Ok, first, Elsa was in Storybrooke probably a week tops. but you're right that it was kinda ridiculous that they didn't bother to change her from her iconic dress, particularly since she was staying with the Charmings. But on that one, I will say that the execs may not have had too much choice in the matter, since they were limited with what they could do with Elsa and co.

Now, with the QoD, I think there were more than just one or 2 outfits for them. I mean, Ursula and Cruella had lived in the LWM for 29-30 years, so know the customs and fashions, and Mal adapted quickly.

With Arthur and Co, I would say that the not changing to modern attire was a deliberate choice, and in this case, I would say it was the right call. And again, they were in SB probably 1 week, give or take, between when the gang returned from Camelot to when they departed for the UW. Merida spent much of her time as a prisoner of Emma, and did not have the opportunity to visit anywhere to get clothes. And when you are dealing with the issues that were going on, you're not going to take the time to change your wardrobe. Not in the first week, anyway.

Having said all of that, I agree that they could probably do better in changing characters wardrobes in SB, and hopefully we'll see more costume transition in Season 6.
