This trope is about extremely detailed clothing, either seeing it or describing it. Seems to be more as a form of Author Appeal or Fanservice than for any important details to the plot. Seems to be most common in stuff aimed at girls and women. This trope is usually written, but if the clothing is elaborate enough, it can be shown visually. This was especially true when royalty invokes the Ermine Cape Effect, or in period drama films from The Golden Age of Hollywood. With both, the point was in the fanciest, flashiest clothing possible. A Super-Trope to: Battle Ballgown Bling of War (regardless of the gender of the wearer) Fairytale Wedding Dress The Fashionista Fashion-Shop Fashion Show Frilly Upgrade Happy Holidays Dress Impractically Fancy Outfit Kicking Ass in All Her Finery Pimped-Out Cape Pimped-Out Dress Requisite Royal Regalia Sexy Santa Dress Sexy Whatever Outfit Stylish Protection Gear Virtual Paper Doll Sister Tropes include: Conspicuous Consumption Costume Drama Ermine Cape Effect Everything's Sparkly with Jewelry Fashion Magazine Fashion Show Fluffy Fashion Feathers Garden Garment Gem-Encrusted Gorgeous Garment Generation Gorgeous Period Dress Hollywood Costuming Impossibly Cool Clothes Pretty in Mink Unlimited Wardrobe Compare: Description Porn, Scenery Porn, Technology Porn, Modeling Poses. Contrast: Modest Royalty; Impossibly Tacky Clothes (making it clear the detailed outfit is bad). Compare / Contrast Simple, yet Opulent. Not to be confused with porn costumes, which tend to be a single layer to provide an excuse for the actors to strip, or with Sexy Whatever Outfit — though there is much overlap there. |

Marie Antoinette (2006): The titular queen wears several lavish and detailed dresses, from the wide caged white dress she wears on her wedding, a refined blue gown accompanied with a chic tricorne hat and rich trimmings, to a green and pink striped gown with dozens of ruffles and bows whose accessory consists of a diamond-encrusted fan. | |

Occasionally the more elaborate outfits worn by the Hawkbrothers in the Heralds of Valdemar series will get this treatment.

Last Night in Soho is about a fashion design student with a love of the 1960s, so of course when she has psychic visions of 60s London, we see splendid dresses and suits in most scenes. This is of course subverted when Sandie (who Eloise is having visions of) ends up a prostitute, and her outfits become slightly tackier. | |

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries features Phryne's absolutely glorious wardrobe, which is straight out of 1920s fashion magazines. She seems to have two or three gorgeous new outfits per episode, and that doesn't include recurring pieces like her luxurious satin dressing gowns. All in all, your average period fashion enthusiast's response to her wardrobe can basically be described as "Hnnnngh". And then there's the natty suits and nice hats Jack Robinson swans around in.... | |

The Phryne Fisher mysteries star a wealthy, stylish woman in a Genteel Interbellum Setting, and feature many loving descriptions of Phryne's glamorous 1920s outfits. The series also dips into Costume Gorn on occasion, when Phryne has to go undercover. Her "bedraggled tart" disguise in Cocaine Blues was already the tackiest kind of cheap floozy-wear (which was entirely the point), and then she distressed it to make it look realistically worn-down. |

Chairman Kaga in Iron Chef, ranging from rather understated but still stylish outfits to outfits that laid on the gold brocade and sparkles hard to fricken capes in the specials. One of the few things the ill-fated Iron Chef USA got right was the Chairman's ostentatious style. (Iron Chef America instead opted for Badass in a Nice Suit.) | |

The above can be seen in the appendices included in the DVD release of The Return of the King, where the costume designers show some of their work, including Gandalf the White's undershirt which has elaborate gold embroidery despite being completely concealed by the rest of his clothes in every scene, and a dress that Arwen wears for a single sequence lasting no more than a minute, yet the dress itself is so beautifully stitched and made of such exotic materials (including silk shipped in from India) that it seems like a tremendous waste of money. This is true for almost all the costumes and props made for the films; Jackson could frame his shots ad-lib and not accidentally capture someone whose sword was made of cardboard wrapped in tinfoil. |

The Baby-Sitters Club does this. Any given book will have several detailed descriptions of all the girls' outfits, but especially Claudia's. There's usually a shopping trip to the local mall, too, which enters Fridge Logic territory when one wonders how they manage to afford all that stuff on their $4.00-an-hour babysitting gigs. | |

The Queen's Gambit: After she starts making money, the protagonist Beth grows into quite The Fashionista, wearing the most gorgeous 1950s/1960s fashion since Mad Men. This is even lampshaded, with some of her rivals believing she's too feminine and glamorous to be a "serious" chess player. They are very wrong. Pretty much every review of this show takes a moment to gush over how beautiful Beth's outfits are, and how well Anya Taylor-Joy carries them off. | |

In Lusternia, trademasters can periodically submit a number of cartel designs. The result is extreme customization of everything from robes to platemail to furniture. Your character can be as richly (or as drably) attired as you desire. And - like the Dwarf Fortress example above - this is achieved entirely through text! | |

Another Lana Turner example is Imitation of Life (1959). In the book it was adapted from (and original 1934 film), her character was a businesswoman who became successful via a pancake empire. The 1959 remake decidedly made her an actress that becomes a Broadway star, allowing for a fancier wardrobe. Her clothes altogether cost over $1 million, making it one of the most expensive cinema wardrobes at the time. This also allows Sandra Dee as her daughter to have fancy dresses of her own, and Susan Kohner (whose goes from waitress to chorus girl) to wear more than one nice evening gown. This was a deliberate move by director Douglas Sirk to draw in more female viewers (as the film actually deals with very ahead-of-its time themes about racism and sexism). | |

The Amawakuni clothing in Arata: The Legend are all beautifully designed and detailed in the Oriental fashion. This isn't new for someone like Yuu Watase, as they often drew Miaka Yuuki from Fushigi Yuugi wearing really pretty Chinese-styled robes. Yui Hongou's belly dancer-like outfits were very easy in the eyes as well. |

Girl Friends (2006) is an interesting example - it focuses very heavily on all the different kinds of make-up and clothing the main characters play around with in luxurious detail...but since the girls are just normal middle-class Japanese high schoolers, the clothes involved are the sort that you'd expect girls in real life to be wearing, being pretty mainstream and relatively affordable. This article explains in a little more detail. | |

Dragon Age: Inquisition: Throughout the Dragon Age games, the kingdom of Orlais (a medieval fantasy France) is said to enjoy opulent fashions, and masquerade masks are a part of everyday wear in their culture, but we never actually see any of it until Inquisition. And when we do, whew boy. Men and women alike are dressed in colorful, elaborate outfits and masks. Even the Enslaved Elves, while wearing much simpler outfits than the humans they serve, are still dressed to the nines compared to the rags Ferelden city elves generally wear. | |

Throughout its length, The Night Circus regularly takes the time to describe the lovely outfits, accessories, and even hairstyles of its female characters in particular. Since the book centers on the performing arts and illusion magic, which are two very visual story elements, it'd arguably be somewhat odd to not address how those elements interact with characters' clothing and overall appearance. When combined with the book's many examples of Scenery Porn as well, the author's overall use of this trope comes across as tasteful worldbuilding rather than pure Fanservice. | |

In Homestuck fandom, redesigning the characters' simple outfits, either for cosplay purposes or fashion purposes, is absurdly common. Rumminov's Fancy Dreamers and Fancy Tier designs are extremely popular, as well as Mookie's various J-fashion designs, but there are many more popular ones as well. Some of these popular designs, such as Meenah's various custom God Tier outfits, Porrim's "party dress" (based on Asian fashion) and Equius's fetishistic maid costume (which the artist apparently never sent to Hussie, but which he put in anyway) were canonised in the "Ministrife" flash. | |

The Fantastic Beasts series is filled to the brim with Colleen Atwood's immaculate and gorgeous period costumes.note The first two films take place in 1926 & 1927 and the third at a currently unknown point in the early '30s. So much that the first film's Oscar for Best Costume Design is its parent franchise's first and only Oscar, nine movies in. Some highlights: President Seraphina Picquery's ceremonial gown and headdress◊. Most of Queenie's outfits◊. Leta Lestranges gorgeous plum dress◊. Nagini's circus dress. |

Love Live! School idol festival is officially a Rhythm Game but for most people, the main reason they play is to collect as many cards of cute idols dressed up in extremely detailed and cool-looking costumes - from angels to mermaids to wedding dresses - as possible. However, just lucking out on one card is enough - that only nets you the unidolised version, which tends to be a much more casual outfit (though often still a very well drawn one) - to get the real costume porn, you need two versions of the same card so you can fuse them together in a process called Idolisation, a feat which ranges from 'very easy' for Normal rarity cards to 'start saving up money months in advance' for prized Ultra Rares. ALL STARS takes it a step further, as the characters can also be seen performing in elaborate costumes for certain songs. | |

Dwarf Fortress allows you to create this trope through decoration, randomly determined between menacing spikes, hanging rings, encircling bands, and images, with no regard to practicality.

The Dynasty Warriors series is the eastern version of Satoshi Urushihara's works in terms of extreme pornography. Even when someone has a plain and basic outfit there's an 80% chance of nice hat after nice hat after... It seems the only place they skimped on the clothing was for the create-a-character 'edit generals'. See also: Kessen and Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but DW is where they save the most fantastical designs for. | |

×××HOLiC: Yuuko Ichihara's wardrobe is a veritable catalog of ludicrously orgasmatastic clothing designs. The only times Yuuko ever wears the same outfit twice is once in a dream sequence and once in real life, and it is in-universe memorable enough that Watanuki comments on it... and even gets worried because of it. His fear is justified. Since Yuuko's death, Watanuki has taken over not only her role as shopkeeper but also as CLAMP's mannequin for unique and frequent Costume Porn. Similarly, anything Tomoyo makes for Sakura in Cardcaptor Sakura. Really though, just CLAMP in general. The splash pages of many CLAMP manga are used primarily as an excuse to dress the characters up in elaborate and exquisitely detailed costumes. Pick up any of their artbooks and see. |

In his Diogenes Club series, Kim Newman writes what can only be described as costume Gorn. Occult detective Richard Jeperson wears only the most eye-searingly hideous of '70s fashions, and Newman describes his outfits in detail every story. "The Man Who Got Off the Ghost Train" has a double dose, as it features a flashback to Richard's youth that contains an equally detailed description of his wearing eye-searingly hideous '50s fashions. | |

This became a calling card of Zenjo after the Beauty Pair took off, and for a while, gaijin in Japan were baffled by the number of money promotions spent on multiple sets elaborate ring gear that could hold up under the pressures of ring work for decades. You'd much more likely see an Ayako Hamada's skin give way before the butterflies she wore look wrinkled yet she'd be in crosses the next show anyway. Even wrestlers with fairly plain ring gear like The Crush Gals Chigusa Nagayo and Lioness Asuka would make up for it with lots of entrance attire. While promotions like Zenjo, GAEA, and even some tiny enterprises like REINA tended to cover the athletes from neck to toe(sometimes head to toe) in eye-catching patterns and frills, a notable minority such as JD Star an infamously more fanservice driven direction. | |

It's a rare instance of it being justified In-Universe: when your best friend is a highly talented costume designer and videographer and has heavy Single-Target Sexuality towards you and feels the camera loves you as much as she does and believes that you have to look your best when capturing magical cards that are wreaking havoc, you can expect to be the guinea pig for her new creations Once an Episode.

In-universe case in Case Closed the "Kimono Goddess" filler case happens in an inn that possesses LOTS of beautiful and very pricey female kimonos (which make Ran squeal in amazement) and is near the shrine of the aforementioned Goddess. This becomes a plot-point when the Asshole Victims, two Rich bitches named Asuka and Ema, appear dead in carefully-arranged crime scenes that involve such kimonos: this is because they caused the death of Sakurako, a girl who was a big devotée of the Kimono Goddess, and her long-lost sister Chieri/Eri was also aware of the myth so she used it as criminal theme to signify her revenge against the two assholes who got her sister killed. Even more so, there's a backstory to the myth of the Goddess, and it also brings up the trope. According to it, a Naïve Everygirl named Koharu received a trunk of beautiful kimonos as thanks from a daimyo whose life she saved. The jealous daughters of the village leader accused her of theft to get them, and poor Koharu was executed. That same night, the two girls were found dead — also in carefully-arranged scenes involving these kimonos, which were supposedly caused by Koharu's soul which had become a vengeful spirit. To appease her, she was from then on referred to and venerated as the Kimono Goddess, a Shinto minor deity who is generally seen as the protector of the area... but is believed to be willing to sponsor someone's revenge if they ask her to. Again invoked in another case, where we take a peek at the wardrobe belonging to an Elegant Gothic Lolita fangirl. It's a blink-and-you-may-miss-it moment in the manga version, but the anime gives us quite the tour of the girl's beautiful jewelry and clothes. Too bad that she's actually the victim of the week. And then her frilly black dress is vital to resolve the case. |

Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 version of Romeo and Juliet. The Renaissance costumes are absolutely breathtaking and absolutely period-accurate, with hundreds of yards of elaborately pleated cotton velvet on the women and raunchy, colourful tights and codpieces on the men. | |

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl naturally has an extended sequence where she's attending a formal ceremony in a fancy 18th-century gown, and then spends the second act of the film in a darker (but no less elaborate) number given to her by Barbossa. The sequels avert this by having her disguised as a man and wearing men's clothes for the most part. | |

Game of Thrones, especially in opulent King's Landing and faraway lands like Qarth. Here is an article about the detail put into the costumes. Renly Baratheon's ostentatious armour and Margaery Tyrell's sumptuous wedding gown are excellent examples. House of the Dragon: The dresses, robes and tunics of the nobles look absolutely gorgeous, laced with gold and jewels. Daemon's armour is intricately decorated with a dragon motif. It's quite fitting as this was the apex of Targaryen wealth and power. |

All descriptions are nearly identical. Her outfit changes and those of her friends are rendered with such love and detail, that she didn't reserve any for the rest of the text. The best description of the "Black Leather Pajamas". Pfff, "black leather bar." |

This is done in the book version of American Psycho, but is partially a subversion: while the narration makes it sound like the '80s businessmen are clad in the most powerful of power suits if one were to actually look at the items in question, they'd realize they look absolutely ridiculous.

Doctor Who has done this from the start: Tom Baker's famous bohemian outfit and the Time Lords' exquisitely layered robes and headdresses were designed by James Acheson, who later went on to win three Oscars for his stupendous costumes for Hollywood movies. Check out "The Masque of Mandragora" and "The Deadly Assassin" for his best work on the series. Amy Roberts designed some rather gorgeous pieces for the stories she worked on ("Image of the Fendahl", "State of Decay", "The Keeper of Traken", "Mawdryn Undead" and the Ainley Master's velvet costume). June Hudson's work on Season 17 and 18 is also worthy of attention, particularly her radical redesign of Tom Baker's costume to give him a darker, sharper look. Hudson adored Tom Baker's physical appearance and relished the opportunity to dress him up in beautiful things, and it shows. "Pyramids of Mars": The Fourth Doctor permanently alters his style of dress from this point onwards, and his new look is announced with a long shot of him slowly revealing his face from under his Eye-Obscuring Hat, then striking a pose while the camera pans out and down his body. Sarah Jane gets to wear a floaty, sparkly Victorian gown and point a rifle at people. And everyone else is in Gorgeous Period Dress. Due to improved budget at the time, the entirety of Season 14. See "The Deadly Assassin", the Gorgeous Period Dress-heavy Costumer "The Talons of Weng-Chiang" and the awesome Raygun Gothic Art Deco couture headdresses in "The Robots of Death". "The Girl in the Fireplace" is an entire episode's worth of this. Not just Reinette's gorgeous period dresses, but the outfits the clockwork robots were wearing. |

The Mabinogion brings us the early-medieval Dream of Macsen Wledig, which is stuffed full of characters who turn up only to get the beautiful colors and magnificent materials of their clothes, armor, and horses described. Oh, and drop off messages. ​This is theorized to have happened mainly because the story was composed when 'writing stuff down' was just making a comeback in the British Isles. Somebody thought it was orgasmically awesome to be able to put in this many details and be able to get them right next time without killing your brain. An amazing memory was an important necessity to the job, but remembering many long stories was much more important than getting one right after days of wandering around madly muttering, 'green...blue...red...sable...no, yellow, then sable...'* At the end of The Man Who Was Thursday, Chesterton places each character in ceremonial garb meant to personify the days of the week. They are all described, though not in excruciating detail - it only takes up a few pages. | |

JAG features full display of uniforms from the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps worn by mostly good looking people. Ironic though is that the episode ("Gypsy Eyes") for which they won an Emmy for costumes featured no naval uniforms at all. |

The Twilight Saga often gets into this, especially when Bella is whining about some spectacular designer outfit Alice forced her to wear and of course whatever beige ensemble Edward is wearing at the moment. Admittedly, Meyer manages to tone it down by the last book by staggering the descriptions instead of creating walls of text. | |

The Hunger Games : Each tribute gets a personal stylist and the series includes costumes that are literally on fire; Costume Porn is basically Cinna's entire job. Looking flashy outside of the arena serves a practical purpose, though: tributes who catch the audience's eye are more likely to receive sponsors who can help them survive the arena. Mentioned to have sometimes in the past been literal costume porn; the Capitol is not afraid to incorporate nudity or partial nudity as part of a child's costume for the cameras. Beyond that, Suzanne Collins uses this trope more generally to illustrate the absolute excess of the Capitol citizens. | |

Assassin's Creed II goes its way to show off the opulent outfits of the Renaissance period, unusually focusing mainly on the male wardrobe. The Assassin's uniform is of course the most notable example and a major departure from the simple robes of the first game. Ezio in Brotherhood with this outfit.◊ That costume is loosely based on the Renaissance fashions and should accommodate walking, running, and possibly even semi-formal duelling. However, there's no way that anyone could climb in it without the loose cloth sticking to every nook imaginable. |

Cesare - Il Creatore che ha distrutto: It's the Renaissance, the Borgias, the Medici. Priests are supposed to be humble, you say? Well, one future pope who appears here wears fur and a golden collar; another always has silk robes with sleeves down to the floor. Cesare himself has several fine costumes as well — the black with gold embroidery, or the green with feathered hat and gloves draped over his belt that he wears in the act 1 finale. | |

Once Upon a Time is known for this, especially for the villainous characters whose outfits are usually very detailed and flamboyant as opposed to their Disney counterparts.

Spitfire, fittingly for a book whose POV characters are all royals or extremely high nobility, delivers this trope regularly. Princess Allene in particular is something of a vain dresser, and frequently spends a few paragraphs of narration at a time on the state of her clothing, as well as hair and makeup. Feon and Caederyn pay less attention to their own dress, but both demonstrate a keen eye for the outfits of other characters they encounter. | |

Frozen II deserves a mention, because the first film only had two outfits for its female leads - each with a ballgown for the coronation, and then a practical mountain climbing dress for Anna and a Simple, yet Opulent ice dress for Elsa. In the sequel however, the characters get multiple outfits per scene, taking advantage of the Animation Bump (the first was somewhat rushed and had to be ready in a year, while the second had a higher budget and longer development). And as it ends with Anna becoming Queen of Arendelle, she gets a fancy gown to go along with it. | |
