It took me a few minutes to place why this top from episode 9 seemed so familiar, but I think it reminded me of the 2016 "Virgin-Killing Sweater" craze, except of course that this happened in a 2005 anime 11 years prior...

Not a 100% match of course because Mayumi's fabric crosses behind her upper arms (covering the upper back while exposing the lower back) instead of looping behind the neck like in the VKS.

I'm actually not really clear on what would actually be holding it up, like maybe it wouldn't slide down the arms if the loop was elastic and the friction stops it, but it doesn't really look like the arm portions are tight, they actually seem loose, ruining my theory...

I noticed in a couple of pics you had in her gallery she has a yellow sweater which sort of resembles this too:

From the front I'd say it looks the same in the anime, but the anime version seems to have a lower-cut back than in the visual novel, where it does dip down but there's no distinct piece coming across with bared skin beneath, so it seems like in the 1 year between 2004 for VN and 2005 for anime they decided to make an alteration!

That or maybe the 2 screenshots from the VN above are actually meant to be different yellow dresses? I notice the one on the left sort of has vertical lines (like in the anime) while the one on the right doesn't.
