Line 2: Sometimes you don't have the proper materials on hand to make yourself clothes, so you have to use other things ... {{supertrope list\|Improvised Clothing Tropes}} ~~[[Sub Trope\|Sub Tropes]]:~~ * [[Bankruptcy Barrel]] * [[Body Sushi]] * [[Curtain Clothing]] * [[Eggshell Clothing]] * [[Hand or Object Underwear]] * [[Modesty Bedsheet]] * [[Nemean Skinning]] * [[Seashell Bra]] Compare [[Rummage Sale Reject]] and [[Cheap Costume]]. See also [[Improvised Armour]]. [[Clothing Damage]] may be involved. {{examples~~\|Examples:~~}} == [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] == * In an early episode of ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'', Anthy's dress is destroyed by the [[Alpha Bitch]] in the middle of a school ball. Utena then improvises an improbably sexy dress out of a tablecloth for her and [[Les Yay\|invites her to a dance]]. * In the final episode of ''[[~~Mobile Fighter G Gundam (Anime)\|~~Mobile Fighter G Gundam]]'', when Rain emerges (naked) from a silvery case of [[Go -Go Enslavement]], Domon Kasshu (having apparently studied under Utena) improvises an improbably sexy dress out of his [[Lady in Red\|bright-red]] [[Badass Cape\|cape]]. * The ''[[Ranma ~~One Half~~½\|Ranma 1/2]]'' opponent [[Embarrassing First Name\|Pantyhose Taro]], despite his hatred for his own name (or perhaps as ironic payback) tends to transform his Jusenkyo-cursed enemies into their weaker animal forms and wrap them in pantyhose. In the case of Shampoo, he wrapped her in so much hose she was basically just a kitty head popping out of a huge ball of polyester. When Akane transformed her back, the pantyhose coincidentally stretched itself over her naked human body into a very convenient bikini shape. == [[Comic Books]] == Line 24 ⟶ 16: == Film == * In ''[[Help!]]'', after Paul accidentally gets shrunk, he improvises a wrap out of a discarded Wrigley's gum wrapper. == [[Literature]] == * Three guesses how this trope figures into ''[[~~The Paper Bag Princess (Literature)\|~~The Paper Bag Princess]]'', but the first two don't count. * Early in ''[[Time Enough for Love]]'', Ira orders that female medical staff attending Lazarus Long dress as attractively as possible. Ishtar is the antithesis of Clothes Horse; Galahad ends up improvising a dress for her from a couch cover. Line 41 ⟶ 33: == [[Western Animation]] == * ''[[~~The Little Mermaid (Disney)\|~~The Little Mermaid]]'': Ariel's first dress is an old sail strategically tied up with rope. * ''[[The Simpsons]]'': {{quote\| '''Belle''': Your son was trespassing on my property and destroyed a very valuable stone gargoyle and... are you wearing a grocery bag?~~<br />~~ '''Homer''': I have misplaced my pants. }} ** In another episode he fashions a swimsuit out of a welcome mat after forgetting his trunks. * In an episode of ''[[~~Spongebob~~SpongeBob SquarePants]]'', Mr. Krabs admits that when he was younger, his mother fashioned his clothes out of paper bags. * [[~~Chicken Little (Disney)\|~~Chicken Little]] makes pants out of his homework. * The costume Sulley and Mike use to disguise Boo in ''[[Monsters, Inc.]]'' appears to be made of chair fabric and desk lamps. * The [[Ice Age\|Scrat]] short ''Gone Nutty'' ends with Scrat's acorn crumbling to ashes after hitting the ground and causing the Earth's continents to break up and move to their current positions, causing Scrat to gasp in shock and wear the top half (which did not disintegrate) on his head as if it were a beret.
