A moderately-sized rectangular gap between clothing that exposes the character's [[stomach]]. The total amount of exposed skin should equal no more than half the stomach’s surface; with waistline bottomwear the gap ends slightly above the [[navel]], though it can shift to accommodate "high-waist clothing":[/posts?tags=high-waist_*].

Use midriff when there are regular clothes above (e.g. a [[crop top]]) and below (e.g. [[pants]]) the stomach, but the stomach is bare or visible beneath [[see-through]] clothing. Not limited to " 
things that exist in real life":[/posts/4355324].

h6. Midriff should not be used for:

* A substitute for stomach, or implicated by it.
* Characters that are [[topless]], [[bottomless]], or [[nude]].
* Characters wearing any form of [[swimsuit]], most often [[bikini]]s, [[bikini top only]], or [[bikini bottom only]].
* Characters wearing any type of underwear, such as [[bra]]s and [[panties]], unless they're visible beneath normal clothing.*
* An [[upper body]] shot that features qualifying topwear, but no bottom is visible.

[b]Note[/b]: Midriff may still apply to otherwise disqualifying clothing if it is "underwear worn as outerwear":[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwear_as_outerwear], such as [[sports bra]]s, [[camisole]]s, [[tank top]]s worn with panties, and so on.
