Anyone ever had a costume they hated? I've had some I didn't like, but until now they haven't actually been that bad. But now, my Music Man costume - it's just ... odd. It's in a mainly white and pink (but also with some blue and green) stretchy floral fabric which attracts static like anything, and it's all in one long piece, so it has no waist. Over the top is a tart pink (ie hot pink) bolero jacket which DOES NOT fit - it only looks good (well, reasonable) if I'm standing perfectly still with my shoulders slightly hunched over. My mother's going to try and do something with it (though she rejected my suggestion of burning the whole thing :

I don't mind the fact that it's pink, and I can live with the hideous fabric - I just would really like a costume that a) fits me and b) doesn't emphasise all my worst features - like a distinct lack of bust and what we might tactfully describe as 'child-bearing hips'.
Anyway, sorry to vent - what sort of terrible costumes have you all had??
