Slither into characterThere are a lot of wonderful goddesses in the Greek canon. There's the goddess of the hearth, the goddess of love, the goddess of the hunt. But here's the thing, a lot of these goddesses have some serious issues. Jealousy is a major player in many of the stories. Take Medusa, for instance, totally innocent in her story, a goddess curses her with snakes for hair after she catches the goddess's husband's eye. Not cool. But in the end, who's more famous. That goddess or the once-unknown Medusa? Well, some people might be able to think of the goddess's name but Medusa is definitely more popular!Product DetailsThis lovely golden crown will make your basic toga ensemble jaw-dropping and unique. The molded headpiece has a geometric crown base and a nest of slithering snakes with menacing red eyes. The foam interior makes this headpiece comfortable to wear for hours while the elastic band will keep your headpiece in place throughout the evening. Tipping the ScalesAre you ready to create an immortal look? This headpiece will make you look like you're straight out of the legends. Pair this with any of our toga or goddess costumes and you'll have a look that'll be iconic!

DEATH WAS NEVER SO CUTEIf you ever wondered what the afterlife was like and got that slight pang of fear that goes shooting up your spine, well, we can completely understand that! The unknown is pretty scary. Even the word itself sounds pretty ominous. It probably didn't help that the ancient Egyptians decided to say that Death was like a shrouded black dog that hovered over you, ready to judge your soul against the weight of a feather or clunk you with his golden staff! But, who are we to say that isn't what death looks like? Frankly, a cute black pupper is a good deal easier to deal with than the phantom robe with a slashing scythe. Still, we can probably do better. We can make that image just a little, oh, we dunno... cuter? And, as everyone knows, tiny things are adorable! So, let's take that giant, scary Anubis and shrink him down into kiddo size and, zap, we've got a totally inviting deity of death to help soothe our fears. DESIGN & DETAILSTake the first step to afterlife comfort when you give your child this kid's Anubis costume. It comes with the black mask that features tall dog ears & eye holes, and a shining striped hood. The collar is a shiny gold wrap that covers the top portion of their chest. The shirt is a tight long-sleeved black jersey and the pants have puffy harem-style legs. The sash and belt feature the same gold of the headpiece with ancient Egyptian hieroglyph styled markings. The attached long teal cape and golden cuffs make your little death god ready for work! BOUND FOR ETERNITYAnubis was supposedly bound for all times to watch over the underworld and evaluate every soul that passed through his domain. We know that's a lot of work for a first-time deity, so we've worked out that your kiddos will only have to look the part until they're ready to tackle the big stuff. But, they're going to feel truly mighty in this Anubis look, either way!
Why can’t the post-apocalyptic world have anything nice? It’s always full of weirdos, biker gangs and cannibals… or at least that’s what every post-apocalyptic movie we’ve ever seen has taught us. Isn’t there some kind of future where the toxic waste hasn’t transformed half the population into blood-thirsty mutants? Isn’t there some version of humanity’s future that leads to rainbows, sunshine and everyone singing a spirited rendition of Kumbaya in a peaceful circle?Bah, who are we kidding? That kind of future would make for one snooze-fest of a movie! If the world is going to head to hell in a hand basket, you may as well look like a tough as nails kind of hero who eats deadly wasteland mutants for breakfast! That’s why if you plan on roleplaying as an apocalypse commando, you should be wearing this Wasteland Warrior costume.This men’s costume takes its inspiration from the many dystopian movie depictions of tough anti-hero types. It comes with a shirt that looks battle weathered, along with a belt. (You can never have enough belts when you’re wandering through the barren lands.) Of course, it also comes with glove that makes your arm look like a big old metal claw, because nothing says I survived nuclear fallout quite like a metal claw for a hand. Once you’ve gotten yourself all geared up in this rugged costume, you may just feel like doing battle with some bandits to assert your supremacy. After all, it’s survival of the fittest out there!

Best Curse EverThe fact that Medusa was cursed (very unfairly, in our opinion) meant that she had to leave everyone she knew behind and make a new home for herself in solitude. She found an uninhabited Mediterranean island where she made friends with a bunch of snakes and set up a small castle.Then she kicked back and enjoyed that fresh Mediterranean breeze. With some nice, fresh fish and the ability to spend her time as she wished, she was in pretty good spirits until that Perseus came along. We almost wish someone would curse us and force us to live on a private island in one of the most beautiful places on Earth!Product DetailsMaking sure you are dressed right for any occasion is very important, which is why we recommend setting yourself up right with this Women's Medusa Queen of the Gorgons Costume.

Do you sometimes wish you could simply saunter around with a white parasol? Would you love wearing white gloves on your way to have lemonade on your neighbor's porch with your hair coiffed to perfection? We're grateful for modern conveniences, don't get us wrong but sometimes we wish we could simply travel back to a time when ruffles were more accepted. We're still waiting on pins and needles for that time machine to get invented but in the mean time, we might as well celebrate those lacier times. So, there are a few times a year that you have that opportunity to embrace that frilly style you might crave. Sure, you might be super excited to put on your gorgeous dress but if you want to complete your Victorian or Southern debutant costume you'll need the right accessories.

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.
Ax us no questions and we'll tell you no liesWe went back in time and polled a Viking village from the sixteenth century about their preferred battle weapons. Honestly, it didn't go very well because the people we elected to go in and take the poll were taken captive in an instant. The Viking warriors took their tablets, their sunglasses, and raincoats. The little warrior kids even snatched Anthony's pocket protector. So if an anthropologist discovers what looks like the first ancient Best Buy in Northern Norway, they can give us a call and hear the story. We did get an answer, by the way. Anthony ended up charming his way into the community by breaking out his early nineties rap routine. Lucky for our data, he had grown up as a beatboxing nerd. Once he had warmed them up the Viking warriors let him know that the two-handed ax is the only way to go when it comes to heading into battle. Product DetailsYou'll love the hand-made look of this ax. The handle is long and has a warm color. The ax head is silver with Nordic details stamped into the metallic finish. Big, Bad, and Battle-readyWhether you're dressing up for Halloween or you're heading out for LARPing, this ax will make you feel ready for the shield wall. It'll pair well with any of our Viking costumes. Plus, as all the other Viking's know, the two-handed ax is the only way to go!
Historical SpotlightsIn our experience, some of the best-looking costumes get overlooked just because they were inspired by a historical era that doesn’t lend itself to outfits with a lot of bells and whistles. But this Adult Green Renaissance Lady Costume is the rare exception, because it goes hand-in-hand with one of the best-known tunes in English folk music! So just for fun, we thought we’d toss in a few bars of our own interpretation: Alas, good lady, you’re headed wrong If you think you can purchase theeA finer set of Renaissance dudsThan this gown in the color green. Green, green is on the sleeves, It’s on the bodice, o’er the knees,It’s in the grass, it’s in the trees,Now you can look green like these!Can’t you just hear the trill of recorders and the idle strumming of lutes? Well, we can—but we have a tendency to get a little too immersed in these kinds of things. If that’s even possible!Product DetailsEither way, we think this is the perfect outfit for a costume party or Ren Faire, especially if you want to get in the olde-fashioned spirit without fussing about authenticity. This elegant combo includes a flowing dress in rich green velour with gilded accents befitting a noblewoman, and a flowery headband to match. With a little music from the period and a quaint pair of dancing shoes, it’ll be a real challenge not to cut a caper or two!

Wash Your HandsWhen Florence Nightingale came on the medical scene during the Crimean War, more soldiers were passing away due to sickness than injury. Once soldiers entered the medical bay they were exposed to some seriously awful bugs. When the sharp-eyed, diplomatic Nightingale saw the conditions of the medical tents she wrote to the government to tell them to save the soldiers through hygiene. Under pressure, the government went to work improving ventilation and sewage treatment.In the meantime, Florence implemented handwashing rules and trained nurses in keeping sanitary conditions. Under her watchful eye and lantern light, the rate of survival in the hospitals went from fifty-one percent to an amazing ninety-eight percent.

This costume can be completed with a lantern to represent Nightingale on her nightly routes, checking on patients as everyone else slept.

We all know that it is good to be king. At least, we’ve all heard that it s good to be king. Very few of us have actually had the opportunity to stand up and rule over a kingdom. While we have lacked those opportunities, it also means that we haven’t felt the burden upon our brow of that rulership. One has to stop and question how daunting a task it must be to know that your every word has unshakable weight upon your subjects. … For most kings, anyway. There have certainly been few that didn’t quite have the respect of all their supposed worshipers.But, we’re sure that such troubles won’t be yours during your long life as monarch! That’s why we’ve invested everything into your royal Gold King Crown. Made of glimmering and shining (faux) gold, the crown has comfortable inner padding. We can’t have our mandated ruler experiencing discomfort upon thy lofty brow! Decorated with brilliant (faux) gems and diamonds, this crown certainly is worth all the coin in ten thousand (imaginary) kingdoms. Hail and long live our monarch!
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!?"
Is your daughter a strong leader? When it comes to recess is she the one who organizes the races or decides what that group is going to pretend that day? Maybe she's always volunteering to read in class or bringing that science project to the next level. However she uses her leadership skills, you know that she could do anything, even lead a nation. When she was eighteen years old Cleopatra was put on the throne alongside her ten-year-old brother. She enjoyed a couple of years of power but when she got older her brother banished her. After that she probably let things go, right? Ha! Nope. She had some servants roll her up in a carpet and sneak her back into the palace when her brother was having a visitor, Caesar, you know, the super famous leader? Yep, so she meets up in secret with this guy who had a much larger army than her brother and convinces the guy that she should be the one on the throne. How's that for leadership? She might have been wearing a costume very similar to this when she enrolled herself from the tapestry. She would probably have been wearing a golden light weight dress and the traditional Egyptian golden collar and belt. With the undeniable stance of a Queen and her legendary diplomatic skills, it's no wonder that Caesar sided with the celebrated Cleopatra. When your little girl dresses up as this mighty queen she's sure to feel as powerful as that immortal heroine that ruled in 51BC. Maybe she's dressing up for a school project or maybe she wants an imperial Halloween costume this year, either way, this Cleopatra Halloween costume is sure to support her leadership aspirations. She knows better than anyone, that a queen doesn't follow the crowd, the crowd follows you.
Mixed MotivationsIf you had lived in Europe in the wide range of years from 1095 to 1492, you probably would have known a man or two who had joined in a crusading movement. It was a popular choice for many reasons. For one, if you were a serf, you legally belonged to your lord. The pope promised that serfs that joined in the fight would be given freedom on their return. Soldiers also joined to see the world, get land, gain wealth, and have their sins wiped clean. Like all other ventures, every individual had their own reasons for joining. Now that the crusades have been over for more than 600 years, the little crusader in your life can choose their very own mission. Are they crusading to fight for freedom from an early curfew? Or perhaps they're campaigning for a trip to an indoor water park this winter. Like the actual crusades, every soldier is in it for a different reason. Whatever your child's motivations might be, the mission is sure to be more successful if they're dressed for success!Design & DetailsYour child will feel like they're ready for anything when they slip into this Made by Us crusader costume. The costume has a tunic at the base and with silver sequins that make up a chain mail look and texture. Your child is sure to be excited about the "shining armor" look. A red cross tabard is draped over the tunic and the hood is draped over the neck, looking awesome whether it's worn up around the head or down. The look is topped off with details like the draping belt and faux leather gloves. A Sharp LookKid's will be jumping with excitement when they know this costume is coming in the mail. Make sure they're ready to wear this costume as soon as it's out of the package by adding on a sword and shield and pairing it with leggings and boots. We'd say this costume will conquer this Halloween with ease!

George Washington. One of the few presidents that everyone can recognize, able to even state that he was our first! We can imagine him with this fist on his chest, sailing across the Delaware River. We can imagine the tales we’ve heard… his wooden teeth and his proud proclamations that he couldn’t dare lie about cutting down the cherry tree. Few know the truth of where he got those wooden teeth!… Ok, so that was probably a lie, but it is hard living up to the high pedestal that the founding fathers left for us. Harder still to stand up to the first President! But, we can try by knowing as many obscure details about the man as possible. For example, he was born with no mortal father! Er, no, that was Merlin. George Washington was born with no middle name, though! He was also a rather exceptional dancer. As there weren’t any video games to play in the 18th century, we were left with few diversions and as a growing man in the social order, he was expected to attend many balls and parties. Finding that he enjoyed it so much, his skill quickly developed and so did his attraction to all the ladies at the dances, many of them attempting to dance at least twice with him!So, while there is a lot to live up to, it is generally accessible! And most of it can be done even without rotting out your teeth, first. You can start by helping your tyke climb into this George Washington costume. The blue polyester jacket has shining buttons in the front and the white cravat shirt just screams the right time period. Black vinyl boot tops make for a reliable look for the old world foot wear. Include a few other accessories, such as the iconic white wig or even the notorious cherry chopping axe!
Being the leader of the Wolf tribe has some important requisites. Firstly, you have to have the right bloodline. The family of the wolf have been ruling the north for a thousand years, and the houses of the north know only one name as their master. And secondly, and perhaps even more importantly, you need to know how to swing a sword in battle. Whether you need to head south to avenge your blood, or you just need to hold down the fort when they snow starts flying, you just never know when you're going to need to have your sword handy to battle it out.Of course, our recommendation would be to arm yourself with this Wolf Master shield and sword set. It has a molded design of a wolf's head featured prominently on the shield, which makes carrying it around kind of a no-brainer. (Since the wolf is the sigil of your family, of course!) But, it also comes with a sweet sword that's ready for action. While this plastic armament set might not actually suffice for battling snow zombies or trying to unseat the king, it will complete your authentic medieval look. Pick up this unique prop accessory set to complete your costume!
In the windstorm, your stunning, brand new airship is coming apart at its tasteful, decorative seams.You need to do something to keep it all together. Go grab your blowtorch, and your welding gear because you need to start fixing it now. If you don't get it fixed now the whole ship will go down. Everything you have built gone forever. All the people, the ones who are so loyal to you, will have no home, no job. You better get to work.But oh no, where are your welding goggles? Oh, that's right, your last pair broke in the last storm. As an inventor or aviator in the steampunk world, you need to have a decent pair of goggles. You live a dangerous life full of explosions, high-speed, winds, and lots of smoke everywhere. You'll be tinkering with things all the time, and that just gets messy, you know what we mean. As a result you've always got to have a pair of goggles handy for your own safety. That and because you know you look pretty awesome in them.Well, we have these Gold Winged Goggles to replace your old pair. These antique-gold-tone plastic goggles feature green-tinted lenses, a length-adjustable elastic band around the back of the head, and faux leather wings attached to the sides. They might not protect your eyes from the brightness of the blow torch, the dust in the wind, and any loose flying metals, but they certainly look the part! And they will let you get on with fixing your ship and adventuring all over. When you are all done, just put them on a top hat so they don't get lost, or broken again.
Toga party!!! It's something they've shouted throughout history, from Ancient Rome (where every day was a toga party) to modern frat houses in the good old U.S. of A. Whatever time period you're into... and whether you're plotting the downfall of Julius Caesar, or just celebrating the end of the semester in classic college style... our Plus Size Men's Toga is a timeless way to dress for the occasion!The applications are pretty much limitless with this costume, and so are the personas that you can take on. Greek philosopher? Plato, Aristotle, Socrates--they all totally wore togas. Roman citizen? Togas are what they dressed up in to visit the coliseum... and pretty much everywhere else. College party animal? Yep, you guessed it. No self-respecting frat boy in the 50s and 60s partied without one of these fine tunics (trust us, we've watched a lot of movies). And let's not forget the space cults Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock ran into in basically every other episode of the original Star Trek. All of them rocked the toga like it never went out of style (and if you ask us, it didn't). It may be one of the most versatile forms of dress (and costume) that ever existed.So whatever the occasion... Halloween, campus bash, a vote in the Roman senate, space cult meeting... the toga is a great choice, not only for its wearability and style, but also for its historical street cred. Made by us, the plus size men's toga is a costume for all seasons!
Susan Be Cruisin'There are some people that are born movers and shakers. They see injustice and cannot rest until they've turned the tide. Susan was one of those people. She attended her first women's suffrage event when she was twenty-eight, near her family's home. Three years went by and she was on a podium herself, delivering her first speech of many. After that, there was no stopping her.After writing articles and speaking publically at various venues, Susan B Anthony was arrested in New York for the first time for casting her ballot in a public election. That didn't stop her, she only got stronger. In fact, she continued to fight for the women's vote until she passed away, thirty-four years later in her late eighties. She didn't live long enough to see women throughout the United States cast their first legal votes, but she didn't stop from the moment she went to her first suffragette meeting until the very end of her days! Design & DetailsThis Susan B Anthony costume was designed to pay tribute to the women's right activist and all the ladies that marched and spoke out beside her. The long dress zips up the back with a ruffle around a high-neck and puffed sleeves. The dress is decorated with a purple and green "Votes for Women" banner as well as a button attached to the breast. Topped off with a matching hat, this ensemble will make you feel connected to Susan B Anthony, one of the biggest movers and shakers in women's rights history!The Right StuffSusan once said, "Men, their rights, and nothing more; women, their rights, and nothing less." You see, what Susan wanted was pretty simple but the people in her time often thought her pursuit was fruitless. Celebrate a woman who knew that she would make a difference when you slip into this Susan B Anthony costume!

There are a bunch of perks to being the very first of anything, especially the first president. Sure, you don't have a previous president to blame stuff on, but it also means you are totally allowed to make stuff up as you go. Step into the shoes of the guy who literally wrote the book on being the US president with this George Washington Costume, and add some patriotic authority to your day! Every American knows who George Washington is (at least as the "dollar bill guy"), but it's impossible for us to know what he was actually thinking when he became the country's very first president. He managed to make it work, but what kinds of things could he have done during his presidency that would have made the government a lot stranger? Could he have issued an executive order that all disputes in Congress were to be resolved by a potato sack race? Or, that the president got to wear a superhero style cape as part of their official uniform? It sounds weird, but compared to some real parts of the government, not that weird. No need to worry about looking weird, though, because when you're dressed in this presidential outfit, you're the boss (as long as you also get a majority vote from the costumed electoral college). The overcoat, vest, and matching trousers are a fine example of 18th Century style, and be sure to add a powdered wig to complete this Founding Fatherly look. Whether you're wearing it for a historical reenactment or play, or just having some patriotic costumed fun, you'll look truly revolutionary!

These red and black socks are inspired by Hades' best three-headed friend. Made from combed cotton for softness and nylon and spandex for stretch, these socks fit a wide range of adult foot sizes without the image getting distorted or stretched out. The toe and heel are reinforced with double terry for extra comfort and durability. (You'll need that, because these will quickly become your new favorite socks!) They're even officially licensed--devil dog approved!
What makes a knight truly evil? Well, there are a lot of things he can do. An evil knight doesn’t rescue fair maidens from vile dragons. Instead he rescues vile maidens from fair dragons. It’s a lot easier to do, and a lot more rewarding too, if you catch our drift. When an evil knight goes to the local tavern, he never tips the ale wench more than 10%. And do you know those people who take steaks from the meat department and leave them in unrefrigerated areas at the grocery store? They’re evil knights, all of them. We know so.But you can’t be an evil knight without looking the part. We’re talking black-on-black clothing, hooded robes, and skulls on everything.Also, evil knights never wear white before labor day. We personally think that last part is going to far, but we don’t want to say anything because we’re thoroughly happy not being impaled by six foot long claymores.If you’re looking for a totally metal costume, something that really says “none shall pass,” then you’ve come to the right place. Our Evil Knight Costume has the tunic, gloves, cape, and belt you need to let do-gooders know their days are numbered. So pledge your allegiance to a dark wizard, a netherworld demon, or just your plain old nasty self and get out there and start terrorizing the land!
Hair with AttitudeDo you know those times when you wake up with a hopeless bad hair day? You take one glance in the mirror and you know there's nothing you can do. You could break out your hair straightener, ramp up your hair mousse, or call on all the bobby pins in your arsenal but that cowlick in the back of your head is still going to stick up straight. In the end, you just have to ride the bad hair day wave or figure out a way to work a hat into your ensemble. But all your bad hair days put together can't beat the day that Medusa woke to find a goddess had cursed her with reptilian locks. If you think cowlicks are annoying, just imagine if your hair could actually bite back if you took a comb to it. At least your locks would never be boring, right?Design & DetailsThis Made-by-Us green wig is a stylish interpretation of Medusa's legendary look. The long, layered curls make an immediate impact with shades of green and black strands. It turns out, having hair with attitude can be a pretty stunning look!Slither with StyleWe're thinking that Medusa needs rebranding. Ancient legends paint Medusa's post-snake life in a pretty grotesque way. But in the end, we're sure that she could have rocked this look if she so chose. So step out with a fresh Medusa look. This gorgeous wig is sure to tip the scales!
Settle Down, Paul Revere!1775 was a good year for the British career soldiers we call the Redcoats. Those whiny colonists in the American colonies were keeping them all in work with their grumbling. Those buckle-shoed yokels were incurring the wrath of one of the strongest militaries in the civilized world just because they didn't want to pay more for tea and paper. Well, the Redcoats didn't mind. Sure, they were far away from fashionable European society, refined tea time treats, and their noble king. But America's streets weren't yet backed up with centuries of refuse and coal dust. The sky was still blue and the water was drinkable. No offense London, you folks have literally cleaned up your act in the last couple hundred years.How were these soldiers supposed to know how many people would rise up over the eight years of the Revolutionary war? The war was close. History easily could have turned out differently. Whether your kiddos have been singing along with Hamilton for years or they're working on a school project, they'll feel sleek wearing the bright uniform of a Redcoat!Product Details & DesignYour child will be able to charge ahead with confidence when rocking this Made-By-Us Redcoat costume. The dashing red jacket is attached to the cream-colored vest. The interior of the jacket is trimmed with a black panel with gold button work. A fancy white cravat is layered underneath. A chest belt makes your child look ready for anything while the boot covers strap over black shoes so the look isn't interrupted by modern kicks. Pursuing HappinessThe pursuit of happiness is never more successful than when it comes to a top-notch costume. Polish this sleek look off with a classic white wig in the style of the late 1700's as well as an old-fashioned rifle prop or ceremonial style sword prop. Whether your child has a spot in a school play or they've come up with a historical Halloween costume, they're sure to love this dignified Redcoat costume!
WHO MIGHT YOU BE?The best part of being in a medieval world is that you could be anyone. Of course, that's also part of what makes the whole thing just a little scary. That cheerful lad down the street running a market cart and trying his best to be proud about day-old muffins? He's actually an assassin waiting to deliver the poisoned bread to a noblewoman! That dirty-faced tavern lass sweeping dry mud from the floor for the sixth time today? A princess hiding from her father's guard! So, when we heard that there was someone new in town, our interest was understandably piqued. Which role in our medieval village will you fill with your seemingly simple appearance? Are you the happy tavern-goer just glad that you have enough silver in your pouch to put your feet up? Do you have ambitions to wed one of the nobility and join the ranks of high society? Are you secretly a wizard in regular clothing, muttering your magics under your breath? DESIGN & DETAILSSet out on your fantastic destiny in a world gone by with this Medieval Merry Man Costume. This look was put together by our own team of design wizards and features a one-piece tunic that casts the illusion of being layered. The ivory jersey sleeves are full and loose. For a clever crafting trick, they are sewn a couple of inches under the sleeveless tunic so it looks like you're fully garbed. Brown cord lacing gives the tunic a period look while the belt and loose-fit pants complete the theme! TIME TO MAKE HISTORYWhen you're dressed like you were part of an older time, it is up to you to decide exactly how everything went down. We can't wait to hear about the stories that you told with this costume. Best part is that with this costume's high-quality construction, there are several tales to be told!
BOSS LADY GOALSCleo was a boss lady, plain and simple. She built an empire in a world dominated by men and she did it with style, sass, and a little bit of controversy, just like any great ruler would. The female Egyptian pharaoh was fearless, attractive and intelligent. We don't know anyone who wears a royal headpiece, carries an ankh staff and can also speak a variety of languages. Cleo's rare combo of brains, beauty, and an overwhelming amount of boss lady vibes inspired our team of talented designers to create the one and only Cleopatra pantsuit. For decades, the pantsuit symbolizes dominance and possesses an ability to command the attention of an entire room. Is it any wonder that powerful women are still wearing pantsuits in the present? We think not!If you'd love to see Cleopatra dressed in a competent and classy pantsuit then you can make it happen by transforming into a contemporary version of the iconic queen. The Cleopatra pantsuit is everything needed to rule over Halloween like the true queen that you are. PRODUCT DETAILSThe women's Cleopatra costume is a Made by Us garment so it's high-quality and high-fashion. The crisp, white jumpsuit features a stylish high waist and a cascading gold-fabric sash that drapes down in the front and the back. The attached collar fastens around the neck while the coordinating wrist and upper arm bands add an extra dose of gilded splendor. Finally, the crown tops off the costume as the final piece that offsets the regal ensemble. BOW DOWN BEFORE YOUR QUEENIn addition to an ankh staff and a pair of killer gold heels, we recommend one key accessory: Caeser hanging off your arm, although a powerful woman, like yourself, never needs a man in order to feel complete.
A Seat at the Round TableGuinevere wasn't only the Queen of Camelot, she was also the queen of interior design. Before she came along, all meeting halls only had long tables where people had to shout battle plans and fighting ideas from one end to the other. The long table that Guinevere gifted to her husband, Arthur, changed meetings up for good. The new design merged aesthetics and meeting logistics and officially opened the way for her to remodel the Camelot castle.As we all know, Camelot ended up being one of the raddest castles of the time. She brightened up the cold, dark stone walls with sprigs of dried flowers and copper accented sconces. Velvet curtains made the bedrooms for all the twenty-five knights of the round table warm and cozy in the winter months. Sometimes people even give her credit for making house plants a thing. It's said she hung Maiden's Hair ferns from the rafters to filter the somewhat filthy Medieval air. Way to go, Gwen!Product DetailsYou'll feel right at home among the cozy tapestries and lush curtains of Camelot when you put on this lovely Guinevere gown. The base fabric is soft with a light sheen. Luxurious gold-trimmed long sleeves fall from the fitted forearms of this ensemble. The wide neckline is accented with a printed floral design while the v-waistline is accented with metallic embroidered trim that falls down the front of the skirt. The look is topped off with a golden crown sporting jewels that match the yellow flowers printed on the bodice. Order in the CourtWith a queen like you around, we're sure all of Arthur's knights are sure to be on their best behavior. No jousting in swordplay in your halls, that's for sure! So whether you're headed to a feast at your local Renaissance Fair, you're in a play, or simply want to look extra dignified for Halloween, you'll slip into the royal role with regal ease in this gorgeous ensemble.
Going on a Halloween adventure may not be quite as thrilling as heading out on an expedition to the New World, but in either case, you still need to dress properly. Suiting up in our exclusive John Smith Costume is the perfect way to look dashing for any occasion!Packing up your home life and setting sail for a whole new continent, like John Smith did when he helped establish the Jamestown colony, can be a scary thought, but it could also be full of excitement, mystery, and maybe even great fortune!

The wide shouldered tunic and dark blue pants go well with a pair of cuffed boots, and the included faux leather shoulder strap look good by itself, or with additional costume belts and toy flintlocks for extra detail.

Style SupportFace it. You wouldn’t refer to pioneer women’s clothing as stylish. Practical? Absolutely! From the rather dull colors to the carefree fits, every piece of apparel worked as hard as the woman wearing it. Brown dresses hid dirt stains earned while cleaning sod houses and tending barn animals. And while floor-length skirts sound like a tripping hazard, their flowy design was easy to move in. A woman could even ride a horse while wearing one.The only thing these “drab” garments weren’t great for was fashion. Strolling into town and trying to look your best in a dust-stained, farm-scented dress didn’t exactly scream elegant or work. And while there were bigger things to worry about than looking chic in a community of frontiersmen, getting to wear a nice outfit has always been a silver lining on a woman’s day!Design & DetailsGain a boost of confidence even dressed in a plain pioneer costume when you layer this Made By Us Women’s Hoop Skirt underneath!

Time MachineTime machines don't exist. Believe us, we've checked into it and no one seems to have the technology to make on work, yet. We're still holding out hope that some brilliant scientist will cook up a way to travel to the time of Ancient Egypt.

Great in Gorgon Green Medusa was pretty much a starlet even back when. A ton of tales suggest she might have been gorgeous enough to make Aphrodite jealous and others depict her as a literal goddess whose archery could put Artemis to shame. But the thing that strikes us the most is the perfect way she could blend green and gold to create a fashion statement that stunned folks into still silence. (Oh, you thought she just petrified wandering victims? Funny how the myths make Medusa into a monster!)Design & Details Dazzle the crowds and make sure stories are told for generations to come by wearing this Medusa Wig for girls. This is a Made By Us wig that comfortably gives your kiddo long green and black synthetic hair. It is styled with a stark crimp to give a serpentine style. Frazzled and messy to suggest a monster who has been dwelling just out of sight for a while too long. Stun the crowds by picking up our reptile stencil to go along with these legendary locks.
Embarking on a crusade on behalf of your kingdom? Guarding a mysterious and powerful artifact from dangerous foes? Heading to the renaissance faire, and can't decide what to wear? The one thing all of these situations have in common is that this Men's Templar Knight Costume with give you the heroic look you need to be victorious!Back in Medieval times, if you were trekking across the realm with nefarious intent, you'd probably want to stay away from any Templar Knights you came across. The good news was that they were easy to spot in their white tunics with the big red crosses on them (and also the gleaming swords they carried); but the bad news was that they were some of the fiercest and best equipped fighters you could find. That's only bad news if you were on their bad side, though. If you were skilled and dedicated enough, you could always join their order and become a Templar, and then you'd be fighting alongside the very best!Okay, maybe becoming a Templar Knight was a little more complicated than swinging a sword and paying a monthly membership fee; but when you're donning this dashingly heroic costume, you'll appear up to the task! Armor up in this long white and red cross detailed tunic with its attached metallic mesh sleeves and the matching hood, which resemble sturdy chain mail. Add a pair of rugged looking boots and a fierce longsword to tote around as you carry out whatever quest you're charged with!
A KNIGHT OF WHICH REALM?Just because a martial fighter wears a set of armor doesn't mean that anyone knows anything for sure about them. Without a set of pretty clear heraldry, they could be anybody. And, especially if they pull the helm over their head? Well, then you've got practically zero chance. How else do you think that the lady warriors, lowborn fighters, and royal heirs alike prove themselves in jousts only to reveal their face amidst the gasps of the crowd!?Knights come in all types from the armored assassin, chivalric rider, dragon hunter, or royally anointed ser. But which will you be? Are you part of an order of proud paladins who face down darkness at every turn? Maybe one of those round table knights of Camelot legend! Perhaps you'll be a lone ronin with a tragic and complicated backstory that so few of the monsters you face are willing to wait and listen to... (Or are you just hunting for a shrubbery?)DESIGN & DETAILSNo matter which tale you hold in your heart, you must gird your form with proud armor! Our own smiths suffered apprenticeships with Wayland the Weird, himself, just to ensure that this high-quality and shiny armor would meet your mettle with this Royal Knight Costume. Begin with a tunic of silver mesh worn under a complete set of shiny foam-backed plates that cover your torso, hips, and collar. The matching leg covers fit with elastic while the gloves and helmet finish your knightly armor. Complete the look with your foam pauldrons and the attached red cape and you might not even need your sword and horse! (Who are we kidding? You'll want a sword. The horse might be more difficult to get into the adventuring party.)WHAT'S YOUR KNIGHTLY NAME?Once you've got your flawless knight style and backstory figured out, you will need your name! What title (and how many of them you have) is almost as important as which vicious beasts you've beaten. We recommend something like Ser Belvedere of the Grand Lochs, Champion of the Crusade, Beater of Beasts, and Taker of Names.
You flip up the shield on your helmet and survey the battlefield. It's evident that you and your knights have won this battle. And it shouldn't come as a surprise... the years spent honing your skills at Knights Academy, and the certificate you hold in Master of the Mace Arts mean that you have a formidable reputation that precedes you. As for the rest of your troop? A lot of them may have been peasant folk a week ago, but they hold a lance with just enough strength to repel the enemy. And that's all the time you needed to start clubbing!

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.

Just put on the hat and complete your look with a white wig (sold separately) and you'll be ready to become the historic figure himself. Because when you outfit yourself with this detailed look, you'll be ready to help get the nation started... the right way!
The Viking life was hard but beautiful. The Norse lived in a harsh yet bewitching land, they farmed between fjord and mountains, in a cold climate right by the sea. While the men were away, shipping off to trade or raid, the women took control of the farms. It wasn't a meager task, the amount of work to do was staggering. At night, though, the community would come together in the warmth of the fire as they wove tapestries or braided each other's hair and told the intricate legends of their people.Capture some of the romance of the Viking village when you put on this gorgeous red wig. With a long braid and soft curls, you'd look right at home standing on the docks looking out for the returning ships. Pair it with one of our Viking dresses and you'll almost be able to smell the salty sea. With those long locks, someone may just mistake you for the Goddess Freyr.
Good Morrow, Fair Maiden!Oh, to be a beautiful maiden in Shakespeare’s time. You might think their lives were dull if you just looked at historic paintings, but they were actually always having adventures! Portia in The Merchant of Venice dresses up like a man, pretends to be a lawyer, and saves the life of her love during a dramatic court case. Miranda in The Tempest was banished to a desert island and had to deal with a literal monster and a sketchy wizard. (We'll let you guess which one ended up being her dad!) Viola in Twelfth Night got shipwrecked, disguised herself as her brother... and still managed to land the guy, too!Obviously, these ladies are no shrinking violets! So it’s no wonder that you want to dress up like one for your next costume party. We can’t help you with Ye Olde English—we barely passed high school English, and that was with modern words and emojis—but we can definitely help you dress the part in this Plus Size Women's Regal Maiden Costume.Design & DetailsNow, in Ye Olde England, noblewomen’s outfits came in a bunch of separate pieces: the sleeves, bodice, ruff, skirt, and underskirt were all separate! But our Made By Us team wanted to save you time while still sporting a traditional look. This costume features a regal purple gown and intricate details. The inside panel is a lighter purple, while the outer edges are dark, crushed velvet-like material. There’s a beautiful cream trim along the edges and encircling the sleeves in the middle, while there’s also lace trim at the front and along the sleeves.All The World's a Stage!Be sure that all attention is directed right to you in this regal Renaissance look.
