Is there a term for the process of putting a hot female character in a skin-tight uniform into a show to draw more dudes into watching it, á là Seven of Nine?

TV Tropes doesn't already have a file on that practice?

Turns out they do: "Ms. Fan-Service".

Fan service and male gaze are both too general but it's definitely A Trope.

...and the skin-tight super-large breasts in comics was already well-travelled.

That's why I'd go with Blow-up Barbie
