* The Major had a breast-size-upgrade between The first season of ''[[Ghost in
* Though it was in the outfits only, several of the seven {{spoiler|surviving members of the Northern Campaign}} in ''[[Claymore]]'' went from the skin-tight but fairly conservative Claymore uniforms to black uniforms that flash a bit of thigh post [[Time Skip]], and along with a few skirts one basically wears a leotard and no pants with [[Zettai Ryouiki]].
* Nami from ''[[One Piece]]'' slowly developed her rack from modest beginnings into a set the likes of which most real women would be hard pressed to match. She also lost a considerable amount of girth from her waist and widened a bit in the hips. [[Word of God]] states that this is because she is a maturing young woman...which doesn't explain why her breasts have been so inconsistent, varying in size widely (although generally gaining in mass on average) for the last number of years. [[The Movie|The Movies]] generally up the [[Gainaxing]] and shoot for the largest chest size they can get away with.
Line 19:
** It should be noted that as the series progresses, the girls get more and more excuses to dress in casual/fetish clothes; a school trip, school festival, [[Beach Episode|summer vacation]]...
** It also explicitly notes when Yuna undergoes a growth spurt, which becomes the source of a large (*wince*) amount of humor later on.
* A variety occurs in ''[[Kamichu!]]'', where Matsuri becomes a lot more well-endowed in the manga that was based on the anime, in line with the overall enhanced [[Fan Service]].
* Fatina from ''[[The Tower of Druaga (
* Near the end of the ''[[Ranma One Half|Ranma 1/2]]'' manga, Akane - whom the other girls, Ranma included, consider flat chested (even if it's just by comparison) is very happy about having grown up. She doesn't even mind if no one else notices, it'll be her secret pride. But then her pride and happiness are shattered when Ranma, who had always been better built, turns out to have grown up ''too''...
* ''[[Bastard!!]]'''s female character's bust size slowly but steadily increase over time. The latest issues have taken this to truly over-the-top heights.
* Every single character in ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]'' due in part to [[Art Evolution]]. Most noticable with the main character Tsuna who changes from a goofy [[Butt Monkey]] into a cute little boy and Xanxus who looks like he had a chin job during the [[Time Skip]].
* ''[[Risky Safety]]'' had two episodes where the titular pair turned the story of Momotaro into a [[Space Opera]]. During the "story" parts of the episodes, Risky was shown as being a lot bustier than she really is. Not only that, but at one point there were two [[Male Gaze|worm's eye shots]] of her: one from the front, and one from the back.
* Amelia in ''[[Slayers]]<nowiki>:</nowiki> The Hourglass of Falces'' got a bust upgrade and swapped out her old pants for a miniskirt. The change is so noticeable that before the story begins proper, an [[Omake]] has to explain why.
* In the beginning of ''[[Chrono Crusade]]'', Rosette has a uniform that isn't too unbelievable for a nun -- a baggy blue dress that's only lent shape by an ammo belt around her waist, and bloomers that go down to her ankles. However, when she moves up a class in the Order and gets her new militia uniform, her uniform is changed to have her wear a corset and a skirt that's slit nearly to her waist, as well as a short pair of bloomers that might as well be ruffly booty shorts. The anime takes this even further, appearing to increase her cup size and discarding the bloomers entirely for a pair of tight, white panties.
* In ''[[D
* ''[[Ergo Proxy]]''. Vincent Law started out as a [http://www.anime-source.com/banzai/images/editorials/ergoproxy7.jpg male definition of] [[Moe]], but as the series wore on, he started getting less meek and more comfortable {{spoiler|in his godhood,}} and [http://www.nautiljon.com/images/perso/grandes/Ergo_Proxy/vincent_law.jpg he started looking nicer too.]

** [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/45/Rachel_Summers.jpg Rachel Summers] started out in ''Uncanny X-Men'' as a skinny woman with a crew cut and a penchant for leotards and legwarmers (probably since it was the 80s). After a Wolverine-related injury, she was taken to Spiral's otherdimensional "Body Shoppe" and subjected to a never-elaborated-upon process (the Body Shoppe usually specialized in cybernetics), so that when she reappeared in ''[[Excalibur (Comic Book)|Excalibur]]'' she looked like a [[Most Common Superpower|porn star]] and wore a spike-studded red leather catsuit (granted she had a mullet, but to be fair, it was the 90s). She also wore a similar catsuit in flashback (when she was a brainwashed slave of the anti-mutant Sentinels) though that was more a case of [[Evil Is Sexy]] / [[Evil Costume Switch]].
* Duela Dent, was never that much of a looker, back when she first appeared, at times looking disturbingly like [http://www.comicvine.com/duela-dent/29-5939/all-images/108-212421/73945-duela-dent/105-225753/ a transsexual] version of [[The Joker]].

* Through some kind of time-travel wackiness, Trance from ''[[Andromeda]]'' went from being a purple alien babe to a scaly, autumn-colored babe. It may have been one of those things to make the makeup easier on the actress. But she was about equally hot in either form, really.
* Willow in ''[[
* Meadow Soprano in ''[[The Sopranos]]''. To such an extent that her first post-18th episode in Season 3 has her in a bikini.
* Quinn in ''[[Zoey 101]]'', who started as a [[Hollywood Homely]] [[Extraverted Nerd]].
* Lisa Zemo of ''[[Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide]]'', via a new round of powerful anti-histamines and contact lenses.
* Gabrielle on ''[[Xena: Warrior Princess]]'' managed to wear less and less clothing as the series went on. She started in a ankle length skirt and poofy sleeves and ended in a miniskirt and what is essentially a bra. Xena, remarkably, maintained the same basic level of coverage. Which took her from being pretty exposed to relatively modest when compared to her sidekick.

* Djaq from ''[[Robin Hood (TV series)|Robin Hood]]'', who starts as a [[Sweet Polly Oliver]] with a crew cut and bulky clothes, and ends as a drop-dead gorgeous Saracen noblewoman.
* ''[[The Shield]]''. Depending on which end of the facial hair debate you fall under, Ronnie Gardocki trading in his nerdy mustache for a full-on beard counts.
* ''[[Inspector Lynley]]''. Barbara Havers, despite [[Adaptational Attractiveness|being played by]] the gorgeous [[Sharon Small]], spent the run of the show up through series four going around in baggy sweaters and oversized coats, and with very short hair. In series five she shows up with hair well past her shoulders and wearing much more form-fitting clothes.

The ''Soulcalibur'' gals in general tend to fall under this. [[Breast Expansion|If their breasts don't get bigger]], [[Stripperiffic|their default outfits get smaller.]]
* In ''[[Knights of the Old Republic]]'', The Handmaiden starts out wearing a sensible white outfit that, while being a little tighter than would occur in reality, did cover her from head to toe. Challenge her to a duel, and she shows up in her underwear (Echani tradition dictates fighting duels in the nude, but the game is T-rated).
Line 84:
** Prior to the first [[Expansion Pack]], all High Elves used recolored (and ugly-as-hell) Night Elf models. Some still do.
* Joanna Dark from ''[[Perfect Dark]]'' went from looking like [http://perfectdark.retropixel.net/pd/renders/jodark_pd_08.jpg this] in the first game, to looking like [http://perfectdark.retropixel.net/pdzero/renders/jodark_pdz_07_sm.jpg this] in the second one.

* Trish from ''[[Devil May Cry]]'' seems to get bustier with each new game appearance. In the original game, she looked like [http://devilmaycry.wikia.com/wiki/File:Trish_1.jpg this,] for her reappearance in the fourth game, she looked like [http://devilmaycry.wikia.com/wiki/File:Trish0.jpg this,] with a noticeably more buxom bust {{spoiler|(moreso in her guise as [http://devilmaycry.wikia.com/wiki/File:Gloria00.jpg Gloria])}}, and now in ''[[

* When Nintendo was making ''[[Ocarina of Time]]'', they were originally going to give Link a character design similar to the one in ''[[A Link to The Past]]'' and ''[[Links Awakening]]''. [http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/3ds/zelda-ocarina-of-time/1/7 Then the wife of the man in charge of the character designs, Yoshiaki Koizumi, asked if he could redesign him to be better looking.] [[Throw It In|He complied.]]

Line 117:
* In ''[[PvP]]'', after Francis and Marcy have sex, they "[[Level Up At Intimacy 5]]" and become three years older. As part of her next experience level package, Marcy gains "Hips and boobs", and DAMN does she look hot! Though her newly enhanced physique gets toned down in subsequent instalments (Darn it). And in a moment of utter brilliance - Brent predicted the whole event years ago, as an out of continuity joke. Kurtz keeping up with his own continuity, over five years later on a nearly daily strip? That's ''awesome'' right there.
