The term costume can refer to wardrobe and dress in general, or to the distinctive style of dress of a particular people, class, or period. Costume may also refer to the artistic arrangement of accessories in a picture, statue, poem, or play, appropriate to the time, place, or other circumstances represented or described, or to a particular style of clothing worn to portray the wearer as a character or type of character other than their regular persona at a social event such as a masquerade, a fancy dress party or in an artistic theatrical performance.

Theatrical costume

Costume used in yakshagana-a theater art from India.

One of the more prominent places people see costumes is in theatre, film and on television. In combination with other aspects, theatrical costumes can help actors portray characters' age, gender role, profession, social class, personality, and even information about the historical period/era, geographic location and time of day, as well as the season or weather of the theatrical performance. Often, stylized theatrical costumes can exaggerate some aspect of a character; for example Harlequin and Pantaloon in the Commedia dell'Arte.

How accurate are the costumes and characters in the new movie Marie Antoinette?
Q. How accurate are the costumes, specifically the "Court uniform" worn by the Dauphin and the King? Also, are all of the characters you see or at least see more than once based on members of the Royal Family and other known people? Did the producers/script writers have particular personages in mind when they show them in the movie like this? (the chatty women who are always talking about people and were standing in the woods and complaining when Marie Antoinette first came to France, the people at the dining table with the gossip going on when Marie first inquired who the King's mistress was in the movie, and various other characters). I know the mistress is based off real, and the main characters that are "named", but I was wondering about… [cont.]

They are all very brightly coloured, this gave the lavish image that the film maker desired, however in truth ,arie antoinette would have worn more deep and majestic colours like red and blue. As for the clothes of the Dauphin and louis XV their costumes were fairly accurate. Most of the characters are based on real people. The two chatty women who were in the woods when Marie Antoinette first arrived were Madame Victoire, and Madame Adelaide, the were the daughters of Louis XV who never married and lived at versailles all their days as spinsters until the revolution, they were know as Les Mesdames Tantes, as they were the aunts of Louis XVI.
