Line 6:
A lingerie scene is one in which a female character removes her clothes to reveal undergarments. This exposes cleavage and usually quite a bit of skin, but still hides [[Nipple-and-Dimed|those indecent things known as nipples]], so it is not as risqué as a topless scene. In most cases, the titillation factor is intended to be about as high as if [[Shirtless Scene|a man had gone shirtless]] in the same situation.
A subtrope of [[Fan Service]]. See also: [[Vapor Wear]].

Line 44:
** On the other side of the Atlantic, ''Sally the Sleuth'' (Adolphe Barreaux, 1934) would lose her dress somewhere on the first page, spending the remainder of the story in her underwear. [http://dc312.4shared.com/img/OMG8Hbxr/s7/0.3418735908522329/sally3.jpg Solving the crime] was considered an unnecessary distraction by most readers.
** By the 1940s, hotblooded American troops were being entertained by the likes of Bill Ward's [http://dc198.4shared.com/img/5W4jRn6t/s7/0.5508564895554909/Torchy.jpg Torchy] and Milt Caniff's [http://dc299.4shared.com/img/iuzf4fjx/s7/0.414049851729393/MissLace.jpg Miss Lace] (presumably because flesh-and-blood women were unavailable on the frontline).
* In the US, lingerie scenes were effectively banned by the Comics Code in 1955, but fortunately, these restrictions [http://dc316.4shared.com/img/eM8wdK95/s7/S006.jpg didn't extend to the news industry]. Mainstream features like ''On Stage, Apartment 3-G'' and ''The Heart of Juliet Jones'' spiced up the melodrama with the occasional striptease.
* Meanwhile, back in Merry Old England, lingerie scenes were the main drawcard of the Sunday supplement. By the time ''Jane'' ended in 1959, Bond girls were [http://dc206.4shared.com/img/tuMv9nDy/s7/0.7382149490058713/S017a.jpg already appearing] in ''The Daily Express,'' and Jim Holdaway's ''Romeo Brown'' was being duped by [http://dc196.4shared.com/img/vOLpsYRD/s7/0.1689296119616397/S008.jpg scantily-clad seductresses]. ''Modesty Blaise'' started a few years later in 1963 -- a strip [http://dc196.4shared.com/img/AzMtCYmG/s7/0.6965081427707515/S019.jpg so rife with black underwear] that the American press hesitated to publish it.
** For more on the subject of black underwear, check the comics section of the [[Black Bra and Panties|relevant article]].
* More recent examples: Vicki Vale's first appearance in ''[[All-Star Batman and Robin The Boy Wonder]]'' is her strutting around her apartment in frilly pink knickers. This lasts for about three pages. The author's commentary admits, "Okay, I'm shameless. Let's go for the ass shot."
Line 53:
* ''[[Men in Black (film)|Men In Black 2]]''. The [[Femme Fatale|villainess Serleena]] is passing through security at MIB headquarters. When she's asked for the reason for her visit to Earth she opens her coat and replies: "I'm hoping to become a Victoria's Secret model" then knocks out the guards [[Show Some Leg|while they're gaping at her lingerie-clad body]].
* ''[[The Girl in Gold Boots]]'' features a scene in the dressing room with Joan and Michele in their underwear for no apparent reason.
* In ''[[Enemy of the State]]'', Robert goes to a lingerie store to get something for his wife, and is assisted by models dressed in lingerie. Later in the film, he sees his wife wearing the lingerie that he bought her, and bemoans that it was meant to be a surprise present for her birthday.
* [[Britney Spears]] in ''Crossroads''
* Used as an infiltration technique by FBI Agent [[Mc Taggart]] in ''[[X-Men|X-Men First Class]]''. Also, Emma Frost is a [[Sensible Heroes, Skimpy Villains|walking lingerie scene]].

* ''[[The Benny Hill Show]]''. [[Benny Hill]] is practically synonymous with the term [http://dc206.4shared.com/img/8nCrxk8E/s7/0.381286938770493/telly003.jpg gratuitous lingerie scene]. Every single episode, [http://dc206.4shared.com/img/M5NosDRn/s7/0.6704089786567334/acacia003.jpg like clockwork], on the [http://dc313.4shared.com/img/-TP3uTfo/s7/0.7518377145724152/poolside009.jpg flimsiest pretext imaginable].
* One notable example is ''[[Sex and the City]]'', where Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) never removes her bra during sex scenes, while her castmates do. The weird part is that in previous scenes she's usually not wearing a bra underneath her top.
* In the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode "Terminus", Nyssa strips down to her underwear. According to the companion novel she was feeling ill, but this is never explained in the script. This was Nyssa's last episode and the actress wanted to please the male fans.
Line 71:
* On ''[[Neighbours]]'', [[Dichen Lachman]] as Katya gives us [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNHhs2unV10 a bonzer].
* On ''[[Alias (TV series)|Alias]]'', Jennifer Garner opened an episode in lingerie while seducing an enemy agent. And this episode aired right after the Super Bowl.
* In the "Liquid Visions" episode of ''[[Baywatch]]'' Hawaii, [http://baywatchcostume.org/search/baywatch+strip+rescue Jessie Owens, Kekoa Tanake and Allie Reese] strip down to their bras and panties to rescue a capsized sailboat.
