A good example can be seen here, where we see the pictures for the elementalist armors. One can't help but wonder why the female version cost the same amount of crafting materials as the male versions, given that they have about 30% of the fabric. The overall points of articulation were definitely plentiful and something I'm used to (depending on the figure, of course) but range of motion is what makes this body spectacular and will hold up, presuming you don't anything super extreme. Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures: Clan Leader Taun's armour, which is moulded and leaves her midriff and one arm bare. In fairness, though, her abs certainly look harder than steel... plus Word of God says the armour is ceremonial. She's also an extremely powerful, millennia-old supernatural creature, so it's possible that her skin really is tougher than armour.

The Monster Hunter series has the Kirin armor shown here. It is one of the strongest armors you can get early on in Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. "How does so much skin deflect so much damage?!?" One of "31 Life Lessons You Can Only Learn From Video Games" is that "the less it covers, the more it protects."

Made even more hilarious when worn on a jester. Since they didn't think you could get much more Stripperific than a Playboy Bunny costume, they decided to clothe them in complete dominatrix gear—complete with mask and whip. Angela is even worse. Not only is she wearing a strapless leotard, miniskirt, boots and her staff, she's also Going Commando, and she hails from the snowy land of Altena. The first time she leaves the magically protected castle onto the aptly named Sub-Zero Snowfields, she almost freezes to death.

Lampshaded in Persona 3. The High-Cut Armor (for females only) is essentially this (although you only get to see the avatar change in the FES expansion), but your party members will be embarrassed and only reluctantly agree to wear it. The Sisters Repentia units from the same army run around in rags or scraps of parchment, while Dark Eldar Wyches fight in Alien Polymer Bikinis because their superhuman reflexes make heavy armor unnecessary. The titular character of Red Shetland, a Furry Comic that homages Red Sonja and the Conan mythos as a whole, wears one of these, although it's not quite as all-protecting as is the norm for this trope. The Enchantress Emily from C-64 game Fire King falls into the "no armor at all" category. It's stated as the reason for her low defense, since "the armorer has given up fashioning a breastplate for her".Somewhat justified in Zero Zero Nine One. Mylene is an Action Girl with missile breasts, so she gets one slapped on her if she's captured by a Genre Savvy villain. This seems to be the standard uniform for female Night Elves of the Darnassian army, but to be fair, the male soldiers show a lot of skin too. Soul Calibur 4. The Soul series of fighting games is legendary for its female character's costumes, most of which offer little protection from sword, hammer, or ambient temperature. By contrast, new character Hilde in Soul Calibur 4 wields two weapons and wears full plate armour, making her an oddity not only in SC 4 but also fighting games in general—the armour does not, however, appear to give any more protection from damage than a cotton dress. This is to show off the new system, where armor can get blown off! Even when the armor is nearly completely removed, she manages to avert the trope by wearing a formal suit underneath which - miraculously - doesn't show any skin. To be fair, however, the player can create a costume for her that shows all the skin she has while keeping it's "T" rating. From a paint perspective, there isn't much wrong, with generally clean paintwork across all armour and outfit parts. Blood effects on the weapons and armour are again, not photorealistic, but get the job done. The materials seem appropriate for their usage, and I like how the hands are quite soft such that you can open them up with ease for grasping accessories.

Also famously Lampshaded in the first Project A-ko film when B-ko throws off her school uniform to reveal a skimpy armor bikini underneath. She is met with laughter from the student body, and A-ko's famous response "Ain't it cold in that?" Taken to extremes in Earth X by Iron Maiden, who's of the molded plate variety. It makes sense to a point, since her power is to shape the metal that encases her, but a concept drawing featured in issue #4 shows not just breast-plate but navel-plate and what looks to be cameltoe-plate. Ouch. Rebecca from the Dressrosa Arc of One Piece; as a gladiator, she wore a rather literal interpretation of the Trope, possibly overlapping with Go-Go Enslavement, as Donquixote Doflamingo used gladiator combat as a death sentence. The swimwear set is made of numerous small chains that are combined into a special item. Because of the metal, the item is susceptible to corrosion so prolonged exposure will make it rust. So, if you intend to wear it to beaches or pool parties, keep in mind that it has a life span. Is this beachwear heavy?Needless to say, chainmail bikinis are tailor-made for fantasy fans but if you have an adventurous spirit, we suggest you try it as well. It might not be your traditional swimming suit but it can definitely be a lot of fun. And then hilariously parodied further and subverted in the second movie, where B-Ko's father wears the exact same suit. The figure comes with a very generic smoke grey plastic tub which allows you to gaze at the top layer of the contents (main body layer). There's paper around the edges within the box that identify the figure. Inside, you'll find some perfumey desiccant, along with the following:

Foz Meadows, fantasy author, has done this with particular force, intelligence, and humor. In response to the claim that an image of scantily-clad warrior woman is conventional in certain departments of fantasy, she notes: While Samurai Warriors usually plays this straight (when the female warriors wear armor at all, that is), it's subverted with Ginchiyo Tachibana. While the plate parts of her armor would be a classic Breast Plate, She has the good sense to cover everything but her head in (admittedly very well-fitting) chainmail. Subverted and Lampshaded in Guilded Age. The fighter Frigg gets into a tussle with a bunch of razor-ruler wielding psycho nuns and while she wins, afterwards she is covered in bruises and lacerations. The first things she does is swear to get some plate as "the spring break look is for tards". It doesn’t feel too heavy as you might’ve presumed so you won’t have any trouble wearing chainmail bikini for longer periods of time. Munchkin Blender has a variant: the "Revealing Costume", which gives a +3 Bonus because the monsters are Distracted by the Sexy. This bonus increases by 1 each time a character changes gender thanks to repeated Wardrobe Malfunctions increasing the effect of the Theiss Titillation Theory.Cross Player: Exaggerated with Marcus. He's played numerous campaigns, and all of his characters have always been female. The sword sheathe attaches to the belt with a leather loop which requires the belt to be threaded through, which is annoying for me but at least it stays in place. Then, for reasons, the dagger sheathe just hangs off the belt with a plastic hook, which has a cavity so large that the sheathe just flies off the belt if you breathe on it funny. As you can presume, chainmail is made from various metals. It is usually a lighter metal that is durable enough to make a suit but comfortable so that it doesn’t hurt you. There are no rough edges or anything. It also contains one of the oddest subversions to this trope, as one character actually is shot fatally in an unprotected area due to wearing this kind of armor... and it's a male character. Still, the gap was notoriously small, so kudos to the archer.
