Shoukaku then starts running around in panic, causing them to forget about the curry competition.
* During a BeachEpisode in ''Manga/KashimashiGirlMeetsGirl'', Hazumu's swimsuit top almost falls off.
* ''Manga/KemekoDeluxe'' has probably [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caoh6UGoMPA the most unbelievable malfunction]] that happened in Anime history via StandardSnippet. A pair of glass happens to fall right on Izumi's bikini strings [[StrippingSnag unlacing the knot]] causing her top fall off right in front of Sanpeita while [[Music/LudwigVanBeethoven Beethoven's]] "Ode to Joy" making the moment verge on MundaneMadeAwesome territory. Izumi gets a [[LuminescentBlush full-body blush]] and a NakedFreakOut before delivering a UnprovokedPervertPayback via MegatonPunch.
* At the prefectural swimming tournament in episode 8 of ''Manga/KenkoZenrakeiSuieibuUmisho'', Momoko gets coerced into making a [[TheBet bet]] with Nanjou, the other team's captain, that the loser of the 100-meter freestyle has to have a "nip slip" [[HumiliatingWager in front of the crowd]]. Momoko wins, and while she's [[UnsportsmanlikeGloating rubbing it in]], [[LaserGuidedKarma the crotch of her swimsuit snaps]]. While Momoko has a NakedFreakOut, [[AttentionWhore Nanjou gets jealous]] and pulls her own swimsuit down to [[BigBreastPride show off]], [[InnocentFanserviceGirl Amuro]] offers to strip as well, and [[ShamelessFanserviceGuy Captain Ikariya]] apparently already has, [[NakedPeopleAreFunny again]]. In the next chapter/episode, Momoko confiscates the pictures that Takeda took that day... and [[HumiliationConga gives them to the school newspaper]].
* [[MsFanservice Sheryl Nome]] in ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'' ends up {{subvert|edTrope}}ing the ImpossiblyLowNeckline of her one-piece tube dress. When the ship she's on is attacked, everyone ends up falling to the ground, with the lights flickering off. When the lights come back on it's revealed her dress ''does'' fall off, all the way down to her waist with [[GodivaHair conveniently placed hair on her chest]]. It doesn't stop her from slapping Alto for seeing her.
* ''Manga/MariaHolic'': Poor Ayari suffered this... ''twice''. Both incidents even happened at the same feast. The first was as a child, when Shizu (then posing as Mariya) stumbled on her and accidentally revealed her [[GoofyPrintUnderwear panda-print panties]]. The second was as a teenager, after Mariya saved her from falling off her float by [[StrippingSnag pulling down]] her SchoolSwimsuit. Cue Ayari's {{Skyward|Scream}} BigNo and Kanako staining the statue of the Virgin Mary with her epic {{nosebleed}}.
* In ''Anime/{{Mazinkaiser}}'''s BeachEpisode, Sayaka starts marching angrily towards the [[{{Mooks}} Iron Masks]] (apparently to give them a piece of her mind) and Kouji tries to stop her by grabbing her shoulder, only to slip and [[StrippingSnag accidentally undo her bikini top]]. When the Iron Masks get [[DistractedByTheSexy completely distracted on Sayaka's bare breasts]], Kouji decides to [[ShowSomeLeg weaponize it]] so they can escape and prevents her from [[HandOrObjectUnderwear covering herself with her arms]].
* Dragons in ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'' don't normally have to worry about this since they're all {{Technically Naked Shapeshifter}}s whose outfits are thus a lot more durable than they appear, but Ilulu, Lucoa, and Elma (in her spin-off) have all been subjected to this when they try on other clothes and their large breasts cause them to rip. Elma in particular gets it pretty bad since she had spent an entire chapter picking out the outfit, [[ShaggyDogStory only for it to be destroyed right after she bought it]].
* Roughly 75% of the jokes from ''Manga/MissMachiko'' invoke this trope. Machiko is often the victim of this in alternative to ClothingDamage (in every case she will lose her dress).
* ''Manga/MyDressUpDarling'':
** Almost happens to Marin during the first cosplay event. She noticed that Shizuku-tan, the character she wanted to cosplay at, had a bigger bust than hers so she put on ''two'' nubras to make her chest bigger. This naturally put a heavy strain on the costume as it was made for her exact size, forcing Gojo to fix it up before it could rip open.
** Later, Gojo manages to help Shinju Inui pull off a cosplay as Souma (a male character) by compressing her ''huge'' chest with a combination of a {{sarashi}} and B-Holder. Unfortunately, they end up giving in to the pressure after a while.
** Defied later on when they're making the costume of Arisa, a girl who dresses up like a PlayboyBunny. Marin seems disappointed when the salesman explains that the bustier is designed so that it won't fall off, implying she was expecting this trope to happen.
* ''Manga/MysteriousGirlfriendX'': [[spoiler:IdenticalStranger Mokona, posing as Urabe and wearing her clothes]], accidentally gives Tsubaki a free show when she bends down because [[spoiler:her breasts are two to three sizes too small for [[AdaptationalCurves Urabe's bra]]]]. When she realises this after he asked her to do it again... [[PervertRevengeMode boot to the head]].
* ''Manga/OnePiece'': During the Wano Arc, when Hawkins bursts into the spa where Nami and Robin are hiding out looking for them, Nami's ModestyTowel ends up slipping loose and falling off, much to the shock and enjoyment of [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer everyone]] there ([[NoseBleed especially Sanji]]).
* ''Manga/PrisonSchool'': Happens to Meiko, on multiple occasions, wears clothes that are way too tight for her [[ImpossibleHourglassFigure curvaceous figure]] and end up giving out and tearing at the most inopportune moments.
** Mari gives her a suffocatingly tight but more modest school uniform. Meiko thinks this is her actual punishment for the incident with Gakuto's action figure but later, when trying to goad Andre to go through the prison's fence, the uniform gives out and tears, which excites Andre enough to charge through the fence [[InvokedTrope just as Mari planned]].
** The back of the pants of her [[spoiler:prison uniform]] tear as she's trying to quickly complete her task of digging a large hole.
** In a flashback chapter, Meiko's {{Sarashi}} audibly tears when she stands up too fast in class to answer a teacher's question.
* A-ko often in ''Anime/ProjectAKo''. When she is particularly embarrassed, one of her bra straps will slip down her shoulder, often with some of the shirt accompanying it. She also often gets into situations that become an innocent PantyShot, not that she takes it that way.
* Happens to Rio at least OncePerEpisode in ''Anime/RioRainbowGate'':
** Rio's wedding dress gets ripped at the skirt by Mint after the latter trips and grabs it at the end of episode one, much to the delight of [[DirtyOldMan Tom Howard]]. Gets followed by a ScreamDiscretionShot by Rio.
** Almost happens to Rio during the virtual beach volleyball game in the giant roulette challenge in episode 2, when the top of her {{b|arelyThereSwimwear}}ikini gets undone, but somehow it gets fixed shortly after.
** One instance borders on ClothingDamage, where Rio and her {{Childhood Friend|s}} Rina are pitted battle of skeet shoot where they shoot coins. A miss by the shooter (when it's her turn) results in her (already skimpy clothing) getting undone piece by piece (in fact the first one results in a NavelDeepNeckline).
*** And at the end of that challenge [[spoiler: which resulted in a draw]], Rio, whose hotpants were undone in the match, ends up absentmindedly [[DressHitsFloor dropping them]] in full view of the spectators, much to her horror.
** To date, the only time she never got hit with this trope is at episode 5.
** After not being hit with this trope for how many episodes, she gets hit again; in episode 10. This time, though, she actually {{lampshade|Hanging}}s it.
* The DVD versions of ''Anime/QueensBlade'' allows any nipple flashes that would naturally happen from [[{{Stripperiffic}} those outfits]] to take place. Most noticeable with Menace's version of the second season-ending, where she exposes her breasts with ''every step she takes''.
* Episode 7a of ''Manga/SakuraTrick'' promises one in the title, and delivers: Mitsuki's bikini top falls off.
* Episode seven of ''Anime/SandsOfDestruction'' deals with Morte ripping her skirt because Taupy [[SuggestiveCollision accidentally pushed Kyrie onto her]]. She doesn't notice; although everyone else does, they're all [[HairTriggerTemper too scared to tell her]].
* Downplayed in a skit in episode 3 of ''Manga/ServantXService''. The buxom Lucy has all hooks on her bra broken, and the tension was about how her coworkers get to resolve the issue while tiptoeing around the issue itself. Eventually, Yutaka claimed Lucy had a fever because of her blush and should "go back to rest;" the others immediately got the hint. No {{fanservice}} was even intended in the skit as she wears conservatively.
* ''Manga/SgtFrog'': Whenever Natsumi gets hit with the age ray in the manga, she always gets a wardrobe malfunction. Whether reverting back her regular age, and suddenly finding herself topless in front of a crowd of nerdy guys, or losing her ski suit to an explosion, it's pretty much a given.
* Happens all the time to ''Anime/SuperSonico'' in the many manga adaptations; about two of every three times she's wearing a bikini, her top will snap at some point. To make things worse for the poor girl, it usually happens at the worst possible moment, such as in the middle of a photo shoot, when she's in a stage giving a concert for millions, or when she's at the beach with everyone staring at her as she [[ItMakesSenseInContext rides her savior dolphin back to the coast]]. Official artworks tend to chronicle her many wardrobe malfunctions as well; one of them even shows her bikini top and bottom snapping ''at the same time''. The ultimate example, though, was in an episode of the anime, in which ''her whole costume melted in the middle of a concert''. [[NakedFreakOut Cue her horrified scream]]. The last case was also an example of [[InvokedTrope the trope being invoked]] since the costume was [[TheNudifier specifically designed to melt and leave its wearer in the buff]].
* Ryoko invokes this towards Ayeka in the fourth episode of ''Anime/TenchiMuyo''. The princess had just realized Tenchi was now in the girls' bath (again, thanks to Ryoko), and is caught in something of a daze by being in the baths with him. Realizing how prim, proper and utterly boring she's being, Ryoko livens things up by undoing the tie on Ayeka's towel, exposing her in front of Tenchi.
* ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'': {{Averted}} during the HotSpringsEpisode, when girl's {{Modesty Towel}}s are unraveling, Kamina eagerly looks, only to find out they were wearing bikinis under the towels. PlayedStraight at the end where [[https://image.myanimelist.net/ui/deJCBIjhVH3n2E4dyS9g2qg4GJFM50uHvTZljsmdGE0k87bB9O33duQGCMHnPNCfIt15bGWJPKpBnvXTX5-Mjw Yoko's bikini top falls off]] while she is jumping vigorously, prompting the boys to [[EatingTheEyeCandy stare]] and for her to have a NakedFreakOut as she runs away crying.
* ''Anime/TimeBokan'': In episode 2 Mirenjo starts an exhibition during the battle in a PomPomGirl outfit that ends with a Wardrobe Malfunction [[DistractedByTheSexy distracting for a second]] the heroes mecha.
* ''Manga/TomoChanIsAGirl'': Tomo is rather stacked and her bust has to [[SuppressedMammaries be binded]] for [[AttractiveBentGender her role as The Prince]] in the school play. Apparently it wasn't enough as they end up busting out of said bindings.
* Chapter 10 of ''Manga/UsotsukiParadox'' which has the male lead Youkadou strip the female lead Seiyuu of her bikini top leaving her topless and [[HandOrObjectUnderwear forcing her to hug Yukadou]] to avoid getting caught by her friends.
* In one of the mini-specials of ''Manga/YoureUnderArrest'', Natsumi and Miyuki pull over a RichBitch who uses [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections her daddy's connections]] to avoid consequences for her reckless driving. To get their revenge, later they pretend to be apologizing, and while Natsumi distracts her (loosening her dress straps), Miyuki pretends to check on her car and adjusts the oil cap. When the car breaks down later, she angrily gets out to check it, and then the dress comes loose, leaving her in bra and panties for everyone to see.

[[folder:Comic Books]]
* Happens with Lynn in the ''Series/{{Alf}}'' comic, when Alf, in order to stop Willie and Kate from going down the girl's throat about her new bikini being too revealing, sews a new, stylish and more modest swimsuit for her out of the seat-covers from his spaceship. Crisis averted -- until Lynn and her classmates go to the seaside and it turns out that the Melmacian fabric can take ''fresh'' water without any problems, but dissolves completely in saltwater.
* ''ComicBook/AllNewWolverine'': Experienced by Laura (ComicBook/{{X 23}}) in issue #22. After spending two weeks unconscious in a hospital bed, Laura gets up and demands to be taken to S.H.I.E.L.D. at once upon learning how long she was out, not realizing she has been {{undress|ingTheUnconscious}}ed and put into a hospital gown Gabby, who is standing behind her, suggests she might want to get dressed first because the gown has a very big opening in the back.
* Both ComicBook/AntMan and [[Characters/AntManHeroes The Wasp]] can be prone to this since they're both {{Sizeshifter}}s and their ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing. They need to [[MySuitIsAlsoSuper specially prepare their clothes for their powers]] in order not to fall out of them or rip them apart.
* ''ComicBook/ArchieComics'':
** A story in ''Veronica'' volume 201 had the girls discover a collection of old-style bathing suits and try them out in the water. The boys didn't really appreciate the cover-everything styles... until it became clear that the old fabric couldn't stand up to water anymore and disintegrated, leaving Betty, Veronica and the rest ''naked'' [[NakedPeopleTrappedOutside in the ocean]]. Heck, this even happened to ''Mrs. Lodge'' who tried out one of the suits at a pool party.
** In another Archie comic, Cheryl stole a dress that Veronica designed and wore it to a party just to laugh in her face - only to find out at that point what a bad seamstress Veronica was. The whole dress ripped apart in front of everyone. (Of course, as [[NakedFreakOut humiliating as that was for Cheryl]], the story didn't quite end on a high note for Ronnie either...)
* ''ComicBook/BlackMoonChronicles'': Early on in the series, Wismerhill and his friends develop a routine where Feydriva would suffer an "accidental" Wardrobe Malfunction when one of her [[ChainmailBikini breastplates]] falls off so that Pilou can steal the purse of any gentleman who is DistractedByTheSexy.
* In ''ComicBook/DangerGirl: Back In Black'', Sydney Savage learns the hard way that a zipped-down corset is not the best attire for bike riding and she has to fight off a snake that crept near it.

* In ''ComicBook/DoomPatrol 2009'' #7, the ComicBook/MetalMen are trying to stop [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever Giganta]] (Doris Zeus) when one of their attacks weakened her suit, resulting in a wardrobe malfunction when she stretches her arms, leaving the giantess topless in the middle of the street. [[DefeatByModesty She agrees to surrender]] in exchange for Platinum and Copper forming a giant bikini for her to wear.
* ''ComicBook/{{Empowered}}'': A super-powered variant occurs with Elissa. While attempting to show Ninjette and Thugboy her suit's {{invisibility}} powers by making her mask invisible, she accidentally ends up making the entire thing disappear... while wearing absolutely nothing underneath. Naturally, she also happens to have both hands stretched overhead as this happens ([[ItMakesSenseInContext to hold up a car]]), leaving her body completely exposed. Luckily for her, Ninjette is her best gal-pal who has [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl absolutely no hangups about nudity]], while Thugboy is her devoted boyfriend, while [[SceneryCensor the reader doesn't get to see anything]].
* In the ''Series/{{Smallville}} Season 11'' comic, [[Characters/WonderWomanTheCharacter Diana]]'s first adult encounter with her {{Childhood Friend|s}} [[Characters/WonderWomanAllies Steve Trevor]] ends up in one, when she ends up showing up at his apartment unannounced while [[ShowerOfAwkward he was showering]] and he ends up losing his ModestyTowel when he confronts her. Diana's InnocentInnuendo right after doesn't help
-->'''Diana:''' You have... certainly grown...\\
''[{{beat}}]''\\
'''Diana:''' [[ThatCameOutWrong I cannot believe I just said that...]]
* ''ComicBook/HarleyQuinn 2014'': In issue #11, Harley finds an amnesiac ComicBook/PowerGirl and takes her to her home, where she promptly falls unconscious, and Harley gets an idea to convince Kara that she's her {{Sidekick}}. To help sell the illusion, Harley had tailor-made matching costumes for her and Kara, based on Power Girl's IconicOutfit (with a Harley Quinn twist). She then [[UndressingTheUnconscious undresses Kara]] and puts her in the new costume. When Kara awakens, due to her muscular and tall physique the costumes immediately burst under the strain the moment she gets up, leaving her standing there nude save for SceneryCensor provided by Harley's head.
* In the first issue of the original ''ComicBook/LadyRawhide'' mini-series, Lady Rawhide's breast does actually pop out of her costume for a panel. There had been jokes ever since the character debuted about how she managed to stay in her {{Stripperiffic}} outfit.
* Happens to ''ComicBook/PowerGirl'' in issue #9 of her series. Right after she steps out of the shower, someone slides an envelope under the door containing pictures compromising her SecretIdentity. Kara instantly bolts out clad in a ModestyTowel to chase after the perpetrator, who's just a kid. Dashing down the stairs, she manages to collar him, at which point her towel falls off, giving the kid and a neighbor a full-frontal (covered by SceneryCensor to the viewer).

* ''Series/GeneralHospital'': During the years of the annual Port Charles Nurses' Ball (1994-2001, 2013-), a RunningGag was that Lucy Coe would somehow always wind up on stage in her underwear at the end of the show ... often because of a rival's plotting.

It's one of the few times the band has had to use a CensorBox in their videos. Given that they could have just done another take, it was either intentional or they decided to ThrowItIn [[RuleOfFunny because it was funny]].

* The [[https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1940/01/06 January 1940]] cover of [[Magazine/TheNewYorker The New Yorker]] is a Peter Arno cartoon with a dancing couple consisting of a worried-looking man noticing that the back of the woman's dress is coming undone.

[[folder:Pro Wrestling]]
* {{Defied|Trope}}, but in between traveling between ''Deep South Wrestling'' and ''PGWA'' in 2007, Melissa Coates experimented with ring gear that ended up having her fighting off wardrobe malfunctions as much as pin and submission attempts.
* In her autobiography ''Wrestling/TheFabulousMoolah'', (who was a part of what may have been the second generation of female professional wrestlers in the Americas) recounts one night in Oklahoma City in the early 1950s when a man lurking in the crowd [[MalignedMixedMarriage tried to stab her for kissing a male wrestler who was clearly non-white]] (apparently not knowing or caring about Moolah's own Native American heritage). He succeeded only in ripping off her bikini top with the knife, leaving her topless, before he was tackled by arena security. To calm down the crowd, Moolah immediately remarked: [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments "Well, he saw what he wanted to see, didn't he?"]]
* ''Series/TotalDivas'' made a storyline out of an incident where Wrestling/{{Layla}} El pulled Wrestling/RosaMendes tights and exposed her ass as she was climbing into the ring. The storyline had Rosa noticing that her Instagram followers increased after the incident, and wondering if she'd be able to stage a second to get even more followers.
* ''Wrestling/{{WWE}}'': One of the {{Easter Egg}}s on the ''WWE Divas South of the Border'' [=DVD=] is a [[HilariousOuttakes Blooper Reel]] which includes a scene of Wrestling/TorrieWilson [[SexySurfacingShot walking out of the water in a bikini]] and her top sort of falling forward but her breasts were covered by a [[CensorBox cross out circle]]. She said, "You can't use that anyway."
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Puppet Shows]]
* The incident with Sophie Marceau's dress at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival was repeatedly mocked on ''Series/LesGuignolsDeLInfo'', each time implying it to be less and less accidental.
* ''Series/TheMuppets2015'': Parodied on "[[Recap/TheMuppetsS1E12ATailOfTwoPiggies A Tail of Two Piggies]]" when Miss Piggy's on the Red Carpet wearing a dress with a very low plunging backline and her [[FurryReminder curly tail]] slips out. Seems that in the Muppet universe, pigs' tails are taboo. Lamenting that she has to hide her piggy-ness, she's inspired to create [[EngineeredHashtag [=#UnveilTheTail=]]] in order to empower other pigs to proudly show their tails.
* In one cartoon segment of ''Series/SesameStreet'', the buttons pop off of a boy's pants, exposing his butt. Two birds discuss what to do, before flying down to lift the flap back up.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Theatre]]
* ''Theatre/MeanGirls'': Happens to Regina during that talent show number, due to the fact that (thanks to the Kalteen bars) her skirt no longer fits and the makeshift holders she created for it failed mid-performance. This incident [[InstantHumiliationJustAddYouTube goes viral on Instagram]], and causes Regina to begin falling out of favor with the student body.
* In the last scene of ''Theatre/TheWomen'', a recent victim of this makes a bit-part appearance, desperately seeking a safety pin to mend the broken shoulder strap of her dress.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Video Games]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Aquapazza}}'': Sasara magically dismisses her halberd and shield as part of some of her {{Victory Pose}}s. Only she sometimes also dismisses her armor, leaving her in a strapless leotard that she finds quite embarrassing.
* PlayedForLaughs in the ending of ''VideoGame/Bayonetta2'', when Jeanne discovers her outfit was slashed in a very... revealing spot, forcing her into a BackToBackBadasses pose with Bayonetta.
* ''VideoGame/ConquestsOfCamelot'': When Arthur throws the mirror to Mari and she leans out the window to catch it, her dress slips down [[FreezeFrameBonus for a single frame]] to reveal EGA nipples.
* ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'': When Lord Raptor "uncurls" for his intro animation, his pants slip down, and before he pulls them up you can briefly see his [[FanDisservice bare, bony behind]] as he's GoingCommando.
* ''VideoGame/ElfBowling'': In the second game, on occasion, an elf being lifted up from the party going on belowdecks will have his swimsuit [[StrippingSnag catch on a piece of the mechanism and snap]], leaving a {{pixellat|ion}}ed blur in its place. It doesn't last long, though, as the swimsuit reappears for the player to use in flinging the elf down the deck.
* ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'': The [[ModestyTowel towel-wearing]] Ryoma and Camilla from the [[HotSpringsEpisode Hostile Springs]] event both suffer a wardrobe malfunction, which reveals they are clearly wearing ModestyShorts under their towels.
* ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasy'':
** [[DraconicHumanoid Grea's]] outfit has become a bit memetic with fans for a problem it has... with her dragon tail. Her school has a fairly standard, if somewhat fancy, {{Joshikousei}} outfit for the girls. Except that Grea's skirt hasn't, uh, been modified for her tail. As a result, her SR portrait in particular looks rather like it's ''{{mooning}}'' everyone all the time. (This was less of a problem in ''VideoGame/RageOfBahamut'' because her tail wasn't as ''thick'', but in Granblue it's gigantic.)
** Airi's charge attack ends with her bust PoppingButtons off of her top, causing it to fire off like a bullet.
** Let's just say, Forte's "Draph Assets" cracked her armor's breastplate. Her initial design from ''VideoGame/RageOfBahamut'' has Forte's armor fit comfortably with her form, but due to her transition to the Draph race, it was inevitable.
* ''VideoGame/GravityRush'': At the end of the ninth episode, Kat is clad in a ModestyTowel back in the Pipe House white she washing [[LimitedWardrobe the only outfit she has]], when Syd visits her. After they interact, she (jokingly) punches him in the arm, which causes her towel to accidentally fall off, right in front of Syd. Cue NakedFreakOut.
* ''VideoGame/HyperdevotionNoireGoddessBlackHeart'': Happens to Ai in her specific scene, when she's tussling with Noire. It looks like Ai has the upper hand, but then her bikini top falls off.
* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsThroughDaybreak'': After a battle, Judith's transformation wears off and she is left in a bathrobe. While talking to Van, her bathrobe falls open, giving him an eyeful. She slaps him.
* Teddie attempts to [[InvokedTrope invoke]] this on the girls during the beach trip in ''[[VideoGame/Persona4 Persona 4 Golden]]''. It ends up being a double subversion, because while the girls didn't suffer Teddie's intended wardrobe malfunction, somebody did:
--> '''Kanji''': Holy shit, the wardrobe malfunction was mine!
* In ''VideoGame/SecretAgentClank'', Franchise/{{Ratchet|AndClank}} and the more humanoid enemies only wear {{Modesty Towel}}s in the showers and will drop upon taking damage, leaving them with {{Censor Box}}es).
* ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'': It's for a small fraction of a second, and it automatically corrects itself, but Birdie's pants fall down exposing his ass during his Bull Head attack.
* ''VideoGame/TaisenHotGimmickForever'', a mahjong game where defeating an opponent gives the player the option to punish them which, male or female, usually involves the character [[StripPoker having to strip]]. Akiko Daimon is a muscular woman wearing just a sports bra and thong, and is also a member of her school's bodybuilding club. For her punishment, the player can have her do bench presses topless, or flex her biceps, which causes her sports bra to tear off.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Visual Novels]]
* ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'':
** ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair'': Hiyoko's been wearing the same traditional Japanese dancing clothes for a long time, because the clothing is apparently so complicated she can't tie her obi by herself without suffering a wardrobe malfunction (which means if she were to take the clothing off she wouldn't be able to put it back on), which means she hasn't bathed in a while. This ends up being important in Chapters 2's trial as it proves [[spoiler:she couldn't have showered Mahiru's blood off her if she cannot re-dress herself afterward, as Mahiru was the one who was helping her dress.]]
** This ends up happening to both [[spoiler:Kirumi]] and [[spoiler: Maki]] at the end of their respective Argument Armament. Both times they're using HandOrObjectUnderwear to cover themselves.
* ''VisualNovel/LiarUncoverTheTruth'': This happens to {{The Hero}}ine's cheating boyfriend when he's trying to chase her, dropping his ModestyTowel in the lobby. He only notices once he starts to notice all the catcalls he's getting.
* ''VisualNovel/MajikoiLoveMeSeriously'': When Stacy is having a splash fight with Yamato, her top comes off and vanishes never to be seen again. Yamato doesn't even pretend he didn't see anything, much to her irritation.
* ''VisualNovel/PrincessEvangile'': During Chapter 2 of Ruriko's route, Masaya experiences a Wardrobe Malfunction, [[NakedPeopleAreFunny with Ruriko bearing witness to him in his birthday suit.]] She describes the moment as "Like the [[Art/{{David}} Statue of David]]".

[[folder:Web Animation]]
* ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'': In "You're Bakin' Me Crazy!", Lumpy answers the door wearing nothing but a towel, which is blown away by the wind, [[NakedFreakOut causing Giggles and Lumpy to both scream.]]
* ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'': The WebAnimation/StrongBadEmail "stand up" features an old home movie of Strong Bad as a kid, doing a comedy routine for the school talent show. His act is bad enough, but then his pants fall down onstage and he trips running away in embarrassment.
* ''WebAnimation/TheRealLegend'': The Ice Cavern scene ends when Sheik's {{Sarashi}} snaps and "his" considerable chest flops down.
* The ''WebAnimation/SoThisIsBasically'' episode for ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' concludes with the villainess having a Wardrobe Malfunction and commenting "Oh, my tit fell out" while an actual [[GagCensor tit bird blocks said slip]].

[[folder:Webcomics]]
* When Rawn and Coven first meet in ''Webcomic/AccursedDragon'', Coven orders her to cast a levitation spell on him. It works, but only on his clothes (and sword), [[https://accurseddragon.com/comic/6 leaving him in his underwear.]]
* The title character of ''Bridgette's Belly''. Basically any time her belly grows larger (whether from pregnancy, overeating, or both) and she isn't wearing stretchy pants. Her formal dress pretty much ''exploded'' [[spoiler:while pregnant with twins]].
* In ''Webcomic/CKarrus'' Juline experiences this frequently but doesn't seem to care.
* ''Webcomic/EerieCuties'': Deliberately invoked by naughty [[SuccubiAndIncubi succubus Chloe]] as bait for Blair. [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/eerie-cuties/2012-03-19 "Oopsie! wardrobe malfunction!"]]
* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', [[http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp.php?id=205 this is a possible result of dynamic morphs]], which has happened many times to Tedd.
* ''Webcomic/EnnuiGo'': Darcy [[ExploitedTrope uses one to her advantage]] in "Planned" (NSFW), when a perfectly-timed failure of her costume's top, combined with her faux-embarrassed reaction, helps her win a cosplay contest.
%%* A RunningGag with Princess Peonie in ''Webcomic/{{Exiern}}'', mostly PlayedForLaughs.
* One post from ''Gracieland'' has Gracie and Anthony waiting at the bus stop on their first day back to school. The first two panels show only the top half of what the two are wearing, with Gracie assuring that she's well-prepared for whatever situation may occur, all while Anthony is squirming uncomfortably. [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3GvXDRXNMR8/UD5PHWOXcII/AAAAAAAAAPs/vAChNoL_5K0/s1600/Gracieland+44.jpg It's only until the final panel that it's revealed Gracie has forgotten to change into her school uniform and is still in her undies]].

* ''Webcomic/LasLindas'': Happens in [[https://laslindas.kemono.cafe/comic/ll0172/ Page 172]] (which is aptly titled "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Wardrobe malfunction]]") to [[BreakTheHaughty Alejandra]] when she gets her PimpedOutDress [[StrippingSnag snagged off]] by a falling Idward in front of a crowd and [[DeerInTheHeadlights stands there in shock]] before she has a NakedFreakOut.
* ''Webcomic/MenageA3'': Lynn apparently [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/menage-a-3/frog-splash/ once suffered one on live TV.]]
%%* A rather petty piece of divine intervention in ''Webcomic/{{Misfile}}'' results in one of these.
* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'': Happens to Haley in [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0035.html "Rogues Gone Wild!"]], and [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0036.html the following strip]] mentions it by name.
* ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'': [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1675 "Oh no! The levee broke!"]]

The resulting NakedFreakOut is powerful enough to break the SlaveCollar before Raine exposes herself... [[http://twokinds.keenspot.com/comic/1080 but then]] she [[VictoryPose jumps in the air in celebration]] causing her top to fall off ''anyway''. Thankfully she manages to catch in time. When Raine calls out Rose for it, she says if he had gotten an eyeful she would have just [[LaserGuidedAmnesia wiped out his memories of it]].

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}}'', Nikki wears a long, purple dress in order to impress a boy (not Jonesy), and stands too close to the going-down escalator. [[StrippingSnag Guess what happens?]]
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'': Malory hires a black Jewish man to fulfill minority hiring requirements, and Archer confronts him in the locker room, with both wearing {{Modesty Towel}}s. When they end up nearly fighting, both towels fall off.
--> '''Lana:''' Wh-what do we even know about him?\\

'''Lana:''' Okay. Glossing over ''how'' you know that...\\
'''Archer:''' We touched penises.\\
'''Lana:''' No! ''Glossing!''
* Doctor Blight in ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers'', when she squeezes into a pair of her sister's shorts in an attempt to disguise herself as her sister. As Blight sits down, she splits the shorts.
* Disney animated shorts saw this happen to WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck on several occasions:
** ''Bellboy Donald'' (1942): Donald loses his entire bellboy uniform as a troublesome child sticks part of it between an elevator door... and the elevator moves, completing the deed. [[HandOrObjectUnderwear Hand covers crotch]] and [[LuminescentBlush deep blush]] immediately follows.
** ''WesternAnimation/TeaForTwoHundred'' (1948): Donald digs for food stolen by ants inside their hole. Rather pull the food out, they pull his entire outfit ''in'', leaving him above ground completely naked. [[HandOrObjectUnderwear Moment of embarrassment]] follows.
** ''Hook, Lion, and Sinker'' (1950): As Donald is cooking in his kitchen, two lions steal fish stacked on the windowsill, one at a time, bucket-brigade style. Having run out of fish but assuming there is more to steal, the next items blindly grabbed --in order and sequentially -- are his chef's hat, matching bib, his entire outfit, Donald ''himself'', and the gun he was holding ''before'' being tossed out the window. Cartoon logic in this backward order; after the brigade is out of items, Donald, once again fully clothed and armed, greets them on the far end.
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'':
** The plot for "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS4E14PTV PTV]]" kicks off with Creator/DavidHydePierce's scrotum falling out during the Emmys, in a thinly disguised parody of the {{Trope Namer|s}}. Peter missed the incident because he was forced to see Meg's play. The same episode directly parodied it during a rapid-fire montage at the end of the "Freakin' FCC" song with a clip of Peter flashing his nipple.
** What gets Cleveland fired as a mailman in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS21E5UnzippedCode Unzipped Code]]"; during the sexy calendar shoot, one of Cleveland's testicles was exposed, while he was wearing the company uniform, no less.

* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'': {{Sidekick}} Ron Stoppable's falling-pants is a {{running gag}} that happens OncePerEpisode. When it happens in the AmnesiaEpisode, it triggers Kim's memories of him.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'': In an episode where Lincoln films his sisters doing embarrassing things around the house one of the things he captures is punk rocker, Luna jumping up and performing the splits only to split her pants.
* In ''WesternAnimation/PetPals'', Madame's dress gets ripped off after Top Hat accidentally closes the car door on it. She is then subjected to humiliation by being flashed by photographers. This may or may not be an enforced example since part of the scene appears in the trailer and it happens ''6 minutes into the movie itself.''
* ''WesternAnimation/PoundPuppies1980s'' had one in the episode "A Tail of a Pup" where the Safety pin on Whopper's diaper came undone and it fell off.
* ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' has a cloth-ripping incident happening [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WU0kCW1uz08 during a chase scene...]] for [[TheFunInFuneral the funeral of]] Creator/BennyHill, fittingly.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
** Happens to Homer Simpson's salamander costume at the end of "See Homer Run" where he tries to run for Mayor of Springfield.
** Homer also fell victim to this trope in "Treehouse Of Horror III":

''[the hem of his toga snags on a loose nail as he's coming down the basement stairs]''\\
'''Cloth of toga:''' RRRIIIIIPPP!
** In "Trash Of The Titans", Music/{{U2}} is hanging out at Moe's during the musical number "The Garbage Man Can":
--->'''[=U2=]:''' (''singing in unison'') The sanitation folks are jolly friendly blokes, courteous and easy-going...
--->'''The Edge:''' They mop up when you're overflowing...
--->(''A Garbage Man whispers something to Bono'')
--->'''Bono:''' And tell you when your arse is showing.
--->(''The members of [=U2=] pull up their pants in unison'')
* In the ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' episode "Good Times with Weapons", Cartman walks onto a stage stark naked, believing in his (imaginary) power to turn {{invisib|ility}}le. When put on the spot about this "scandalous" display, he replies, "I told you, it was a wardrobe malfunction!"
* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'': [=SpongeBob=] rips his pants accidentally while trying to lift weights; he then does this intentionally because it makes people laugh.
* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'': In "[[Recap/TotalDramaXtremeTorture X-Treme Torture]]", Heather's top gets [[StrippingSnag stuck in a tree branch and comes off]] while she was trying to cheat by cutting Harold's rope. He still loses the challenge after getting {{distracted|ByTheSexy}} by the view.
