It is very valuable to the actors and technical production staff to have sketches of the costumes available well before the production begins. In many smaller productions, the costume designer ends up working on the costume crew, or is the costume crew. Sometimes in these cases, much of the documentation process is ignored because it's just one person. This has the advantage of making the costume designer's job somewhat easier, but does not allow the rest of the production staff to have some sort of visual reference as to what direction the costume design is taking.
