Isn't it kind of crazy how a thing is maybe only really a thing for three or four years, but it’s a such a huge thing during that time that its influence ends up sticking around forever?For instance, take Studio 54: Founded and created by Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager in 1977, it quickly became one of the most famous - and famously hard to get into - clubs in America, thanks to their celebrity clientele, elaborate parties, and look-the-other-way policy in regards to the lavish excess (psst: drugs) of the ‘70s. It was so successful, in fact, that both Rubell and Schrader were convicted on charges of tax evasion (In December of ’78, Rubell was famously quoted in the New York newspapers as saying that Studio 54 had made $7 million in its first year and that "only the Mafia made more money". This, not surprisingly, got the attention of the IRS, and they later found that Rubell and Schrader had skimmed $2.5 million). The club was sold in 1980 to Mark Fleischman, who struggled to replicate Rubell and Schrader’s success (it also didn’t help that disco also basically died in 1980…thanks, “Disco Duck”!). So really, when you think about it, Club 54 was really only a huge deal for about three years!And yet the fascination with it - and the era it belonged to - still endures to this day. Take, for instance, this Women's Disco Diva Costume...one look at this halter style jumpsuit with its shiny gold metallic fabric and bell-bottom pants, and you'll be ready to shake your groove thang and do the Hustle out onto the nightclub dance floor! Add some gold metallic platform heels to really get that Boogie on!
So groovy baby!The 60s and 70s were great! You do wish you had been around to see the bands that were rocking. The Kinks. The Rolling Stones. Procol Harum. CREAM. Jimi Hendrix. Bob Dylan.

Dude. Duuuuuuude! Look at you. You said you weren’t going to get dressed up this year unless you could find an outfit that made you look as good as you feel. We’re glad to see you found this far out shirt and got your mojo going for tonight’s big party. It’s going to be sick. Only a chump would miss it, and you’re no chump! You’ve always known the 70s as the best era of all time, but let us give you a refresher course to inspire some serious fun tonight. The 70s was the era of disco, platform shoes, sequins, disco balls, the finger point, wild prints, plentiful polyester, the hustle…just LOOK at this shirt. Amazing. And people try to argue that another era was better than the age of disco? Dream on! To prepare for your event, you’ve binge watched all of your favorite 70s movies and have been ready to boogie ever since. Well, now’s the moment, so go get into this Dynamite Dude Disco Costume and we’ll catch you on the flip side!Voila! You look perfectly groovy in the blue and purple swirling, psychedelic print of this shimmering shirt. You’ve expertly tucked this polyester (what else?!) button-down into a pair of high-waisted white bell bottoms and added a pair of platforms for oomph. Wowza; you’re looking mighty fine. But c’mon cat, do us a solid add a little bling to top that top—slip on a necklace and tease out your hair to come alive as the disco king you are. Can you dig it?
We happen to drop the rhetorical "What a time to be alive" rather often nowadays. But what about the 1960s? What about if you were—*gasp*—a rock and roll sensation?There was Vietnam and all the craziness that went along with that. There was a whole lot of tree hugging and all the partying that goes along with that. There was also a little pop culture explosion that had to do with... yep, you guessed it: rock and roll! This sociopolitical and pop culture climate would truly have warranted the comment, "what a time to be alive."And we can help you recreate some of that experience with this 60s Mod Brown Mens Wig, especially if your end-goal is to emulate one of those sensational singers from across the pond.. We can't put together a concert, or organize a civil rights march, but we sure can dress you for the part! It's the easiest way to look like a star and make all the ladies swoon, this wig.
Everything's Turning Up PurpleYou know you’re really pushing the boundaries when even a traditional flapper costume causes you to yawn. Black is boring, you think to yourself. Silver is for the sedate, you contemplate. While white is winsome, you argue, it doesn’t stand out enough in a crowd.Though flappers' flirty fashions and boundary-breaking behaviors were real eye-openers in the Roaring 20s, you’re craving a period look that will still make a statement, circa now. This Fringe Purple Flapper Costume, then, is THE bold and bright look you’ll lust after this Halloween. PURPLE stands out. PURPLE puts a smile on folks’ faces. PURPLE puts a pep in your step and a twinkle in your eye. PURPLE is the color of royalty--and you will feel like the queen of the Jazz Age tonight! We’re so happy you found this festive and unforgettable ensemble; you were exactly the gal we had in mind for it!Design & DetailsYou don’t have to accessorize this jazzy sleeveless pullover tank dress, after all, it has seven...SEVEN...rows of fabulous fringe, but you can! Add a matching boa (more PURPLE), long silver beads, and a too-haute heel and enjoy the perfect-for-you flapper look. The included sequined elastic headband accentuates the sequin edging along this frock’s scoop neckline. However you party tonight, we’re thrilled that you’ve found a way to go back in time and stay totally true to your present playfulness, all at once!

There is nothing more gangster than violins. Or, at least in the 1950s there was an attitude of cool rebel in the musicians who played at jazz joints. We know the violin can be an extremely difficult instrument to learn. So, we won't make you practice it every night, or at all. That takes time and patience, and with Halloween around the corner you don't have either. You can just look cool with the Gangster Violin Case! The Gangster Violin Case is a perfect accessory for your costume, or just to carry your lunch. The molded plastic case measures 14 inches long, by 5 inches wide, by 3 inches deep. The case is hinged and snaps shut, it also has a sweet hinged handle for you to carry it with.
Sixteen Candles StyleRemember those 1980s fashions? Weren’t they just amazing? Sure, they weren’t always practical – many of the styles were stolen from less-trendy occupations. Those chunky legwarmers probably weren’t always headed to a workout: More likely, you’d sport them for coffee with a friend. Most of the totally rad Sperry Topsiders in circulation never treaded a yacht’s deck, but they sure looked snazzy on a college campus. And those amazing neon ski suits that every young lady was pining to have? We doubt many of them saw a single ski slope. But hey, if those ladies had ever wanted to start winter sports, they would have looked sensational while slaloming!Product DescriptionEmbrace your 80s ethos when you rock this Women’s Awesome 80s Ski Suit Costume! This powder blue jumpsuit is playful, preppy, and absolutely the last word in stylish loungewear. The jumpsuit has elastic in the wrists, ankles, and waist so that you can show off that gorgeous figure you earned from all of those aerobics classes. The sleeves are purple and the collar is neon pink because you can’t have an 80s outfit without neon, obviously! A yellow zipper closure runs from the collar down the front of the jumpsuit so that you can customize your neckline. Yellow, pink, and purple stripes wrap around the right leg just above the ankle for some added funk. The yellow triangle emblem on the right front doubles as a pocket - to hold your Bazooka Gum, of course!Exercise? You Mean Extra-Stylish!You’ll be queen of the slopes in this excellent 80s-style ski suit! Of course, your outfit is so cute that it really isn’t meant for actual exercise. Better stay in the lounge and watch the parade of medallion necklaces, high-waisted jeans, and Ray-Bans. Totally tubular!

You’ve been practicing your Charleston. You finally figured out how to shift your ankles back and forth with your weight on your toes. Heck, you even bought the classic flapper dress, in black of course. You even managed to do the dance in heels. But you are still missing something for your big dance recital.It’s not the long pearl necklace. Or even the feather boa. No you have those. Ah, it’s the classic 20s bob hair cut. Well, you don’t have to cut your hair off to get the right look, just click “Add to Cart” and instead wear this Deluxe Black Flapper Wig.

Rhythm Nation It's the 1980s, baby! Social media, Tide Pod challenges, and viral videos haven't even been invented yet and you have nothing to worry about except what rad song to play next for your aerobics workout. Maybe when you're done, you'll head over to the barber shop to get your mullet retouched or you'll hold a boombox over your head outside your crush's house as a dramatically romantic gesture (as long as her neighbors don't report you for disturbing the peace). Life is good! Product DetailsShow off your athletic... fashion sense when you wear this hilarious 80's Track Suit Costume for Men! Made of polyester windbreaker material, the pullover jacket has pink trim at the neckline and hemline, and is embellished with green, pink, and patterned fabric. The matching pants have a drawsting cord sewn into the pink waistband. The right leg features green, pink, and patterned embellishments. Don't forget to add your favorite pair of neon tennis shoes! Feel the Burn Has anyone ever worn a track suit to run track? Probably not. It's a fashion statement, not a practical workout outfit. Besides, if you're trying to pick up your crush, it would be totally not cool for her to see you covered in sweat. Impress her instead with your knowledge of Cheers episodes and trivia about the King of Pop. Maybe even hint that you're thinking of growing a mustache. She'll be so impressed, you might even convince her to go for a drive. That would be righteous!
Be the lovable Alien Life Form Gordon Shumway in this Alf costume. You can set up housekeeping in the laundry room and find something you're not good at and then don't do it! It’s not that ALF was lazy on purpose...well, actually, he was. But he was so darn lovable and funny that we can overlook one or two (or twenty) tiny character flaws. His personality endeared him to his TV family and viewers alike - so much so that I doubt any of us who were around in the 80s will ever forget his character. We all probably have a story about watching ALF growing up, and what better way to pay tribute to him than through a Halloween dedicated to this character?Relive one of your favorite 80s TV shows and maybe make a visit to the planet Melmac with this officially licensed ALF costume. This costume comes with everything you need to transform into ALF this Halloween. The rust-orange faux fur jumpsuit has a Hook and Loop fastener closure in the back for easy on and off. The faux fur hood has a molded vinyl face that looks just like ALF and has a Hook and Loop fastener closure in the back for a seamless transition to the jumpsuit. The matching gloves have velour palms and are not attached so that you can easily use your human hands when needed. Top it off with the fur-covered polyfoam shoe covers and you’ll look like this lovable character from head-to-toe!
A Fabulous Fifties FlashbackWhat do you see when you think about the 1950s? Do pictures of sock hops and poodle skirts pop into your head, or are you more of a “hot rods and leather jackets” kinda gal?

We suggest swinging by the malt shop or the drive-in to check out what everyone else is up to, but these days, places like that might be tough to find. Hey, we have an idea for a great way to show off your cheery new look!

Peace Out Sometimes you feel as though you were born in the wrong era. Here you sit in your office, feet pushed into high heeled shoes, typing away at a computer that didn't exist 20 years ago.

Peace and LoveWould-be time travelers pay attention! Wherever you go it's very important for you to blend into your surroundings so as not to alter history. For that, you need the right look...We often wish we could go back in time. If we could go anywhere, we'd go back to the 1960s. All the music, the psychedelic vibes, and hippie culture is truly exciting to folks like us who would love to see what it was like before we were all buried in our phones 24/7! Who wouldn't want to see the Haight-Ashbury district at its peak! Of course, we've spent a lot of time thinking about what kind of outfit would be perfect to wear, should we ever get our hands on a working time machine...

The costume comes with a white dress with lace trim and wide, billowing bell sleeves. A faux leather vest with fringe fits over the dress since no hippie costume is complete without a bit of fringe! The flower headband adds the finishing touch since if you're going to San Francisco, you need to wear flowers in your hair (or so we're told anyway).Flower Child CostumeSo grab your acoustic guitar, and get ready to show the peace sign all the time because if you successfully travel back in time, this Flower Child outfit will blend right in! Okay, so time travel is pretty unrealistic, but you're going to look great at any retro party or any hippie music festival in the summer.
Big Shoes to FillRock and roll owes a pretty big debt to Gene Simmons. Bass guitar in hand, devilish makeup on his face, he taught the world how to rock, but also how to roll. His rumbling bass riffs and killer vocals are something that bands have taken inspiration from for decades... and his style sense? Second to none! Only someone who rocks as hard as The Demon can walk onto the stage with a pair of boots like these. Think you have what it takes? You'd better be ready to put on a real show when you wear these KISS Demon Boots!Design & DetailsThese officially licensed boots are a Made By Us design inspired by the boots worn by the legendary frontman of KISS, Gene Simmons. The boots are made out of a black vinyl material and fit with a zipper along the side of the boot.

Just pair these up with your Demon costume and you'll be ready to rock like the legend!
Sharp Dressed ManAnyone can find an amazing costume for a party, but not as many guys know how to pair it with a great pair of shoes (no pun intended.) Let's put it this way: You wouldn't buy a Batman outfit and wear it with some red clown shoes, would you? It's your footwear that puts any costume on a completely different level.Product DetailsYou'll be dressed to kill in a pair of these Wingtip Shoes for Men! The saddle-style shoes have a one-inch heel for style and are made of shiny faux patent leather in alternating overlays of white and black.

We've got to admit that we're not 100% sure what kinds of powers that this amazing lass can bring to bear. We're not even sure where she came from! Was it time travel? Does she have mysterious technology that let her leap forward through time from the 70s to come to us now, in the moment of our greatest need?

You are gearing up to head out to a massive 20s themed bash, and as such, we have to ask you...are you really going to let all those flappers have all the fabulously fashionable fun?We didn’t think so! After all, you are quite the debonaire dresser yourself. In fact, you feel slightly sour that bow ties are now deemed to be “old-fashioned.” Says who? We totally agree; we also wish the bow tie would come back into everyday style. You can help bring the trend back by wearing this Men's Plus Size Good Times Charlie costume. In addition to highlighting one of the better men’s fashion finds, you will also give those fringey flappers a run for their sequined money in this classic vintage look, a costume that says, “I am here, I am fierce, and I am ready to party!”We tip our hat to you, sir, and so will everyone else when they see you stroll into the soiree with this red striped jacket styled over your own black pants and white shirt. You get a brand new bow tie (yay!) and even a straw boater hat with an old-timey grosgrain ribbon band. Pair this look with a cane (we don’t actually know why that accessory was popular, but it was) and brush up on your Charleston, buddy, because those flappers have been practicing their moves for weeks--and they will be in need of an dapper dance partner who can keep up!

At least, that's what all her pals will be saying when your kid strolls in wearing this hip Pink 50's Sweetheart Costume, since you know 50's lingo will be all the rage whenever she's making the scene!Bright and colorful poodle skirts will always be the fashion that is best remembered about the Fifties! What other outfit could a gal wear to school, or a dance, or while just hanging out at the malt shop, and still look like the coolest cat in town? Poodle skirts like this one are such a classy look that they're still fun even all these years later, which is pretty amazing in this age when fashion fads seem to change every other day.

Just add a pair of saddle shoes and some cat eye glasses, and she'll be ready for all kinds of 50's fun!
Drive-in 101If you're about to hang out in a 50's diner, you're gonna need to know a bit of slang. Back in the day, the local diner was the place for youths to hang out for hours and get a little rowdy. With all the hubbub, the cool and collected waitresses came up with their very own slang to tell the cooks in back what to make next. Being cool cats, the waitresses kept on morphing the slang through the years and ended up with a brand new culinary vocab. For instance, rye toast became whiskey down. A first lady is spare ribs. And if a waitress hollered for the cook to make a Rueben but 86 the sauerkraut, the resulting sandwich would look pretty similar to a simple roast beef melt! Think you've got a little lingo down? Well then, you're ready for the costume!Design & DetailsWhether you're hanging out at the diner or heading to a sock hop, this accessory kit will give you a touch of 50's style pronto! This Made By Us kit features a classic polka dot scarf, perfect for tying around your neck, a pair of cat eyeglasses, and music note ankle socks. Pair them with a range of fifties looks from slacks, pencil, and poodle skirts and you'll be ready for fifties-style fun!
We all know that every decade has its memorable style, but some of those fantastic looks pierce through the barriers of time and hold up as foxy fresh no matter when we have the fortune of looking upon them! Of course, others aren’t so fortunate. The bright leg warmers of the ‘80s might have lost their flair and, according to rumors, many of our stellar styles from the Disco days are instead long passed their dying days. But, despite the fact that Disco may have seen its final moments, the style of the ‘70s is simply too luscious to let go.There’s no question that a style like yours could not only bring back the Groovy ‘70s but also make it stay. Channel some of that flawless style from Donna Summers, add in some modern curls from Whitney Houston, and finish it off with some kick-butt Foxy Brown attitude. With this curly Fine Foxy ‘Fro wig, you bring Disco back! The sparkling lights, the night clubs, the music, the dance. Bring the ‘70s out of the attic and prove that Donna Summer was right: Disco will survive all night and so will your amazing highlighted brown curls!

From the Studio to the StreetsThe first time Julie stepped into an aerobic studio, it was love at first sight. She grinned through leg lifts, grapevines, and mambos. She high-fived during water breaks and even sang along with some of the music even though her breath was a little tight at that point. The only time her Jazzercise grin failed her was when the class ended and everyone changed into their street clothes and went their separate ways.Julie felt she just had to deal with the downfall until one day, the answer hit her. She could take the happy atmosphere of the studio to the street. The next day, instead of putting on her power suit, she put on her biker shorts and leotard and hit the road!Design & DetailsThis Made By Us costume is bright with eighties details. The featured leotard has all the eighties pattern must-haves from geometric shapes to paint splatters. As the leotard has a dramatically high cut, you'll be glad for the bright pink bike shorts layered underneath. This colorful costume also includes a headband and pair of wrist bands. Complete this look with leg warmers and chunky white sneakers and you'll be ready to Jazzercise all over town!A Fabulous FadShe jogged in place while waiting for the bus and broke out two little hot pink weights that she lifted all the way to work. Before her pitch-meeting, she had everyone stretching to get a little blood flowing. And by the end of the day, not only was Julie smiling but a handful of coworkers had agreed to come to her next Jazzercise class. Is this story about the beauty of exercise or the beauty of neon-colored spandex at work? We don't know! But we're glad that more and more people are discovering the joy of Jazzercize. Now it's time for you to slip into your very own Jazzercize costume and spread a little aerobic happiness too!

After your time machine has come to a complete stop and the smoke begins to clear, you'll only have a few seconds to undo your safety harness and try to figure out what year it is. This can be really tricky, since the first clue is usually in whatever music you hear when you crack a window. But if it's one of the catchy tunes that topped the charts in the early days of rock 'n' roll, you might have no idea when you've landed!Because you can still hear a lot of those iconic songs on the radio today. They never quite went out of style! That's why we offer this Plus Size Sock Hop Cutie Costume, one of several exclusive outfits designed to aid time travellers in their decade-hopping excursions. Whether you've truly arrived in the 1950s or just one more era nostalgic for the simple pleasures of the poodle skirt and the soda fountain, this great outfit should elicit a warm welcome from anyone you might bump into. The pink blouse and polka dots of the skirt and scarf are practically universal signs of good will and cheer, and the music note appliques say put another dime in the jukebox!And since you've got to be able to put on your disguise in a snap, we've combined the skirt, blouse, and belt into a dress. Slip it on and add the matching scarf for a complete look in a fraction of the time and trouble.

A Difference of DecadesThe 50s were a different time. The cars, the music, and the hairstyles... the time just had that classic feel that still seems suave to this day! And the fashion? Well, that has to be the best part!Our designers wanted to capture a piece of that 50s magic in a simple accessory piece that you can wear whenever you need a bit of that retro flavor! Whether you're trying to recreate your own Buddy Holly costume, or you want to be the dashing nerd from high school, these glasses will fit the bill!Design & DetailsThese snazzy Mr. 50s Brown Costume Glasses are inspired by the classic, cat eye tortoise shell designs that we fashionable back in the 1950s. The lenses are clear and do not feature UV protection. We recommend pairing them up with any of our 50s wigs to really make you feel like you stepping into a time machine.
Back in the 50s we had some of the most fantastic rebels of all time. Just look at all the greasers and let's not forget about James Dean. He decided to wear a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt, something that, until then, was seen as a blue collar working outfit. It soon became high fashion for all the boys who didn't want to live by the so-called status quo of the time that their parents would force on them. They only would dress up on very special occasions for very noble causes (the causes mostly involved cute girls), but when they did dress up, they were always looking as sharp as a tack, and ready to go. We're not entirely sure what happened to that fantastic fashion sense of the time either. Nowadays everybody wants to wear black, grey, brown, or maybe white suits with very little in between. We're beginning to really miss those days when we could wear pink or baby blue to strut our stuff at the next sock hop with our sweethearts. For now we'll just have to be satisfied that at least the fantastic bow ties are making a stupendous come back. We'll need your help to bring the rest of this high fashion back into the main stream. We've been focusing on teaching our younger generation how awesome it is with this amazing Toddler Mr. 50s Costume. We're not sure if he'll appreciate all the female attention at that age, but when he's older he'll look back at how popular he was around them, and hop right back into the suit... Well not the EXACT same suit but you catch our drift.
Only the Bestie for the FestieLet's get something straight. Hippies might have invented the music festival but this generation is perfecting it. People can look back on Woodstock with rose-colored glasses that would look right at home on John Lennon's face but they're overlooking some major flaws. Yes, people looked awesome and the music was groundbreaking but the logistics were pretty messed up. For one, there was nowhere to get food and water. Secondly, there were hardly any bathrooms... can you imagine. A sea of people and nowhere to go. Yeah, it's pretty lucky you can't smell those black and white pictures. These days festivals have all the magic and all the organization as well. We get to dance and sway to our favorite music while also staying hydrated. How fantastic! At the same time, some people can feel a little out of touch with their Woodstock roots. Get back in touch without giving up basic human hygiene when you invest in this lovely tye dye poncho!Product DetailsYou'll feel like the epitome of peace and love when you're rocking this poncho. One size fits most, all you need to do is through it on over a tank and jeans and you'll be good to go! This fringed get-up works wonders for a traveling costume as you can pair it with street clothes and rolls up without worrying about creases!Peace of CakeWant to take this look a step further? You'll love the way it looks with long braids, aviator glasses, and moccasins. The best part is, you'll get plenty of use out of it! And since it fits nice and loose, you'll stay comfortable throughout the whole day. Perfect for decade themed events, music festivals, and costume parties, feeling the love doesn't have to be sequestered to one day!

Do you sometimes imagine yourself as a high society lady? We can see it, you're looking at flappers, aren't you? People from the twenties had high society down to a T. It was the gilded age so people really went all out. In high society, nothing was untouched, left boring and untextured.Cars had only been around for a short amount of time before people were driving around in shining Speedsters in bright colors with giant hood, sculpted to perfection. Those perfect cars carried around elegant people, their hair in perfect waves, faces powdered and rouged, and shoulders wrapped in furs. Those elegant people were headed to the theatre to see the talkies on the silver screen or the speakeasies to sip illicit hooch while listening to that new kind of music they were calling jazz. This age was all about sound, texture, and energy. So, it's no wonder why we still look up to the fashion of that time.Maybe you're going to a 20s style concert or party, maybe you're simply choosing wisely for your next costumed affair, either way, you're sure to love this Charleston flapper ensemble.

Talk about an iconic look that never goes out of style: flappers have been a look that many have tried to imitate ever since their heyday in the 1920s. But just because it’s no longer the 20s (or the 20th century for that matter) doesn’t mean you can’t still dress the part every now and then.The flapper movement was all about having fun in a time when money was tight and laws were tighter.

Some styles never get old and flappers are one of them. The dresses and style are timeless as are the fun, carefree times that we all associate with them.

We're not sure who would want to wear a dingy checkered outfit like this, but we can imagine plenty of characters who would have a hard time taking it off!Some of them are more obvious, like the embattled fan: a young man grown old who swore that he would never let disco die, even though the local club shut down or moved on to the next pop music fad a couple of decades ago. Now, he doesn't have the heart (or the wardrobe) to take off his lucky leisure suit—not when he risks missing one last chance to relive the mirror-balled glory of a youth spent on the dancefloor!Then there's the type who's waaaaay undercover: when he got this assignment, it was just another job. Now he honestly can't remember whether he owns this bowling alley or not, and who he's working for, if anybody. But he's not going to blow this operation just because he has a few questions for his superiors—if they even exist! He's just gonna keep fixing the automatic pinsetter and watching for anything out of the ordinary.And there's always the choose your own funky adventure: when you take a wacky look like this and run with it, shamelessly mixing and matching in whatever hilarious accessories strike your fancy. It might be hard to pitch to a room full of studio executives, but sometimes you just have to march to your own boogie beat!
