I just finished repairing the Bloo costume. It was an adventure. ORD had given me some of the steel boning the creator had used to give it its shape, but I had no way to cut it. Luckily a maintenance guy in the hotel did it for me.
Yeah, the costume was in much worse shape this year than last, last year I could just re-glue the boning, this year I had to tear a lot of it out and replace it. At least there were no actual rips or tears in the fabric this time.
