Under the new rules, Costume Designer covers the following:
Costumes [by],
Costume Supervisor,
Gowns [by],
Wardrobe [by],
Wardrobe Designer,
Wardrobe Supervisor

In the movie "3 Days of the Condor" there is a credit in the beginning of the movie that says
Ms. Dunaway's Clothes
Theoni V. Aldredge
Would this be considered a Costume Designer or would it need to be exact per the list above?

I'd leave it off if i were profiling it.  Don't know if this person designed them, sewed them or ironed them.
Bad movie?  You're soaking in it!

Don't know if this helps, but the Oscars database only lists one costume designer.

Quote:
COSTUME DESIGNER(S): Joseph C. Aulisi.


Now they do list the person, but only as Costumes.

Quote:
COSTUMES: Theoni V. Aldredge



Going by that, it looks like the Academy doesn't consider the person as a Costume Designer.

Another question about this profile there is a credit for "Ms. Dunaway's Hairdresser" in the rules it states
Quote:
Chief Makeup Artist,
Department Head, Make-Up Artist,
Head Make-Up Artist,
Key Make-Up,
Key Make-Up Artist,
Key Makeup Artist & Hairstylist,
Lead Makeup Artist,
Make-up,
Makeup and Hair Designer,
Makeup Artist,
Make-Up Designer,
Makeup Artist & Hair to [Cast Name],
Makeup for [Cast Name]

Are Hair and Hairdresser the same thing or should Hairdresser not be credited?

Hair only credits should not be contributed.

Hair is only listed because of the number of combined Make-up and Hair credits.  It's the Make-up we are crediting.

Indeed. I've found this to be a fairly common mistake: people have glanced over the credits table, feel they've seen "hair" somewhere, and start entering hair-credits all over the place. But they're really not allowed at all.

I almost made this mistake myself.  I had to go back and reread the rules because I had come across a 'Mr. X's hair by' credit and entered it.  Fortunately, the light bulb went off before I hit the contribute button.

Agreed! If only this could be enforced somehow...

Why?  If a person is credited with the proper role, why shouldn't they be entered into the profile?

Just like someone says in a movie: "There can be only one!".

The logic i apply is that the goal is to identify the Costume Designer (or equivalent person(s) in the other categories).  If i find the Costume Designer then i don't add any of the other "equivalent" names such as "Wardrobe By", etc.

Likewise, if i find Sound Re-recording Mixers credited that way i don't then additionally add re-recordists.

I only seek out the alternate (as i see it) credits if the main/common ones aren't used.  It's a more conservative approach that better expresses the main credits, IMHO.

That said, i wouldn't remove those re-recordists i find listed along with the explicitly credited Sound Re-recording Mixers because they are technically correct even if they are not (again IMO) value added.
