h4. Notable examples
* [[Winged Victory Mercy]] ([[Overwatch]])
** Alternate skin of [[Mercy_(Overwatch)|]].
** Wears a [[laurel crown]].
** Wears a [[chiton]], with a short [[peplos]] pinned over it using two fibula brooches.
** The peplos is an exaggerated Spartan-style peplos, with side slits. This is worn to give a [[pelvic_curtain|crotch flap]] or a 'tabard'-like appearance.
** Most fan artists will not depict the peplos. Instead Mercy's upper garments will be merged into a single [[chiton]] 'dress', with the brooch-pins being purely vestigial. Such cases should not be tagged [[peplos]].
*** In such cases, the crotch flap and other dangly cloth bits may often be depicted as wrapped around her other clothes. Tagging [[himation]] would be appropriate then.
