Prepare for War The enemy Saxons think that they're safe. They have no idea what's in store! Just off the coast of the kitchen floats a Viking longboat. Its dragon figurehead is a fearsome sight, but no less terrifying is the band of courageous, ferocious warriors armed to the teeth with their preferred prop weapons. If the Saxons don't immediately hand over all of their chocolate chip cookies, bards will sing of this day's battle! Product DetailsVictory is sure to be yours when you wear this exclusive Toddler Victorious Viking Costume for Boys! The outfit includes a short-sleeved pullover tunic made of brown polyester jersey knit. The V-shaped placket, sleeves, hemline and chest are decorated with printed and stitched braid details. A foam-backed belt secures around your waist and is trimmed with faux fur to match the brown cape with its faux fur collar. Faux fur also edges the foam-backed wrist cuffs (the North Sea can get chilly). The brown jersey knit pants have an elastic waistband for a comfortable fit. No Pillaging NecessaryWhat would the legendary Norse raiders think of the custom of Halloween? "Wait... so people just give us candy? We don't have to raid it? What if we threaten them just a little bit?" Enjoy trick-or-treating with the rest of your warrior band or wear this costume for any dress-up event you like. It's also a fun choice for imaginative play! Hopefully your stuffed animals don't mind always being the pillage target. Maybe later they can help you discover North America.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T, find out what it means to Viking deities. Mostly, respect meant keeping your head high, keeping the whining to a minimum and fighting til the end. If Viking warriors could do that than they would be carried to Valhalla by a type of Norse goddess called a Valkyrie. Sweet deal, eh?The goddesses of the Vikings had it together, at least compared to the gods. They never kidnapped people, plotted violent events, or schemed to make the other gods feud with each other. The Valkyries focused on getting their important jobs done and hit up the mead hall in after hours. Hmm, sounds similar to human women in the modern era. And when Valhalla got too loud and violent? Who'd have thought a heavenly mead hall full of Viking warriors would be loud and violent? The Valkyries would seek some peace and quiet on earth, swooping into battles on their flying horses surrounded by ravens that they could communicate with. That doesn't sound like a bad gig.It's easy to channel your inner fierce goddess for your next costumed event. Lucky for you, Odin has blessed us mere mortals with a perfectly balanced costume that's at once cozy and sexy. In velvet and faux fur, you'll be ready to patrol the wind-blown battlefields of Norway while the off the shoulder dress with thigh high skirt slit makes you ready to party in Valhalla. Talk about versatility! The faux leather armor will let those warriors know you're no one to be messed with, even Thor has to lay some respect down for this Valkyrie.
Simple SolutionYour gal told you in no uncertain terms that for Halloween, she wants her costume to take her back to simpler times. So you got her a retro 50s poodle skirt costume. "No, simpler than that!" she responded. So you brought her home a fabulous roaring 20s flapper frock! "Warmer, but I mean even simpler than that, too!" she responded.Gather up this Girl's Prairie Pioneer Costume, and your historically-minded little miss can enjoy getting back (way back!) to nature with the feel of the open trail beneath her freshly cobbled boots. Not only that, but everything about this costume screams rugged adventure, one with danger, bravery, determination, skill, and good ole' fashioned campfires, trail songs, and yes, a few rivers to ford along the way. You can dress the whole family up as a wagon-full of hopeful pioneers, or she can navigate the neighborhood on her own this Halloween, hunting for the best sustenance (read: candy) while you all tend the fire and oxen back at camp. Here's hoping she collects enough to keep you all going until you make it to the next trading post!Design & DetailsJust look at the detail on this Girl's Pioneer Costume—they just don't make 'em like this anymore. Except...we do! We did! The exclusive dress features long sleeves to keep the night chill off her, as well as a long, muted calico skirt with a ruffled hem. There is a rose-colored bow at the collar and a ruffle down the center of the bodice. A simple apron makes this look appropriately utilitarian, while the calico bonnet will keep her braids in place even during the windiest of travel days.Little TrailblazerThis costume makes for a unique appearance on Halloween, but your girl has always blazed her own path! Her grit, determination, and optimism would have been a perfect fit for the pioneering days—maybe that's why she can't wait to relive them!
Action HeroIn comic books, superheroes save the day quickly. There's a big "Pow" followed by a "Kurthwop" and "Yoink". But for real-life heroes, the fight lasts a lot longer than a panel. Often, the fight lasts a lifetime. For Susan B Anthony, that fight started when she attended a suffragette event with her family and the age of twenty-eight. She was instantly inspired. Soon, she was the one making speeches but that's not all. She wrote articles, organized marches, and eventually, she was arrested for defying authority and casting her ballot in an election. Some people would have assumed going to jail would stop a proper Victorian woman but Susan knew her arrest simply brought more attention to her cause. Susan B Anthony didn't let anyone or anything stop her until her death in her late eighties. If fifty-eight years of devoted social action doesn't make you an action hero, what does?Design & DetailsThe perfect way to celebrate Susan B. Anthony's cause, this suffragette costume would have looked right at place on the streets of 19th Century New York. Designed by our creative team, this dress zips up the back yet has historical details that any young history buff will delight in such as the decorative buttons up one side of the skirt and the ruffled high neckline. A purple and green banner with "Votes for Women" is draped over the bodice and a matching button is attached to the breast. A wide brim hat finishes the whole look off, making sure that your little suffragette is ready to march, no matter the weather. Girl PowerIf your child loves the women leaders of history, celebrating Susan B. Anthony is a great place to start. A great costume for school projects, Victorian fairs, and even Halloween, your child is sure to do Susan proud as she continues to fight for the rights of women around the world!

You're just the man to make those dreams come true, especially when you're dressed like a character from a beloved historical series.
When Crime PaysWe'll never suggest that anyone break the law. Honestly, the last that robbery was charming, it was when some guy in tights stole a bunch of gold from a tyrannous monarch. Then he handed his loot to the poor. He might not have gotten rich from his feats but at least he went down in history. And we don't want to be cheesy (we can't help but be cheesy) but isn't that the type of wealth that really matters? We don't want to encourage anyone to break the law but what would you do if you had Robin Hood's skills? Free the animals from a circus? Confront a bank and give everyone their overdraft fees back? We live in more complicated times these days. Maybe you oughta just dress as Robin Hood to let the poor folks know that you're on their side!Product DetailsWhile most costumes don't have usable pockets, this quiver will be there to help you carry your belongings and stay in character at the same time. Slip your arrows into the twenty-two-inch long quiver and slip your wallet into the functional pocket on the outside. Maid Marion is sure to be impressed by your ingenuity!Not Gonna Miss Your ShotHalloween only comes around one time a year and though we can think of other reasons to dress up, you've got to make your Halloween costume count. So, make sure everything's in place with this quiver prop. You've got a shot at having an awesome costume. We know you won't miss it.

Your son probably dreams of ascending the social hierarchy to knighthood, saving an imperiled kingdom, and living on for time immemorial in cherished tales of bravery, chivalry, and honor. Wow, that's great—what a kid. But none of us can achieve all that at the flip of a turkey leg, you know?We all have to start somewhere, and it's a noble thing to recognize that earlier rather than later. The path to a gilded set of armor, a majestic steed, and a lance of one's own often begins with a plank of wood, some rocks, and an imagination. And what better way to foster that imagination—at the Renaissance Festival or elsewhere—in a set of garments that hearkens back to the good ol' days, where playing a game of chicken on a horse with a pointy beam was the preferred spectator sport. Pondering how this could be in our Boys Renaissance Squire Costume might just get those imaginative juices in your little adventurer flowing!This period-authentic costume (minus the polyester and elastic) will have your squire ready to attend you at the joust, feast on mutton after, and awe at those sword-wielding knights and pirates all the while. If you aren't familiar with Arya Stark of Game of Thrones or Inigo Montoya of The Princess Bride, here's a small spoiler: they are really, really cool—and they wore similar attire. Coincidence? We think not. Now's your chance to equip your little hero with the garb necessary for his rags-to-royalty story to begin!
If you think that all Child Tan Pants are pretty much interchangeable, you're sorely mistaken. Unless by interchangeable you mean that a pair of brown-ish breeches makes a great addition to any number of costumes. If what you really think is that our exclusive Child Tan Pants are no better than beige leggings from any haberdasher or five and dime, you're in for a big surprise!Huh. To our surprise, there aren't a lot of haberdashers or five and dimes left. Technically, even though a fresh pair of our Child Tan Pants would boast finer fit and finish, their musty old pants might still hold some value among collectors of vintage legwear. We learn something new every day!Well, our Child Tan Pants are tailored to wearers of modern-day child-size pants, and we hope that means you (or your child-sized companions). Because otherwise we have no idea why we feel the need to prattle on about this superior set of slacks!
Deer in Headlights Have you ever seen someone so incredibly attractive that you just felt... frozen? You couldn't move, you almost couldn't blink, and you definitely couldn't manage to stutter that perfect pickup line that you'd practiced a hundred and twenty-seven times in private. That might have been a little like what heroes felt when facing Medusa. She's just so gorgeous that it was almost scary - and the snake hair was literally terrifying, so between the those two attributes, even the most intrepid adventurer was toast. And Medusa had one more statue to add to her collection! Product DetailsYour beauty will reach mythical proportions when you wear this exclusive Stunning Medusa Costume for Women! The deep green pullover minidress is made of comfortable polyester jersey knit and features an incredibly flattering plunging V neckline. The butterfly sleeves are edged in metallic gold ribbon. Decorative metallic green mesh drapes from each shoulder and is anchored by a faux snakeskin epaulet. A metallic gold geometric border rings the skirt's hemline. Fasten the metallic gold snakeskin belt around your waist and crown yourself with the snake-detailed headband! And the Champion Is...The Ancient Greek poets wrote a lot about how awesome heroes like Hercules, Jason, and Achilles were, but how awesome could they really have been compared with Medusa? Sure, they knew how to sling spears and fire bows, but could they turn an enemy to stone with just a single glance? Of course not. Could they turn into a winged horse? Um, no. Medusa wins every time.
Temporal DaydreamsDo you ever think about time travel? We do. We probably spend WAY more time thinking about that sort of thing than we should. Maybe we read too many adventure books about the subject. You know the type. A seemingly average woman gets swept through time to a few hundred years in the past. She must figure out a way to travel back to her time, all while getting wrapped up in political intrigue and colonial adventures with her new friends from the past. She might even strike up a romance with some dashing figure from the past... it sounds so exhilarating!Of course, that never happens in real life. Or at least, we've never heard of it happening, but we like to pretend. It's part of the whole reason we got into the costuming gig. Costumes let you embark upon some pretty marvelous journeys. Through the power of costume, you can create a little time-jumping adventure of your own, even if you're just roleplaying the whole thing. Who knows! When you put on this Colonial Village Woman Costume, you might just get sucked into some Jamestown drama!Product DetailsThis historical costume is a plus size outfit that recreates the look of the colonial days. It comes with a simple brown dress that you can wear as you walk through the village. The off-white apron around the waist will have you ready to tend to your daily chores, while the shawl around the shoulders puts the finishing touch to the outfit. The costume also comes with a cap that fits around your head with an elastic band.Make Your Own Historical StoryWhether you long for a historical story of your own or you just want to reenact the early colonial American days, this Colonial Village Woman Costume will help you get into character.
Disorder in the CourtDo you think you have what it takes to serve in a royal court? It sure sounds fancy, but life in court was never easy. You had to be careful with what you said, who you looked at, and what clothes you wore. If you made the mistake of wearing a fur that was nicer than the queen's furs, you could be sent away from court for good! On top of keeping track of courtesy codes, a successful lady in court had to remember the complicated steps of many dances. At least the royal court was comfortable, right? Not really! Castles were often rather chilly and often surprisingly crowded with lice and mice running amok through the fine royal trappings. Looking back, it's enough to make us glad for our less dramatic yet much more comfortable homes. Now, you can dress like a royal lady without having to deal with the disorder of court!Design & DetailsThis Made By Us emerald gown was designed by our in-house creative team. The long gown zips up the back, making slipping into this look easy. The velvet gown is trimmed with ornate off-white lace down the front. The white panel along the neckline and along the sleeves would make this a fashionable choice in a royal court. This high-quality gown is perfect for Renaissance Fairs and themed costume parties, making it a staple in your costume wardrobe!Rising in the RanksAre you dressing up as a lady in waiting? A traveling enchantress? A bona fide princess? Bring your character to life with the right hat, jewelry, or props. For instance, a princess might wear a circlet while a lady in waiting might wear a crown of braids or flowers. In the meantime practice your curtseys. If you're going to make it in court, you'd better start practicing now!
Some people put on a polo shirt and a name tag when they go to work. Other guys like Maximus Decimus Meridius, well, they put on a frightening armor and grab a sword. Yes, his line of work involves fighting against hordes of enemies in the ring and a polo shirt with a laminated name tag just doesn't strike fear into blood-crazed foes. A mask that looks like iron death does though!Introducing this fully licensed General Maximus Helmet from the Ridley Scott film, Gladiator! The molded latex mask full recreates the one worn by Russell Crowe, complete with intimidating spikes on the top and pronounced facial features. It might not turn you into a master of arms, or a combat specialist, but it does make you look tough enough to take on a lion with your bare hands. You can pair it with any of our Gladiator costumes to get the best of your opponent inside the Colosseum.
Queen for a DayThose ancient rulers really knew how to live it up. Why join the 9 to 5 drudgery when you could float down the Nile River on a gilded barge, being fanned by your loyal attendants and eating sugared dates? After all, as ruler of Egypt, you're the living embodiment of the Sun God. You really deserve these special perks. Nowadays, it's harder to get that royal treatment. Having thousands of servants isn't really a thing anymore, and you probably wouldn't want it anyway because, you know, modern sensibilities and human equality and all. But you can still treat yo self! Get that cat eyeliner you've been coveting for months. Book yourself a manicure fit for a princess. And dress as the most sensational, seductive ruler in history this Halloween! Product DetailsShow what a queen you are in this Plus Size Women's Queen Cleopatra Adult Costume! The pullover dress has a soft, velvety top and a ethereal, shimmery skirt that wafts in the warm breezes wafting around the pyramids. The attached blue sleeves are as divinely blue as the desert sky, and the golden apron features matching blue jewels. A jeweled collar is the last word in decadent finery. Endless PossibiltiesThe best thing about dressing as Cleopatra is that you can play it as dialed-down or as sumptuous as you like. You can choose to find a dainty headpiece and go the understated-yet-regal route, or you can twine a live snake around your arm and make your entrance on a royal litter. The choice is yours!
Home on the RangeThe pioneer days were definitely something to behold. While living conditions weren’t exactly great by today’s standards, the world was their oyster – everything was new and exciting. The possibilities were endless. With so much wide open space, it’s no wonder that the imaginations of those who lived during that time gave us some of the great ideas and tools necessary to improve technology and take us even further into the undiscovered territories of the Americas.

A Knight to RememberYour little one has had his fair share of rough Halloweens, so far. For a few years, kids are too young to really participate (or eat much candy), and then the first year your child was ready to go trick-or-treating, he fell at school and broke his ankle! Ouch! The year after that it was the chickenpox, and the year after that you were all really sick with a stomach bug. So, in some ways, this is really his first Halloween to experience the magic and wonder of the night. That's why you've opted for this Kid's Lionheart Knight Halloween Costume, a fine pick! Your medieval scholar in the making won't even know what to do with his excitement when he sees that this striking costume is his to wear all day long, from school to an after-school party to evening trick or treating — with all the candy he can eat!Design & DetailsThis look is crafted with care and attention to detail by our exclusive in-house costume designers, so it really is fit for royalty! As your child dramatically throws back the dark red cape, complete with its own antiqued brass medallion, he reveals the costume's other charms, like a metallic knit tunic, faux leather belt, foam-backed chest "armor" with a printed lion, and slip-on gauntlets. Add a sword for the full effect!Let the Royal Party Start!Your little knight may get very into "decreeing" things while wearing this costume, and he may even want to blow a royal trumpet and gather the whole village in celebration. Hey, after the few years he has had, let him have his fun!
Even though our professional training is in making Halloween costumes, we have an amateur's enthusiasm for a lot of different occupations. So the part of us that likes to read biographies and volunteer at the local historical society was really psyched about this regal Toddler Knight Costume! Unfortunately, their museum doesn't have any displays about the age of chivalry, since the head-to-toe chain mail fad never quite made it to this part of the world. But we're still really excited, so we thought we'd take a shot at giving this outfit some brief historical context. Ahem:About a thousand years ago, people were so good at putting pointy pieces of metal on the end of sticks, they didn't think there was any room for improvement. But along came a clever (and kind of crazy) blacksmith who realized that linking a bunch of little metal loops together was a really great way to stop pointy pieces of metal from getting to the squishy parts of a person! Everybody who had a suit of this new kind of armor became very popular. In fact, the inhabitants of each village and hamlet handed out candy to these glittering guardians, hoping that they'd stick around for a while. That gave rise to knights, a class of armor-wearers for hire, who went from town to town collecting treats for a living! And sometimes they wore crowns for fun (and dramatic effect).In that proud tradition we humbly offer this detailed outfit, so that anyone can reap the sweet rewards that come from dressing up in a shiny coat of mail! The end!

Some girls just don’t like to play nice or stay quiet. Some girls hunger for adventure, excitement and a good scuffle in the arena. They scoff at the idea of dressing up like a princess.

The Ancient Greeks certainly had style nailed down. Nobility! Finery! Passionate and powerful gods! Nights of wild boasting and debauchery! Whether you have ambitions of high society and the delightful antics that might accompany them or grand designs for a place among the ancient gods, there is certainly one thing that holds true: you must look the part. Our modern day has well remembered this and stolen what we can of the ancient times. You’ve heard of the epic toga parties, no doubt? Well, they might brush against some of the style, but they’re still missing the class!But, take that ancient toga and add in a bit of refinement, some properly placed golden sashes, and a pose that is ready to command whole legions and you quickly are finding yourself in the territory of the divine, whether you are a mortal, yet powerful queen of many or have ascended into the highest peaks of Mount Olympus to claim one of the golden thrones as a goddess. The trouble is figuring which you’d prefer. It seems like a silly question: queen or goddess? Who would possibly choose to give up godhood!? But, those ancient Greek gods are a tough lot! Constantly fighting over even minor things and getting themselves into a ton of trouble. Maybe it’d be easier to simply have to deal with mortal affairs!The choice can be yours with this Spartan Queen costume. Don’t let the name fool you, because this backless white halter-style dress could be divine just on its own! But, add a ribbon band below the bust with golden detailing, another at your waist, and then a swath of crisscrossing gleaming white fabric over a floor-length skirt and you have a gown that breaks the confines of time itself. Choose the right accessories, including a goddess wig, golden armbands, or a gold leaf circlet and you could tell Zeus it is time to step down and let reign the first Goddess Queen!

Prehistoric PartyWe’ve come a long way from the prehistoric era when the first cave people roamed the wilds. They were busy hunting Wooley mammoths, learning to cook with fire, and painting beautiful depictions of, well, their hunts in the Lascaux caves of France. In just a slight contrast, we bide our time by curating our social media feeds and ordering burritos to our living room via an app. I suppose we can’t look down on our primitive ancestors for being so primitive, though.

Just add a pair of vintage style boots to this elegantly sporty costume, and your trendy blend of Victorian and science fiction fashion will look perfect at the wheel of a massive airship, or cutting loose on a dance floor!

When she asked, her lady's maid insisted that she couldn't hear anything. A week later, she heard the sound again. This time she went to investigate.

The Goddess Awakens High above the world, a powerful force is stirring. It disappeared over the horizon last night, but now it is back with its warm, golden rays and its sparkling light. Yes, it's the sun rising into the blue sky and bathing everything in its majesty! But the sun is not just another hot ball of gas - far from it. It is a beautiful yet mighty being that demands respect and awe! Product DetailsLook radiantly lovely in this exclusive Sun Goddess Costume for Women! The bright yellow jersey knit dress has a halter neckline and a chiffon top layer. A jagged-cut wraparound overlay of glittery golden vinyl fastens behind your waist and falls flatteringly across the top of the skirt in an asymmetrical line. The golden metallic mesh cape also has a jagged hemline. Add the sun-shaped crown to top it all off! Approach, Ye Mortals The ancient Greeks knew what was up: They liked to leave presents for the sun (who they mistakenly thought was a dude, but oh well) to ensure that it would bless them and never fade. This sun also enjoys nice gifts. Chocolate is encouraged. Cute shoes are a must - you wear out a lot of heels racing from one side of the sky to the other. It's not like you would punish anyone who didn't leave you nice things, but let's just say that you can either deal with a lot of gloomy fog and misty rain, or you can make sure that the sun likes you enough to stick around.

Better than the real thingIt's safe to say that childhood was short in the Middle Ages. It wasn't that kids were less childish, it was just that there was always so much to do. There was yarn to spin, wool to card, peas to shell, gardens to weed, chickens to feed, chickens to pluck, firewood to gather, hems to sew, fields to sew, stews to stir, and water to fetch. So you can be sure that if you were a kid during this time, you'd have plenty of chores every day. Can you imagine a child in today's era yielding a sharp object to peel carrots by an open fire on which balanced a pot of boiling water? Nope, that would not fly these days. Still, it's wonderful to picture villager children of the Renaissance and Medieval era letting loose and gathering flowers. Luckily for us, we might not have a long, long list of chores but we still have access to the clothing of those eras. When you dress your child in a look like this one, it's like going back in time only way, way better!Design & DetailsMade by Us, this Renaissance Villager Costume for girls is a cut above your typical princess costume.

Ruling the NileEgypt was home to many great rulers in the ancient world. Snefru built the first pyramid. Senusret I ushered in an era of peace and prosperity and helped irrigate Faiyum to provide more farmable land in his kingdom. Yet, none of those pharaohs seem to have made quite the mark in the history books quite like a certain queen that become Egypt’s most well-known figure, Cleopatra. Why is that?Well, we happen to think it’s because Cleopatra is a woman of high ambition! Not only did she date the most powerful and most desirable men of her time period, but she also seized control over the Egyptian throne, because her brother mysteriously died when he held power. She also had quite the knack for theatrics. She snuck into Rome by smuggling herself inside of a rug, which was being delivered to Julius Caesar himself. Now that’s a baller move right there! Now, you can easily obtain the look of the renowned leader with this extravagant All Powerful Cleopatra costume.Product DetailsThis exclusive costume comes with many pieces to come together for a regal look, fit for the omnipotent ruler of Egypt. The dress, which is designed by our expert costume designers, is shimmering gold with an overlay, while the belt features gold and black stripes and a drape with hieroglyphics. The costume even comes with a ravishing headpiece. Once you have it all on, you can cruise down the Nile on a barge designed for the ultimate party, or you can wage war on Ptolemy! It’s totally up to you.
History Come to LifeYour kiddo has done all the research, written the required 3-page report, and are making plans to become a living statue. Don't worry, it's just for history class. They're very dedicated though and want to make sure they look just like their chosen historical figure, Betsy Ross.Part of your child's research revealed just how a 19th-century woman dressed, which is very helpful. It's also made the idea of getting them ready for their final presentation a little daunting. Bonnets, bustles, petticoats, and worst of all corsets were standard issue for women in the Victorian era Betsy knew. None of these items exist, even deep, deep, inside your closet. Keep the worries away though.

Redesigning a DynastyIf you could redesign all the wonders of ancient Egypt would you change anything about their design? We realize that it's a bit blasphemous to critique these ancient wonders but that's just because we're looking at history through rose-colored sunglasses. The Sphinx is cool and everything but the thing is, as a half-cat the Sphinx has probably been pretty bored through the centuries. A pharaoh like you could have had his people sculpt a ball of string between the paws of the Sphinx to keep the calm creature calm through the ages. Maybe the Sphinx would have even thrown a few blessings down on your reign. Either way, it would be pretty awesome to head back to ancient times to see the pyramids in all their glistening marble sided glory and float through the green glories of the Nile. But if you're planning on a time travel coup, you're going to need the right costume!Product Details & DesignThis Made-By-Us look is sure to make you look right at home in the palaces of ancient Egypt! Our designers put together this awesome look with a dashing gold, turquoise, and black color scheme. The tunic zips up the back to make transforming into a regal entity easy.

Team up with Nefertiti or Egyptian deities like Anubis or Isis and you'll be able to relive the Egyptian golden era in style. We're so ready to see you roll out your new ideas for the ancient world. It's about time ancient wonders popped up in our new millennium!
Got Any More of that Pigeon Pie?Ahh, life in the middle ages, that was when it was at. It was an era when all you needed to mend your roof was a bunch of dry twigs and sticks like the ones pictured here. People were eating crazy foods like roasted hedgehogs and pies with live animals in them (this was an amusement rather than an actual course of the meal). There were no songs singing, "Baby, baby, baby" all over again. Instead, lyrics were all about the "Hey, Nonni Nonni" instead. Who's Nonni? No idea. But what a fun word to sing! Yeah, the Renaissance Era had it's up and downs. People weren't really into bathing and there was a little bug going around called "the plague". But in the end, we all know deep down inside that those people from the Medieval Era just have more fun. Product DetailsYour child will be ready to celebrate Midsommers Eve in Medieval style with this classy Renaissance Boy costume. He'll look right at home playing page boy to a night with the billowy sleeves of the blouse that's layered under a jerkin. (That's a fancy historical word for vest) The look comes together with elastic-waisted pants and a wide faux leather belt that cinches the waist in. Have a Peasant Day!While the nobility might live in castles and rock all the velvet clothing, we like to think that the lower classes have more fun. They definitely have better dances! No matter what rank your kid is aiming for, they'll tread the line with this simple look. Dress it up with a fancy hat, dress it down with a little dirt on the cheeks. Whether you're heading to the Ren Fair with the whole family or your child simply wants to go the historical route for Halloween, he'll be ready to let out a healthy, "Hey, Nonni Nonni" once he throws on this cool look!
Fierce in FursThese days, when you show up in a fur coat, you're telling the world that you live a charmed life. Wearing a fur coat lets everyone know that you know your way around a high-end department store and you've probably spent some time on a yacht.That didn't used to be the case. For instance, if a Viking showed up in furs, everyone knew that the Viking had resently won a fight with a Norwegian wolf. Honestly, we think that's a lot more awesome than swiping a card at a cash register. Your Viking character will look ferocious in this fur trimmed look. Sure, maybe you haven't spent much time on a yacht but you'll look right at home aboard a longship as soon as you slip into this Viking Valhalla costume. How's that for a status symbol?Design & DetailsThis exclusive Made By Us women's Viking costume is made to help you get into fierce character.

You didn't realize that your kiddo was soaking up so much info when listening to the Les Mis soundtrack! History plays itself out every day in your household. You've seen their dolls march for civil rights. You've packed lunches for trips across the prairies in covered wagons (aka journeys around the block with a little red wagon).

A True Freedom FighterFreedom is a powerful thing. Many take it for granted, but Harriet Tubman cherished it. She cherished it so much, that she devoted her entire life to helping people to reclaim freedom that had been taken from them. She risked her life every day to help craft a better world, even when it meant putting her own safety in danger.

The KingSo we all know of King Henry VIII, yes? The ruler of England during the 1500s who had six wives? Of course, we do.He was a man who loved food and drink. He was fond of the hunt, and (supposedly) pretty good-looking. Sure, he was educated and yes, he had a way with the ladies (we need not even mention his sumptuous colorful clothes), but let's not forget the most important part, shall we? He was King of England. We're talking power here. Power to execute people who got in his way, re-work England's constitution, and of course, start up a new church with himself as the head when he didn't agree with the old church. Henry sure knew how to get his way.Design & DetailsSo if you want to dress up as a powerful ruler, our King Henry VIII Costume is definitely the way to go. The doublet is made of tapestry fabric with gold braided trim on the body and sleeves. There's a bronze medallion on a 30" chain to hang around your noble neck. Just add some fancy boots and maybe a crown (also that white shirt which is sold separately) and you'll be one posh ruler. Just remember you aren't actually King Henry VIII. So don't try bossing people around like you're the king of England, because that probably won't go so well.

Maybe you're thinking of dressing up like a king or a queen, envisioning heaping piles of coinage and blackbird pies. But that's not what being a ruler is really like! When you're the wealthiest and most powerful person in the realm, you're everybody's first call when something breaks and they need help fixing it. You're not just some fancypants prancing around in their puffy sleeves and twinkling crown: you're like a well-dressed 24/7 plumbing service. And Renaissance plumbing is not something you want to have to fix, no matter what you're wearing!So we made this fine Noble Renaissance Man Costume for people who crave a life of leisure. Sure, somebody wearing an outfit like this probably doesn't bathe in coffers overflowing with gold florins. But they also don't have people knocking on their door at all hours because a kitty cat or pigheaded goat is stuck in a tree again, and nobody else can afford a ladder. A Noble Renaissance Man like this is free to tend his modest parcel of land or become learned, to play chess or train in swordsmanship. Or all of the above!And maybe he's not covered in gold and jewels like the chump wearing the crown, but we figured that this guy would still have some pretty stylish clothes. So we made his tunic and bonnet out of velvet. Then we lined his cape with satin, and fastened it with a flashy golden chain. We even threw in some great-looking boot covers and stuck a feather in his cap for good measure. It's a complete look, ready for a costume party or Renaissance Faire!
