== [[Film]] ==
* The [[Fairytale Wedding Dress]] and princely clothes at the end of ''[[The Princess and Thethe Frog]]'' appear when Tiana and Naveen are turned back into humans.
* ''[[Cinderella (Disney film)|Cinderella]]'' has such a scene, to fit the fairytale.
* At the end of ''[[The Little Mermaid (Disney)|The Little Mermaid]]'', {{spoiler|Triton makes Ariel human, but gives here a dress, to contrast Ursula giving her not extra clothes}}.
* ''Barbie As Rapunzel'' features this
* Four times over in ''[[Barbie and Thethe Diamond Castle]]'' (six if you count the dogs getting all sparkly).
 
== [[Literature]] ==
* [[October Daye]] has this forced upon her by various fairies. She finds it annoying.
* In [[Robert A. Heinlein|Heinlein's]] novella ''[[Magic, Inc.]]'', Jedson is seen working with a young witch whose specialty is creating unique garments out of thin air. Unfortunately, she's been having some problems and produces dresses that are copies of existing designs on one try, and several hundred left shoes on another.
* In ''[[A Christmas Dream]]'' by [[Louisa May Alcott]], rich girl Effie dreams she is poor and out on the street. An angel appears and turns the snow falling on her [[Pretty in Mink|into a white fur cape and hood]].
* Harry and Susan of the [[Dresden Files]] get one in Changes, courtesy of Lea (who is, yes, Harry's fairy godmother, and she ''revels'' in this opportunity). It also serves as heavy-duty magical gear. Half averted, though. While Susan's new gear got her checked-out by everyone; Harry's got laughs. He described it as the [[Games Workshop]] imagining of a [[Star Wars|Jedi Knight]]. {{spoiler|Fitting, because he's a game-breakingly badass magician, in a world of [[Eldritch Abominations]], and is now the Winter Knight.}}
* The original [[Fairy Tale]] of ''[[Cinderella (Literaturenovel)|Cinderella]]'' has the [[Fairy Godmother]] make a dress for the title heroine.
 
== [[Tabletop RPG]] ==
* One of the joke items featured in an April issue of ''[[Dungeons and Dragons|Dragon Magazine]]'' was the "Snazzy Ring", a magical ring that would make the wearer's armour take on the appearance of an elegant gown or suit, while still providing the same level of protection. Unless it went wrong, in which case it left you genuinely naked and destroyed your outfit, making it [[The Nudifier]] as well if you [[Critical Failure|roll a 1]].
** In 1st Edition the Rod of Splendor could garb the wielder in magical noble's clothing - the finest fabrics, plus adornments of [[Pretty in Mink|furs]] and [[Everything's Sparkly Withwith Jewelry|jewels]], worth 7,000-10,000 gold pieces.
 
== [[Video Games]] ==

== [[Western Animation]] ==
* One of the many bizarre inventions of Dr. Doofenschmirtz from ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' is a "Ball-gown-inator" that, well, [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|puts a formal dress on anyone zapped by it]]. The idea was to use it on every male in the [[Where the Hell Is Springfield?|Tri-State Area]] so he would be comparatively more manly. There's a [[Freudian Excuse]] involved.
* In the ''[[He-Man]] and [[She-Ra]] [[Christmas Special]]'', Skeletor uses his staff to create parkas on the kids he kidnapped, to [[Pet the Dog|show the spirit of Christmas was getting to him]].
