@ Katydidit :

There were other exceptions, as well. Jennette McCurdy wore more feminine outfits in iTwins (as Melanie), iSpeed Date, iCarly Awards, and iWas A Pageant Girl.

As I recall, the commentators on TV Tropes cited Jennette's outfits in those episodes as an example of the trope, "She Cleans Up Rather Nicely."

There's a general perception that Sam's wardrobe on the show has become softer and "girlier" in recent episodes. I don't know if I really agree with that (though her hair and makeup certainly have).
