Huh, I would've sworn that "keeping an outfit even after the original reason for wearing it is long gone" (eg, someone in their 20s still wearing their high school uniform) was the definition at one point, though you're right, it's not now. The history is blank (except for a null edit I made to see if I could get it to magically reappear), so we can't check to see if/when it was actually changed.
That said, there are definitely examples of both definitions listed on the page... I think. The actual trope-as-defined-on-the-page is rather vague.
Really from Jupiter, but not an alien.
Split this, I'd say. And hit whoever named/redefined this with a wrench.

Hi
Agreeing with the split, taking the "exaggerated costume" theme to its own trope with a new name.

Sandbox.Costume Inertia for the trope that will take this trope's name. I am not sure what the current trope should be named.

... Costume Exaggeration? Exaggerated Costume?
EDIT: Spruced up the sandbox some.

Hi
Crowner's hooked.
Redefining and moving the current trope has 7 supports and no opposes.
...which is why we are bumping for votes, as 7's nowhere near enough.

13 votes is a bit too little. Let's go with 15 votes, shall we?

We've got 15; calling it for the proposed solution.

Since we seem to already have a description for the other trope, let's come up with names for the current trope.

Costume Fanservice seems to be about things like French Maid.
Costume Pandering, then?

Costume Exaggeration seems like the most straightforward title to me.
Really from Jupiter, but not an alien.
I like that as well, though it may sound like it's about things like Scary Impractical Armor.
Depending on the example, it might be.
The image for Scary Impractical Armor really would be an example of Costume Exaggeration, really.

As a note, Sandbox.Costume Inertia is going to have the name Costume Inertia, as per the Single Proposition crowner. We are picking the name for the trope currently on Costume Inertia, and for that I am going to make an Alt Names crowner.

Hi
Titles crowner is hooked.
Votes bump!
- Costume Exaggeration: 5 aye/ 1 nay.
- Overdone Costume: 4 aye/ 1 nay.
- Overblown Costume: 3 aye/ 1 nay.
All else in the red.

The picture of Sakura in her schoolgirl outfit... where should that go? It does technically fit both (since it's an exaggerated schoolgirl outfit), and an excellent example of Inertia, but there's no way of knowing that she's in her twenties without the caption.

Crown Description:
Vote up for yes, down for no.
The vast majority of use of this trope on the site uses this to mean "someone keeps using a costume even when they should have moved on," like still wearing a school outfit after graduating. The name certainly sounds like it. However, it's really about someone wearing an exaggerated version of an outfit. That... seems utterly unrelated to the name, and many, many examples (probably because the name is so non-indicative). It either needs a rename, a split, or the description changed.
