Pimped Out Dresses in Video Games.


Examples

  • Given the Costume Porn in Agarest Senki, this trope shows up several times.
    • Fiona in the second game wears a white dress and a black skirt both heavily trimmed in blue, and has a waist ribbon. Her child outfit is mostly the same, but the waist ribbon is smaller. Her singer outfit is a top and skirt, both mostly white with with blue and pink trimming, and the skirt has gold accessories on the waist.
    • Victoria, also in the second game, wears a Battle Ballgown with lots of ruffles edging her shoulders, neckline, skirt, and the two bits of metal overskirt.

  • Arc Rise Fantasia has quite a few.
  • Ar tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica has some. Cloche wears a double layer dress, that has a short blue underdress, a longer overdress, and loads of white feathers trimming her gloves. It turns out she doesn't know at first how to take the dress off without help.
  • Some of the NPC sprites in Astonishia Story are based on Real Life outfits, particularly this one, a Whole Costume Reference to Louise of Lorraine's (the wife of Henry III of France). It has a red overdress, a white petticoat, large frilled collar, and wide turned-back sleeves.
  • Barbie in Barbie Super Model has a few pimped-out dresses, which is to be expected from a game for little girls based around being a fashionable super model.
  • The queen in Battle Chess, whether it's the in-game dress with the ermine-trimmed hem, or the skimpy ermine-trimmed dress on the game covers.
  • Some girls in the BlazBlue and Guilty Gear series are Kicking Ass in All Her Finery with fancy dresses.
  • Princess Fillet of Brave Fencer Musashi wears a white dress with a pleated underskirt, an overskirt edged with alternating chevrons of white and red, a large red bow on her collar and hair, little red bows holding her bodice together like buttons, undersleeves that are like scarves, and a belt.
  • Princess Karen in Brave Soul wears a pink dress with gold trimming, ruffled cuffs and collar, and a green jewel at the front of the neck.
  • The Castlevania series is no stranger to this trope.
    • The women in the Ghost Dancer enemies always wore dresses with frills and ruffles, starting with The Dancing Specters in Super Castlevania IV.
    • Camilla in Castlevania: Circle of the Moon word a pink and red dress with frills trimming the sleeves and neckline, and the skirt made of flowing fabric, that was bunched up in the back that made it look like a waist ribbon.

    • Shanoa of Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia wears a black dress with armor on the gauntlets, leggings, bodice, and down the sides of her skirt, and the armor has gold trimming.
    • Given the Costume Porn in Castlevania: Judgment, this trope shows up a bit, but the most dress-like outfit is Maria's, a pink dress with trimmings of ruffles, loops, crosses, and belts.
  • The Guardia royal dress in Chrono Trigger is a (mostly) white dress with puff sleeves, a puffy skirt with two layers of overskirt, High-Class Gloves, and ruffles edging most of it. Queen Zeal wears a gold dress with purple trimming. Schala's relatively simple dress has hanging sleeves and a white-trimmed collar.
  • Some of the outfits in the DanceDanceRevolution are fancy enough to count, notably Jun, who wears two different fancy Sexy Whatever Outfits. In the first three "Hottest Party" games, she wears a version of a Japanese Goddess with a floating stole. In the next two games, she wears an Angel Gothic Lolita dress with white or black feathers.
  • Dark Souls has at least a couple. Princess Gwynevere wears a white and gold dress with lace trimming, hanging sleeves, and a strip of fabric wrapped around her legs like a skirt.

  • Lucrecia's dress in Dirge of Cerberus is white with a guazy stole, midriff cut on the side, and frills trimming the skirt.
  • Princess Rozalin's dress in Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories just might be the most extravagant out in the Disgaea series, which is a series not hurting for fancy costumes in the first place. It's loaded with petticoats, flounces, detached sleeves, ribbons, pearls, jewels, bows, jewel encrusted bows, gold-laced shoes, wings (which, while not technically part of the costume, are held in a way to resemble the biggest shoulderpads known to man), and a matching pink designer gun. Plus she wears that outfit anywhere, even into battle.
  • In Disney Princess: Enchanted Journey, this is present on you, the Disney Princesses, and the villain, Zara.
  • In Divinity: Original Sin II, Lizard NPCs generally wear the most opulent gowns, headdresses, and jewellery they can; one NPC recounts how Hannag appeared out of nowhere at his rural home in "incredible" golden robes. In lore, the Lizards place great importance on taking care of their bodies, so clothing is a way to show them off.

    • Princess Lora in Dragon Quest wears a golden dress with puff sleeves, frills at the bottom of the skirt, and a purple waist ribbon.

  • The Emerald Princess you fight a couple times in Dream World wears at least two dresses, one a relatively simple green dress with gold trimming, and another a more fancy green dress with woven silver trimming, and a High Collar of Doom that looks as though it's made out of colored light or mist.
  • Characters from Dynasty Warriors:

  • Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City: The Battle Ballgowns worn by the Princess class have loads of embroidery, fur trimming, gold trimming and armor plating, and frilled edging.
  • Both princesses in Fat Princess wear dresses with frills and ribbons.
  • The Final Fantasy series has no shortage of these.
    • Princess Sarah in Final Fantasy wears a white dress with the skirt sides slashed to show a layered green underskirt.
    • Hilda in Final Fantasy II wears a light blue dress with flowers embroidered on the skirt, a large ribbon wrapped just under the waist, and a long blue cape lined with embroidered purple.
    • Princess Sara in Final Fantasy III, at least the Video Game Remake on the DS, wears a dress of several shades of blue, a long overdress, and an underskirt of blue and gold. Some of Refia's class outfits in the remake look like fancy dresses, while they look like robes on the other characters.
    • Rosa of Final Fantasy IV got a rather extensive upgrade for the DS version - they added even more jewels, a tiara, and a second cape apparently made of lace, as well as lace tights and sleeves.
    • In Final Fantasy VI, Celes wore a white dress when impersonating Maria. The game sprites showed mainly a white dress with the skirt open to reveal the petticoat, but the FMV in the Updated Re-release on the PlayStation showed the dress as an 18th century style dress, that had loads of frills, lace, and embroidery, with a small box at the center of the scooped neckline.
    • Edea's dress in Final Fantasy VIII had a feather neckline, a jagged skirt, and a cape-like accessory that grew out of her back and was like a gold half circle with two white translucent strips on each side.
    • Garnet's grand white, lacy, beaded dress in Final Fantasy IX, as well as Lani's Mini Dress Of Power being pimped out as well.
    • There are some in Final Fantasy X. Yuna's summoner dress has a pleated skirt with a white flower motif on part of it, and a huge yellow waist sash. Her wedding dress had a five-foot-long train that was trimmed and lined with white feathers, a pair of feathery wings on the back, and her veil was long enough to reach the ground and extend past her train. She also had a tiara, gloves, and in addition to her actual bouquet, there was another one in the middle of her wings. Lulu's dress has an even crazier design, with the gigantic black lace, the low-cut fur collar, and an underskirt made of practically three gazillion belts. Ironically, it's easier to pull off than Yuna's wedding dress (what with fur, lace, and even the gajillion belts being easier to find/make than hundreds of pure-white feathers), but even then a common cosplayer complaint is that they need at least two people to help them walk from the weight of the belt-skirt.
    • Many of the dressspheres in Final Fantasy X-2 are pimped out. Yuna's default gunslinger outfit has a white bustier and a blue side Showgirl Skirt that has three layers each with white frilled edging.

Queen Andoria wears a blue dress where the blue goes in a gradient that turns white at the bottom, the shoulders have several layers of fabric, hanging sleeves, a fancy embroidered design on the chest, a thick belt with a clover-like design, and a huge circular headdress that flares out like a skirt and has a huge strip of fabric hanging from the back.
