The Costume Designers Guild Award for Outstanding Made for Television Movie or Miniseries was one of the annual awards given by the Costume Designers Guild from 2005 until 2014.
At the 1st Costume Designers Guild Awards ceremony (celebrating excellence in film and television of 1998), all television programs, regardless of genre or format, competed in a combined Excellence in Television category. Among the inaugural nominees, all five were either limited series or television films, which makes it the only time with no regularly continued series recognized by the Guild. Starting from the subsequent ceremony, several genre-specific categories have been introduced. Since its inception and from 2015 onwards, miniseries and television films, among other shows were admitted, in accordance with their respective genres, into either Excellence in Contemporary, Period, or Sci-Fi/Fantasy Television.
