I have encountered this as well. Is this intentional? After aligning with the KDF, a permanent sneer or snarl was added to my character's face, altering the appearance of his mouth and nose. Any time I enter the tailor, that sneer is added to the face and cannot be removed. If this is an intentional addition based on the alignment choice, this should certainly be an optional extra, not a permanent and unalterable addition to the character's face.
On a Romulan Female all of the different vests seem to clip around the shoulders and armpits, mostly armpits. Looks horrible.
Also noticed that at the tailor at the Romulan Flotillia, you have to zoom in or out to see your character, otherwise it looks blank. Took me a while to find that one out.
I find the lighting in the tailor (specially in the flottila) to be incredibly dark, making it hard to tell if you want that color or not, I have to choose a color, leave the tailor go walk under a light source and see if it looks good or not..
I think there needs to be 1 or 2 more civilian clothing options, not full sets just maybe another type of shoe/boot another wrap..or maybe give us the hoodie option?
I have clipping issues as well from what others posted, plus some belts dont sit right either and clip as well..
The Tal Shiar Uniform you get after the mission does not display or render correctly. Only that grey blob appears while my BoFF can wear the uniform correctly.
There is also a problem with the Tal Shiar belt option. It isn't available for me, but for my BoFF. In return I can wear the chest chain-link, but my BoFFs cannot.

My female Romulan can wear the blet, but I have no chest gear option. That's strange.
I want to express that I definitely like all of those new uniform options... some mopre and some less. The thing i do NOT like is that unlike Starfleet Chars they are restricted ... not all parts are available to all Boffs. My main can use everything... Romulan Boffs (except the 4 first ones) can use only the Republican options. Starfleet/KDF Boffs as allies use thei own uniforms.
I will not tolerate this sort of Carnival on my ships. Also the Nemesis Reman uniform of the Legacy pack is supposed to be only for Reman Chars and Boffs. Why?? Roumlans have less uniform models than Starfleet by far. Please do not restrict Romulan players by having 3 uniforms in their teams instead of one.
Sorry Devs ... please let the players handle whom they fit up in what uniform. Thats freedom of choice. For instance when i plan to go on an undercover mission... thouroughly as possible I would revise the entire away team in fitting clothes not just the leading man.
Its just my opinion of that. Understandable if its not all possible. Oh and you did GREAT work on those uniforms just to say the truth!
I liked the selection of civillian options at the beginning. I really thought the informal selection with the older ship at the beginning was awesome, it added to the tone of the missions and really gave it that Maquis/freedom fighter feel. I would love some more military options for later, as things become more organized and you start commanding newer ships. You can never have too many clothing options. As evidenced by the amount of clothing I've bought for my Sims from the Sims 3 online store.
My only complaints are those that others have had, namely the clipping issues and I would love to see the ability to display rank on the military uniforms. Other than that I was able to make a costume for my Romulan that I was pretty happy with.
At the tailors the Tal'shiar costume looks like featurless, shiny, grey pvc, there no detail at all.
Also when you choose bare chest on the Klingon Romulan armour 1 it clips your jacket, and the Klink designs look way better than the Fed design anyways. :P
Posted this elsewhere but, after choosing the KDF to be my allies I went to the tailor and messed around with the costumes. Choosing Romulan Klingon 2 in belt gets this really neat all over series of belts and pouches, except for the three clasps on apparently nothing that appear right over the throat.
The color selections between the federation and romulan parts need to be opened up a bit so you can match colors better. The 'pre-tinting' gives you problems matching a top and a bottom. And the Romulan Female survivor belt clips at the back.

I agree completely. I had no choice but to select white for my Fed Romulan's undershirt collar because the tinting made everything else come off slightly purple.

I posted a bug report on this already, here's a link:
Apart from the examples everyone else has already posted, I noticed the romulan civilian skirt waist area clips pretty badly with most jackets and the KDF chest armor. Pretty much every upper body clothing item except the default civilian vest actually.
The checkered portion of the "Federation" undershirt seems like it "should" match the material of the checkered portion of the jacket but it doesn't. The material of the undershirt seems to be shinier and less textured.
Didn't you realize? You see Romulans smiling much less often then Klingons and scowling ALOT more.
No, Romulans weren't prone to smiling. But their faces were generally more stoic, than.. scowling.
If I create a character with a specific look, I'd like it to stay that way. Seeing as they keep saying the Romulans are only Allied with the KDF/FEDs, I see no reason to have to adopt the scowl.
:P
If they don't change it... I'll just not roll a Rom Kdf character. I have more goodies on Fed side anyway, so it isn't a total loss.
PLEASE take out the "Klingon Scowl" .. I will NEVER play a Rom KDF if this is not removed.

If anything you can always play a female KDF-Rom. ;>
But seriously, I too hope this is a bug. Creating a character and advancing 10 levels of content only to realise that the KDF has beaten your face so hard it's permanently deformed is not something I as a player would like to see on my toon, especially in a MMO where character customization is kind of important for many people.
Thing is, it's a KDF-related bug, and after over three years spent playing STO they never make me stop worrying... (i.e. they may not be fixed at all).
I don't know if i am the only one out there who doesn't like there chat box half the size of the screen, i like it as a nice little box tucked into a corner.
However with the new UI (Dont get me wrong, i am a massive fan) and the design of the chat box channel selector being in the 'write text box' i find that i can only see one 3-4 letter word at a time while i am writing and if i wish to see it all i have to extend the box across the screen.
Updated Romulan and Reman costumes to resolve issues with pieces clipping through player bodies.
If by "resolve" you mean "we've removed most of the parts that caused issues" than it's a huge, huuuuge disappointment. Basically most customization options have been cut in half after this patch. Romulan Klingon belts have been modified, there's no "None" Undershirt option for Romulan Klingon Uniforms and I still don't see the Tal'Shiar Chest option for female characters.
I admired all the changes I've seen, but if by "update" you mean "removal" then that's certainly not a good thing to see...

This stinks. I can see changing the uniform options once you've allied with the FED or KDF but there is no good reason to permanently alter the player's face because of the alliance.
In the immortal words of Captain Sisko: "It may not be what you believe, but that doesn't make it wrong."
Don't believe the lies in this forum. I am NOT an ARC user. I play STO on Steam or not at all.
- As others have mentioned, there is some tearing/glitching on the civilian vest shirt whenever the character does something that involved upper body movement. Here's a couple of shots of my female character during the tutorial: Firing her pistol, Crouching with pistol drawn (also notice skirt clipping)
That's a glitch? I was thinking it was a strategically placed wardrobe malfunction.
The first time I saw that I heard Sterling Archer's voice saying, "Danger Zone!"

The KDF Romulan scowling really needs to be fixed. When visiting the tailor no head change options work and only one alternate head appears in the right hand screen. This single option is also unmodifiable and scowling.
One other thing I noticed is with the Romulan Republic Undershirt 1. When you change the colour of the piping on it, it changes the colour at the back on the bottom, but not the front at the bottom -

Yep, the Tal Shiar chest belts are missing for female Romulans but have they access to the belt while it's the other way around for male Romulans.

I think the fed/kdf allied unis are nice KDF being the cooler looking of the two sets.
However i think roms should have a wider range of unis
like
TOS
The movie unis (As seen in theatres)
TNG era unis
along with what we already have ingame
I like what we got so far but hey we can wish for more

While I agree, I assume that those options are going to be either C-Store, or lock-box options..
