Both [[BeautyIsNeverTarnished Sayori/Hatsuhime]] and the guys remain equally clean, with untattered clothes, despite the amount of bloodshed the guys cause. Even when they're said to be injured in text, it never shows up in the art.

Edna, the FABULOUS fashion designer for supers, made the costumes for each superhero bulletproof, rocketproof, fireproof, and adapt to each user's superpower (for example, Violet's costume became invisible when she did). Plus, they're machine-washable.

* One minor benefit of the Creature of Fable arc from ''TabletopGame/ChuubosMarvelousWishGrantingEngine'' is that [[RealityWarper the world will tend to bend]] so that your preferred look is dominant at all times.
