Big Girl's Blouse was an Australian sketch comedy programme that was broadcast in the mid-1990s on the Seven Network, created by Gina Riley, Jane Turner and Magda Szubanski. Early versions of the trio's Kath & Kim characters, Kath, Kim and Sharon, were first featured together in several sketches based around Kim's wedding. There were four one-hour episodes, plus the pilot, which are usually shown as eight half-hour episodes. The phrase "Big Girl's Blouse" is a British English idiom meaning "ineffectual or weak, someone failing to show masculine strength or determination." Many of the sketches from it are still available on YouTube. This was the third sketch show created by Riley, Turner and Szubanski following Fast Forward and later Something Stupid.
