Line 7:
An off the shoulder neckline that is so low on the chest, it looks as though it's one deep breath from a having a [[Wardrobe Malfunction]] (but almost never does).
 
The actual outfit doesn't matter. It could be a bathing suit, a [[Spy Catsuit]], a [[Mini Dress of Power]], a [[Leotard of Power]], a [[Sexy Santa Dress]], or even a [[Pimped -Out Dress]], [[Fairytale Wedding Dress]], or [[Happy Holidays Dress]]. It can also overlap with [[Victoria's Secret Compartment]], even though it can stretch the logic of this trope even further.
 
This ''can'' be worn in [[Real Life]] and live action, but it always involves either a lot of adhesive, or sewing strips of plastic or metal into the seams to keep the shape.
Line 13:
A [[Sister Trope]] to [[Absolute Cleavage]], [[Side Boob]], [[Underboobs]].
 
Compare [[Magic Skirt]], [[Of Corsets Sexy]], [[Theiss Titillation Theory]], [[Impractically Fancy Outfit]], [[Impossibly Cool Clothes]], [[Form -Fitting Wardrobe]], [[Cleavage Window]].

Line 34:
* In ''[[Magical Pokaan]]'', the [[Stripperiffic|belt Liru wears as a top]] combines this with underboobs.
* Ikaruga from ''[[Fairy Tail]]'' wears her kimono this way.
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"|Alcyone/Alcion]] from ''Magic Knight Rayearth'', specially in the anime. See [http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_f0O9wZGKSF0/Sk9nVNCZZ8I/AAAAAAAAAwI/9_e3V_bagVI/s320/magic_knight_rayearth-cephiro-alcione03.jpg here]
 
 
Line 46:
* Jessica Rabbit from ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit]]''.
* Belle's yellow ball gown in Disney's ''[[Beauty and The Beast (Disney)|Beauty and The Beast]]'' looks this way in [http://larryfire.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/beautybeastdancinglow.jpg some shots], but higher up in others.
** Her recent "[[EverythingsEverything's Sparkly With Jewelry|Jeweled]] [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Princesses|Princess]]" gown seems [http://joechip.net/liana/uploads/disney-princess-jewels-snow-white-cinderella-belle-sleeping-beauty-kleenex.png like this] [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/tina_als_girl/Wallpapers/AllSix_Jewel_Wallpaper_by_Joy_01.jpg as well].
** Even in [[http://silverwingfox.deviantart.com/art/In-the-Black-for-the-Last-Time-215300222?q=gallery<!-- 3Asilverwingfox2F8638920&qo=9 fanart]], Belle still gets this. -->
* [[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney)|Esmeralda]] also has a very low neckline as well, not just with her main Gypsy dress, but also with her poledancing dress and her white dress as well.
Line 82:
** And, to an (arguably) lesser extent, Marine the Raccoon. Hers isn't played for fanservice though - she's only seven, so there's nothing to show off anyway.
* Morrigan from ''[[Darkstalkers (Video Game)|Darkstalkers]]'' has such a low-cut outfit that, if she wasn't a [[Horny Devil]], would be a walking wardrobe malfunction. Of course, she's not actually wearing ''clothes''...
* Hanne Lichthammer from ''[[Clive Barkers Jericho]]'' wears an extremely [[Form -Fitting Wardrobe|tight-fitting]], S&M-style SS uniform that just ''barely'' manages to contain her assets. Considering her horrifically mutilated appearance, though, this is definitely an example of [[Fan Disservice]].
* Sumire Kanzaki from ''[[Sakura Taisen]]'', when wearing a kimono.
* Jessica from ''[[Dragon Quest VIII (Video Game)|Dragon Quest VIII]]'' features a gravity-defying shirt.
Line 98:
 
== Webcomics ==
* Missi in [http://www.misfile.com/?page=1417 this] ''[[Misfile]]'' strip. Oddly, in the first panel, there appear to be (extremely thin) straps, [[Off -Model|but in the second panel]], the trope applies. Not that there's much to fall out...
* Dixie's outfit in ''[[What's New With Phil and Dixie (Comic Strip)|What's New With Phil and Dixie]]'' after she's become [[Lawful Good]] combines this with an [[Absolute Cleavage]]. As she remarks, being übergood still gives you the [[Evil Is Sexy|fashion perks of evil]].
* It's justified in the 18th-century parts of ''[[The Dreamer]]'' due to it being in vogue.
