I imagine this type of sewing and beadwork would be a little too complex for most little children. But why are we just worrying about costumes? Just about every other piece of cheap clothing we buy is much more likely to be using child labor.

Just an FYI about designers in general, which may not apply to the costumers, many don't even know how to make a pattern or sew! They are the ones who come up with the ideas, draw the pictures and find the fabrics, but as far as taking it from 2D to 3D, deciding what can and cannot work ... that's the patternmaker's job. The sewing, of course, is the job of the sample makers in the workroom and the factory workers in production. I know because I was a patternmaker in the industry for about ten years. That may not apply so much to the couture designers, some of whom have been top notch tailors.
