* The Major had a breast-size-upgrade between The first season of ''[[Ghost in The Shell Stand Alone Complex]]'' and ''<nowiki>SAC: 2nd GiG</nowiki>''. She also started to wear pants, around the same time, so this goes both ways. She gets a new body between the two seasons, and openly state that she's working for the government because it gives her access to the most expensive prostheses. Which means that she actually gave ''herself'' a [[Fan Service Pack]].

* 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.

* 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''...

* ''[[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 Gray Man]]'', villainess Road Kamelot began as sort of a creepy, almost inhuman looking little monster. Roughly 170 chapters later, she's shed some of the more blatant aspects to her design (though kept just enough to still hit that fetish), traded in her dress for a form-fitting outfit, gained features that are smoother and more natural looking, with the result being that a character who was initially pretty disturbing in appearance has ended up really cute.

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]].

She was only slighty feminine in the Archie comic at first. Then the new artist changed the character design, making her far more feminine.

** Lady changed quite a bit physically between ''[[Devil May Cry]] 3'' and ''[[Devil May Cry]] 4'', growing a couple of breast sizes and shrinking her clothes a couple of sizes too. It would seem that any woman who is around Dante for more then a day gets progressively sexier by default.

** ''[[Final Fantasy X-2 (Video Game)|Final Fantasy X-2]]'' has two examples in Yuna & Rikku. In ''[[Final Fantasy X (Video Game)|Final Fantasy X]]'', Rikku wears a vest & hotpants, but trades that for a thong/bikini miniskirt combo in the sequel - In fact, her X-2 costume is the image on the [[Dangerously-Short Skirt]] page. Yuna, on the other hand, goes from a conservatively dressed (Albeit with black bra showing) summoner, to hot pants & an [[Absolute Cleavage]] baring halter top complete with the Zanarkand Abes logo hanging there.
