I get the feeling that I could pick any costume totally at random and a certain poster would pick that as the "worst character costumes/designs ever." Beyond simply posting the images--I would like an explanation why that costume/design is the worst when compared against all the other costumes/designs ever seen.
Gypsy
Case in point: Gypsy. Part of the underwhelming Justice League Detroit, it's hard to believe this would be a practical choice for crime-fighting. When you're battling Despero, you shouldn't have to worry about hot pavement, losing jewelry, or upskirts. But the worst design here is actually the belt. It just doesn't look like you can bend down without stabbing yourself with the buckle.
Harpis
They've got an ugly gargoyle woman, and they choose to "sexy her up" with a cleavaged bathing suit! I think I'm gonna be sick.
Harlequin
Worst female costume goes to Harlequin though. The male pattern baldness, the birthday hat, the rimless glasses, the frou-frou collar, the tutu, the Trickster's pants and the elven shoes combine in such a way as to make my eyes bleed.

This costume was created in the 1940s...just like Wonder Woman's. Althought I am more fond of Molly's outfit, neither her nor WW's costumes has withstood the passage time. Let's accept they had a different aesthetic then.
As an aside, I am certain the "baldness" is just the artist's drawing style. I've seen other depictions of her with a full head of hair.
Black Condor (Richard Grey Jr.)
Orphan, grew up in Mongolia and was created by super intelligent condors. Yes, that's right, condors. That's the sad life of Black Condor. And then he decided to go around flying with his incredible cover-jamb turtleneck and his band tucked in his underwear. Notice that, at least, he is happy ?

Honestly, as a Gargoyle, she probably shouldn't have clothes to begin with. So I don't really fault the designer for adding that bit of clothing. I don't think it was an attempt to sexy up the character. Probably more to do with throwing something on like a swimsuit to cover up a creature that would more likely be nude.

Shatterfist
Seneca
The biggest thing I'm reminded of is how terrible the Who's Who entries looked compared to the OHOTMUs.
