costume malfunction

 I think I've mentioned before that one of the costumes I wear in the play I'm in (which takes place in the 50s) is a vintage dress from the 50s or earlier.  Once or twice when I've pulled it off over my head (the only way to get it off, and I am very gentle with it) I've heard suspicious little popping noises.  I left a note for the wardrobe person that I thought some threads were snapping in the waist.  I got a note back saying she didn't have time to work on this right now.  Tonight, when I took this old dress off after the performance I noticed a six inch gap across the back where the waist had torn out.  I know it wasn't like that when I put it on before the show but I'm not sure when it happened.  I didn't hear any ripping sounds when I was on stage, thankfully.  Our next performance is at 2:00pm tomorrow.  I wonder what I'll be wearing?
