Guys have hair. Some have a lot. They don't have to shave their legs. It makes sense to design costumes for summer and for winter. You know if Bob Iger was standing around outside, he'd have clothes designed for the weather. :)

Gustavo is adorable. No wonder the girls like him!
Agreed. I can't believe a comment was made about his hairy legs, what a weird thing to say lol.

I Agree I don't think they are the best offering for Cm costumes, also like you have stated there are some really good cm costumes that don't look cheap.

One of my favorites has to be story book circus. ^
This illustrates one of my biggest complaints about Disney costume design. It's so flat! That shirt is supposed to represent something that is a composition of layers, but it has none of that dimensionality. It's like a tuxedo t-shirt. No matter how well fitted, how fine of textiles used or how perfectly crafted, it will never look quite right. I understand that the weather is an issue, but a true attention to detail would seek out solutions other than a flattened look like a cheap Halloween costume would utilize.

It's a stage costume...no more no less. They are cast members playing a part on stage....if you look too closely you will see the stagecraft.

It's a stage costume we can see up close and thus needs to be adapted for such an interaction. Even in a stage production a costume that will be out amongst the audience will be treated differently than one that stays in the background. Would the costumes for The Haunted Mansion be so iconic if they were a single shirt instead of actual layers?

How many people have seen a Circus Ringmaster up close to really know the difference?

Even in pictures you can tell the costumes look cheap. JMO. The older ones looked of higher quality. And that's a picture. I'm sure they'd look cheaper in person.

They actually look pretty well made as I'm certain they are as they will get a lot of use and abuse with daily washings.
