Worst Costume you've ever seen...
Re: Worst Costume you've ever seen...
Mansion is blouses and skirts now???!!! It was dresses forever and a day...
Well, I've looked over all the posts and you guys are soooooooooo lucky you're too young to have worked at the Park in the late 70's and early 80's for the horrid, gawd-awful polyester double knit that used to populate Tomorrowland - my friends working the old Monsanto ride complaining about the pants crotches that were cut so low they were down to the knees (this was the girl's pants). And the double ugly old Monorail uniforms - navy and light blue with this funky box-like hat - ugh.
BTW - I *liked* the old Tiki dress - if you got one a size too big it was sooooo comfy in the summer - that was the only sleeveless costume around - and sandals were legal with that one. Who wants to be dressed like a pirate in 3 or 4 layers when you can wear a nice cool dress (even if it was orange - which is my least favorite color). You want inconvenient - the old pirate pants used to zip on the left hip, which was a pain in the ass to get to under the vest and belt if you were in a big hurry. The good thing about the old pirate vests and blouses was that they were lower cut, so you could at least show your assets by not pulling the drawstring all the way if you had a good figure, and really look like a girl ;) - a questionable costume was the winter Matterhorn - those stupid doubleknit polyester ski pants that only looked good if you were a size 8 or smaller - fortunately, when I was always stuck in Fantasyland, I was a size 6 (those were the days!).
And the abso-friggen-lutely worst, ugliest costumes as far as I was concerned were the old Videopolis guest control monstrosities we had to wear for Beauty and the Beast - bright pink, bright turquoise, bright yellow and bright blue. I think they were based on 1930's ushers uniforms, which were cute in an old fashioned way, but damn these things were cut too baggy to look good on anyone, and I defy anyone to show me the person (aside from Barbie) who looks really good in Pepto Bismol Pink.

I dunno... Reese Witherspoon seemed to pull it off pretty well in Legally Blonde.
"How much are the mugs? Well the 13 large signs at eye level all say the mugs are $12.99.. so I'm gonna go with that."
Re: Worst Costume you've ever seen...
Yup Short sleave blouses with a collar at the neck, dark green skirt and an apron (the blouses and aprons are made of a green and navy stripped fabric). The bat hat lives on....BirdMom wrote:Mansion is blouses and skirts now???!!! It was dresses forever and a day...

These are the rafts TO the island. Not AROUND, not OVER, not UNDER and not THROUGH. Thank you for riding T. Saywer's shuttle service please visit again.
Re: Worst Costume you've ever seen...
Maybe I should have defined that a little better - a civilian person - not a doll, not a celebrity - the costume designers dye things just so to ensure the actress doesn't look less than wonderful in the costume (if it's called for - if she's supposed to look awful, she's supposed to look awful)...Tara_Lee3 wrote:I dunno...

Re: Worst Costume you've ever seen...
I would say just about any uniform at Wonders of Life pavillion. A terrible turquoise/blue with neon green and neon pink stripes.... :notallthe
It's horrid! I've never seen a CM smile wearing one of those.

The Shrek 4D costumes, at Universal Studios Orlando, while not looking incredibly ugly or uncomfortable still, it looked like they just felt uncomfortable looking like Robin Hood knock-offs.

Re: Worst Costume you've ever seen...
I assume they're the same ones we wear. They're actually VERY comfortable, provided wardrobe gives us pants that aren't two sizes too big (like mine yesterday...)LittleOriginalOne wrote:The Shrek 4D costumes, at Universal Studios Orlando, while not looking incredibly ugly or uncomfortable still, it looked like they just felt uncomfortable looking like Robin Hood knock-offs.
Re: Worst Costume you've ever seen...
Yeah, but the men's front desk costume runs a close 2nd. I was deployed at Pop Century for a week last Fall...felt like I was dressing like Will Smith in the Fresh Prince of BelAir....welcome back to the late 80s/early 90s with those shiny baby poop mustard-colored shirts and blueberry colored pants! Then add on the cranberry maroon Ward Cleaver cardigan sweater if you were cold....who the heck dreamt up these combinations? Bleh!Jennly wrote: Next would have to be the current Pop Century female costume. June Cleaver LIVES!

You realize that is to ensure that you are never, ever tempted to keep the costume for posterity?! ;)Ho-say wrote: those shiny baby poop mustard-colored shirts and blueberry colored pants!

Re: Worst Costume you've ever seen...
Pooh's Corner - ugliest ever. As for Baazar/AL culottes, have you tried wearing them backwards? Much easier to get in and out of for bathroom breaks (if they don't catch you wearing them incorrectly).DPRSSDNKY wrote:I work out in Pooh's Corner and despite looking like I came straight out of "Heidi" They are pretty comfy. The ones I can't stand at Adventure land stores- brown culottes that add about 5 inches to each hips!Plus you can forget about using the bathroom on a 15 min break-it takes 20 just to get out of that thing.
