Heck, I even have two characters who have the invisible bugs from way back. One has no chest at all and one has no arms. Now if I went to the tailor with these, I would expect to have to change. But what looks like a normal costume...grrr. |

Not true. No costume parts have been removed from the tailor in years. Unless all of your characters have Malaise pants, you shouldn't be running into this that often.|

What you are most likely running into is costume parts that have been moved in the costume creator. In this case, you'll need to find the new location of the costume part and put it back on the character. Yes, you will be charged a fee for putting the costume back the way it was, but that's why we're given so many Costume Change tokens.
The biggest cause of this (for me) is the recent merging of the normal head with the "Masks With Hair" category, since the two had a LOT of redundant options. If your costume had either of these head styles, you'll likely have to fix the costume before you can change it. However, anything you had made that got invalidated by this change definitely CAN be recreated with the modified system.

I don't have that. I actually have pretty normal stuff (minus the invisible parts). I swear that every single face I must have used in the past must be discontinued now.

OK, yeah, there were a few combinations (mostly two animated back item combinations) that were invalidated, but these were never supposed to be there in the first place, so they're basically the same as the invisible arms costumes.

Nope! Read my post just above this one! The faces are still there, just moved!

I disagree. Nearly every time I open the tailor, the pop-up comes up saying if I proceed I will need to make changes to my costume. I cannot do anything with my current costume because I open and it is already changed. Of course if I exit out, nothing changes permanently.|

Some of it I may be able to recreate, I haven't tried. Even that would be frustrating, though.
One I opened last night, the ENTIRE body was different. I am not sure what it was called, but it kind of looks like rocks, but it is a costume. Also, there was NOTHING but hair on his head, so it wasn't the "masks with hair". Mind you, most of the ones I am changing were created i3-i4.

Every character using "Masks with Hair" or "Standard" heads have to update after that merge. Every character. Just sayin'.|

Chances are pretty darn good that all your stuff is there, you just need to reselect it. It's often as simple as hitting the reset button.

Actually, there are some faces that are no longer there. At least, on one of my older characters, there is no matching face detail that matches it, however, I made this character back when malaise pants was an option...also lucky in that I don't really care for the face as much as I like Young Face 6 |

While I know and understand this, I usually just exit out because, "Eh, too much work." Especially when you're trying to find a face that matches the "old" one currently on a character. Unless I really need to update the costume or use one of the cool new pieces I have, it's, "Welp, guess not tonight."|

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

This is where I am at. I guess people have corrected me in that "somewhere" it is all there, but it's not worth it to me, either. Frustrating.

I know of at least one combination of costume parts that are now invalid, that can't be recreated currently. Female: Baggy Shirts + Roman Breastplates. Before, they worked just fine with only minor clipping. I liked this, as it looked like my character was wearing proper cloth padding under her armor.
The options exist still, but *something* is different in that if you try to recreate it now, there is TERRIBLE clipping with the breastplate & the shirt underneath.
She's a Broadsword scrapper, and I want to update her sword with that outfit, but in order to do so, I'd have to switch from Baggy Shirt to Tights. While the difference isn't that big, it's still big-enough IMHO that it doesn't look quite as good.
