Falling is a very unladylike activity on the whole. There's lots of tumbling and screaming, your hair and clothes get ruined, and there's the danger people below may see your underwear. This trope offers an alternative for the more ladylike and feminine of tumblers, especially Princess characters with a Pimped-Out Dress. Basically, a character's dress or skirt flares out in mid-air, forming a parachute shape and somehow slowing their descent. The thicker and more layered the material the better. Don't worry about terminal velocities and drag coefficients (see Puny Parachute); the laws of physics tend to give way to the opportunity to see a slightly comical petticoat exposure. Incredibly, this trope is somewhat a Truth in Television. Hoop skirts (crinolines) did have a tendency to catch airstream and act like a drogue chute. There are cases of women on piers that were swept up by a gust of wind and carried out to sea. It was also a bad idea to hang around cliffs or tall buildings in this sort of contraption. Often a form of Improvised Parachute, but just as often it's accidental. Compare Parasol Parachute (often found on similar sorts of characters). |

In the first episode of Jack of All Trades, Jack rescues President Jefferson's niece from a French fort in Canada. To escape the fort, Jack and the girl jump off a high cliff. They are saved because Jack grabs on to her feet and her dress billows out to form a parachute showing her bloomers(Jack also gets an excellent view of her petticoats.) | |

Cruella gives us a literal example near the end of the film when Estella saves herself from an impromptu cliff-dive with a dress whose skirt can detach to become a functional, steerable parachute. Albeit an eclectic one, as it retains the intrinsic shape of a flattened skirt instead of (un)folding into a rectangular shape. | |

In Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas, Belle's dress balloons out for a very brief moment to slow her descent during "Stories". That said, Belle's dress acting as a parachute was only part of a storybook-like sequence and Belle does not actually float down with her dress in the movie's main story. | |

Rachel Alucard in BlazBlue. Ironically, although she wields an umbrella (a cat which turns into one, no less), she doesn't often use a Parasol Parachute, except in her intro poses and a special animation if you hold the strong attack button in the air (there's basically no advantage to using it, though, so you'll rarely ever see it.) | |

Jet Dream: In one story, Marlene's dress billows out into a "Tunic Chute" to save her from falling off a cliff to her death. Technically not "improvised," but a piece of spy gear designed for the purpose. It's a pretty goofy design, though, and one of the less "ladylike" examples, as just about any angle other than that chosen by the artist would give Marlene "full exposure." See Marlene's Tunic Chute in all its glory◊. | |

Played with in Macross Delta. The members of Walkure routinely end up falling, particularly during the final battle. Their fancy idol outfits do a lot to break their fall long enough for rescue to arrive......because their skirts are rigged with tiny thrusters that function as an emergency parachute. It creates the illusion of this trope since the devices are hidden underneath and flare the skirts out further. | |

The falling scene as Alice falls down the rabbit hole as her dress balloons out like a parachute which causes her to float in Disney's version of Alice in Wonderland (seen here). This trope is used to explain why she falls slowly enough to look around her and ruminate on the whole situation, which in the book goes unexplained. It was also used for Brooke Shields's guest appearance on The Muppet Show where she sang as Alice falling down the rabbit hole. It also happened in the 1988 Burbank Films Australia version. |
