It becomes necessary (or desirable) for a female character to take her clothes off in a non-cable show.
 
We cut to a shot of her slipping her dress off her shoulders -- thenshoulders—then we cut down behind her feet and see the dress tumble to the floor around her legs.
 
See also [[Sexy Discretion Shot]]. Often overlaps with [[Toplessness From the Back]], [[Sexy Coat Flashing]]. If the woman in question is barefoot, this can lead to a minor bit of [[Foot Focus]].

* Several in ''[[Xena: Warrior Princess]]'', including two 'Shipperiffic ones: "The Reckoning" (ohdearpowers...) and "The Bitter Suite".
* A variant on the tropetrope—with -- with knickers -- occursknickers—occurs in ''[[The Last Enemy]]''. Included the "Arm Bra" -- an—an above-chest shot with said character holding her bra in her outstretched hand.
* Occurred with an episode of ''[[Kung Fu The Legend Continues]]''.
* When Anya "seduces" (in the "loosest" sense of the word) Xander for the first time in ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''. "Please remove your clothes now." And the amazing thing? "Still more romantic than Faith."

* ''[[NCIS]]''
** The episode "Under Covers". And there was much [[Squee]] until after the opening credits.
** In "Murder 2.0", a woman turns on her shower, [[Dress Hits Floor]] (more like bra hits floor), her husband puts on mood music, then [[Nightmare Fuel|blood starts spurting from the shower.]]
* In the season 3 premiere of ''[[Leverage]]'', played comically with Parker, who's trying (badly) to strike mistress poses for Photoshop mock-ups that the crew needs for a job, then in her Asperger's/carefree manner, simply drops the dress, causing Hardison and Sophie to awkwardly look away.
