* ''Hadaka Apron Gakuen'' is a Japanese [[Renai Game|"Ero-Ren'ai" game]] (Erotic Dating Game, also known as a "Hentai Game" outside Japan) that takes this trope to its logical extreme. The hero passes out playing an Ero-Ren'ai game with a Hadaka Apron scene. When he awakes the next day, the world has changed so that every woman in the world is wearing nothing but an apron, and doesn't realize anything is wrong with this.

* Its sequel, ''Seiai Gakuen Fechi Ka'' (literal English title "''Sexual Love School: Fetish Department''"; released in English as ''Cosplay Fetish Academy''), introduces a new hero who traveled with two girls from his reality (so they're aware of the differences in the two worlds) as well as every other clothing fetish imaginable. This weird universe's strange clothing styles are explained as modesty being "inverted" in this world—the more a woman shows, the more modest she's being. Indeed, in the opening, the extremely shy girl is chased by the police as being a perverted "Dress-hibitionist" due to her fully covering clothing.

* The statue of Vulcan on Red Mountain in Birmingham, Alabama, was built to symbolize the city's thriving steelmaking industry. From most viewpoints, Vulcan looks majestic with a big blacksmith's apron and a raised hand. However, for decades the neighborhoods behind Red Mountain enjoyed the sight of a giant iron butt on top of the mountain, since Vulcan is ''only'' wearing the apron and it doesn't wrap around. Recently, the statue was taken down, and repaired. The iron moon is still shining, but it's not aimed at a residential area now.
