* The original book ''[[How to Succeed In Business Without Really Trying]]'' reads:
{{quote| "It must be remembered that the well-bred girl is always fully clothed in the office. The broken shoulder strap, the [[She's Got Legs|deeply split skirt]], and the [[Bare Your Midriff|bare midriff]] are ''de trop'' in most businesses. The bright girl soon learns that these devices are not only in bad taste, but are not necessary. <br />
"It is not skin area but ''contour'' that counts. <br />
"A few simple experiments with sweaters, jerseys, and a slightly smaller dress size will bring pleasing and surprising results. One young lady who made a careful study of contour planning found that results were little short of breath-taking." }}
Line 61:
* Midge Pinciotti of ''[[That 70s Show]]'' is introduced to us in the first episode through the [[Male Gaze|eyes of Erik]] clad in a sweater and quite...[[Gainaxing|jiggly]].

{{quote| FEZ: Oh, good God, man, what a marvelous set of kittens. Remember that sweater?<br />
KELSO: Oh. Remember the other sweater?<br />
ERIC: Yeah. Remember that time she ran up to us in a sweater?<br />
HYDE: Remember the week she took up jump rope? In a sweater?<br />
This is followed by a montage of said sweaters. }}

Line 75:
** Once she tells a cleavage-flaunting new secretary to button up, saying that less is more if you know what you're doing. Said secretary ends up getting company partner Roger Sterling, Joan's former lover, to leave his wife for her, which says something about Roger's tastes.
