Why is it feminine?
Costumbres is feminine because it derives from the Latin "consuetudo" (also feminine), which comes from "consuetus" (accustomed). Latin feminine nouns ending in "-tudo" typically became feminine "-umbre" nouns in Spanish, preserving their gender. This is a regular pattern rather than an exception, similar to other Spanish words like "certidumbre". Note: "plenitud" actually ends in "-itud" (not "-umbre") and follows a different but related pattern.
