Why nothing but Broadway and Hollywood?

I think it's rather odd that an entry on costume design presumes that the only two venues for it are Broadway/off-Broadway (and only of the past few decades), and Hollywood. What of costume designers for the stage outside of the US? Why no mention of such as Leon Bakst, Picasso and other designers for European stage productions? Why no historic references? Why no opera or ballet? Why no Ballet Russes? I don't have expertise in this subject, so it's not as appropriate for me to expand the entry, but _someone_ certainly ought to tackle it!

Agreed: this entry is too biased towards the USA and needs some work to make it more generic and relevant to those of us who are interested in the rest of the world. Nicole A. Jenkins (talk) 05:30, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note to designers who want to be linked from this entry

Wikipedia is not an advertising forum. Do not add a link to your costume design website in the External Links section. It will be removed. If you revert it, you may be banned or the WP entry locked. The External Link section is intended for linking to academic sites, costume museums, etc. Bricology (talk) 19:17, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Recommend removal of link to "Tentacle Studio" on these grounds. Nicole A. Jenkins (talk) 05:32, 17 July 2008 (UTC) theiwero dkjkei weweoisd wej[reply]

Complete rewrite

The article required a complete rewrite and reorganising. The page Costume designer had been redirected to this page but a mistype showed that the page Costume Designer has existed for some time. So I have moved all relevant information to that page and will be requesting a move to the proper title.--Amadscientist (talk) 13:30, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Self promotion verses context to prose, notability for inclusion

The use of work from those editing this page must comply with all guidelines and policies. No undue weight, self promotion etc. If you are stating that "you" yourself are notable enough for mention within this article, the claim must be sourced per MOS. Use of images for context is fine following procedures established by community consensus.--Amadscientist (talk) 04:59, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edits and Reconstruction

This article was the subject of an educational assignment. Further details were available on the "Education Program:CUNY, Brooklyn College/Theater History from 1642 (Spring 2013)" page, which is now unavailable on the wiki.

Over the next few months, as part of a Graduate class assignment, I will be adding/reorganizing this article by dividing it into several sections: 1) Introduction 2) Origin and history 3) Design Process 4) Production Process 5) Fields and types of costume design and how they relate or differ from one another
