It really was the worse. I think only Willow's Elmo pelt approaches it in ugliness, and at least that was just the shirt. These were three bad pieces, shoved together, with the only uniting theme being ugly-badness.
I had tears in my eyes, and was breathless when I read that TWoP recap, because just...yes.
I am not in love with the costumes as a whole, to be quite honest, but man that was bad!I am 37, and have not an ounce of style. I wear jeans and sweaters in the cooler months, and jeans or shorts, and something that won't make me hot, as a shirt, in the summer. So, I am no fashionista to begin with. What I appreciated about the costumes though, was that although they don't look like anything I see people wearing, they left me with the same feeling I get when I look at younger people (teens, primarily) and think, "Hmm. Is that a style?" In other words, I bought that they wore those clothes, although my Buffy never wore that outfit in The Replacement. Maybe my Buffy would have owned those three pieces, but she wouldn't have worn them together.
