Model CitizenThese days, we don't think of pin-up girls as heroes very often. They were just models, right? Not during WW2! During World War Two pin-up girls were painted on airplane noses, much like the bowheads on the bow of a Viking ship. While these ladies might have looked a little risque, they were there to bring the airplane extra luck on their perilous trips over the European mainland. While women weren't allowed to be a part of those harrowing dog fights high in the sky, the illustrations painted on these planes would give the pilots the confidence to take off with a steady hand. In the forties, it didn't matter what your specialty was. The name of the game was one for all and all for one!Details & DesignAny fan of retro fashion is sure to love this Made by Us pin-up costume that combines khaki and classy in a timeless way. It features a high-waisted pair of army green pants and a khaki cropped top that ties in the middle. It's topped with a military-style hat to set it off right. The top has a charming square neckline and is accented with gold buttons that match the double buttons on the pants. With a timeless color scheme and a structured cut, this outfit will make your salute really hit home. Neat as a PinAre you ready to get that pin-up girl polish? Curl your hair into the perfect Victory roll and apply a classic red lipstick for an amazing pin-up girl look. Throw on a pair of character pumps and you'll look right at home posing for the camera. Now, all you need to do is find someone to paint your picture on the side of an airplane. Honestly, we don't think that's too much to ask!
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.

TELL 'EM WHAT YOU WANTThey asked us what we wanted. We responded in droves. We wanted musically gifted. We wanted non-stop energy, pomp, and cheer. We wanted optimism that would never age away. Millions rushed to the concerts, to the YouTube uploads, even to the coffee shop that showed up on an Instagram post about that one time months ago. Well, now we want more.

Upgrade Your Shimmy StatusFlappers had the right idea. The best way to get out on the dance floor? Let your clothing do the dancing for you. Flapper fashion was made for shimmying.

Easing Into the Jazz EraIt's been a while since the 1920s jazz era was in full swing. Since then, our culture has been through a lot. We've traded flapper gowns for blue jeans, big band music for electronic beats, and Model Ts for minivans. Now, this isn't all bad. After all, wearing pants is rather convenient and we don't mind listening to music through Bluetooth speakers rather than cranking on a Victrola to listen to the same couple of records again and again. We don't mind handy modern inventions that weren't even dreamed of in the twenties such as the bikini, the ballpoint pen, and the internet. Still, every once in awhile it's nice to step back into a time when people slipped on sequined dresses and sipped illicit beverages in underground speakeasies while big bands kept the crowds dancing into the wee hours of the morning. Doesn't sound too shabby, does it?Details & DesignThis Shimmer Flapper Costume is Made by Us, which means it's been designed with both fashion and quality in mind. The Chevron pattern is lush with shining black and white sequins. The zig-zagged hemline is trimmed in a long fringe that will make any Speakeasy style shimmying pop. As the dress zips up the back from the waist, you won't have to struggle to slip the dress over your head after you've finished your makeup and hair. A whimsical headband that's studded with a long feather polishes this costume off with a 20s flourish, making you ready for Jazz era fun!Jazz it UpAre you ready for a costume that can be worn after Halloween is over? A great theme for parties from bachelorettes to New Year's Eve, flappers will never go out of style.

As flappers have been in vogue for a hundred years, there are plenty of modern ways to make this look your own!
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.

And it's long enough to sling over your shoulder to keep your fingers free to do some serious hand jiving!

Is there any dance style more fun than disco? Not a chance! Some dance crazes are similar, but none can match the driving energy of a packed discotheque. Strut your stuff and be the queen of the dance floor in our exclusive 70's Disco Jumpsuit!Okay, polka dancing is maybe a close second to disco in terms of how much people get into it, but accordions can't compare to all of those flashing lights and quick, thumping beats. And while we do love a good waltz every now and then, that trend is so 15th century, and we like our dance music to come out of something that needs to be plugged in first. That's why disco is the grooviest way to bust a move: it's loud, flashy, colorful, and makes you want to, nigh have to, move your feet! You can even do the hustle on rollerskates, and we can't think of a better remedy for Saturday night fever.Such a lively dancing style calls for an equally lively outfit style. So, we totally had the electricity of disco music on our minds when we designed this far-out jumpsuit, and you will too once you slip it on and start feeling the groove! The bellbottoms and colorful, body length stripes give you the perfect reason to feather your hair, and bust out all of your flashy jewelry and platform shoes. This outta sight style is perfect for any 70's theme parties, but we know once you try it on, all you'll wanna do is hit the dance floor!

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!

Well, let's start with the design of the dress. Our design team knows that having a signature style is a mainstay of any pop star performer. And, as it happens, they've done quite a bit of research on many of the most popular pop culture singers of all-time. The cut of this costume dress is designed to be flattering and eye-catching. The dress design starts with an elegant violet base, and then we added a floral sheer overlay for super-chic style. This dress's bold style pairs perfectly with your natural pop power vocals, but a few add-ons like knee-high boots and a blunt bob wig might take your style over-the-top.

Probably one of the coolest things about hippies is that hippie culture was arguably really only A Thing for a handful of years, yet has continued to have a permanent influence. It unofficially started around 1964 thanks to American novelist Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters (some of whom you now know as The Grateful Dead). Their psychedelic and communal exploits - later chronicled by Merry Prankster member Tom Wolfe in "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" - attracted a legion of young adults who, intrigued by the developing psychedelic hippie music scene, dropped out of school and moved to San Francisco and LA to be a part of the "Tune in, turn on, and drop out"movement. Hippies rose to the forefront of mainstream culture in 1967, the summer of which was famously coined "The Summer of Love" thanks to the rise of psychedelic culture, a surge of California music festivals, and heightened protests concerning the US military involvement in Vietnam. The Hippie Movement culminated in Woodstock in 1969, then quickly (as in, only four months later) faded into widespread disillusionment after the tragic deaths that took place at the Altamont Free Concert and the After that, the peace and love of the hippie movement started to slowly decline, first fading with five deaths at the Altamonte Music Festival, and finally deep-diving into disillusionment with the "Helter Skelter" killings done by the Manson Family.But anyway!

Light It Up Cigars are one of those things that evoke a certain kind of lifestyle. If you see a humidor, you think of yachts and striped ties, or you think of white suits and Al Capone in a showdown outside a speakeasy. We're not saying that you have to be super rich or a gangster to have a cigar, but it probably doesn't hurt. Product DetailsThis exclusive Faux Cigar Costume Accessory will have people asking themselves what you really do for a living! The molded plastic accessory is painted brown with a gray end, and is decorated with a red and yellow label. Have a WhiffHaving a faux cigar is an excellent way to add realism to your outfit. Offer it to a friend and ask them if they can smell the bouquet. When they say that they only smell plastic, you can smile knowingly and tell them, "Maybe it's something that only experts can detect." This will fit right in with your posh or gangster persona (although your friend may have a thing or two to say).

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!
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.
