Not to be confused with Fusion or Grand Theft Me, but somewhat similar to Sharing a Body in some cases (but not always). Examples of Two Men, One Dress include:

| - A subtrope to the Totem Pole Trench, this is when two or more characters, usually for reasons of comic relief or Fan Service, share a costume/disguise, be they friends, rivals, main characters, mooks or even (for bonus points) arch enemies. An example of the trope is the classic four-legged animal costume (where one character plays the head and front legs, while the second plays as the butt of the joke...literally). Other times it'll be less obvious, where a dwarf might sit on the shoulders of a giant and have a concealing jacket (or the like) to make the look of a Genius Bruiser, or to simply get both characters past an obstacle without leaving one of them behind. A more cunning way of doing this involves a latex suit but sometimes this can backfire due to the strain of too many people in one costume, or the opposite, not enough strain to look "natural."
