Fourscore and seven years ago…Well, it’s been a little longer than that since Abraham Lincoln was president, but he’s still one of the most famous commanders-in-chief in our country’s history. Name a more famous president. Maybe George Washington, but that’s about it, and that’s not really fair, since he was the first president, and all. He got a lot of publicity for that. But Abraham Lincoln is definitely one of the best-known guys, and not just because he’s got his face carved onto the side of a giant mountain!But Abraham Lincoln didn’t start out with an illustrious career. Did you know he actually argued a case in front of the Supreme Court and lost? He also lost five separate elections during his attempts to get involved in politics. So, we guess the best thing to learn from Lincoln is to never stop trying to fulfill your dreams, no matter how long it takes!Product detailsIf you’re itching to dress up like one of America’s most beloved presidents, but you don’t want to wear wooden teeth to pull off a truly authentic George Washington, then we recommend this President Abe Lincoln Costume. The exclusive costume comes with a 100 percent polyester wool-like coat with an attached vest, which features a stylish button-down center. There’s also a satin bowtie with an elastic band to secure around your collar.Of course, an Abe Lincoln costume would be nothing without his iconic top hat, and we’ve got you covered there with a dazzlingly tall black top hat featuring a shiny satin ribbon. (The shirt and pants, though, aren’t included, so make sure you don’t forget to add some before stepping out on the town!)Hail to the chief!Whether you’re heading to a historical reenactment or just a Halloween party, this costume is the perfect presidential choice!

We'd all love our kids to become a noble person, but what's the best way to start our sons, for instance on the path to becoming as such? He should be a noble boy, first, of course! being noble is tough work... he's got to be nice to his sister, always respect his parents, and getting straight A's is a must. But we think he can do it, especially if he's got the right look, and our Noble Man costume for kids is just the thing. All you have to do next is give him a copy of the Complete Works of William Shakespeare and he can inspire a whole new generation with his amazing, poetic skills. Who knew you'd raise the next Bard! Halloweencostumes.com knew, that's who.
A Little Home on the Open PlainsLife for early settlers could be challenging. Sometimes, they lived in sod houses that literally started out as holes in the ground! They had dirt for floors and dirt for ceilings, and there was no indoor plumbing. They had to grow and hunt almost all of their own food, and they could get snowed in during blizzards for weeks at a time. (Talk about going stir crazy!) Farming was even more difficult 150 years ago than it is today, since they didn't have tractors or other modern machinery. And it could take hours to get to the nearest town, since they didn't have cars and had to rely on cranky mules or horses.But there was still some fun despite all the hard work. Settler kids got to play exciting games like "Who Has the Button?", where one kid would guess which other kid in the group had a button, and "Cat's Cradle," where they used string to make shapes. Okay, maybe those aren't the most exciting games... But they also got to wear really cute pioneer dresses!Product DetailsWhether she's out on the prairie, on the banks of Plum Creek, in the Big Woods or on the shores of Silver Lake, your little settler will feel right at home in this Girl's Red Frontier Settler Costume.

The costume comes with a brown checkered bonnet that has a stiffened brim, elastic at the back and same-fabric chin ties.A Pretty PioneerWith this Girl's Red Frontier Settler Costume, your little pioneer will be ready to rule her one-room school house and always take first place at every game involving a piece of string!

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!
Ready for Anything The life of a gladiator is the definition of "rough and rugged." You never know what today's fight will bring you.

The king calls, and you answer. It's a simple proposition, really. He's the new king, and he's moving to the capital where most, if not all, of his enemies live. So he needs the bestest, bravest, and burliest knights in all of the land to stand by his side. He's appointing a special unit of body guards, you see.

A Renaissance knight such as yourself will have no trouble guarding the king, well, provided for one very important thing. You've gotta have the right threads. And the right kind of armor!

Hitch your wagons!Did you grow up reading the “Little House on the Prairie” books and dreaming about living in your very own sod house? Maybe you wistfully imagined milking cows before dawn and churning cream for 20 minutes straight to make your own butter. Maybe you longed to have the chance to spend the whole day doing laundry at the nearby river, or live in an underground home with a dirt floor and plenty of critters crawling underfoot.Or maybe your dreams ranged farther west, toward that great American journey: the Oregon Trail. Do you bitterly regret missing the romance of walking fifteen miles a day alongside your covered wagon, rubbing axle grease on your lips to prevent blisters and taking Epsom salts to try to cure your excruciating dysentery? Do you feel like nothing in modern day can compare to the thrill of collecting buffalo chips for the evening fire? Do you long for a daily food menu that’s primarily cornmeal and lard?

The floor-length brown skirt also has a zipper in the back for the same reason.Westward, ho!With this costume, all you’ll need is a covered wagon, six oxen and about 50 pounds of lard, and you’ll be all set for your very own Oregon Trail adventure!
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!
What is a girl’s best friend, asks a number of songs? Well, the quick answer tends to be the shimmer and glimmer of diamonds. They represent beauty, internal brilliance, and the sort of longevity and lasting power that falls right within the idea of eternity. But, ultimately, they are only gemstones. Diamonds might be pretty impressive, but they lack the real vivid color and life that hits what a gal really needs. How can they possibly compare when put toe-to-toe with the idea of the ultimate authority of divine mandated rule!?That’s the question posed to the most famously beautiful ruler of all time, Cleopatra. And what is the biggest problem with leading a massive country full of people just drooling over your magnanimous power? Well, looking amazing certainly isn’t the problem. If anything, such power and beauty only brings about the constant threat of betrayal and almost certain early death by assassination—often including truly unusual ways of bringing it about. We admit that dealing with murder plots isn’t a great aspect of the job description, but it at least makes for an eternal story for your subjects and enthusiasts hundreds of years later.So, it is now time to step up and claim your throne and make both Antony and Caesar roil with jealousy. Do so with this Nile Queen Cleopatra costume. This lovely black, polyester sheath dress is form fitting and has astounding contrast thanks to its aqua edging, gold and aqua armbands with long draping cloth that sings of the Nile, itself, and a sequined headband with lovely dangling beads and a bright faux gemstone in its center. The golden knit apron belt has a mystical scarab design in the same aqua tone that completes the balanced look. Complete your whole ensemble with a cobra staff or jeweled rings. (… Or an antidote phial, just in case some of your ‘allies’ bring in some serpents of their own!)
Doin' it Slick Willie style means having a silver tongue and a memory that conveniently forgets what the word "is" means. It also means busting out wicked saxophone solos whenever you feel like it. You see, basically you can do whatever you want when you get to the highest office in the land, and if you can make it there with your sax and a slick pair of shades on, all the better!This detailed latex mask looks just like ol' Bill, and whether you want to relive some prime 90s nostalgia or if you're just fired up to become the first First Gentleman while your wife gets to take the oath of office and take care of all the nitty gritty work, then this mask is for you. Just imagine all the hanging out you're going to get to do when you get Bill back to the White House. We wonder if they still have all his party shirts tucked away in a closet somewhere in there...

Ancient HeroesWhen we think of heroes, a number of names come rushing to the mind, but only a few of them have been spoken of in as many incarnations as the mighty half-god of Greek mythology, Hercules! Whether he’s an animated youngster eager to prove himself to his fuzzy mentor or a long-haired and suave friend-to-all on a legendary adventure, the guy has it all! Strength, a winning smile, notorious combat proficiencies, and… did we mention half-god? Hard to compete with that one!Sure, several of the ancient tales of Hercules don’t have the best of beginnings… or endings, honestly, but you have to give credit to a guy who can keep his chin up despite having a rather grumpy step-mother and uncle full of underworld angst. Between tackling ferocious monsters birthed from Echidna and winning the heart of a few Grecian lasses, Hercules has countless tales to be told.Product DetailsThis year, the stories can continue when you don your kiddo in this Child Hercules Costume. A comfortable white pullover tunic starts the look and you can armor your child up, next, with the foam body armor and attached cape. You won’t have to spend all day gearing your kid up, either, thanks to an easy fabric tie in the back of the armor. (Now, why didn’t the ancient Greeks think of that!?) Warrior-like armbands and leg guards close with Hook and Loop fastener and ensure that your child will be protected from all manner of monsters, but it might be a good idea to pick up a nice sword and lion-emblazoned shield just to make the beasties think twice about trying your demigod! The only question that remains is to figure out which of the kiddo’s parents is the god!
Fierce and FreeThere's no way anyone wearing a beard this red and curly is going to get pushed around. It doesn't matter what character you're going for. Putting together a Viking costume?

The kind of beard who sees a 100-foot wall and wants to climb it just to see what's on the other side. So no matter who you're dressing up as, you can be sure this fiery beard will lend you a fierce nature. You can go back to being polite once you take it off.Details & DesignThis gorgeous Made by Us red beard will make you look like you've been living out in the wilderness. The faux hair has been designed to make your hairs nice and scraggly. The beard straps to the back of your head with a strap of elastic so it'll stay in place even if you're in the midst of a big ol' battle!
BALDUR IS BACK!The most beloved of all the Norse deities wasn't Thor. He was pretty darned close, but nobody could hold a candle to Baldur. That's probably because the guy was so awesome that he literally glowed with huggable light. Seriously, he was so popular that his doting mother had no trouble asking just about everything in the cosmos to just be super nice to him. We're talking dogs, cats, sharks. Heck, even fire was like, "That kiddo is awesome!" Of course, Loki is a mischief-maker and never could leave anything alone. But, the bad guys never win by the end of the story, so we're pleased to announce that everyone's favorite Viking is back to make the whole world smile. Turns out that your kiddo is every bit as special as you think he is and it is time to share the smile you have with the rest of existence. You can do that pretty easily by letting your little darling gear up in this Adorable Viking costume! DESIGN & DETAILSThe whole team threw in for this one to make sure that this look would have the highest quality materials and craftsmanship. You'll have a gray minky hat styled after a horned helmet. The orange sherpa beard is attached to give your kiddo a soft but rugged beard. This shirt and pants are made of dark brown sherpa fabric to ensure warmth and comfort. The vest, which is attached to the shirt, is made of a light brown faux fur. Gotta keep your little Baldur-babe huggable! THE MOST HUGGABLE VIKINGVikings might not usually be described as sweet and cuddly, but that all changes when you combine your kiddo and this snuggly Viking look. We're pretty sure that your kiddo is cute enough all on his own, but a ferocious Viking roar combined with minky and sherpa fabric never hurt the process!
A Bee in her BonnetDoes your little one have a case of prairie brain? It's nothing to worry about. Actually, it's a good thing! She's daydreaming about blue skies, endless horizons, and yes, there's probably a pony of her own somewhere in that daydream. And really, who could blame her? Who doesn't crave wide open spaces every once in a while? Why not let your child get in touch with her inner pioneer to make her feel like she's heading west?Once she's wearing a bonnet and bloomers she can pretend to be on the range in no time. She can pretend to sing with meadowlarks and ride her pony over the rolling hills that are covered in green grass and bright daisies. While it's going to be a lot of fun for her to play pretend in this dress, it's also sure to create some perfectly picturesque moments. Your child might be twirling in a field of flowers in your city limits but we're sure you'll be able to take a picture that looks like it's straight out of the great westward migration!Product DetailsThis pretty pink pioneer dress looks like it's straight out of the history books. The checkered dress has a peter pan style collar and a bow with a pinafore style apron attached. A ruffle of lace accents the sleeves, matching the bloomers the peep out from under the hem. A ruffled cap tops off this look, making your child feel ready to get into character!A Basket full of PosiesAre you ready to see your child embrace their love of history? With just the right amount of ruffle, your kiddo can still run and play. This costume is great for historic occasions like the Victorian Faire or Rendezvous, as well as plays, photo shoots, and even regular playtime.

Pretty and PracticalSteampunk is one of those styles that is hard to define but easy to identify. It’s an interesting and beautiful idea of what the world could have been like or what it might be like someday. One of our favorite things about the steampunk genre is how it blends the practical with the pretty. Not only do those cogs on your goggles help them adjust to your head, but they also look awesome! Brass, which is often the metal of choice in steampunk creations, is certainly shiny and pleasant to look at, but it’s also significantly antimicrobial.Product DetailsIf the rest of your steampunk outfit can be useful while looking good, why can’t your boots be the same? These Women’s Steampunk Boots are the perfect thing to pair with your dress or suit! High heels have their time and place, but when you need reliable, non-slip footwear, boots are the shoes to choose from. They have two colors of faux leather to match either a brown or black scheme, and three functional pockets for all your bits and baubles. You’ll love to wear this practical (in more ways than one) pair of boots on all your adventures!
...grey-eyed Athena slowed the night when night was most profound... - Homer, The OdysseyMost little girls want to be a princess. They want to be rescued by a handsome prince. They want the fairy tale. But that is all it is, a fairy tale. What they really want is a pretty dress, and a story with dragons, and heroic saviors.Now, don't get us wrong. We would take a pretty dress, and a story with dragons everyday of the week. That would be awesome. But sometimes we want a little more. So does your daughter. She doesn’t just want to be a pretty face. She wants to be a Goddess. A wise, and powerful goddess that doesn’t have to rely on anyone to save her. She wants to be intelligent, and strong. (That doesn't mean she can't also have a pretty dress at the same time.)She can be everything she wants to be. She is already brave, and smart. She fights for what she believes in. Now all she needs is this Child Athena Goddess Costume. It will make her feel like the goddess you already know she is. Yes, it will be a pretty dress, but she will also embody Athena, the Goddess of wisdom. The kind of goddess who doesn’t need a man to save her, because she is also the goddess of war. She might not have stories with dragons, but she will have stories where she defeats Titans. It is better to be wise, and fierce, than to just have a pretty dress.
Old SchoolIs your girl old school? No, like really old school. We’re not talking neon bracelets, fanny packs, and teased hair kind of old school. We’re talking making candles, churning butter, and watching knights joust. Maybe she even uses archaic phrases like “ye olde” and “huzzah” around the house!

Tipping the scalesCats were seen as gods in Egypt. Most of us already know that little piece of info. But here's the thing. Most of us have had cats living with us. They're nice. They're adorable. But they can also cause a lot of havoc. Can you imagine what it would be like to have cats roaming around that can't be disciplined? They'd wander into the mummifying room and meow at the priests for attention. If those priests were to busy to give them a cuddle, that cat would sidle up to one of the four canopic jars, make eye contact, and slowly push it off the table, brains and all. And we can't even imagine what a mess a cat would make with the mummy wrappings. Lucky for Bastet, cats couldn't be touched. In fact, last year architects found a tomb filled with mummified cats and a fancy cat statue honoring the cat goddess.Product DetailsThis sleek costume has a flattering fit. The jumpsuit is trimmed with gold and has a golden collar. The fitted pants have a belt and a floor-length panel giving you an authoritative Egyptian air. Your cat-like features are finished off with a gold and black tail and a crown with distinctly feline ears. With a gorgeous, fitted look and golden details, you'll feel as graceful as a cat and as regal as a goddess. What else could you ask for?Egypt or BustDressing up in Egyptian garb is always a lot of fun. Why? Well, you can always take your look to the next level. Using gold, turquoise, and black makeup you can apply a classic Cleopatra eye. Dust gold sparkles over your skin and get hold of an Egyptian staff to take it a step further. And when your look is complete, don't forget to pose for your household kitty. You're sure to get a round of a-paws!
Angel of the BattlefieldLife as a soldier in the Civil War was pretty brutal. The conditions were awful. Any injury could be life-threatening and medical care was scant. With these dismal circumstances, it's no wonder that the capable Clara Barton was known as the angel of the battlefield! She would go out to distribute life-saving care, washing wounds, changing bandages, offering water and soup to the miserable soldiers in the muck and smoke. Her courage on the battlefield was famous. This led the way to make sure women could take on the role of battlefield nurse with an element of respect. After the war, Ms. Barton traveled to Switzerland, learning about all the good the European Red Cross was doing. She came home determined to open an American sector of The Red Cross. She worked with fellow famous friends such as Fredrick Douglas to make her vision a reality. Clara Barton continued to devote herself to life-saving medical outreach until she retired at the ripe old age of 83. We hope she got a chance to spend a few years with her feet up and a tropical drink in your hand!Design & DetailsThis historical Made By Us Clara Barton costume was designed by our in-house creative team. The floor-length blue poplin gown has a built-in petticoat and it zips up the back. A white apron with a red cross on the chest ties around your waist for a neat look. Matching white cuffs slip over the billowy sleeves for a battle field-ready look. Topped off with a white bonnet, this costume is ready for historical reenactments and costume parties, alike!History in MotionAre you ready to take on the iconic role of Clara Barton? Pair this with historical costumes such as civil war uniforms or characters such as Fredrick Douglas and you'll be ready to tell Clara Barton's epic tale!
You always knew your little girl was a goddess, but what would you do if you found out she was an actual, mythical being? We bet it would be quite a surprise, but once you see how divine she looks in this Greek Goddess Costume, it'll suddenly make perfect sense!Back in Ancient Greece, there was a whole host of gods and goddesses that were prayed to that represented pretty much every aspect of life. If you were a farmer, you could pray to Demeter, Goddess of agriculture, for hopes of a good harvest. Or, if you were about to go on a long expedition, you might want to pray to Artemis, Goddess of the wilderness, so that your party might have good luck while travelling through forests and hills. And then there is Athena, Goddess of wisdom and reason, who's good side you always wanted to be on, because whether you were fighting a war, or just building something, you'll probably want as much wisdom and reason as you can get!This classically inspired costume is designed to look like what a majestic goddess of Ancient Greece may have worn on Mount Olympus. The ankle length sleeveless dress and matching shoulder drapes fade from a cream color to turquoise, giving it an ethereal look. She'll look like quite a goddess once she puts on the included gold braided headband, and be sure to get her a pair of matching gold sandals to complete this mythical style!
Don't Make Eye ContactThis might sound weird, but have you ever been at a museum or in a decorated garden and felt as though the statues were... watching you? They seem lifeless and vacant, but you could have sworn you felt eyes on the back of your neck before you turned to look. Also, that statue was farther away before, wasn't it? Oh, dear. This might not be good. Product DetailsYou'll be an unsettling sight in this exclusive Scary Sullen Statue Mask for Adults! The unisex silvery mask conceals your entire head and most of your neck. It's molded to look like a blank-faced statue with carved hair. Eye holes allow you to (sort of) see where you're going. So Much Yikes Landscaping usually makes home property value go up, but we doubt that this mask would have the same effect. If you stood in someone's yard, people might assume that Medusa lives there, or that the statue uprising has finally begun. It was bound to happen someday.

Product DetailsWhen assembled, this Albert Einstein/Physicist costume will totally transform your little guy or gal into the father of relativity, and with relative ease! A signature mustache secures with self-backed adhesive and matches the white synthetic wig to achieve the character effect.Einstein Costume CoolWe love the idea of promoting discovery, science, and the incessant question of "why." With this ensemble, any child is sure to have the confidence to follow the evidence to their own conclusions, and perhaps be inspired to one day lead a lecture or to make new discoveries about theoretical constructs on their own.

Lily of the NileTwo things go into the making of a legendary ruler. One is an impressive sense of strategy. The other is an iconic style. It's pretty clear that Cleopatra had both!

Product DetailsRule over ancient Egypt while wearing your Women's Cleopatra Costume Headband Accessory! The gold braid headband fits snugly around the crown of your head with an elastic band at the back, and is embellished with bright aquamarine faux jewels. Long, dangling strands of gold-tone beads hang from spaced intervals and the forehead is embellished with a shiny metallic gold faux leather cobra.

There's no doubt that you'll also be winning at the costume game with this fun accessory!
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. Do we hop back in time and change things so that we get on the right track early and just cross our fingers that we don't drive even faster into the fallen utopia? That seems like we're begging for a time travel disaster!So, we figure that alternate dimensions are the way to go. Portals into the same time period but pulling a few quantum mechanical gizmos can't hurt nearly as bad as swapping a few moments in our past. Worst case scenario with that, we've got a dorky new friend who is a touch confused by our near-criminal lack of cogs and miffed by the lack of lever-activated machines to pour tea without having to walk over to the steamer!DESIGN & DETAILSBe our guide into this new era by stepping up into the role of a lifetime with this Steampunk Dandy costume. 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. It includes a double-breasted vest with puffy jersey sleeves and a jabot at the neck. 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?
From a Broken HomeZeus has one messed up family. His dad, Cronus, had a bunch of kids with his Titaness wife, Rhea. He was afraid that they would grow up and steal his throne, so he decided to swallow each of his children as they were born in a single gulp! Rhea was understandably pretty miffed about this, so finally, she decided to hide her next baby from Cronus. She fed that dummy a rock instead and told him it was their latest child, Zeus.An all-grown-up Zeus, who was now reasonably angry that his dad ate his brothers, decided to do something about it. Zeus gave Cronus a good wallop, forcing him to spit out his brothers and sisters. Then, he went to war with his ol’ dad and took the throne from him, becoming the King of the Gods. Of course, you don’t need to know all of that when you wear this Zeus costume for men!Design & DetailsThis plus size Zeus costume turns you into the mighty Greek god from myths. The costume comes with a white tunic that has gold patterning along the bottom, along with a matching belt. The drape has a shimmering golden appeal to it and can be tucked into the belt for a classic Grecian look. A pair of golden gauntlets fit on each arm, providing a regal and powerful style. Finally, the crown asserts your role as king! All of the other Greek gods and goddesses will instantly recognize you as their leader when you wear it.Zeus, the God of a Great StoryJust suit up in this exclusive costume and you can assume the role of Zeus. And now that you know Zeus’s backstory, you can regale everyone with the tale of how you defeated your weirdo dad and took the throne away from him once and for all!
She Knew She Could, So She Did! In every age, there has to be someone who decides to be the voice for the voiceless - who takes pride in making waves! Susan B. Anthony was a real firecracker who knew that the only way to make change happen was to start it herself. And look at her legacy: Generations of women who were encouraged to speak up and stand out thanks to her efforts. Would we have a Dorothy Day, a Nellie Bly, a Margaret Thatcher or a Ruth Bader Ginsburg without her? She was not afraid of bad press, threats, and even jail time. She knew what she and her fellow women deserved and she never rested until it was achieved. Product DetailsStand out and be heard in a costume that honors the heroine who helped get voting rights for women! This exclusive Girls Susan B. Anthony Costume is a powerful choice for Halloween, pageants, school events, historical reenactment, and more (plus, unlike Susan's original look, you don't have to wear a corset under it - comfort points!) The black polyester dress features a full, sweeping skirt that will have you looking confident as you march for your right to vote. White lace lines the cuffs of the long sleeves to complement the white ruffle down the front of the bodice. Black lace also decorates the shoulders on top of the leg o' mutton-style puffs. A decorative silver-toned pendant is sewn to the collar. "Failure Is Impossible!" Susan B. Anthony said this herself about her mission, because she knew the power of women working together! We have to agree, and take it a step farther by saying that having a so-so costume is impossible when you're wearing this outfit!
The Hundred Dollar Founding FatherBen Franklin was one pretty smart guy. He invented bifocals, edited a newspaper and got himself on the hundred dollar bill. Have you ever seen his journals? He liked to ask all the questions. How else do you wind up flying a kite with the intent of getting struck by lightning! Okay, we still think his whole "flying a kite in the middle of a thunderstorm" idea might not have been the best idea ever since that could have really turned out badly, but he's a genius, so who are we to argue? All of humanity is now in his debt. We wouldn't want to go back to living without electricity. How would we charge our phone?Of course, history is filled with amazing stories and Ben Franklin is part of many of those American history stories. That's why we like this costume so much. It's the perfect opportunity to learn about our rich history!Product DetailsThis costume makes your little history buff look just like the legendary figure that we know so well from our books and monuments. We can't guarantee that while wearing it, he'll be inventing the glass armonica like the real Benjamin Franklin, but he will look cooler than the other kids at the next American history pageant that your child is in, and we think that's just as important as the invention of the glass armonica. It's got the felt coat with attached vest and cuffs, all in drab tones that just say the 1700s. No costume from that era would be complete without a cravat, and this has one! The knicker pants go to the knees and fit easily with elastic.Ben Franklin Costume for BoysOkay, so he's going to learn all about history while wearing this classic costume, but whatever you do don't let him go out in the thunderstorm with that kite. We already have electricity. It's all good. He can just sit back and learn the glass armonica like all the other kids are doing these days (we assume).

Comeback QueenHere's the difference between princesses and queens. Princesses are given their title, queens have to fight for theirs. And as fighting for the throne goes, Cleopatra's story stands out loud and proud. In the beginning, she was pushed from the throne. Banned from her own land. Did she let that stop her? No! When Caeser was staying in an Egyptian palace, Cleopatra had her servants roll her into a carpet. Then they casually carried her into the palace (we like to imagine them whistling like they do in cartoons). As soon as they unfurled their lovely monarch in front of Caeser he fell head over heels and she made a bid for the throne. It wasn't long before she was ruling again. If that's not a power play, we don't know what is!Details & DesignWe're sure the Egyptian queen would stamp her seal of approval on this Made by Us Cleopatra costume! Our designers created this piece in a nod to the Egyptian style that was popular for the country's hot climate. The unique look features a white bodysuit under a sheer flowing gown with subtle gold stripes. The gown is accented with a stunning gold collar and belt, beaded for ultimate shimmer power. With sheer layers, sparkling gold, and a flattering cut, this costume will be a legendary ensemble at any costumed event.Ultimate Look, No De-NileCleopatra really knew how to make an entrance. She was never afraid to shine! When you're dressing as this legendary queen, take a leaf out of her book. Finish off this look with golden accessories like bangles, sandals, and makeup. Crown yourself with your favorite Cleopatra wig from our collection. When you're looking this royal, you don't even have to roll yourself in a carpet to make a stunning entrance!
You’ve heard the quotes and references, but, with Halloween around the corner, it is important to reiterate… just in case trouble is on the line and strange and exotic gatekeeping creatures demand to know: When someone asks if you are a god, what do we say!? You know the answer, so there is no need to belabor that any further. However, knowing the right answer isn’t enough. You have to be able to articulate that answer with confidence What kind of god? What powers? Over which domain do you rule?These are the big questions and the road to divinity is a very important one. Our suggestion is to go with a group of gods who have a lot of experience and still know how to have a good time with the mortals. Off to Mount Olympus, then, to learn about the proper protocol, hierarchy, and your rights and responsibilities as a Greek Goddess. Spooked? Ha, don’t worry. The Greek Gods are quite casual about everything, so long as you don’t muddle up their own machinations.With that handled, it is time to don your divine garb of the Women’s Greek Goddess costume. You’ll be right at home with Aphrodite and Athena in this glorious ombré gradient, floor-length, sleeveless dress that blends from cream to teal from top to bottom. As lovely as that is, alone, the accents are what truly make these cloths majestic. A gold braid edged V-neck and O-rings at each shoulder are matched by the gold leaf headpiece, all of which make for a clear marker of your divinity. So, the new question: Of what are you a goddess? … That one might take a bit longer, so we suggest you pick wine.
Give Me Liberty!Not all revolutionaries were guys in curly wigs and knee breeches. Some were the ones who knew that even though the war with England was over, the battle for women's rights still had to be fought. Susan B. Anthony was one of those trailblazers who knew that there would be no true liberty until women were given the same level of respect, the same opportunites for work, and the same right to join in cultural and political adventures as men. Product DetailsThis exclusive Women's Susan B. Anthony is perfect for courageous women of any generation who know how to stand up for what they believe in. The floor-length black polyester dress will look amazing whether you're sweeping down the street as part of a peaceful protest or standing in front of a podium giving a rousing speech. Black lace ruffles on the full-length sleeves add an elegant touch and complement the white ruffles on the bodice inset and wrist cuffs. A zipper down the back makes this outfit much easier to get into than the millions of buttons that were typical of that era. (You're welcome.) A metal pendant is attached to the white collar. All you need is a comfortable pair of shoes. Your fearless campaigning will have you on your feet a lot! Who Run the World? They might have lived a few generations apart, but we think that Susan and Beyonce would have gotten along great! Honor an amazing civil rights activist with an equally amazing costume.

Mistakes were MadeThe Medieval era was a time of strong fashion choices. Noble people had wild outfits! Men often wore shoes that were up to two feet long. The toes were so long that they had to be stuffed with wool and whalebone to be kept in place. Men even wore them to battle and had to cut off the tips of the toes in order to run away from the enemy. Of course, women didn't escape inconvenient fashion trends. Rich gals wore tall cone-shaped hats, making going through doorways quite tricky. Ladies who were worried about ruining their nice shoes in the mucky streets would protect them by wearing wooden stilts that slipped over their shoes. This was so difficult that they had to hire attendants to help them get from place to place. Medieval fashion trends didn't get it all right. What era did? At least now we can pick and choose what Medieval fashion trends we'd like to keep. We think this gorgeous green gown is a great place to start!Design & DetailsThis Made By Us emerald gown was created by our history-loving creative team. They work to bring pick the best fashions of the Medieval era and bring them into modern times. No need to have your servants help you into a corset. This lush velvet gown zips up the back.

Wear this gown to costume parties and festivals and you'll feel gorgeous in castles and condos alike!

There's no better way to improve our future than learning about the past.
HEIR TO THE NORTHRuling an entire realm of Vikings is... complicated. Even when you have a Seer who is telling you what is going to end up happening, well, they tend to just tell you cryptic things about when you're going to die, so it isn't exactly always helpful. That is why, sometimes, it is better to be the firstborn of the ruler, instead. It gives you plenty of time to watch your father wield his axe and all that authority. Definitely gives you something to emulate!And, best yet, it gives you a clear idea of what you need to avoid when it is your turn to take leadership over the clan. From there, you can go around and finish off the things left incomplete. You can address all those old betrayals and bring vengeance down on those who brought the end to your father's legacy. From there? Well, we recommend that you maybe move forward with less obsession about allowing your fate to happen. Make your own fate! DESIGN & DETAILSWell, we're getting ahead of ourselves. Start off your earlier life with this officially licensed Bjorn Ironside Costume from Vikings. This exclusive look was crafted by our own Made By Us costume team in partnership with History Channel. It comes with a long-sleeved tunic that has quilted padding on the lower portion of the sleeves. The vest has faux leather, metal studs, and appliqued braided trim that gives it an authentic armored look. You also get a pair of pants and a faux leather belt but, let's face it, you're here for that realistic faux armor style. And that's why we made it!THE ONGOING DESTINYRagnar might give himself fully to the fate decreed by the Seer, but Bjorn isn't afraid to stir things up. Explore all the strange lands you desire and know that you're going to inspire your own kind of tales when you get this Bjorn costume for men and wield your mighty axe!
Luxurious FameWhile Frederick Douglass certainly didn't have anything even approaching a great early life, becoming the literal face of change in a time of many wrongs is an accomplishment like no other! And, looking fantastic while moving the moment forward only helped to change the tides of history!Naturally, his tasks and words are by far the greater force of Frederick Douglass' memory, but none can deny that the wise, aged look of the African American writer, poet, orator, activist, and preacher help to keep him at the forefront of history even today.Product DetailsChannel the look of the early American boat-rocker with this Frederick Douglass Wig and Goatee set. The wig is styled as a large Afro with the perfect blend of dark, black hair and tinges of gray to give the authentic powerful but wise look that you're going for. The matching goatee somehow manages to heighten both!
