Nabbing a bunch of snakes to wear on your head might not be the wisest of ideas.

These synthetic red-and-black fibers, twisted into dreadlocks, are much more comfortable and much less slimy than the real thing. The third best thing? Everything else about it, of course.

The Noble TogaFor a century, the Romans ruled and created some pretty remarkable architecture! They had a society filled with some pretty advanced ideas, too!

What other article of clothing has inspired an entire theme for parties!? It's time to give a little honor to the toga that elevates us all. It's a pretty common belief that everyone in Greece and Rome wore the toga. But, a real ancient Roman would gasp at the audacity. The true toga was for Roman citizens exclusively.

Of course, these days, we wear them a bit more freely. (Plus, we've made a few modern adaptations to make them easier, too!)Product DetailsJump into the fun of a toga party or some ancient Roman rulership with our Party Toga costume!

Pride & PeppinessJane Austen knew how to write a character. Everyone in her books was memorable. They all could turn a phrase to lift the reader or make the reader broil in anger for the sake of the heroine. She did all of this while keeping her characters (both the good and the cad) in the refined class that we all came to love. From two hundred years ago, she can still transport us to places that no longer exist. All it takes is a turn of the page and we're walking into the halls of Mr. Darcy's estate while dressed in petticoats and white gloves. Turn to a different page and we're trapped on the moors with a twisted ankle while Mr. Willoughby swoops down and saves us from our struggle. Does your daughter delight in a time of restraint and etiquette? She can pen her own romances when she's dressed in this gorgeous Jane Austen costume!Design & DetailsThis Made by Us costume has all the refined taste any Jane Austen fan would expect. The lightweight white dress has puffed sleeves and a beautifully ruffled collar. The empire waist is belted with a pink ribbon to make the skirt extra billowy when walking through the green fields of northern England. A dark blue jacket with gorgeous puffed sleeves is layered over top for when it gets cloudy but your child still wants to keep writing under the garden trellis. The whole look is topped with a bonnet to keep Jane extra elegant. One for the BooksWhether your literary kid is dressing up for a play, school event, or even Halloween, she's sure to love the elegant design of this costume. Now, all your child needs to do is learn to use a quill pen and learn to pen perfectly restrained dialogue. Shouldn't be hard, right?
From a Broken HomeZeus has one messed up family. His dad, Cronus, had a bunch of kids with his Titaness wife, Rhea. He was afraid that they would grow up and steal his throne, so he decided to swallow each of his children as they were born in a single gulp! Rhea was understandably pretty miffed about this, so finally, she decided to hide her next baby from Cronus. She fed that dummy a rock instead and told him it was their latest child, Zeus.An all-grown-up Zeus, who was now reasonably angry that his dad ate his brothers, decided to do something about it. Zeus gave Cronus a good wallop, forcing him to spit out his brothers and sisters. Then, he went to war with his ol’ dad and took the throne from him, becoming the King of the Gods. Of course, you don’t need to know all of that when you wear this Zeus costume for men!Design & DetailsThis plus size Zeus costume turns you into the mighty Greek god from myths. The costume comes with a white tunic that has gold patterning along the bottom, along with a matching belt. The drape has a shimmering golden appeal to it and can be tucked into the belt for a classic Grecian look. A pair of golden gauntlets fit on each arm, providing a regal and powerful style. Finally, the crown asserts your role as king! All of the other Greek gods and goddesses will instantly recognize you as their leader when you wear it.Zeus, the God of a Great StoryJust suit up in this exclusive costume and you can assume the role of Zeus. And now that you know Zeus’s backstory, you can regale everyone with the tale of how you defeated your weirdo dad and took the throne away from him once and for all!
Lightning: A Way of LifeWouldn’t life be easier if you could just solve all of your problems with lightning bolts? Rush hour traffic in your way? Just shoot a lightning bolt at those cars. House centipede crawling around in the basement? Hit it with a lightning bolt. Your phone ran out of juice? Give it a good zap with your lightning bolt. Microwave on the fritz? Just blast your frozen dinner with a lightning bolt!That’s how Zeus lives, every single day. He’s the head honcho of the pantheon of Greek gods. He doesn’t need to mess around with any half-measures and pointless dialogue to solve all of life's troubles. He just shoots a darn lightning bolt at them and all of his problems go away. What a life! Us mere mortals need to live a much more complicated life, but perhaps you can get a small taste of what it’s like to be Zeus by wearing this exclusive costume.Design & DetailsBased on the mighty Greek god, this men’s Zeus costume makes you look like an all-powerful deity. The white tunic top is reminiscent of the garb worn by ancient Greeks. It even has gold accents along the bottom for a truly regal look. The belt has gold designs on it and matches the gold accents on the tunic. The drape is a shimmering gold color and can be tucked into the belt. A pair of gold gauntlets fit around the wrists, but the true coup de grace of this outfit is the crown, which will sit atop your head to make you feel like the king of all Greek gods!Lightning Doesn't Solve Every ProblemThis Zeus costume won’t actually give you the power to shoot lightning bolts at your problems. It will, however, help you feel like one mighty being. Just make sure you behave while wearing this outfit. Queen Hera will have her eye on you! Her wrath is one problem that even Zeus' lightning bolts can't solve.
Southern charmWhile there was a lot wrong with the antebellum South, one thing they got right was the ladies’ beautiful fashions. These women took “go big or go home” to an all new level, with hoop skirts so wide that they sometimes couldn’t even walk through the door! Sometimes, five whole yards of fabric were needed for the voluminous skirts, and it could take days of work to create a complete outfit.Then, when a stylish belle finally received her dress, it was quite another process to actually put it on. There were the undergarments, the petticoats, the crinolines, the hoops, the underskirt… and the dreaded corset! All that had to go on first before the gown could even put worn. Then there was the detachable collar and all the accessories, like flowers for your hair and beautiful jewelry. We guess southern belles really knew how to suffer for fashion!Product DetailsThankfully, your charming southern belle doesn’t have to worry about trading comfort for style at her next ball with this beautiful Kid’s Lovely Southern Belle Costume. (It’s all there in the name!) This exclusive costume features dark pink flowers in an all over print on a lighter pink background.

There’s also a triangular chiffon scarf that can be tied as desired. (Note: The gloves and parasol shown in the photo are each sold separately.)Dance the night awayOnce your little girl puts on this Kid’s Lovely Southern Belle Costume, she is guaranteed to be the belle of the ball and be able to dance the night away!
Wildflowers and Wagon WheelsThe pioneers of the wild west were an adventurous bunch. People left their tight-knit communities for all sorts of reasons. Some loaded their wagons for the long haul, taking on the Sierra Nevada mountains to take up residence in California. Others craved the isolation of the plains, building houses out of sod and working the wild land. Whether they were crossing the plains or settling in the midwest, the men and women of the wagon trains all reported back on the beauty of the prairie. If you crave the sensation of taking in an endless blue sky above an ocean of grass with meadowlarks among the wildflowers then slipping into this Women's prairie dress costume will make you feel like you're one of the brave 19th-century pioneers!Design & DetailsThis calico dress would look just right on a prairie homestead. The one-piece dress zips up the back and has a long skirt sporting a wide border and a blouse top with the billowing sleeves that were so popular in the 1800s. The top is detailed with decorative buttons on the front and velvet trim along the collar and cuffs. Accented with a cameo brooch, this dress is a lovely pick for plays, reenactments, and costume parties. Pieces of the PastWhile we're glad that we no longer have to cook our food over an open fire or scrub our clothes by hand, it's a lot of fun to visit the 19th Century every once in a while. And when you add little details to this costume like a wide brim bonnet, you take it to the next level. That bonnet keeps the sun off your face as you tend to barefoot children and gather herbs to heal people along the trail becoming an important part of building your character. It's amazing how costumes like this can make the past come alive!
Arr for ReinventionAs the Renaissance was winding down, you saw fit to reinvent yourself—artists can't have all the fun. You traded in your small patch of earth. Swapped your peasant blouse for a threadbare captain's jacket and took to the sea. A pirate's life was calling to thee, and you felt ready to make a name for yourself. Perhaps even claim a bit of an island under whatever fearsome name you were given, which led to further considerations. Your simple garb was plenty but plain. Colorful names like Black Bears, Barbarossa Brothers, and Calico Jack don't come without inspiration. You needed an identifier.Design & DetailsAlways the practical pirate, you decided a unique but functional accessory like this exclusive Renaissance Belt would do the trick. Complete your seaworthy outfit with the faux leather Made By Us costume accessory. Its unassuming black color makes it an easy addition to any motley ensemble.

Simply tie on and secure the right length with the belt's silver D-ring fastener, and you're well on your way!
A Sherwood ThingRobin Hood and her merry ladies knew a thing or two about glamping. In fact, many folks said that their little nook of Sherwood forest was the coziest corner of Nottingham. While stealing from the rich, Robin often swiped woven tapestries and shaggy blankets to make the secret dens they wove from sticks much warmer in the damp English weather.Every night the Merry Ladies would get together around a fire to feast on wild rabbit stew and swap stories about their noble heists and their charitable pursuits and every once in awhile they'd get Maid Marian to stop by and play her fiddle so they all could dance under the mossy oak trees. Want to get a taste of the outlaw life? No need to build a den of sticks and stolen tapestries in the woods, simply slip on this Robin Hood Costume and you'll feel ready to take on a character with rich history!Details & DesignThis unique Robin Hood costume balances historical touches and modern fun.

Rock this with your favorite pair of moccasins or a pair of boots and you'll be ready for action.Take a BowWhile this costume looks like it's ready for some action as soon as it arrives at your door, when you top off this Robin Hood outfit with an archery-contest ready bow, you'll have a legendary look. If you really want to bring the Sherwood vibe to life, get your friends to tag along and become your merry guys and gals!
Diety DramaIf there's one thing we know about the ancient gods, they love a bit of drama. Whether it was love or war, they couldn't help getting involved in mortal trouble. They blessed those that entertained them the most, watching as we humans launched ships and attacked lands simply because the most beautiful woman in the world left her husband. Knowing what we know about the gods, it's safe to say they love reality television. They no longer need to meddle in our affairs, we broadcast them for all the world to see. That's nice for everyone in Olympus but we can't help but feel that we're missing out. Wouldn't it be nice if the gods came down and stirred up some good old-fashioned deity drama every once in a while?Costume DetailsThis brilliant gold and white Greek God costume is perfect for making an entrance worthy of Olympus. The costume includes a lightweight toga trimmed in gold. The elastic waistline is disguised with a golden sash.

Pretty and PracticalSteampunk is one of those styles that is hard to define but easy to identify. It’s an interesting and beautiful idea of what the world could have been like or what it might be like someday. One of our favorite things about the steampunk genre is how it blends the practical with the pretty. Not only do those cogs on your goggles help them adjust to your head, but they also look awesome! Brass, which is often the metal of choice in steampunk creations, is certainly shiny and pleasant to look at, but it’s also significantly antimicrobial.Product DetailsIf the rest of your steampunk outfit can be useful while looking good, why can’t your boots be the same? These Women’s Steampunk Boots are the perfect thing to pair with your dress or suit! High heels have their time and place, but when you need reliable, non-slip footwear, boots are the shoes to choose from. They have two colors of faux leather to match either a brown or black scheme, and three functional pockets for all your bits and baubles. You’ll love to wear this practical (in more ways than one) pair of boots on all your adventures!
Hail the KingThe crypt opens. A crumbling stone stairway yawns from the deep. Slowly, the nervous archaologist descends into the gloom. Strange rustles echo from every side, but he is undeterred in his pursuit of history. The light from a lone flashlight sputters over the sandy walls, briefly illuminating cartouches, crocodiles, and blank-faced Osiris images. All of a sudden, the archaeologist senses that he is not alone. There is another presence in the tunnel. He raises the flashlight in one trembling hand and gasps. At the end of the passage stands a golden figure with a staff in hand. History may have forgotten him til now, but he has not forgotten his birthright. The King has returned to rule over the Nile once more! Product Details Forget ancient curses - major blessings are coming your way when you wear your exclusive King Tut Costume for Men! You're regal and you know it, so step into this soft ivory tunic that is perfect for both accepting your loyal subjects' tributes and racing down a dusty road in a shining chariot. A gold and blue-striped headpiece protects your head from the blazing heat, and fits tightly enough to keep from flapping away in the previously-mentioned chariot race. Your royal collar has incredible printed gems and a sheer blue cape that's both impressive and lightweight is attached to the shoulders of the tunic, to keep you cool in the desert sun. A golden belt with an attached drape is emblazoned with a blue bird and black hieroglyphics. We're not exactly sure what they mean, but they probably say something like "This man is incredibly attractive." You're welcome. B.C. BabeRise from your sarcophagus and step into your destined role - not as an undead mummy but as a royal Sun Pharaoh. Your subjects cheer your return to the dance floor!
...grey-eyed Athena slowed the night when night was most profound... - Homer, The OdysseyMost little girls want to be a princess. They want to be rescued by a handsome prince. They want the fairy tale. But that is all it is, a fairy tale. What they really want is a pretty dress, and a story with dragons, and heroic saviors.Now, don't get us wrong.

She doesn’t just want to be a pretty face. She wants to be a Goddess. A wise, and powerful goddess that doesn’t have to rely on anyone to save her. She wants to be intelligent, and strong.

She might not have stories with dragons, but she will have stories where she defeats Titans. It is better to be wise, and fierce, than to just have a pretty dress.
Kids in Ye Olde DaysCan you believe what they had to put up with back then? It’s nothing like the struggles that an average kid goes through today! Kids in the pioneer days of the American frontier had to get up early in the morning to feed the chickens. You know, before the rooster even crows! They had to help out with chores in the morning and they had to gather firewood for the winter. They had to cut down stones, plough fields, and they had to plant fields with crops. They couldn’t microwave some pizza rolls when they got hungry and they had to go to the bathroom in an outhouse. And they didn’t even have smartphone to text their friends!Well, your child is probably glad that they live in the modern age. They get access to video games and computers, but it’s never a bad idea to brush up on history to appreciate the nice things that we have today.

Simple Yet EffectiveOftentimes, the simplest tools of war prove to be the most effective. This is a lesson that Rollo of Normandy has learned well! A tool that's good for chopping wood can be just as useful on the battlefield!

If Vogue existed in the 1770s, Marie Antoinette would probably be the editor. Sure she helped incite a rebellion that completely turned French aristocracy on its head, but you can't deny that the woman could dress! That just goes to show you that it pays to be different from the rest. Our motto is "let 'em all eat cake!" Because you know, who doesn't love cake? Then someone told us that Marie Antoinette said that first and it caused an uproar. If she did indeed say that then she was a pretty smart lady! Again, who doesn't love cake? So get out there and devour as much cake as you please, but do it in our Deluxe Marie Antoinette Wig.
Have you ever wanted to be the President of the United States? It is a thought that many of us have had from time to time and one that, certainly, our parents have considered for us as they proclaim that we had the ability to become anything that we set our minds towards. The Presidency seems to always be that highest pinnacle, the crowning achievement. Then again, some can look at high public offices and wince a bit, pointing at a number that have left a number of us wanting and a few others aghast as we’re trying to figure how they managed any votes! And, even if you think you can handle the job, campaigning is such a pain in the rear.But, there are much easier ways to become the President without having to run around the whole country, talking yourself up and kissing every baby until you’ve managed to win enough votes—and we’re not talking about voter fraud, either! You can just transform yourself into a President that everyone already recognizes with this Ronald Reagan mask. Transmogrify with this full molded latex mask and get ready to yell “Reagan Smash!” as you topple your opponents as one of the most heavy hitting Presidents of them all. But, a warning: remember that Reagan masks usually have a different meaning when you go to banks, so we don’t recommend that.

Make sure she's got a sturdy pair of shoes and that she's not afraid of a little hard work! It's what this costume calls for. Stock Up NowIt's always a balance deciding how many supplies to bring at the beginning of the journey. One thing we've learned, stock up early.

Have fun going on this adventure again with your girl!

Good old Romulus, founder of Rome, very well could have been the first person to popularize the toga. Back then it was common for both men and women to wear them, and they were quite simple and served basic utility purposes. But as the years passed, the toga became a symbol of male citizenship for the Romans, and became a much more formal type of clothing. They also got much more expensive and complicated from its humble beginnings.These days it's hard to think about the toga apart from college frat boys and parties. But, believe it or not, these draped clothes were quite formal and demonstrated success and distinction for many Romans. If your child needs to get a toga of his own, perhaps for a historical demonstration or a play at school, or if he's just looking for something fun to dress up as for Halloween, check out our Boys Toga.This toga is 100% polyester, with the sash sewn to the shoulder with a gold ring accent. The belt is a gold rope, and the toga is easy to put on with a comfortable fit and easy to put on and off style. Don't forget to add accessories to complete this costume, like a pair of sandals (the ones in the picture aren't included with the costume) or an ancient scroll for your child to read from!

Colonial CostumeNowadays you can order a burrito to your living room by pulling the computer out of your pocket and giving a delivery app your address.

And while we can toss a tasty pastry into the toaster and have breakfast minutes after we wake up, back then you had to do the hard work of milking the cow, building the fire, making bread dough from scratch, collecting eggs (if they were laid), and on and on.

We’re exhausted just thinking about it, and the toughest thing we did today was sit in rush hour traffic on our way to the office! How they managed, while maintaining such a unique style, is simply amazing.

Mistakes were MadeThe Medieval era was a time of strong fashion choices. Noble people had wild outfits! Men often wore shoes that were up to two feet long. The toes were so long that they had to be stuffed with wool and whalebone to be kept in place. Men even wore them to battle and had to cut off the tips of the toes in order to run away from the enemy. Of course, women didn't escape inconvenient fashion trends. Rich gals wore tall cone-shaped hats, making going through doorways quite tricky. Ladies who were worried about ruining their nice shoes in the mucky streets would protect them by wearing wooden stilts that slipped over their shoes. This was so difficult that they had to hire attendants to help them get from place to place. Medieval fashion trends didn't get it all right. What era did? At least now we can pick and choose what Medieval fashion trends we'd like to keep. We think this gorgeous green gown is a great place to start!Design & DetailsThis Made By Us emerald gown was created by our history-loving creative team.

Home on the PrairieLife on the prairie wasn't easy. That's for sure!

The Warriors of OldThe great Roman gladiators of the time, although pitted against each other in the arena, were very well treated for the most part. They were fed well and received the best medical attention money could buy. After all, they were both warriors and entertainers for the Roman people.After all, the great audiences of Rome wanted to see mighty warriors locked into intense competition! These powerful fighters took on not only each other in the ring but lions, tigers, even bears! We know what you're thinking, "oh my!" (You were waiting for that, weren't you?) "I could never be one of those fearsome brawlers!" Well, we're here to say that you absolutely can...look exactly like one of those battling warriors!Product DetailsEnter the ring in this Roman Gladiator Costume! Wear the ancient armor of the most brutal group of fighters since the Spartans! (And yes, among other exotic peoples, Spartans fought as gladiators.) Which tools will you choose? A net and spear (difficult to work but deadly for catching enemies by surprise), dual swords (flashy and full of offense but hard to block javelins!), or will you pick up the age-old classic pairing of the sword and shield? This costume comes with a pullover tunic, body armor that attaches with Hook and Loop fastener, faux suede armbands, a matching headband, foam shin guards, as well as a molded plastic medallion. Add some Roman-style sandals to complete the look and let the crowd go wild with the entertainment you provide!

But hey, maybe looks will win the crowd, it's happened before!
ANCIENT HISTORY OF COMFORTWhy do we love the toga? Well, there is a perfectly simple explanation to the question of why togas are some of the best party attire and most beloved of Halloween costumes. Our ancient Roman ancestors had the right idea when they decided to start the tradition of wearing togas to formal events or parties. They are the most comfortable, stylish, and trendiest form of party garb, and they are so easy!When you have an important event to join, you cannot waste a bunch of time trying to piece together the perfect layered look. And, if you're going to need to participate in a particularly rumpus affair—whether it is an important early-spring date with Caesar or a group outing—you can't be bogged down by all of that constricting clothing! If you have to hang out with a whole arena full of senators to debate everything from the bucellarii to the vigintiviri—there really aren't that many cool-sounding ancient Roman A- or Z-words—what's the answer? Toga! Toga! PRODUCT DETAILSThis Toga costume is a sleeveless pullover robe with a V-neckline, so you don’t have to deal with the hassle of tying a real toga. (Trust us; that is a real pain in the podux!) The sash is draped over the shoulder and sewn, keeping your toga perfectly placed all night, with little risk of it accidentally coming unraveled. You don’t want to show off your Lupa themed underwear now do you? This costume is made from a 100% polyester interlock knit fabric, keeping you clean and dry throughout the night’s adventures.COMPLETE THE LOOKOnce you've got your epic attire, it is time to refine the look. Will go to the route of the Deity with golden laurels and winged sandals? Perhaps a mighty sword to become the army's general? Or will it be a hidden knife so you can hear the astonished words, "Et tu, Brute!?"
BALDUR IS BACK!The most beloved of all the Norse deities wasn't Thor. He was pretty darned close, but nobody could hold a candle to Baldur. That's probably because the guy was so awesome that he literally glowed with huggable light. Seriously, he was so popular that his doting mother had no trouble asking just about everything in the cosmos to just be super nice to him. We're talking dogs, cats, sharks. Heck, even fire was like, "That kiddo is awesome!" Of course, Loki is a mischief-maker and never could leave anything alone. But, the bad guys never win by the end of the story, so we're pleased to announce that everyone's favorite Viking is back to make the whole world smile. Turns out that your kiddo is every bit as special as you think he is and it is time to share the smile you have with the rest of existence. You can do that pretty easily by letting your little darling gear up in this Adorable Viking costume! DESIGN & DETAILSThe whole team threw in for this one to make sure that this look would have the highest quality materials and craftsmanship. You'll have a gray minky hat styled after a horned helmet. The orange sherpa beard is attached to give your kiddo a soft but rugged beard. This shirt and pants are made of dark brown sherpa fabric to ensure warmth and comfort. The vest, which is attached to the shirt, is made of a light brown faux fur. Gotta keep your little Baldur-babe huggable! THE MOST HUGGABLE VIKINGVikings might not usually be described as sweet and cuddly, but that all changes when you combine your kiddo and this snuggly Viking look. We're pretty sure that your kiddo is cute enough all on his own, but a ferocious Viking roar combined with minky and sherpa fabric never hurt the process!
A Medieval Anti-HeroSome knights get all the glory. Turns out all you had to do to get your name in the books was show up at a big circular table and tell a bunch of jokes around a bunch of blokes who you aren't even sure really knew how to ride a horse! Meanwhile, you walk around the court in your pretty stylish armor and folks freak out just because you like the look of black on silver. "Oh, no! The Dark Knight comes!" they scream and you're like, "Yeah, I just finished saving your town from roving bandits! You're welcome!?"Let's be honest. If you're not in a set of shining silver armor and speaking thirty unintelligible syllables per sentence, most of the villagers won't give you the time of day. We're here to change that, though, by showing that even those edgy crusaders can save the day. Design & Details Show that not all knights shine in the same style when you gear up in our Dark Crusader costume. This is a Made By Us design that channels the edgy quality we love in anti-heroes and applies it to the bold knights of the past! Start with an inspired tunic with the look of chain mail, and a hood to match. The full-length tabard is worn over top and provides the dark color you've quested for as well as a white cross on the chest. Cinch your look together with the double belts and pair of gauntlets and you're ready to tackle anything! (Though maybe a prop sword and shield wouldn't hurt!)The Dark KnightEvery legend has a story about the knight in shining armor saving the day. It is time for you to tell a story that is brand new when you step into this Dark Crusader costume and claim the tale for yourself! Don't forget your prop sword and shield because you don't want to end up like that other Black Knight of Camelot. (Let's go ahead and avoid even those flesh wounds, okay!?)
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.Your son has just gotten the part of Benjamin Franklin in his school play.

Why, you give them exactly what they want pardner, 'cept we reckon you give it to them with a little more attitude. We reckon you ought to serve those rowdy varmints a taste of surly with that whiskey.It takes a particular type of hombre to serve the rough and tumble cowboy types of the Wild West.

Colonial Etiquette 101Before regular baths, indoor lighting, and other modern niceties were available, etiquette was much more strict. Maybe this was to make people feel fancy, even while stepping through who-knows-what in the streets and picking bugs out of their wigs. For instance, children were instructed to never approach their parents without bowing first. And even then, they had to address good ol' mom and dad as sir or madam!George Washington transcribed party fouls such as, "lift not one eyebrow higher than the other" and "it is bad manners to cross your legs."

Just be sure and take a few rules from George Washington's notes and keep those legs uncrossed!
A Different Kind of Spin ClassWhen Jenny showed up for Colonial Spin Class, she was shocked. Where were the bikes? Why was everyone wearing full-length dresses instead of yoga pants? While Jenny didn't get the full-body workout she came for, she was blown away by how fun it was to sit at a spinning wheel and make yarn while catching up on pre-revolutionary gossip. What was Goody Tailor thinking wearing scarlet to Sunday services? The Johnsons purchased yet another ox and haven't even sold their wheat crop yet. Captain Emanuel Downing was planning on coming to the country dance to the excitement of every unmarried young lady in town! At the end of the two-hour class, Jenny had decided that she was definitely going to return. Next time, though, she was going to be dressed for the occasion!Design & DetailsThis historic costume was designed by our in house creative team. Since it's Made By Us, it's been designed with longevity in mind, making it a great pick for theaters, schools, and history enthusiasts who want to dress up again and again.

Talk about the best of both worlds!
