I dont know if I would call them hideous as a Costuming's Wardrobe Malfunctions:

Countdown to extinction/Dinosaur: THey originally were supposed to be grey jumpsuits with a cool utility belt, and a amock for upstairs positions.....well we got a white/yellow/and black shirt with white pants that had no belt loops
with two tiny buttons and a zipper. the zipper on the shirt only came about 5/8 down the shirt and were to be tucked into the pants. Well the lovely look was a bunch of exposed navels/skin above the pant line, and our lovely pants. Found out after the first rainstorm our lovely costume went see through, Everything was on stage for the guest pleasure. Not only that you would be standing at position and for some of us hefty folks the buttons would spontaneously unsnap and our pants would start to head south so many of us decoded to buy colorful boxers so that we could give the guest something fun to look at when it rained or had automatic pantsings on stage. Belt loops came pretty soon after that, but they never did fix the zippers on the shirts. and when the name changes they just ripped the logos off the costume and slapped diosaur logos on instead. Wouldn't want to redesign or anything.

Rock N' Rollercoaster: Dont know if this is still a problem, but we used to have one rotation when we first opened. The costumes were black jeans a nasty musical shirt and for the "parking Garage (Load n Unload)" we had red vests to wear over the shirts. Well great in theory,, however the monsoon season started and again Soaked to the bone, Raingear tends to get stolen on a regular basis, So on goes the vest inside, only dry bit of clothing most of us had. Bumped to FOH off comes the vesy...However the 10 cent red dye blead over the shorts and basically most of had a pink ghost vest on rest of the day (What? costuming change? not allowed) when I got home I found our other little problem....the Wrangler Jeans that had their label cut off and stitching dyed in BLACK, had faded onto the bottom of the shirt and my undies and sock were a lovely shade of grey black.

Soarin' (FL): Great looking Suit like outfit (very United AL), however jackets are mandatory at all times, because all positions are inside, except the A/C hasnt worked right since the Hurricanes passed and we've opened now, you do nothing but sweat all day long cause as our Soarin' Cast in Ca will tell you you move alot in the gate theatre areas. We do have a lovely vent in the back of our jackets but doesnt help. Pants and Shirts can be washed...Jackets DRY CLEAN ONLY..real smart! :mad:

Im sure there are many others at EPCOT too that hate their costumes...Have you seen MOUSEGEARS!

EPCOT...EVIL POLYESTER COSTUMES OF TERROR! :D:

LOL......re: see-thru costumes after a rainstorm. That happened to me when picking up a PAC shift at Magic Kingdom (costume consists of gray trousers, white dress shirt w/ Magic Kingdom logo tie, and black blazer). Was much too hot to wear the blazer, so I was allowed to take it off, then it down poured right before the parade was to step off. Needless to say, the damn cheap white dress shirts were *extremely* see-thru......not the worst thing for a guy, but I felt bad for the woman working with me (also wearing essentially the same costume) who *wasn't* issued a blazer! Poor thing I think that's maybe why she quickly disappeared backstage before I even had a chance to get her some rain gear or at least lend her my blazer...

from what i understand tokyo disney has a doozie with thier buzz costume, everyone wears a sorta skirt thing, i think, hard to tell which girls are actaully boys, in bad costumes. I'm checking the costuems from what can be seen in the pictures on the guest website, and they're all pretty bad so far.

ODV yellows! Those things made everyone one of us look ill! Plus, in the summer, if you were near any plant life, you attracted gnats!

Of course, we also got to wear merch. costumes in certain lands, and I must say the Critter Country prairie skirts weren't that pretty to look at, either!

the Yellows pants were like that dry...I remember seeing lots of underwear on the girls (I couldn't say if the guys were the same way...I only looked at the girls for this), and it wasn't because their pants were sagging. If they were darker than the Yellows (see my yellow square with stripes to the left if you don't remember what these looked like), they showed. Particularly if the pants were a little too tight, as was often the case in the Yellows of the mid-90's when Costuming never had the right sizes for us.

I talked to Horticulture about those things once. Turns out they're not gnats, but "Cuban Laurel Thryps". They live in Eucalyptus trees and are attracted to bright colors (particularly yellow) and hairspray ans well as some shampoos and conditioners, which is why if you look up during August (even if you aren't wearing bright colors) you'll probably see a few thousand right over your head and following you around. They bite, but aren't poisonous (and it's less discomforting than a mosquito bite, and they don't carry Malaria or West Nile Virus or anything). Who says working at Disneyland isn't educational?

The worst part was brushing them off your costume every five minutes so you didn't look like you had black dandruff.

Then there was the time in probably '95 or '96 (not long before the original Teals with the Mickey Ears in the corner, which came before the Marceline's Confectionary shirt with Tomorrowland merch pants which were sttill called Teals we had when I left before the return to themed costumes) when Costuming got us new shirts to replace the worn-out ones we'd been wearing. Under flourescent lights they looked the same color as the pants...but in sunlight, the conditions in which we wore them, they were about three shades darker and looked mis-matched.
