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. Zipping up the back, the dress is easy to slip into, even if your makeup is already finished. 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!

Darling, looking great is all in the details. A cute black dress is a good start, but accessories, darling. That's what sets a apart the flapper from your every day kind of Gibson Girl. Gloves, pearls, let's not forget a feather or two, and of course, a mink fur wrap. Nothing says high fashion and toasting life quite like draping yourself in the luxurious feel of the softest fur in the entire world. Of course, harming a real animal just for fashion is purely barbaric, so we thought of something better. This one is made of synthetic materials, so no animal has to be harmed to steal the attention in any room. The flappers were rebels of the day celebrating after their activism finally gave women the right to vote so we figured they would approve of this stance. This goes perfectly with your flapper dress, or any aristocrat costume! Be sure to check them out too while you're here.
Every generation has its fashion trends, and it’s easy to forget that an outfit that looks like the very picture of conservative dress today might once have been the controversial hot potato of its day. Take, for example, the crinoline, the petticoat that goes under a skirt and makes it blossom out into a bell shape. Nowadays they look charmingly old-fashioned, but back when it debuted in the 1800s a lot of people hated the crinoline. There were popular songs and poems mocking the fashion for everything from impracticality to flammability to just plain being annoying. Just remember that the next time you’re tempted to mock a flashy new style trend.You won’t be mocked by 19th Century fashion critics in this black, nylon-poly blend crinoline - on the contrary, you’re more likely to get compliments on your old-timey style. It works wonderfully under any knee-length skirt, from poodle skirts to party dresses to square-dance outfits. The ruffled, multi-layered petticoat shapes your skirt smoothly and allows a full range of motion on the dance floor or in casual hang-out situations. It may be an old-fashioned look, but it’s one that’s stood the test of time, no matter what the naysayers might say.

I Wanna RockAhh, the 80s. Those were the days. Instead of Autotune and high-ponytail pop stars, we had the good, old-fashioned, wholesome rockers who painted their faces to look like cats and wore outfits made exclusively out of leather and spikes.

Strut Down Memory LaneStrutting down the walk, in your fresh street style while jamming to your favorite music blasting from a boombox is an entirely nostalgic mood that can’t be replicated. However, carrying a giant boombox on your shoulder isn’t all the edgy glam it’s made out to be in movies and TV. Those music boxes get heavy! You’ve got to have the proper arm, shoulder, and back strength to rock the cool-dude attitude for more than a block. And unless you have some cassette tapes that aren’t completely worn out from over-listening, you may find yourself without the tunes to match your mood. Luckily, technology has advanced.

If you got a time machine and traveled back to the 50's to become a housewife we'd think you were nuts. Why would you waste access to a time machine in such a frivolous way? Well, who are we to judge, we'd probably accidentally end up in the ice age. So anyway, when you're traveling to your new but retro suburban fifties household you have to wonder what it's going to be like.Well, you'd probably spend a lot of time at the beauty parlor. Beauty parlors were hives of gossip and advice the young and old alike. Sitting under the giant hair dryers those ladies would discuss life and admire each other's hairdos, whether it was curled into a beehive or, like this beautiful blond wig, it was given some volume at the roots and a flip at the bottom. Trying to fit in with the fifties crowd you entails more than a good sweater set. Before you get into your time machine be sure to bring along this wig to fit in with that coffee clutch immediately.

Do the Hustle! It’s time to catch disco fever and dance the night away! Every night’s Saturday night when you’re wearing these Silver Disco Earrings! (You might want to gingerly take them off before getting involved in any Saturday night fighting though.) Before you go to shake your groove thing down at Studio 54, be sure you look fly in a white polyester suit, have your shirt collar over your lapels like a drunk dad at midnight at a wedding, and pair of Silver Disco Ball Earrings to top it all off. Tony Manero would be proud as you spin on the dance floor in a silver haze.Mirror balls had actually been a fixture in dance halls (or discotheques, duh) for nearly a hundred years before the disco music explosion of the late 70s. So why are they so synonymous with the age of copious hairspray and nylon clothes? Who knows! Maybe there’s something about the sultry strains of Donna Summer and funky beats of Giorgio Moroder that just made people want to stare in a bunch of tiny mirrors and lose themselves like nothing ever had before. Yeah, that’s probably it. Whatever it was, there’ll be no mistaking what you’re going for (they’re not exactly subtle) in these Silver Disco Ball Earrings.
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. When your toddler finds out what a sock hop actually is, we have a feeling that she'll want to attend because what kid wouldn't want to go to their school gym, toss their shoes to the side, then dance the night away to popular music?However, sock hops are no longer a thing. Sure, there are still school dances that are held but they don't hold the same sentiment. When your youngster finds out about this misfortunate news, they'll be a little disappointed but their chagrin won't last long because you guys can hold a sock hop in the comfort of your own home. 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. Put on your old records or her favorite jams and you've just created your very own sock hop. Now, you just need a poodle skirt. Luckily, we sell ones in your size too!
Not many people know this but Paul Stanley does not wear any makeup for his KISS performances. In fact, that black and white Starchild face he made famous is his actual skin.

The melodious voice was another condition he was born into, and what luck that he has shared those pipes with his adoring fans. For years, Paul showed off his skin with pride, and the other members of KISS were so impressed by him, they decided to honor him by painting their faces black and white in solidarity. Pretty amazing, right? Of course it is. That's why you're here too, to honor Paul Stanley and his incredibly legacy by putting on the luxurious Paul Stanley wig. And you're going to pain that Starchild pattern on your face, because you know any skin is beautiful and should be worn with pride. Rock on, Starchild. We're with you.

Oftentimes, when you see a zombie going about their business, they are wearing tattered and torn up clothes.

We've always been wondering, why do poodle skirts always have poodles on them? We get that it's because of the name but why did they decide on a poodle originally? Later on these famed 50s fashion phenomena actually had other things besides poodles including flamingos, flowers, and even hot rod cars! We wonder if they put a leash on those too. Either way the statement of the period was a simple skirt that anybody could make at home then match with a cute sweater and, of course, a scarf! No, they probably didn't keep you very warm but, daddy-O, will you look fantastic! This white scarf has a cute little poodle embroidered in one of the corners. The black and white will go with any color poodle skirt and then all you'll need is a nice matching cardigan or sweater before you head off to the next sock hop.

Oh, the eighties or the early nineties, whatever! Some of us got to experience it, others have to be satisfied with TV reruns and colorful eighties rap. The popular clothing of the time was beautiful, everything from the hats to eyewear to shoes. Oh, And the hair! Never, ever forget the hair. It was a time of color, of sass, and of swagger.First, let's focus on the hair. The beautiful, epic hair. These days people hardly even have bangs but back in that epic era, people went for some serious volume in their bangs and sometimes they were crimped. Sure, every once in a while you see someone with a couple crimped strands of hair but no one dares to venture to the middle of the face these days. People of the eighties and nineties really had courage with their fashion. For some evidence just take a glance at the glasses they wore. Yep, when it came to nerdy it was all or nothing. So, speaking of bravery, the color of the era was anything but muted. People confidently went into the world wearing wind suits, big earrings, and high heels. *sigh* Forgive us, this is some serious nostalgia we're feeling here.If you want to try your hand at that eighties swagger this tracksuit is a great introduction. With its mint green and hot pink accents, you'll be testing the waters without jumping to deep into the intimidating purple and turquoise paint splattered waters. Either you can pop on some heels and earrings and head out to a party or you could even put on a leotard underneath for a truly authentic vibe and maybe try out an aerobics routine.
Quick! Picture your favorite decade. Did you envision groovy colors, bell bottoms, headbands, vans, peace symbols and fringe? Then you might feel most at home in the 1960s, a whimsical and carefree decade that brought you the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Woodstock. You could switch on the TV and watch old favorites like The Flintstones and Gilligan’s Island, or head to the theater to see classics like Psycho or Dr. Strangelove. There were so many great shows, musicians and movies to come out of that decade! Don’t even get us started on the great Space Race and the excitement of putting the first man on the moon.Then again, there was also the Vietnam War, and sweating out the draft, and Kennedy’s assassination… And Civil Rights struggles and the slow-burning fear behind the continuing Cold War… Okay, so the decade wasn’t perfect.We’re not looking at the 1960s through rose-colored glasses, but everyone can agree that the 1960s had some of the very best fashion history has to offer. Now, transforming into a flower child isn’t as hard as you think, thanks to this Women’s Starflower Hippie Costume. You’ll feel instantly groovy in these vintage style duds. The Bohemian style mini dress has a bright colored flower pattern and big bell sleeves, with exposed shoulders for a fun and flirty look. There’s a peace sign patch right in the middle, and both the neckline and waistline are accented with fringe bands of suede. The costume also comes with a cute daisy headband. Slip on the Women’s Starflower Hippie Costume and show the world you’re ready to give peace a chance!
You’ve heard a number of times that we need to live in the now… live for the future… let go of the past… and many other idioms that speak of the ages of yesteryear being long behind us and holding us back from becoming who we might potentially be. The thing is… following that advice doesn’t seem to be making a clear and positive change in the present world, either! How are we to know that all this “present-living” is really having any impact at all if nothing seems to be changing!?That’s why it’s crucial to ignore every one of those mantras and, instead, dive right back into the past where things made a heck of a lot more sense and the fashion ensured that we’d plant ourselves firmly into memory and last well into the future. That’s the real path to immortality, no doubt! People want to say, “Disco is dead!” but, if that were the truth, people wouldn’t need to keep trying to convince everyone of it, now would they!? Would they!? Ha!You can be the last lady laughing, too, and prove that disco is not only the lessons of the past but also remains as the style of the future with this Women’s Disco Sensation Dress. Made of comfortable polyester—what else for the 70s!—this dress has a sweetheart top and is perfectly form fitting. The outrageous pattern of color on the outside of the dress is psychedelic and made even better with the glinting of silver sequins. Finish off the look with the matching headband and you’ll be transported right back into the grooviest of decades and ready to boogie oogie oogie all night.
Animal InstinctsLately, life has been going...OK. If by "OK" you mean that you're not so popular, your team isn't doing so well, and the girl of your dreams doesn't know you exist. Yep, sounds like high school to us, buddy! Rather than throw in the towel and suck it up for the rest of your time there, we have a solution that worked pretty well for our friend Scott Howard......turn into a werewolf! We know, it sounds a bit unconventional. More classic advice may be to try to make some new friends, or to join a club, or run for student council. But those other solutions don't have guaranteed results. And this Teen Wolf Men's Costume does! When Scott Howard transformed into the wolf before the eyes of fans and friends at his basketball game, he was nervous he'd be shunned even more by his peers. But on the contrary, his wolf persona became the biggest thing the Beavers had ever seen, and he became cool, popular, and a star player, too! So if you'd like to see things turn around for you before senior year (or you're just a really huge fan of the film), this furry look is as loveable as it is cool. You, too, could be surfing atop your very own Wolfmobile before you know it!Design & DetailsThis head-to-toe look is officially licensed, and was crafted in our design studio to accurately mimic Scott's look from the classic 1985 film! You get a yellow Beavers team uniform with Scott's number, 42, on it! Both the top and shorts have attached faux fur to create the wolf look along your arms and legs. The headpiece and socks complete your transition, and you didn't even have to wait for a full moon!These Waves Are YoursSo enjoy the good life, buddy! We're happy to see things have turned around for you. We told you this costume was a sure bet. Now, go catch those waves and enjoy the attention!

Setting the Record StraightWe often think of the fifties as a quiet time, but that's not quite right. Teens in the fifties spent many of their weekends heading to dances, grooving to loud music. Sometimes they were just swinging in their stocking feet to record music, other times they were doing planned dances to live music. Long story short, it was a fun time to be young! With rock and roll artists like Little Richard and songs like Yakety Yak fresh on the scene, you can imagine that it would be hard to keep your feet on the ground. No wonder why girls wore poodle skirts, perfect for swing dancing! Are you ready to put together your sock hop costume? Then you're going to need the right accessories!Product DetailsThis sweet purse is another thoughtful accessory that's Made by Us. You don't have to break up the theme of your ensemble, keep your wallet and keys in place with this Vinyl Record Purse. The shiny surface is paired with a classic fifties checkered pattern and neon colors to make your unique bag pop in just the right way. And it's long enough to sling over your shoulder to keep your fingers free to do some serious hand jiving!
Simple FanciesWhen you lay down your hard-earned smackers for a glamorous accessory, you probably expect more than some colorful fluff. That’s why we designed our very own Red 80 Gram Feather Boa, made from real turkey feathers to give it that high-quality heft that you’ve been craving!Sure, we could have gone with something fancier, like pheasant or peacock. But this is supposed to complement your outfit, not steal the show! And we could have made it out of finer stuff, like goose down—but we didn’t want to put anybody to sleep! So we went with the noble turkey: a stout bird. A working bird. A bird of the people.And yes, the scorching color of these red-hot wrappers is perfect for Hollywood hobnobbing or a refreshing spell at the speakeasy. But since they’re so inexpensive, durable, and eye-catching, we wouldn’t be surprised to see these babies fluttering fashionably all over the place!
All we are saying is give peace a chance. - John LennonWe really think John Lennon was on to something when he wrote those words. Wouldn't the world be a splendid place if everyone on it just learned how to get along? That's the philosophy the hippies choose to believe and we have to admit that we kind of agree with them. No more wars and no more senseless fighting would make for a great world to live in!If you happen to agree with us too then maybe the hippie lifestyle would be perfect for you. You'd spend a lot of time organizing peaceful protests and making signs that will help get your point across while you're out being a true community activist. They also attend festivals, when they aren't trying to promote change, and that's where they have all their fun. Peaceful fun, of course!If you think the hippie lifestyle is the right one for you, we urge you to become a flower child like the ones from the 1960's. This flower child costume for plus size ladies is everything you need to make the big lifestyle change. In true retro fashion, this white dress has large bell sleeves and a lace pattern at the bottom. The long brown fringed vest is fun to dance in while you're celebrating at a festival with your hippie friends. The daisy headband is the perfect finishing touch on this blast from the past costume. Just throw up your peace signs and get out their and advertise peace, love, and happiness!
You know how they say that fashion is cyclical? And any fashion that was in before is going to come back around again? Well nothing is hotter than the 1920s right now! That's right, the Roaring Twenties! Think of it: prohibition! Speakeasies! Al Capone! The Great Gatsby! Herbert Hoover! The Scopes Monkey Trial!Okay, we should have stopped after the Great Gatsby, right? Yeah, we had a gut feeling there, but we ignored it and look what happened. But you already knew that, just like you already know what a fabulous time there was to be had in the 1920s, flapping (that's why they're called flappers, right?), doing the Charleston and generally having a grand old time with Gatsby and Daisy and Nick, even that old George Wilson (hmmm on second thought, skip George). Sure, the Great Gatsby is actually a warning about the dangers of over the top decadence and a bunch of other sad stuff (look, we slept through most of Junior English, okay!), but you don't need to worry about that as you kick up your heels and have a ball as you cut a rug in this gorgeous alternating black and silver fringe. And hey, the headband is included so you're actually being economical. Way to learn from the past!Besides, as we said above, the 20s are so hot right now! You look at that sequined headband with the feather and you think "how on earth did that ever go out of style?" We don't know either! It's so cool! In fact, why even pretend its the 20s with this dress? Pretend its the now and help people realize that this fashion should never go away!
It's All HappeningIt's time to free yourself! No more stuffy business attire, no more following social norms, no more working for "the man."

If you want to spend endless hours playing ABBA in an open field and dancing hand-in-hand with your best friends, taking little breaks to make flower crowns and to hitchhike to the nearest convenience store for more cans of Tab soda, then we support you! (Mmmm Tab soda.)We can't turn back the hands of time to make it 1975 again (we wish we were that powerful) but we can supply you with a costume to make you feel like you're living in this glorious era.

Before your little one could even walk she seemed to enjoy those crooning pop songs of the fifties. For an infant, she seemed to be a little sentimental. If she had been around during the Elvis era she would have been one of the screaming teenagers at the front of the crowd. Sure, it's too bad that she won't be growing up in that age of innocence and sweet, shiny T-birds but there are ways to make your old soul kid feel at home in our modern age. First, stick to records and radios. The fifties child might feel overwhelmed by fancy music streaming through a Bluetooth speaker or even CD's. If you play an old school record you just might find that your little one has some pretty great dancing skills! A second way to keep them at ease in our new millennium is to have regular trips to your local old school diner. The vinyl seats and chrome edging will make her feel at home, get her a chocolate shake and she'll be in seventh heaven, you might even gain access to a jukebox and teach your little one the hand jive. The most impactful way to put your little girl in touch with her fifties soul is a classic fifties ensemble. After all, it's hard to learn to swing dance when you're wearing a boring old pair of jeans. This poodle skirt and checkered shirt combo have that classic appeal that will make your nostalgic kid's dreams come true. Whether she's dressing up for Halloween or you are going to a school sock hop with the family, she's sure to have plenty of fun with it. Just put on that Elvis record and learn some swinging moves from your classic 50's kid!

Are you headed to a ball later this week? A big fancy gala? A black-tie event? It can be nerve wracking to go to something like that. All those women in fancy dresses, and glittering jewelry.

We've been working on our jive, Daddy-O, and you should too! Nothing makes dress-up as fun as when you're acting it out, playing the part.

This outfit is demure and provocative all in one, an air of mystery surrounding that cute poodle pup and when you spin, well... that black poodle skirt will float like the crooning lyrics of a slow song at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance. Relive an era of classic American culture and look great doing it. Marilyn Monroe's got nothing on you, baby! So get ready for the sock hop, you cool cat! Put away that phone and throw out those designer jeans, because we're going back to the age of 50s Americana. The poodle skirt is a classic look captured in a simpler time (okay, being at the sock hop and wondering if your crush will ask you to dance has never been simple, but go with us on this). That pink will pop at any party. You'll make the scene and every greaser will wonder about how you got to be the heppest cat this side of the Cadillac. This ain't no Mickey Mouse Club get-up for some square from Nowheresville. These threads are far out, ya dig? So take that 50s night on the town to cloud 9 while looking absolutely like wow!

MR. MONEYBAGSThere are only so many looks that have been clearly designated as belonging to couples throughout history. Most can stand on their own. You know Old Saint Nick? Well, he can do his job without Mrs. Claus or even without a flying reindeer. Even the standard of Peanut Butter and Jelly can periodically show up solo for the occasional sandwich-lover with a peanut allergy. So, it is with that in mind that we have to look at Bonnie and Clyde. Now, this is a duo that we expect a lot from. They work together so well that they continue to inspire a strange sort of love and crime story nearly a hundred years later! But, what is Clyde Barrow without Bonnie Parker? (Other than a guy with twice as much cash from the banks and small town shops, we suppose.) Sure, technically there was a whole gang involved in the crime spree, but how would the story have looked with just Clyde?DESIGN & DETAILSIt's time to see what it might feel like to be on all the important lists between the 20s and 30s. Our in-house design team has crafted a high-quality look that draws on all the best crime stories of the supposed bank robber! Naturally, this look needs to be sleek and period appropriate. Fortunately, the guy was pretty stylish, too. These suit pants have button closure with black and brown stripes. The suspenders are attached to the pants and have a great contrast with the satin tie. Finish the look off with a fedora hat and you're ready to show off your best Clyde impression. CALLING ALL BONNIESNow, you can do your costume perfect justice on your own. But, you might also just happen to find the perfect Bonnie along the way! Just watch out for any old-time police officers checking the FBI Most Wanted lists!
