* Merida of ''WesternAnimation/{{Brave}}'' does this so she can shoot during the archery contest. Not the skirt, but the back, shoulders, and sleeves... by flexing, quite realistically.

* Calista does so in ''VideoGame/TheLastStory'' when the Gurak attack Lazulis Castle during her engagement announcement. Though five minutes later, you pass by her room and she can duck in to change into something more appropriate.
** You also get to keep the torn dress as a piece of armor exclusive to Calista. It has appalling stats and can't be upgraded, but keeps its {{Fanservice}} appeal and can even be dyed different colors!
