I am really starting to loath a costume item that requires near daily maintenance. Especially when it's an essential item, and when it takes precedence over less prominent clothing. My pair of full-body undergarments, revealed only briefly at the end of the show, are worn from curtain up and as such get plenty of wear and tear. Mostly tear in this case.
The most frustrating thing is that my efforts are all for nought. The fabric isn't exactly brand new, and many wearers and washes have worn the material so thin that it has gone from tearing to completely vanishing, leaving the odd loose thread and a gaping hole in its place. I try to see these holes, but this just makes the costume tighter, meaning more rips begin to creep their way in. A vicious catch-22 of thread and needle, though I haven't stabbed myself recently I suppose (touch wood).
