I don't think theatrical costumes needs an IL, its red right now and I don't know what other information could be placed in sucha an article. KeepOnTruckin 14:49, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Some parts of this article seem a little off. It makes it sound as though people only dress up as supernatural creatures on Halloween, or that children only ever dress up as animals. What about princesses, fairies, pirates, cowboys/girls and the like? I've seen Halloween costumes of Jack Sparrow and Frodo Baggins, dragons, dinosaurs, etc. Halloween costumes are in no way limited to supernatural creatures (Would you consider dinosaurs supernatural? Or pirates?), and I think it's safe to say that play costumes are limited only by the child's tastes and the parents' income. 71.217.98.158 06:14, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Make A Separate Article of "Costume Construction"
Costume Construction redirects here, but it should be a topic of its own, like Costume design. For one thing, costume construction is a complicated and specialized art all its own, apart from the wearing or the general description of costume. For another, there is NOTHING about costume construction in this article! Someone needs to write a separate article about this. If I knew how to split off a redirect into a separate page, I'd do it, but I don't yet. Any takers? Artemis-Arethusa 23:41, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Removing image
I am removing this photo of User:Allyn from the article. Firstly, the garment is not common attire for a ball, or for Christmas. Second, the user that uploaded the photo (and is modelling the garment in the photo) designs and sells them from his personal website, thus violating Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest#Self-promotion. Thirdly there are already a number of photos illustrating the topic of the article, and Wikipedia is not a repository of images.
