* WhoWearsShortShorts

** The girls of ''Anime/SmilePrettyCure'' all share a {{Feather Motif}}s with lots of little variations to their outfits like everyone has a half skirt tied on their back in a different shape, different shaped ChestBow the {{Tomboy}}ish Cure Sunny and Cure March are lacking in the frills a bit on their skirt and shoulders for easier action and Cure Sunny is the only one to wear ZettaiRyouiki.

** ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure''

** ''Anime/FreshPrettyCure''

* In ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' the MahouShoujo [[ShowWithinAShow Biblion]] series with a MagicalGirl duo Biblio Pink Tulip and Biblio Red Rose, the MagicalGirl costume is Standard SailorFuku with [[AnimalEaredHeadband Cat and Rabbit ears]] and tails respectively. First appears in an ImagineSpot with Nodoka and Yue, Makie and Ayaka wear the same outfit later on for the Cosplay and the fight in side the computer system.

* Team Alchemical in ''Webcomic/SleeplessDomain'' plays this straight, with bows, HairDecs, and poofy skirts galore. The other magical girls in the series tend to have more practical outfits.

No MagicalGirl can be complete without a spiffy costume, decked out with frills and bling. While there are a huge variety of styles when it comes to such costumes, the pervading theme seems to be colorful, very girly, highly unlikely fighting gear meant to appeal to RuleOfCool, RuleOfCute, or RuleOfGlamorous and whose impracticality never seems to get in the way of their ability to take out the bad guys. ImpossiblyCoolClothes is definitely in effect here. Usually SuspensionOfDisbelief is required to believe such a costume is ideal for fighting, though occasionally there will be a {{Handwave}} in the form of an explicit mention that the protection of the outfit is magical.

** Cure Soleil from ''Anime/StarTwinklePrecure'' also fits this trope with her dress resembling a Rumba Dress (which is fitting for her since she is half Mexican).

Other elements may include items from the CuteWitch motif (which at one point was what MagicalGirl meant), i.e. a [[RobeAndWizardHat witch hat]], and echoes of actual armor, like shoulder pads, arm bracers and such, though rarely actual armor. Magical girls who go through a [[MidSeasonUpgrade mid-season]], [[SoLastSeason new season]] or [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands plot-related]] power upgrade will often get a FrillyUpgrade for their costume to match.

* HairDecorations

** Chisame cosplays as "Rouland Rouge" its suppose to be the DarkMagicalGirl of the series, outfit is a Black SailorFuku with black kitty like ears, bat wings, and a devil's tail with ZettaiRyouiki the character is suppose to be very innocent "shy crybaby" supporting the personality of ZettaiRyouiki.

* In ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' the MahouShoujo [[ShowWithinAShow Biblion]] series with a MagicalGirl duo Biblio Pink Tulip ♥ and Biblo Red Rose ♥, the MagicalGirl costume is Standard SailorFuku with [[AnimalEaredHeadband Cat and Rabbit ears]] and tails respectively. First appears in an ImagineSpot with Nodoka and Yue, Makie and Ayaka wear the same outfit later on for the Cosplay and the fight in side the computer system.

* CurtainsMatchTheWindows

* ''ComicBook/WonderWomanAndTheStarRiders'': ComicBook/WonderWoman wears a tutu-like skirt with a lacy underskirt, star print tights, and a cape, bracelets/vambraces, boots and top in magenta. Dolphine's got blue and teal tights, a skirt made of lace with a sparkly cape skirt in back, a crown-like hair piece, and a scalloped edged neck covering that looks like a tight-fitting medieval hood or gugel that's had the actual hood part removed. Ice is essentially a palate swap of Dolphine with a different skirt, the odd neck covering transformed into the top of a proper cape and a wand. Star Lily is wearing a gigantic flower made of lace on her back, flower accents at the top of her boots and around her collar and a multi-layered flower petal like skirt.

* Spoofed by ''Webcomic/AgentsOfTheRealm'' - while the dresses are nice and appreciated, the first time the girls have to pursuit a monster on foot, they have to pause and disentangle the frills from the branches of the forest they are running through.
* Played straight in ''Webcomic/LeifAndThorn'' - you can get a rough idea of a magical girl's power by [[http://leifandthorn.com/comic/thorn-explains-mages/ how fancy and bejeweled their outfit is]].

* The ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'' - some of their fairy forms are very frilly.

* ''Webcomic/ApricotCookies'': Starlet Pony's magical girl outfit is a large, fluffy dress with roses pinned in her hair.

* MiniDressOfPower - A typical form for these outfits is a short dress.

* PrincessCurls
* MegaTwinTails

* ''Series/{{Batman}}'' has a peculiar, Western, non-MagicalGirl example: Batgirl's Batcycle. No, ''[[https://www.66batmania.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/batgirl_cycle1.jpg really.]]'' You'd think the curvier fairing and [[GracefulLadiesLikePurple purple]] paint job would be sufficiently femme...

** ''Anime/YesPrettyCure5'': A ButterflyMotif dominates the costumes. All pretty much follow the same design just PalletSwap gaining jackets in season 2 and a few frills for the first movie with [[PowerGivesYouWings Butterfly wings]] the only unique one is Shining Cure Dream from the second movie.
