The Bunny costume (バニーコスチューム, Banī Kosuchūmu) is a revealing outfit for females that resembles a bunny.

Overview

The costume has six pieces: a black headband with black rabbit ears (hence the name), a white shirt collar with a red bowtie, a black leotard with a white cotton tail, a pair of blue tights, a pair of red high heels with ankle-straps, and a pair of white shirtcuffs.

Usage

Oolong had stored this in his House-Wagon. Bulma had no choice but to wear this as it was the only clean clothes around that fit her. When Master Roshi extinguishes Fire Mountain with the Kamehameha, Oolong is forced by Bulma to briefly Shapeshift into Bulma wearing the Bunny costume to fool Master Roshi, who wanted to touch Bulma's breasts as payment for extinguishing the flames on Fire Mountain, however her plan backfires when Oolong (in Bulma's form) goes overboard and ends up exposing her breasts to Roshi, angering Bulma. The costume also made people in Monster Carrot's Village think that Bulma was part of the Rabbit Mob.

Two random women are also seen wearing them in one of Master Roshi's daydreams.

Video Game Appearances

Bulma is seen wearing it in Dragon Ball: Advanced Adventure and in Dragon Ball: Origins. In Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2, one of the six costumes Bulma can be seen wearing at the capsule shop is the Bunny costume. Bulma wearing the Bunny costume is featured in Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle and Dragon Ball Legends as a playable character. Bulma wearing the Bunny costume also appears as a support item in Dokkan Battle as well. In Dokkan Battle, she is called Bulma (Bunny) when wearing the Bunny costume.

Trivia

The bunny costume is rather infamous for its role as the official uniform for the female workers at the Playboy Mansion in real life.
Oolong appears in the form of Bulma wearing the Bunny Costume during the infamous scene from the Emperor Pilaf Saga that the sexual term Puff Puff originates from.
In the dub for the scene where Bulma is forced to wear the bunny costume, she at one point asks sarcastically if it was Easter, alluding to the Easter Bunny, a mythical character that is purported to deliver Easter Eggs during the Easter holiday season.
The same outfit features prominently as the attire for female Jesters in Dragon Quest III, a game whose series is also produced by Akira Toriyama. In other games in the Dragon Quest series, it's often worn by girls working at bars or Casinos.
Interestingly, both Oolong and Puar have shapeshifted into women wearing Bunny costumes yet both are male in their true forms. Though Puar is considered female in the English dub, Akira Toriyama has gone on record to confirm Puar is male in the original manga and Japanese anime thus both instances count as gender bending being among the few examples of it in the series.
In addition to being tramatized by his past experience transforming into Bulma, Oolong could have also refused Master Roshi's request to in Dragon Ball Super on the grounds of wanting to avoid upsetting Bulma or worse her husband Vegeta if they found out about it. However as shown by Puar, Oolong could have transformed into a different female wearing the Bunny costume if he had been willing to help Master Roshi. Puar likely elected to use the form of a female wearing the Bunny costume that was not based on Bulma or any other female friends/associates out of respect and/or to avoid upsetting them should they find out.
