Someone once famously said that all you need is love. We think we also need nachos, gas money, and cool stuff to watch on TV, but peace and love are definitely on that list, too. When your little gal is wearing this groovy Peace & Love Hippie Costume, she can help spread some good vibes, and everyone can just, like, mellow out, man!While this hip look will let your kid to show how much she digs universal love and world peace, there are a bunch of other things she could do to get into the groove even more. She could start a jam band with her pals and go on tour around the block, putting on folk festivals for the neighbors (trust us, once they put on a mini-Woodstock, lemonade stands will be a cinch). Or, if she's getting ready for Halloween, she could make flower garlands to give to her fellow trick-or-treaters to add a little good karma to the festivities. Nothing brings harmony to a bunch of kids dressed up as different monsters, superheroes, and cartoon characters like flowers and groovy jams!Okay, maybe all kids these days aren't into vintage hippie stuff, but that totally won't stop your little one from having a blast in her costume! This wild dress and the matching headband have symbols of peace and love printed all over them. It also comes with a fringed faux suede vest attached to the dress, along with some matching boot covers. If she needs any pointers for cool accessories to go with her retro ensemble, anything beaded or tie dyed will be just far-out, man!
Getting Into the GrooveDoes your little one have a free spirit? Does she know how to dance to the wildest beat even if she hasn't listened to a full Grateful Dead album yet? Can you see her taking to the streets for equal rights, justice, and peace? She just might be a hippie at heart! While parents in the sixties might have worried when they saw their kids getting drawn to radical patterns and progressive conversation, folks these days recognize a bright future for their kids! You can imagine a future that includes art, music, and brewing homemade kombucha. What's not to love about the modern hippy lifestyle? Embrace your kiddo's love of all things radical with a Woodstock hippie dress that'll make her look as groovy as she feels!Details & DesignWant a high-quality hippie look that your child can wear again and again? Then a Made by Us costume is a great way to go! Our designers put together a bright and cheerful hippie dress after choosing their favorite looks from the Woodstock era.

Some people say that the hippie movement was about promoting love, peace, and tolerance. But we were there, man, and from the roughly eight nonconsecutive minutes we can recall during the 60s we can say without a shadow of a doubt that they were about one thing only: outta sight, totally boss, shining, gleaming, streaming, flaxen, waxen hair. And we had the most hair. We even dodged the draft because the draft board mistook us for a lhasa apso napping on top of a pile of dirty laundry!If you want to look like a hippie but don’t want to spend two years sleeping in the backseat of a beat up 1958 Ford Edsel, then we’ve got you covered. Our Hippie Man Wig and Mustache will give you that hirsute come hither look you’ve been pining for in a matter of seconds thanks to the comfiness of the wig and the self-adhesive mustache! This may very well be as far out as it gets.
Nothing screams the 80s like an awesome pair of fishnet gloves that have no function other than to look amazing. Don't get us wrong, they do a great job of that. Just don't wear them around in the winter and expect not to get frostbite in diamond shapes like the holes in your new fashion statement. We guess that would be a pretty cool look as long as you didn't tell anyone the story of how you forgot the real winter gloves at home (eh, still not quite worth it.). Boy, what a weird time those mullet rocking ages were. At least the gloves looked really cool, even if they were also literally chilly as well. But if you do decide on that you might as well try a pair of neon blue ones to match the color of your frost bitten hands. Not convinced? Well there's always the fact that you can match these with any other radical neon colors we have, and look totally awesome at your next 80s dance party because nobody's going to dare put you in the corner with that attitude.

It’s hard to believe it now, but there used to be a time before mp3 players. There was a time before phones could hold a bazillion songs inside them. Why, there was even a time before CDs! Let’s take it back to 1985, one of the greatest years on this planet we call Earth.In 1985, you could carry around your boombox to share your music with the world. Now, you couldn’t fit this strange device inside your pocket and you actually had to carry it on your shoulder, which served two purposes. First, it made you look like one cool mamma jamma. Everyone knew that you were on top of your game when you strolled through the streets jamming some Grandmaster Flash on your boombox. The second reason for carrying it on your shoulder was the fact that you could aim the sounds. Just point the speakers in any direction and it turns the scene into an instant dance party.Of course, few of these actually exist in the wild these days, but this inflatable 80’s boombox accessory recreates the incredible historical device. Just blow it up, place it on your shoulder and then you’re ready to reenact the best decade in the entire history of mankind.

So get on these glad rags and get ready for some glitz and glam – the Deluxe Velvet Flapper costume will put you right back into the Roaring 20s.Think it’s a little bit racy?

This flapper style is all the rage, and it’s designed to fall just above the knee so you can show a little bit of leg while you’re doing to the Bunny Hug.The skirt has classic flapper fringe around the hem that flaps while you dance out on the floor. And the loose dress has a black velvet bodice with sequin trim at the neck that's sure to make you sparkle in the low light of the Halloween speakeasy. Silver sequins also adorn the skirt, headband and choker (you did want glitz and glam, right?). The drop waist skirt has a band of elastic to make it stay right at the hip while you’re shaking and dancing. Fringe and sequins also make the sleeves flapper appropriate. Now all you have to do is put finger waves in your hair and slip on your Mary Jane shoes to celebrate Halloween in perfect flapper style.
The 50s always seem like a more wholesome, innocent time.

Just have her show up to the dance wearing an adorable poodle skirt costume like this and the 50s might just start coming back. The 1950s, that is.

Your business model is sure to have those high power executives fighting each other to invest. They've just been waiting to wake up from their PowerPoint haze.

This Gold Disco Ball Tuxedo Costume on the other hand, is exactly the ticket you need. It's the kind of shine that gets you noticed the moment you walk in the door.

Physical fitness has always been an intensive industry. There are countless products aimed at ensuring that we’re in the right stance, lifting the right weight, eating the right balanced foods, sleeping the proper number of hours and in the right positions. Ugh. Who can keep track of all of that? Sure, we now have countless apps for our Smartphones, some of them even wearable on our wrists or clothes, all designed to tell us how well we’re doing and, in most of our cases, how much more we need to keep doing to catch up to that extra slice of pie we’re planning on for next month… but there is something critical that has been missing in our fitness routine for far too long.What about the fashion!?

What have we become: ninjas of the elliptical? What about the workout routines that inspired us to get up and moving in the first place? What about the color? What about… the ‘80s!?

Your little girl is all about the Roaring 20s. You can pin her interest for this time period down to her seeing The Great Gatsby. You didn’t even know she was awake, but then there she was dancing with all those people at a legendary Jay Gatsby party.You can pretty much bet her interest has nothing to do with the speakeasies, but rather in all those pretty dresses.

Turning the TablesThe era before the twenties was a little dark when it came to fashion. Not to pick on the Edwardians but they really pressed for a middle part hairstyle that worked on almost no one. In the nineteen-tens people were doubling down on corsets, using new technology to make waists tinier than ever. And while the fashion authorities tried to keep woman buttoned up and weighed down by skirts, ladies wanted something new. They wanted to ride bikes, play sports, and vote. Once the decade rolled over to the twenties, women had had enough. They shortened their skirts, cast off their corsets, and cut their hair. They were ready to make a paycheck and have some fun. Now, if that doesn't call for a little sparkle, we don't know what does!Design & DetailsThis lovely Made by Us Amethyst Flapper Costume will bring the roaring twenties right to your door! The sparkly purple dress is trimmed with silver sequins and has the traditional flapper era fringe around the hem of the skirt.

A sequin headband topped off with a matching purple feather completes this playful yet elegant look, making it ready to go as soon as it arrives at your door!Shimmy Up Shimmy OutOnce you slip into this fringed dress, you might find out why the flappers are so famous for their dancing. After all, the layers of fringe really make for some serious fun on the dance floor. Top off this look with all sorts of accessories from a bobbed wig to long, silk gloves to make it your inner flapper come alive. Whether you're heading to a birthday party or putting together a group costume, this costume is a great way to celebrate our thoroughly modern age!

"Puttin' on the Ritz" means to get dressed up all glitzy and glammy. And why not? You only live once, right? And what's the best way to put on the Ritz? By harkening back to those olden days when "Puttin' on the Ritz" was the hottest song in town, the 1920s! Yes, the 1920s, when flappers weren't birds but women dressed for going out, when Al Capone ruled the world of secret speakeasies, and when Warren G referred to Warren G Harding, the president! It was a different time, full of carefree fun. Whether you were getting rich off the Teapot Dome scandal or just enjoying the teetotaling life of Prohibition, the 1920s were a wonderful time for America, and certainly nothing bad would ever happen again, right?Wrong!

Do you ever wonder what happened to the classic dining experience of the 50s? Fast food has taken those burgers and shakes and put them in soulless settings with no red vinyl seating or chrome lined counters in site. If you've been to a cute chrome countered diner in the last five years you've probably seen more options for sweet potato fries and bison burgers with aioli then the traditional fare. Don't get us wrong, we think a diverse diet is swell but when it comes to menu items like chocolate shakes don't try and sneak us almond milk or natural sugar replacements, we want the real thing. We want that true blue diner experience. It all started when they go rid of the car hop. Sure, drive-throughs are so much easier and season friendly, you don't even have to interact with a human being. Now, with the loss of those friendly servers be they on roller skates or in sneakers we lost the soul in our meat patties with cheese, we lost the spirit of the classic fifties dining experience. If you want to be a part of a bygone era, you can become one of those cheerful servers bearing diner classics in this 50s car hop uniform. Whether you're opening a classic 50s diner or you've got a part in a play this uniform with its starched white shirt, pants, and apron and the red pinstriped vest will make you feel as wholesome as that grilled cheese sandwich cook made so skillfully. Top it off with the red bow tie and diner cap and you'll look as sweet and classic as the cherry pie that's on special every Friday afternoon. Forget super sizing, let's soulful-ize those fries!

Hey Soul Sister! Bring back the 1970s! It was such a magical time of platform shoes, mood rings, embroidered bell-bottom jeans, lava lamps and macrame. It was also the decade that brought us Pet Rocks. We still love Pet Rocks! Sure, they aren't fluffy like a puppy, but they're always there when you need them and they're super fun to decorate. The other 1970s pheonomenon we definitely love is disco. What better way to spend an evening than shaking it with other dance lovers? Plus, in disco, anything goes. You can make up any crazy, funny dance move you like and it can't be stranger than the Funky Chicken!

You know what sounds really difficult about being a car hop? No, it's not cooking the perfect griddled onions, although we're VERY picky about that... No, what sounds really hard about being a car hop is rollerskating while holding a tray of food. Have you ever held an old-fashioned milkshake? Those things are surprisingly heavy! Any kid who decides to make their career carhopping is a genuine hero in our books.There are little things that help make it easier, though. It's best to try and stay agile, learning to rollerskate is a must, and learning how to be sassy with that fun 50s lingo is also a good idea. But what we think really helps transform someone from regular old waitress into a car hop is certainly the costume. Just look at this girls 50s Car Hop costume! It screams vintage, and that's exactly what you want. Nostalgia for when food took a little longer, and always arrived via rollerskate. We love it!This high quality costume for kids has a lot of fun 50s details that really evoke a sense of that era. Did we mention that it's high quality? It really is! It can definitely be worn more than once, which is good because most car hops work more than one day a year. This costume has fun pinstriping, a wide contrasting collar, an apron, and even a matching hat! Just add a pair of saddle shoes and she'll be ready to roll!
Disco BlancoWhen we think about platform shoes, we immediately associate them with the 70s. But did you know that platform shoes have been around for quite a long time? Greek actors used them to elevate essential characters on the stage. People even wore them in the Middle Ages to keep their feet from getting wet. So, when you are dancing at the next disco night, remember those who danced before you.Product DetailsThe shoes are made of all man-made materials, with a faux patent-leather outer finish. The textured anti-slip outer soles and cushioned inner soles make them extremely comfortable to wear. And the 3" heel and 1.5" platform give you just the right amount of height. So don't be shy... strut your stuff in these amazing shoes!

Missed OutYour girl just missed out. She wasn't around when the 80s rolled around, so she missed out on the neon colors. She missed out on pet rocks, slap bracelets, and mixtapes. She missed out on the teased hair and the odd obsession with brightly colored polygonal shapes. But you know what? That just gives you an opportunity!You can be the one to teach your little girl all about the awesome style of the 80s! You can show her how to love neon colors. You and teach her how to do the running man at the next dance party. You can even introduce her to killer 80s music, like Cyndi Lauper and Tiffany.

Now, where you do place that Cyndi Lauper cassette tape... ?
Someone once said that disco is dead. Or at least we've heard people always say that they say disco is dead. Whoever "they" is, right? Well if disco really is dead, they better get ready because you're bringing it back from the grave! They can take their negativity and leave the dance floor, or be swept up in the magic that is disco!But you know what? Disco isn't dead. Disco never even died! Don't believe us? Ask ABBA. Ask Barry Gibb (for all the young folks out there, he was in the Bee Gees. If you don't know who the Bee Gees are, we can't help you)! In fact, just point your finger at your hip and then back up toward the sky. You call that dead? That's disco, pumpkin! So it's time to light up the dance floor, turn up the music, break out the bell bottoms, warm up your vocal chords (this is a pretty long to do list. Are you sure you don't want to get a pen and paper or something?), put on your make up and your high heels, fro up that hair and dance! In this two-piece metallic outfit, you're no longer the normal woman your friends and family know. When you're rocking the bell cuff sleeves you're not that mild-mannered lady your coworkers know. You're more than that, so much more, when you step out on the dance floor. You know what you are. You're a diva! You're a dancing queen! And now it's time to get on out there looking like a gift from heaven as you teach all the kids out there what disco is really all about!
People have a nostalgia for the fifties, that much is certain. There's the question of why. We could say it's the fashion: full skirts, peter pan collars, and red lips. It would be understandable for anyone to be nostalgic about those smashing ensembles. But, no we don't think it's only the fashion. Maybe it's the music, all bubble gum pop and hip rocking swarthiness that would be understandable too. So, we're pretty sure we're on something. What do people picture when they think of the fifties? That's right, a diner with people sipping on shakes and Cokes and eating juicy burgers and French fries. Those diners with their red vinyl booths and chrome exteriors reeled in the imaginations of generations to come. So, people came to these picturesque places in shining cars with dramatic giant hoods and sculpted wings on the trunk. In their red leather interiors, people would pull up and order these classic foods from the friendly carhop, listening to Elvis playing over the loud speaker. If you want to be part of the most nostalgic part of the fifties than you just might want to dress as the classic car hop. These servers in red and white striped dresses and white starched aprons, cuffs, and collars brought trays of happiness to the people waiting in cars. Top it all off with the jaunty cap and you're ready to bound down memory lane, maraschino cherry in hand.
Teal-Licious LocksWe've been inquiring of the experts. And by experts, we mean our hairdressers. What have we been inquiring about? Well, we're glad you asked. We have been asking them what it would take to make our hair a beautiful, bright green. Apparently, quite a lot. We'd likely need to cut our hair first, then bleach our hair, then color it (with the right kind of dye to get that rich color) and then we'd have the hair we wanted. Frankly, that sounded like a lot of work (not to mention a lot of money). We're not sure if we're ready for this kind of commitment either. Don't get us wrong, we really want green hair... we're just not sure how long we're going to want it for.That's when it hit us: why not use a wig? it's easy to get a wig in a style and color you want, and it's a temporary hair fix. It's the perfect solution. So if you, like us, need some teal hair pronto (and maybe only for a short time) check out our Bright Green Bob Wig. This synthetic wig has a mesh cap with an adjustable elastic edge. The color is a rich green, with bangs and a jaw-length bob cut. It's perfect, no?
An outfit isn’t something that you just throw on. It takes a lot of thought. It tells people a lot about who you are. If you want to be the boss, then you’d better look like a boss and not some kind of two-bit thug. Walk into the speakeasy wearing a dusty old shirt and some rugged slacks and they’ll give you no respect (like Rodney Dangerfield). No, you need something that makes any goon listen to your every order. You want to make your moll swoon at the very sight of you. You want some old school swagger from the 1920s that no thug would dare challenge. You need this Mafia Underboss costume.This 1920’s style gangster costume comes with everything you’d expect to make an impression. The costume includes a pair of pin-stripe pants that look like they came straight from a time machine. A set of classic white suspenders are also included to give you that official mobster style. Pair that with the white tie and you got a look so slick, you might not even need your tommy gun when you decide to cause trouble. All you have to do is add one of your own dress shirts to your look and it’s time to get down to business!Make sure to check out a few of our accessories, like a pair of dapper shoes and a toy tommy gun. Then, there’s no thug on the block who will dare to call you by any other name but “boss”.

Back in the olden days, they didn’t believe in any pesky new-fangled inventions like elastics! And that sticky, plastic-y stuff they put on the inside of strapless bras to hold them up (we have no idea what that’s called, but you know what we’re talking out!)? Get outta here! Back then, they had to rely on good old-fashioned strips of fabric and clips to hold their garments up!Luckily for them and for us, those vintage made-dos just happened to also be ultra-sexy and provocative! Maybe it’s the fact that women couldn’t go out in public showing their bare knees until the 1920s, or maybe it’s that having to undo those extra garter clips lent them naturally to the art of the tease. Whatever it is, when it comes to being a true pin-up, you don’t want to leave out the best part of the ensemble! That's why you need these Garter Boy Shorts - keep the tease going by wearing them with any fishnet or silk stockings of your choice!

Get Down TonightWhat if humans weren’t the only creatures on Earth to sometimes feel funkalicious? I bet all sorts or other animals would just love to boogie down and get their groove on. Dogs with bell bottom pants and fab bloused shirts would be so cute. Copacetic cats hanging out all day and night would be off the hook.The best would probably be giraffes though. Imagine the size of those slammin’ jumpsuits! It would be off the hook if we could explore the savannah and know that there was a chance that we could stumble upon a bunch of funky fresh, jive-talking giraffes enjoying their local disco. We think that they would have some freaky deaky moves that would show even our best disco dancers a thing or two about style!Slick ThreadsWell, even though jive-raffes aren’t real, we should go on living as if they were.

Kids these days probably don't even know what a sock hop is all about. In fact, if you asked your little one, their eyes would probably glaze over; maybe they'd even look at you like you had five heads? They could also give you a solid answer like: a sock hop is when you put on your favorite pair of socks and hop up and down the block. Like we said, valid answer but that's definitely not the best description of a sock hop.

Move the dining room table, rearrange the furniture, and let your living room mimic a school gymnasium!Once the heavy lifting is done, present your little one with this sock hop cutie costume, complete with poodle skirt and attached polka dot shirt, and let the twisting, turning, and jiving begin.

Smooth MovesThe hand jive! The stroll! The Cha-cha! With all the great dances of the fifties, it's no wonder that their dance nights were so much fun that we still recreate them today! You might be wondering how high schoolers learned all those dances. That would be hard to do now when most students only go to three dances a year if they're lucky.

That sounds like a pretty great time to us!Design & DetailsSlipping into this sock hop kit is just as easy and casual as hosting a sock hop in the fifties!

Look at it this way... what is the better use of a great night out? Would you rather head home early to tidy up the dishes and wait for your mechanic hubby to get back for leftovers from the previous night?
