A ribbon, sash, or [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Obi_:Obi (sash) |obi]]<ref>If combined with yukata or [[Kimono]], this is a common blunder, although informal kimono and yukata ''can'' be worn with fluffy bows, and some "proper" obi knot styles are in fact just elaborated bows.</ref> worn on the waist, tied like a bow, and is large enough to see from any angle.
 
Ribbons like this aren't unheard of in [[Real Life]], but rarely as large as in the trope (except for the the obi), and smaller ones are used on dresses as a pretty alternative to a belt, especially if it matches bows already on the dress. They just aren't any likely to be ''that'' big.
Line 9:
This trope is applying [[Bigger Is Better]] to that, likely because the artist or costumer feels it adds a recognizable point for the outfit, or a character wearing it has a [[Limited Wardrobe]].
 
Also, the rest of the outfit doesn't really matter. It can vary from a [[Pimped -Out Dress]] to even a [[Chainmail Bikini]].
 
Compare [[Showgirl Skirt]] (which this can even substitute for), [[Peacock Girl]], [[Giant Poofy Sleeves]].
