An even more blatant example would be Yamanaka Ino's outfit as of The Last: Naruto the Movie.(Averted, however, in the anime where all of the mesh shirts are filled in with grey, leaving some fans to believe that they're a form of chain mail.) Despite all of the acrobatics she gets into, that coat never swings fully open. Mitarashi Anko is always depicted wearing nothing more than a miniskirt, fishnet shirt, and trench coat.However, this is only an illusion, as most of the time, she's actually wearing a holographic body suit. In Macross Frontier, Sheryl's stage outfits fit the trope enough.Apparently the author designed Gaap like this just to mess with an employee who enjoys doing cosplays of his characters.It's been described as "a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen." Gaap in Umineko: When They Cry wears a dress that appears to have a pretty good-sized strip chopped out of it all the way down and very barely stitched back together with laces ◊.Nico Robin's outfit post-timeskip has her skirt resting just below her hips, revealing a lot of her pelvis and pubis area realistically, the skirt is far down enough that it should just fall to the floor.If you think the outfit is unbelievable, you should see her in the fight scenes in the animated versions it defies reality. Let's not even get into Sadi-Chan from the Impel Down arc.Seriously, is her short jacket duct-taped to her nipples or something?

#SOULCALIBUR VI NUDE SKIN#
He found he could get surprising amounts of appeal from the carefully-arranged display of skin not generally considered erogenous.
He was further able to enhance the effect by the censorship rules of the time regarding what parts of the body could or could not be shown (the navel being the most well-known restriction). According to the "Art of Star Trek" book, Theiss preferred to design costumes that only appeared to be in danger of slipping or coming off, through the use of strategically-placed sheer or skin tone fabric. Though Theiss was a costume designer, according to Inside Star Trek: The Real Story by Herb Solow and Robert Justman, most of the costumes - following this theory - were actually somewhat more modest before being " improved" by Gene Roddenberry. However, on Will & Grace, Debra Messing occasionally wore outfits that would not be anatomically feasible for a better-endowed woman. This trope is particularly common in Science Fiction and related genres, where exotic or futuristic landscapes (plus the Willing Suspension of Disbelief) make it seem plausible that these outfits could be everyday wear. Evidently, a woman who is not quite naked is more interesting than a woman who already is. The TTT also takes advantage of an odd side effect: a particularly sexy outfit actually out-titillates frank nudity. The allure of this trope is all in the tease - precarious as these outfits seem, they will never, ever fail to keep everything covered (at least from the perspective of the viewer other characters might be getting quite the eyeful).

The Trope Namer is William Ware Theiss, costume designer on Star Trek: The Original Series, who first codified the concept. This basic theory underwrites Stripperiffic clothing, Impossibly Cool Clothes, and pretty much anything else you stick characters (usually female, but this can apply to men's clothing as well) into: what makes clothing sexy is the potential for a catastrophic Wardrobe Malfunction. The sexiness of an outfit is directly proportional to the perceived possibility that a vital piece of it might fall off. Sorry, it's not going to slide down any further.
