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! But, of all their inventions, we have to give the highest praise to their fashion sense. This glorious weave of wool is what separated the scholars from the students. 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. Then you had the ones with golden shawls or even purple stripes! Those meant that you had an emperor or even a member of the Roman Senate striding up to you. 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! You won't need 18-feet of cloth to bring your illustrious frame to bear. With this costume, you'll be able to slip into the look of a toga with a simple tunic that features golden trim and accents on a pure white base. The gold belt keeps things cinched thanks to hoop and loop strips in the back. Give yourself a Senatorial boost with the included gold leaf headband and then choose between the blue or red shawl to complete your look. Command the PartyThe Roman Senate might have been fighting with each other for a thousand years. But you won't have to fight to get a winning look. This Party Toga costume is a comfy and stylish way to bring ancient Rome into the modern day!
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!

It really doesn’t matter where you look for ancient tales about some of the most famous of mythical creatures. Ultimately, the core of the tale rings pretty accurate no matter where you’re finding it. Such is the case of the mysterious Medusa. In some tales, she was a woman of such incredible beauty that she was cursed by jealous gods, turned into a monster that no mortal could handle looking upon, ultimately even meeting her own end upon seeing her horrific reflection. In others, she was a sorceress granted great magic by demons who ultimately subverted her form over several years. But, one great fear remains true of the mighty gorgon… her gorgeous locks of hair became a nest of hissing vipers!But, who is to say that a nest of serpent hair can’t still be pretty! Prove those jealous gods and cruel demons wrong by showing off this exotic and lovely Wicked Medusa wig. This synthetic weave of vibrant green dreadlocks have just enough of the entwined serpent look to give people a second thought about getting too close but are exotic and beautiful enough that they’ll have to take a second look! Join this with the right sequined green dress or a nice set of serpent contact lenses to turn monster into mystery!

AN EXTRA-DIMENSIONAL GENTLEMANWe need Steampunk in our lives. Like, literally our real-life lives. Cleaner energy. Inspired technology. A world of pomp and creativity, of Victorian style and futuristic ambitions. We just need it! Of course, obtaining such a world is a pretty daunting problem.

That seems like we're begging for a time travel disaster!So, we figure that alternate dimensions are the way to go.

Exclusively crafted by our in-house team of artists, designers, and developers, we were sure to infuse it with plenty of signature Steampunk style and we know you're going to love it as much as we do.

Of course, the look wouldn't be complete with a pair suede-like wrist guards, folded short pants, a stylized top hat, and a belt with a holster! SWORD CANE OR GRAPPLE GUN?Once you've settled into your dandy new Steampunk look, the only question will be what accessory is perfect. Cogs and gears, of course. But, will you go for the quirky tech for convenience or the stylish weapon for debonair flair?

The biggest problem with ruling over a country isn’t the constant threat of betrayal and almost certain early death by assassination—often including truly unusual ways of bringing it about.

There must be a more elegant way to rule…Of course, if we look back through history, it isn’t at all hard to land on the one ruler who had style and grace above all: the lovely Cleopatra. You can wield her charm in your rule with her Cleopatra Beaded Snake Headband. This luxurious headpiece is embroidered with bright golden beads that captivate the beauty and exotic nature of the Nile, all while featuring the deadly intrigue of the serpent. You can trust that all will bow to your majesty in this exquisite crown that won’t make you feel like bowing! Just make sure you keep your trust in your own look and watch out for asps of a different color!

Before the Wright Brothers took their flying contraption in the air, the skies were much more capricious!

This makes for a look that is both retro and modern, which makes it uniquely stylish.This women’s steampunk costume will help you stand out in a crowd this Halloween by showing off that modern sophistication through retro details. The women’s costume includes a dress that has Hook and Loop fastener tabs in the back for a secure fit. The bodice, sleeves, and yoke of the costume are all made of brown velvet for a classic yet elegant look. The dress has cream interlock ruffes at the edges of the sleeves as well as faux suede side panels and an interlock center panel on the bodice. The keyhole cutout below the high, ruffled collar gives it an added bit of detail. The skirt of the dress has an asymmetric hemline that is longer in the back for fuller coverage. The included faux leather buckled straps go across the wrists of brown velvet gloves. The foam top hat never loses its shape and has a brown velvet cover to match the rest of the look. The final touch is the plastic goggles that have an elastic band for a secure and comfortable fit. Add a pair of sexy high heeled boots for a complete look that’s out of this time period!

10,000 Leagues Under the SeaBeing the god of the sea, you have never had much interest in the affairs of mortals. There is so much ocean to rule that you are never short on things to do or places to go! From sirens, merfolk, sharks, and krakens, you have your hands full with the creatures of the sea. Not to mention Cyclopes!But still, there are some things that you think the land dwellers do right.

Imagine living in a world where nasty villain comes to your home, takes all your food and money in the name of the Prince, then he laughs in your face. Not cool, dude. Not cool at all. Well, that's the kind of place that Nottingham and Sherwood Forest. The Sheriff of Nottingham happily enforces the unfair taxes on the poor unchallenged by the common citizens. They need a hero!

A Mighty Warrior RisesAlways Ready for BattleFor months, your clan has been under attack. Ever since you landed on this rocky shore and set up your village, hostile Norsemen from the surrounding lands have been trying to convince you - mostly using spears - to leave. Many leaders have tried and failed to drive them off. You've been patient, but now it's time to show them what true toughness, bravery, and cunning can do! With you at the helm, your clan will be safe for years to come. Product DetailsThere's a place in Valhalla for you when you wear your exclusive Victorious Viking Costume for Women! The outfit includes a sleeveless brown minidress with faux fur trim on the bodice and waist. The same faux fur pads the shoulders, trims the fabric gauntlets, and covers the leg warmers that have brown faux rawhide cord ties. A faux leather medallion at each end of the shrug has a printed rune design. The skirt's side slit is practical for fighting, but also just really cute. The Perfect StrategyWhere did you put your favorite battle axe and your leather-wrapped shield? You're going to need all your best weapons and armor to defeat that pesky rival tribe. Although, maybe instead of butchering them all in battle, you could convince them to sail away to populate another land. What if you named that freezing northern island Greenland and convinced them that it was a settler's paradise? That would be hilarious.
Whether your little girl hopes to ring in Halloween parading around the Colosseum as an admired empress or she hopes to trick-or-treat atop Mt. Olympus as a Greek Goddess, she can feel like the crème de la crème of the ancient world with nothing more than a quick and simple costume change. How magical! This elegant and ethereal Ancient Roman Empress Costume is an ideal look for your resident young historian and lover of all of life’s finer things.

We didn’t think so…) But you also may not know that the female figures of ancient times were not “all beauty and no brains”--nope. These wives of emperors, women of status, and of course, the goddesses, were all powerful people in their own right--just like your little girl!So it's high time to crown her the goddess of Halloween and empress of your living room, letting her live out her destiny in this pretty costume. The pink and gold accents of this dress and headband will tickle her fancy and have her feeling like Greek divinity faster than she can say "Aphrodite." This costume is perfect for Halloween and imaginative play--and she may even look forward to going to the Roman baths to scrub up at the end of the night!
Kid TutIt’s not easy being the Pharaoh of the civilized world. Sure, the ultimate power is nice, but it’s hard too, you know. You don’t see the Grand Vizier having to do algebra homework. You don’t see the High Priest of Amun-Ra being told to eat all his peas before he can have dessert. But when it comes to you, expectations are unbelievably high.If the King of Nubia wasn’t such a doody head big booger-breath, you wouldn’t have such a hard time getting along. But ever since he tattle-taled on you for running by the pool, you’ve had a chip on your shoulder when it comes to international relations affairs with his people.Furthermore, the Persians have been making aggressive moves in the Northeast. You haven’t told your mom about it yet because you don’t want to seem like a baby, but the Kind of Persia is really being a mean butt. No, you don’t have it easy. People just don’t understand how hard it is to rule the richest, most powerful kingdom in the world and go to school at the same time.Product DetailsThis Kid’s Egyptian Tunic Costume is a fitting costume for the ruler of all Egypt. The stylish foam headband with its molded vinyl cobra can be worn with or without the accompanying striped veil, as the Pharaoh desires. The belt has fabric ties and the most opulent faux leather and brocade ribbon draping on the front. The large rectangular crushed velvet can be draped in many ways across the broad shoulders of the Lord of the Nile, or the less-broad shoulders of the Lady of the Nile. The Pullover tunic has cap sleeves to give Pharaoh that extra oomph that he needs to have confidence in the morning.Where’s my mummy?He did it! The King of Persia pushed you in the hallway on the way to Social Studies. As you sit back against the lockers and feel the rage rise within you, you cry out in a loud voice, “I summon my Mummy!” Out of the nearby janitorial supply closet stumbles a humanoid creature covered in bandages and wielding a great staff of power. The King of Persia stumbles back and runs down the hallway screaming. “Thanks, Mr. Janitor,” you say, “now I’ve gotta get to class before the bell!”
Creeping CompanionsHave you ever wondered what it would have actually been like to live as Medusa? Cursed with a head of snakes for hair, she couldn't look anyone in the eye without them turning into stone. She didn't ask for the life, it must have been pretty lonely. Except for the fact, that she was never completely alone. She constantly had a whole head of companions. Who says she couldn't have gotten along with the snakes on her head? They could have curled around her head to make her feel loved at night. Or hissed into her ear to whisper all sorts of snakey secrets. If Greek heroes had turned their backs and told this snakey sister that they just wanted an interview, imagine all the amazing stories that they could have found out! Maybe you can get a little inside information when you slip this latex mask over your head.Product DetailsMolded with all sorts of unsettling details such as the scales along the snake's bodies, the ferocious glare on Medusa's face, and the strange reptilian facial structure of this legendary character. The small eye holes allow for limited vision and ventilation so be sure to use caution when you're transforming into this legendary character!
All's Well That Ends WellWhen you were a kid, the adventures of Laura Ingalls Wilder seemed so real. When the Wilder family was sugaring off, you could almost taste the maple syrup, hot from the stove. And you could feel the excitement when Pa came back from the woods talking about a big bear that he had seen in the brambles... even if it was actually a simple dead log, it sent quivers of delightful fear to your head.Oh, the trundle beds with layers of quilts, the hot cast iron stove, the covered wagons, the fiddle music, and let's not forget the sweet pioneering dog, Jack! All of that once felt like it happened to you. Then you grew up, and it feels sort of distant somehow. It's all the modern trappings that have gotten in the way! But never fear, as Ma would say, "All is well that ends well". Now you've got access to this Laura Ingalls Wilder costume, that long-lost land of prairie adventure is at hand!Design & DetailsThis pretty blue dress brings to mind the simple yet cozy settings of The Little House on The Prairie series. The bodice of the gown has bronze buttons down the front, a high neck collar, and gently puffed sleeves. The gown zips up the back to make changing into this costume nice and easy. The floor-length gown has pleats at the waist for a flattering and historically picturesque fit.On the WagonDo you want to bring the past to life? This Laura Ingalls Wilder costume is a great way to bring the pioneer lifestyle to life! Top it off with a wide-brimmed bonnet, picnic basket, or even a crisp white apron to perfect your adventurous old-fashioned character. And once you're done, if you ask nice, maybe Pa will even fiddle you a couple dancing tunes!
Stone Cold LegendMedusa gets a bad rap. Yes, her head of snakes turns men into stone with one look. But can we revisit why she kept on running into guys again? She wasn't hunting down innocent men in bookstores. Imagine her laughing after she pulled a "Made you look" and left a clutch of bookish granite statues behind. That's a pretty funny image, but it wasn't her style. She tried to stay far, far away from all humanity. Those Greek soldiers just couldn't leave a cursed demi-goddess alone when she created a challenge fit for a hero. So, yeah. There were casualties. But we would argue that if you go hunting for a head of snakes, you shouldn't go crying blaming a demi-goddess when you turn into a blob of rock!Design & DetailsWear your crown of snakes with pride when you slip on this Medusa headband. The snakes are adjustable with a shiny scale pattern on the surface. The gold eyes and forked tongues will make your hairdo look like a living legend. Want to fully transform into your Medusa form? Pair this snake headband with one of our elegant Greek or Roman goddess costumes to bring this ancient myth to life!
How does a post-apocalyptic coachman travel to his next steam engine convention? Why, in top-notch steampunk style, of course!We have to admit, we do not always fully “get” the steampunk aesthetic. Cerebrally, it just doesn’t make sense--is it the look of the future, or of the past? But not getting it doesn’t stop us from loving it! It’s so cool. Whenever we see a really awesome steampunk outfit, we understand that true steampunk style is elusive and difficult to capture in words. So if you want to make your ensemble speak volumes about your favorite trend, this durable Brown Suede Coachman Hat will be a huge help! Remember, a well dressed gentleman should never leave home without his hat--and we’re pretty sure that rule is as applicable in the distant future as it was back when steam engines were just hitting the scene!
Renaissance ReadyTo be a Renaissance Man is to be ready for almost anything or at least curious about it all. Which is perhaps why you're so interested in attending a Renaissance festival or even why you've attended several already! But whichever spot you find yourself in, there's one thing for certain: your wardrobe needs to be as ready and versatile as a Renaissance Man would be!Once at the festival, you may find yourself carousing with fellow masters of none in one moment, then jousting on the back of a noble hobby horse the next. You may shoot archery at one station and try your hand at painting like Da Vinci n the next. There may even be a moment for dance and shopping. And in each instance, you'll want to look sharp and feel prepared!Design & DetailsOur exclusive Renaissance Noble Plus Size Costume is here to offer that versatility! The Made By Us ensemble starts with a combination tunic and shirt that fastens at the back with a hook-and-loop fastener. The billowy sleeves of the shirt give the top a familiar loose-fitting style that's comfortable and breezy—perfect for staying cool at bustling festivals. Meanwhile, the long tunic made of velvet and trimmed with faux fur and brocade ribbon provides a regal polish.A velvet cape can be attached to the tunic with hook-and-loop fasteners on each shoulder. With the cape secured, you're ready for a noble portrait, and with it whisked away, you'll feel light and ready to accept any thrown gauntlet. Meanwhile, a Tudor bonnet featuring a purple feather, a chain attached to the collar, and a pair of faux suede boot covers ensure the costume blends well with the fanciest of Renaissance fashion.
How many times have you gone for a hike into the woods and heard a few too many bird calls or other animal sounds and wondered for just a split second if you might have wandered into the amazing Sherwood Forest? Whether we’re talking about the prince of thieves who bounds in tights with his other incanting merry men, the dark and brooding archer who faces a seemingly endless line of corruption thanks to the usurping prince and his mean-spirited sheriff, or even the high-spirited and fox-faced animated hero to the peasants, we’re always fortunate to know that Robin of Locksley isn’t far away! And, it is worth noting that Robin told us long ago what a fox says: he makes bird calls!But, as fascinating and adventurous as Robin might be, it is his love who has our hearts! Maid Marion is a lass that we’d expect should be remaining comfortable behind stone walls awaiting the arrival of her uncle and rightful King Richard to return. But, no! She’s just as ready to hop from high windows onto the horseback and gallop her way into the forest in order to both see her loving bandit and make sure that Prince John is brought down!Join the adventure and win the hearts of the rich and poor alike this year with this Enchanting Maid Marion costume. A grand blend of polyester, crushed velvet, satin, and knit mesh, you’ll be the virtual queen in this sky blue dress with a fancy panel of brocade print.

Enchant your bandit back home and get John thrown into jail with this enchanting look… and maybe steal a few extra hearts along the way.
#WhatisaHastag?We know. It sounds pretty crazy, but girls in the colonial age didn't have the internet or social media. Kids these days are spoiled with instant information. You can look up anything at any moment and you can show friends your brand new pictures with just the simple touch of a touch-screen. Back then, the humble hashtag symbol looked a lot different and it was used in certain bookkeeping practices as a shorthand mark denoting a number! And they spent most of their time churning butter and doing chores around the farm.It was a tough, technology-free life, which is why we're quite thankful that we live in today's society! But it's always nice to look back at the tough work that the colonial settlers had to endure to give us a little more appreciation for how far we've come!Design & DetailsThis simple Girl's Prairie Dress Costume harkens back to the days of early midwest settlers in America. The costume starts with a one-piece dress that has a blouse-style top and an attached skirt around the waist. The skirt has a blue, floral pattern all over and the top has navy blue accents around the waist, sleeves, and collar. The dress fits with a zipper in back, making it easy to change into the historical look. The dress also has decorative buttons in the front. To complete the outfit, the dress also comes with an antique, gold-colored metal cameo that pins to the neck of the dress. When your child has it on, she'll be whisked bask in time!Shutting Down the Wi-FiTell your child to put that device away, shut down the Wi-Fi, and transport her back to a simpler time! With this Kid's Prairie Girl Costume, your little one will feel like a settler from the 1800s!
Raiders from a Foreign ShoreThe longship scrapes onto the beach. Fierce warriors spill out onto the sand, racing uphill toward the smoke they see curling up from a village's many campfires. They've waited months for this, to be able to take this famed Northern tribe by surprise and win the glory of defeating them in battle...oh wait. Oh no. They're not surprised, and they're fighting back. In fact, some of the kids make the best fighters of all. Ok, it's definitely time to retreat. Product DetailsNo other Viking tribe will dare oppose you while you're wearing this exclusive Premium Viking Costume for Girls! The pullover gray faux suede tunic has green trim and gray faux fur edging, as well as a faux fur and faux leather belt that loops around your middle. The short hooded cape can be attached to the tunic. The matching jersey pants have a comfy elastic waistband and look great tucked into the faux leather boot covers with their faux fur trim and lace-up details. Rough and Tough Northern Hero Where's your battleaxe? It's time to win glory in battle and ensure your place in Valhalla, that reward of all noble victors! And in between, when you're not conquering everything in sight, you can go on long quests across the sea to find cool new islands and distant shores. It's a pretty good gig, but you do have to get used to eating a lot of dried meat. We've heard that ketchup is key.
It's been said that love is a battlefield. But to some people, those words might sound a little out of order. The valkyrie who must have inspired this Women's Viking Vixen Costume, for example, would probably say a battlefield is love, or whatever was closest in Old Norse. And people like us, who enjoy mixing things up, might assert that field is a love battle—though we can't claim to know what that means!That's okay, because there's almost as much difference of opinion about the historical Vikings as there is about love and war. Were they rabid marauders? Adventurous seafarers? Master merchants? Opera enthusiasts? Did the real Vikings even wear horns on their helmets? There aren't a lot of easy answers, even if you're an archaeologist. That's why we stick to Halloween costumes: because when we see a shieldmaiden outfit with great faux leather details and a majestic fur-lined cape in powder blue, we know exactly what to think and feel. It's awesome! And we didn't even need a PhD!When you're wearing this strapping armor, you get to decide whether being a Viking means raiding and pillaging, knocking a few heads together, or just shattering wine glasses in a hail of high notes. As soon as you get your hands on one of these costumes, your fate becomes your own—though we'd also be happy to set you up with a couple of battle-ready accessories. Then you'll be totally free to cut loose and go berserk!
Ren-Faire Wardrobe"Oh, Fair Maiden, would thou do'ith thy honor of accompanying thee to yonder tavern for a flagon of ale and a veritable bounty of nachos?"If that sounds like the perfect way for someone to ask you on a date (and if you understood what it meant), then the Renaissance Faire is definitely your kind of festival! The best way to experience a Ren Faire is to show up wearing historical costumes, and when you're donning this elegant Plus Size Renaissance Lady Costume, all the knights and lords will be scrambling to take you out!There are so many classic renaissance styles to enjoy while at the fest, like a salty tavern woman, or a humble peasant, or even an elaborate baroness outfit, if you're feeling extra luxurious. What makes this lovely gown the best look of all is that you can be whatever type of lady you'd like in it! You can be a well-to-do maiden in this royal-looking dress, but if trouble arises, you can take up a sword and fight to defend your honor. You could even stop by the tavern and enjoy a couple of rounds with the other festival-goers, and your fancy style would fit right in!Product DetailsThis lovely purple velvet and gold lace gown gives you a regal look that goes well with any accessories you choose. Whether you add an elegant tiara and slippers, or a fierce sword and boots, any way you want to enjoy the faire will be a memorable experience! And, if you do happen to accompany a lordly gentleman to the tavern, make sure he doesn't try to stick you with "thy check"...
Honest Abe"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." Of course, that is a wise quote from "honest Abe" himself. Become the respectable man who ended the American Civil War and restored our Union with this Adult Abe Lincoln Costume! While we can't provide the height of the beloved president (he was six foot four inches!), this costume will give you the classic look with a stovepipe hat, long jacket, and shirt front. Whether for Halloween or Presidents' Day, this Abe Lincoln costume will give you the nineteenth-century look you've been waiting for.
