A costume is something you wear when you're in a different persona. I disagree with the statement that costumes are usually low on the fund scale, a lot of people invest a LOT of time and money into costumes. Your uniform is a uniform. Work costume, or clothing... its a uniform. Same thing with military uniforms... they're uniforms. When auditioning we're taught to think of what we wear as a costume so we think of it as a little play instead of an audition, and it's supposed to empower us.
As for Conventions, I think it's pretty obvious who's wearing a costume and who's wearing clothes.
