Line 98:
* ''[[A Growing Affection]]'' has a handful of extended clothing descriptions, but most notably:
** ''The main portion of {{spoiler|Hinata}}'s gown was a shimmering, medium-weight, pure white silk mikado. The edges of the fabric were all stitched with a golden filigree of small, overlapping triangles. The bride's dress was strapless like those of her attendants. But the pale beauty's bodice was so perfectly fitted it almost appeared to be paint instead of fabric. It clung tightly to every curve of her exquisite breasts, dipping slightly between her cleavage. The gown wrapped around her toned stomach, revealing the slight indent of her navel. The upper portion of the dress also had short sleeves connected under her arms, covering from the middle of her biceps to just above {{spoiler|Hinata}}'s elbows. Unlike her friends, the young woman wore no gloves, and her engagement ring shone brightly on her finger. The ivory material split just below the waist, creating a wide slit in front while the rest of the dress flared out dramatically, flowing around her in vertical pleats. A cape-like extension off the back of the bodice and sleeves added an additional layer to the back of the gown. The silk ended a full six-inches above the floor. Underneath there was an underskirt of pale lavender, but unlike the white silk this part of the dress had a matte finish. The second layer went all the way to the floor, and as was also visible through the gap in the front. The bride wore a simple silver circlet on her head, with a veil of lace hanging out of the headpiece down to just below her chin.''
* ''[[The Return (fanfic)|The Return]]'' by Sunshine Temple -- especially in its 2017-18 rewrite -- has long, multi-paragraph passages which linger lovingly on succubus![[Ranma ½|Ranma]]'s various outfits -- not just her skimpy leather garb, but her Company uniforms, personal armor and even [[Sailor Moon|Senshi]] uniforms/gowns.

* [[Takarazuka]] Revue productions. The costuming budget on those things must be higher than the gross domestic product of many third-world countries.
* Galadriel in the Toronto production of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''. It was the headdress that did it. Notably, they changed her costume for the London production, but it was still quite opulent.
* [[Cirque Du Soleil]] shows, to the point that the company's 25th anniversary book (2009) was a retrospective of costumes from all the shows over the years! Especially costume-riffic shows include ''Alegria'', ''"O"'', and ''KA''.
* Most productions of ''[[The Phantom of the Opera]]'' turn out like this (including the film), particularly during the "Masquerade" song.

* In his review of ''[[Darksiders]]'', Yahtzee Croshaw of [[Zero Punctuation]] claims that this is a problem in [[World of Warcraft]], [[Warhammer 40,000]], and the game being reviewed. He goes at length [https://web.archive.org/web/20100725111954/http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/columns/extra-punctuation/7071-Extra-Punctuation-Darksiders here].
