Costumes - need to have a way to know that a student who added late does not yet have a costume

Right now when I add a kid to an existing class for which costumes have been ordered it automatically adds their name to the "costume" page and has the "order" box checked. It is true that this child needs a costume ordered, but it doesn't note that the others have BEEN ordered and this one has NOT. Am I missing something? This makes me very nervous. In my old system, we had to actually assign a costume to each kid and it did not automatically add them to the costume list. This way I would see "10 kids in the class" but the costume list would say "9 costumes ordered for this class". I would know someone didn't have a costume ordered.
