The uses were and still are the following:
• Like the set, costume can locate the historical period in which the director has opted to place the play.
• Costumes also stress the geographic locations of the play. Any kind of regional costume, for example, can indicate that a character originates from a location outside the setting of the main action.
• One of the chief functions of the costume is to reflect a character's personality; this can either be reflected in a naturalistic approach to an individual character's taste in dress, or be a more symbolic reflection of character.
• Costumes also give information about the season of the year and the weather conditions in which the play is set, and help indicate the time of day. Such details can be expressed through the designer's choice of weight, decoration and cut of the fabric and the layers of clothing worn by a character.
• Costume should also convey a character's profession or occupation.
• Costume can also emphasize the dramatic polarity or similarities of femininity and masculinity.
• Above and beyond the practical considerations of depicting character and helping create a time and a place, costume also augments pageantry and spectacle.
