Discussion Main / NonUniformUniform

• In Japanese schools where Sailor Fuku are the standard uniform, "bad girls" would often wear longer skirts than is required by the dress code, or just wear the winter version in the summer.
  • Subverted: In Sailor Moon, it looks like Makoto is one of those girls (that was apparently the intention in early design notes). She eventually gets a new one, but it was so distinctive as to stick around, with the Hand Wave that finding one in her size wasn't worth the trouble.
  • These kinds of girls were the target of a hit-and-run driver back in the day when Inspector Juuzou Megure was still a patrolling officer. One of them, Midori, was gravely injured while under his watch. She got better, though... and later she married him.
  • Kaorin imagines two girls in her class (Tomo and Yomi) dressing in these long skirts in an Azumanga Daioh dream sequence (Osaka goes with a spacy set of glasses, and Chiyo has a hat and black overcoat with a Shout-Out on the back); they accost her, so she can imagine Sakaki coming to her rescue.

These need to be put in individual examples or under the right show, rather than under then under a "general" heading. I don't know enough about the latter two shows to rephrase them, but I'll rewrite the Sailor Moon one and put it in the right spot

Is that image really applicable to this trope? X-Men custom uniforms are clearly made by some sort of machine. This trope should require nothing more technical than a pair of scissors to make, right?
