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!

Ras to Ruins"Oh great Pharaoh, thy cartouche shall live through the ages and immortalize thy name among the peoples of Egypt for all time. O thou great Pharaoh, God-King, Ra as man, whose influence brings the Nile's nourishing floods anew each year, whose will is law, by whose word we live and die, amidst whose glory we are blessed to spend each day, and to whom we give all supplication and due honor. If it is found by thy will suitable, if perchance thine immaculate spirit should acquiesce, if indeed it were possible and if thou has the time, wouldst thou come to mine Halloween party? That would be dope."While that’s not the weirdest invite we’ve ever seen, we are still surprised that your host decided your costume for you. Still, you’ve come to the right place! Here you go, Pharaoh, your costume awaits!Product DetailsThis Adult Egyptian Tunic Costume is fitting for the main god of 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.Oddly Shaped TombsGiant squares? Nahh. How about intricately carved likenesses of each individual? Boring. You’ve been through all the shapes, and the time to decide is now, while you're 30. That’ll give your builders enough time to put the finishing touches on your tomb before you die in 30 more years. But what shape is best? As you stab yourself in roof of your mouth with a tortilla chip, it comes to you in a flash! A giant triangle! Perfection.
Dauphin DudsMany know Louis the 16th as one of the most famous of the French kings. In fact, he was the last king of France! The details around the end of his monarchy aren't particularly fun to recall but many forget that it started at a pretty young age. He was never expected to become the king since he was the second born. That let him focus on learning everything from Latin to astronomy. But to everyone's surprise, fate set him on the road to becoming the king when he was only eleven! That meant it was time to really freshen up his style and get his noble brow ready for the crown. Design & Details If you've got a little prince of your own who is destined for glory, this Louis XVI costume for kids is just the thing to get them ready. This is a Made By Us ensemble put together by our own court of in-house designers. The costume begins with a light jacket with golden trim and capris pants with an elastic waist. The gold vest has rich-looking faux buttons and the jabot is made of puffy chiffon that fastens with hook and loops around the neck. That's really all you'll need for your kiddo to feel kingly, but you can add a pomp wig or royal accessories to make any monarch magnificent!
John F. Kennedy was the first United States President to boast of a popular image akin to a Rolling Stone. With his wife Jackie, he presided over an era that is now remembered fondly by Boomers, Gen X-ers, and (through history books) Millennials alike! If you want to recall those optimistic days—and imbue yourself with the unbridled confidence of a man who caught the affection of Marilyn Monroe while leading the free world—then you should probably wear this Deluxe Kennedy Adult Mask. Then have the lady in your life walk arm and arm as Jackie! Or, if you two would rather cultivate an edgy dual-persona, have her apply that signature beauty mark and instead dress as Miss Monroe. Added bonus: behind JFK's big smile no one will see your smirk as all the partygoer's jaws drop.
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.
Once upon there was a Gladiator. He had all the armor and the muscles in the world. Women would melt upon meeting him. He was a real catch, a warrior who everyone thought was so strong. Well, the truth was he lost all his weapons. This had become a problem for him for a while. It's hard to find a high quality ax while traveling around. Good thing he was just a Halloween Gladiator and had access to the internet. He found not only his costume online, but also a cool Gladiator Axe. Good for not only his Halloween costume, but awesome for LARPing too! The Axe handle is 25 inches long, and the blade is 11 inches by 14 inches. The molded plastic is made to look just like wood and metal.
Look, man…we’ve all been through our share of break-ups, alright? And we’ve all done the thing where we’ve started dating someone and things were going pretty okay in the beginning, but then it got really serious really fast and we kind of wanted to get out of there, but we didn’t really know how to do it, so we kind of just let it keep going for way longer than we should have, and then by the end we were so done with that person and the relationship that we were pretty sucky in the way we dumped them.It’s happens! Luckily for us, we’ve learned from the error of our ways and now we’re pretty good about doing the “Hey, we had a great time, but this just isn’t working out for us” talk face-to-face (even though it would be SO MUCH EASIER to just do it over text or ghost out), But you, friend, kind of need to take a good, hard look in the mirror and figure out if the way you’re ending things with your former flames isn’t just a lil’ severe. What we mean is…is it really necessary to behead every lady you no longer want around? It feels pretty drastic to sentence a woman to death just because she said something she didn’t like or you decided you liked someone else better, don’t you think?And we get it - you’re the king, and you can do whatever you want, and you always look fantastic in this Plus Size King Henry VIII Costume, so it’s not like you’re wanting for female attention. And yeah, so maybe you don’t have to go the extra mile to cut things off (oh geez…pun alert!) in a nice and delicate way, but…dude, you’re starting to get a reputation. And it’s not a good one. So just..think about it, okay? Like, divorce exists!

LITTLE SISTER GOES BIGTIMEThe myth of the Gorgons goes largely unknown by many, despite the fact that just about everyone has heard of Medusa. Did you know that Medusa is just one sister among a trio? She's the youngest gal of the three serpent-haired and cursed aquatic sisters who could turn mortals to stone with just a gaze. While Stheno and Euryale might have been immortal, it was only Medusa that made the history books! Talk about a little sister with things to do. Unfortunately, the youngest Gorgon sister doesn't have much happiness to her tale. Cursed by Athena for no good reason, Medusa became a horrible monster that everyone feared... at least until another demigod showed up with a whole bunch of blessed divine artifacts and beheaded her! Of course, we're talking about a time of magic and mystery. And now is the time to rewrite some of that story! DESIGN & DETAILSDespite it being really tough to create a design based off a gal that is impossible to look at, our designers have worked a miracle and created this legendary look. Our exclusive Deluxe Medusa Costume is a green and scale-printed bodysuit that will give you the serpentine sway that tempts all mortals. It has the added detail of extending along your hand with a ring sleeve. The bronze halter dress drapes around your hips with a long Grecian drape between your legs. The final detail is a luxurious green faux gem brooch that matches the scales. Pick up a serpent wig or detailed bow and take your revenge on Perseus and Athena! A PETRIFYING POSEWhen you are garbed up as this glorious Gorgon, know that the striking the right pose may stiffen folks into stone. You'll want to practice this with care to make sure it doesn't happen by accident because there aren't many ways to fix the cursed power of this exclusive Medusa Costume.
In Ancient Egypt, royalty and rulership was a mandate of divinity. The pharaohs were reincarnated forms of the great sun god and ready to bring their people to an epic future of wealth untold under the guardianship of their priests who spoke with the great gods. Those who were disturbed or ruled unwisely might rise as mummies, forever tormented to wander the sands until the rightful pharaoh might come and return them to their slumber.But, the best thing about the pharaohs were that we had no specific limitations on who might be named! Those with the divine right would be raised, no matter who they were. The great queen Nefertiti ruled as the great female Pharaoh long before anyone contemplated if a woman could some day be president or chancellor! And, it wasn’t limited to just that. The great King Tutankhamen, the boy king, became one of the most famously known names in even our modern era. Even children could possess the wisdom to rule… at least for a while.And, reincarnation is still a thing, even these many years later. Channel the lost soul of King Tut by gifting your kiddo with the luxury of rule with this Child Pharaoh costume. The navy blue tunic has a printed ankh necklace and is edged in gold to both ensure a regal look while providing protection against dangerous forces. The brown interlock gathered loincloth is sewn to a sash and fastened with Hook and Loop fastener to stay in place, also featuring gold knit and mysterious Egyptian printed designs. The iconic headdress of the Pharaoh fastens with Hook and Loop fastener and falls over the shoulders like a regal crown. And, just in case you’re worried that your tyke might let the power get out of hand, the Pharaoh costume comes in multiple sizes so you can all rule as a dynastic family!
Pride & PeppinessJane Austen knew how to write a character. Everyone in her books was memorable. They all could turn a phrase to lift the reader or make the reader broil in anger for the sake of the heroine. She did all of this while keeping her characters (both the good and the cad) in the refined class that we all came to love. From two hundred years ago, she can still transport us to places that no longer exist. All it takes is a turn of the page and we're walking into the halls of Mr. Darcy's estate while dressed in petticoats and white gloves. Turn to a different page and we're trapped on the moors with a twisted ankle while Mr. Willoughby swoops down and saves us from our struggle. Does your daughter delight in a time of restraint and etiquette? She can pen her own romances when she's dressed in this gorgeous Jane Austen costume!Design & DetailsThis Made by Us costume has all the refined taste any Jane Austen fan would expect. The lightweight white dress has puffed sleeves and a beautifully ruffled collar. The empire waist is belted with a pink ribbon to make the skirt extra billowy when walking through the green fields of northern England. A dark blue jacket with gorgeous puffed sleeves is layered over top for when it gets cloudy but your child still wants to keep writing under the garden trellis. The whole look is topped with a bonnet to keep Jane extra elegant. One for the BooksWhether your literary kid is dressing up for a play, school event, or even Halloween, she's sure to love the elegant design of this costume. Now, all your child needs to do is learn to use a quill pen and learn to pen perfectly restrained dialogue. Shouldn't be hard, right?

The kind of person who would speak the truth at all times? Yeah? Well then, you might have what it takes to be a knight.In the time of knights and kings, when matters of state were dealt with on the battlefield not in the House of Representatives, there needed to be something to keep knights from going rogue.

You would lay down your life in honorable battle for the good of the Kingdom.Lord direct us

Antioch to the AcropolisAs time-traveling goes, zapping yourself into the ancient world of Greece or Rome would be the most enticing. Unlike most communities that existed before the 1900s, they had running water and respected the power of bathing. They had pretty advanced medical care, buildings constructed to help its residents stay cool on intense summer days, and paved roads. As long as you didn't end up in a colosseum, life would be pretty comfortable for a whole range of classes back in Rome and Greece B.C.! However, if you did happen to land your time machine smack in the middle of a colosseum fight, this is the costume that you'd want to wear when you stepped out of the machine and into the ring.

Most of the time, it is good to be the queen. But every few centuries, it doesn’t seem like anybody in the world has a tougher job! After all, there’s not much you can do to calm a public hell-bent on destroying the monarchy when ‘journalists’ keep making up stories about your extravagant personal life, or putting words in your mouth!What’s so wrong with wishing pastries upon people, anyway? To us, that seems like common courtesy, especially for someone's special day—and when you’re talking to an entire nation, it’s got to be somebody's date of birth! Maybe we’re missing some of the nuance here.Well, even your jeering public will have to admit that you look very dignified in this elegant wig. And it might not be much consolation on the way to the guillotine, but in the future you’re going to earn some major kudos for your uncompromising sense of style!
Fun Sherlock Holmes fact: The phrase "Elementary, my dear Watson" does not appear anywhere in the writings of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Holmes's creator. It is a line from the 1929 movie The Return of Sherlock Holmes, spoken by actor Clive Brook in the title role. According to anecdotes the phrase MAY have also been used earlier, by actor/playwright William Gillette in an 1899 stage production of Sherlock Holmes, but there is no written evidence of that. Interesting, no?? These are the types of things you can tell people all Halloween long... and you can also keep an eye on that Dr. Moriarty and make sure he's not doing anything weird at the party like stealing lightbulbs or thumb tacks, that sort of thing.
So you and your 300 hoplite pals are headed to The Hot Gates? Well, we don't want to spoil anything, but we can recommend that you bring along as many swords and shields as you can carry. Because there's a lady at Delphi who made it sound like your blades are going to get dull long before you run out of Persians to battle, and we doubt that Xerxes is going to let you call a time-out for some honing!A Spartan Shield and Sword combo like this is probably just the thing you're looking for. It's a tidy package that's portable and easy to store, and it won't weigh you down! At least not compared to all the other gear you'll probably be toting. Plus, that armor you're wearing is pretty revealing. For such a small army, you guys sure have some big muscles!
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!
A fiesty first lady"Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of husbands. Remember all men would be tyrants if they could."Dang! Abigail Adams didn't pull any punches, did she? Actually, this fiesty first lady made a reputation for herself as one of the most eloquent figures in the early history of the United States, and that's pretty impressive when her husband, John Adams, was known as one of the best letter writers (kind of like history's bloggers) of the period. Some historians even say Abigail was a better writer than her husband, and she didn't have half the chances at a fancy education that he did. So, you go, girl!There are plenty of role models to choose from when it comes to America's First Ladies, but we think Abigail Adams is one of the best. Not only was she a staunch supporter of women's education, she also spoke out against slavery and took a keen interest in her husband's politics. In fact, because she was so politically active, some people started referring to her as "Mrs. President"! It's no wonder that you're thinking about dressing up like her for your next costume party, and we can help!Product detailsThis exclusive Plus Size Women’s Abigail Adams Costume is sure to be a hit, whether you’re going to an inauguration or just a costume party. The red, long-sleeved pullover dress is 100 percent polyester, with a zipper down the back center for easy wear. The collar and sleeve cuffs are trimmed with lace, while there is elastic in the waist for a cinched look. Take it from us, girl: You will be the most fashionable belle at the regency ball!Good evening, Mrs. PresidentShow off your patriotic side and wow the crowd at your next costume party with this costume. We promise that if there's a vote for best costume, you'll win by a landslide!
The prehistoric bone club was only wielded by the mightiest of Neanderthals; the ones who were strong enough to hunt a menacing dinosaur with a sturdy bone structure. If you're planning on being king of the cave and have your leopard tunic already, adding the mighty bone club to your ensemble is a must.During the dawn of man only the strong survived, and the famed dinosaur club was sure to assert your dominance. Plus, the bone is picked clean. An appetite like that can only come from someone who's worked for it! But know, that great power comes with great responsibility.So, what exactly is this bone from? It kind of looks like a shin bone from a poorly drawn Apatosaurus. Or maybe a femur from an oddly-shaped sabre tooth tiger? Not sure. Wherever you want to pretend you found it, works for us.
Not So Fast, Prince John Once upon a time, jolly old England wasn't so jolly anymore. Good King Richard was off fighting the Crusades, and while he was gone, his evil brother Prince John stepped in to rule the country with a greedy hand. His idea of public reform was "Get the Sheriff of Nottingham to collect ALLLL the taxes," which had the general public feeling a little resentful, to say the least. But what he didn't count on was a vigilante hero whose main goal was to take care of the general public and have a hilariously fun time doing it. Product DetailsLook every inch the dashing outlaw in this exclusive Deluxe Robin Hood Costume for Men! The long tunic is designed to look like a sleeveless vest worn over long-sleeved, cream-colored shirt. The "vest" portion is made of brown faux suede, has decorative lacing at the chest, and a dagged hemline studded with brass-tone rivets. A short green cape (with a hood, of course!) ties at your neck. Buckle the brown faux leather belt around your waist and slip on the faux leather wrist guards before you sneak into Sherwood Forest. Merry Men Madness You have to love a folk hero who's awesome but doesn't take himself seriously. Robin Hood basically started a secret club full of his best friends, with cool uniforms and code names, and then pranked the Prince and the Sheriff's men until they were completely demoralized. Get your own band of Merry Men together to form a group costume or be the star of your own legend thanks to this amazing costume!

Is your child a historian in training? How many civil war generals can he name? Has he begged you to go to the famous civil war sites like Gettysburg and Antietam? Have you ever considered enrolling him in Civil War reenactment? There is a lot of pride in remembering the brutal Civil War of 1861-1865. The people who fought so hard to keep our country together and emancipate the enslaved population should always be remembered. Brainy kids tend to be interested in the Civil War. Anything can start a fascination with this complicated part in history. Maybe your child saw or read a version of The Red Badge of Courage. Maybe it started with a love of Abraham Lincoln and expanded from there, it happens to a lot of people. One day you're trying on a top hat and beard, learning the Gettysburg address. The next day you want to know where Gettysburg is, what happened there, and why. Once your kid has an interest, how do you support him? This costume would work great to dress up for speech as Officer James Thomas kirk if your child has a school project. The double breasted button jacket and striped pant would help your child feel in character at a civil war reenactment, either as a drummer boy or a soldier. Just choose the hat that goes with the rank your child wants to assume. Maybe your kid has visions of a dignified Halloween costume or a special outfit for the 4th of July parade planned. Whatever this uniform is for, your history enthusiast is sure to make our boys in blue proud.
Legendary Pest ControlGot monsters in your neighborhood and don't know what to do? Fear no more, Hercules has it covered! This hero takes down Nemean lions in a matter of minutes. Is a nine-headed Hydra mucking up your city's sewer system? Hercules knows what to do. From multi-headed hounds to ferocious riddle-loving felines, this home-town hero has got you covered! What's that? Modern monsters on your hands? We're sure our hero can smooth out your community. All for the low, low price of your admiration and adoration. And really, who could turn this charmer down? He'll head to Hades and back just for a great review. So next time there are fire-belching wolves roaming your streets or dog-sized scorpions scaling your walls, give this hero a call and they'll have nowhere to run. Thanks, Hercules!Product DetailsWe're happy to welcome Hercules into our modern era with this officially licensed Disney costume. Straight out of the hit cartoon, this costume is simple to throw on so that you'll be ready to take down any cruel creatures that come your way! The tunic is belted with a lighting motif in the middle to show off this demi-god's origins. It has a blue cape attached to the back and is finished off with faux leather gauntlets to keep you safe while fighting off the beasties. Hunk-cules HappeningsDisney's version of the epic hero Hercules is a lot more admirable than the one written about in Greek mythology. Sure, he might not always listen to his animal companions when it comes to trusting that "damsel in distress". But wouldn't his Olympian dictated trials have been a little dry if it weren't for Meg's antics? And in the end, Hercules made it out on top. So this Halloween, bring Hercules back to take care of any monsters that might crop up in your neighborhood. Let's just hope he can tell the difference between a store-bought ghoul and one that's sent from the gods!
Simple SolutionYour gal told you in no uncertain terms that for Halloween, she wants her costume to take her back to simpler times. So you got her a retro 50s poodle skirt costume. "No, simpler than that!" she responded. So you brought her home a fabulous roaring 20s flapper frock! "Warmer, but I mean even simpler than that, too!" she responded.Gather up this Girl's Prairie Pioneer Costume, and your historically-minded little miss can enjoy getting back (way back!) to nature with the feel of the open trail beneath her freshly cobbled boots. Not only that, but everything about this costume screams rugged adventure, one with danger, bravery, determination, skill, and good ole' fashioned campfires, trail songs, and yes, a few rivers to ford along the way. You can dress the whole family up as a wagon-full of hopeful pioneers, or she can navigate the neighborhood on her own this Halloween, hunting for the best sustenance (read: candy) while you all tend the fire and oxen back at camp. Here's hoping she collects enough to keep you all going until you make it to the next trading post!Design & DetailsJust look at the detail on this Girl's Pioneer Costume—they just don't make 'em like this anymore. Except...we do! We did! The exclusive dress features long sleeves to keep the night chill off her, as well as a long, muted calico skirt with a ruffled hem. There is a rose-colored bow at the collar and a ruffle down the center of the bodice. A simple apron makes this look appropriately utilitarian, while the calico bonnet will keep her braids in place even during the windiest of travel days.Little TrailblazerThis costume makes for a unique appearance on Halloween, but your girl has always blazed her own path! Her grit, determination, and optimism would have been a perfect fit for the pioneering days—maybe that's why she can't wait to relive them!
Prospecting may sound like a hard life, but it’s actually the best existence you could ever imagine. First of all, you get to be all by yourself every day. No crabby drones from HR leaning over your shoulder, no having to sign Jenny’s birthday card, no mandatory productivity meetings. It’s just you, your pickaxe, and the buzzards circling around you in the sky. You get unlimited access to heavy explosives, firearms, whiskey, and beef jerky, so you’ll never be bored. And whatever you’re prospecting for, whether it’s oil, gold, or whatever else it is that people prospect for, is going to make you a millionaire if you ever find it.Also, no more long hours stewing in an uncomfortable car just to get to work. When you prospect, at the end of every day you build a campfire, eat beans, pitch a tent, get your seven hours, and when you wake up you’re already right next to the hole you’ve been digging alone for seven months. Doesn’t that just sound like a little slice of heaven?Our Prospector Costume comes with the rugged shirt, hat, and bandana you need to really look like you haven’t seen another soul for years (not counting coyotes). Match this up with a grizzly beard, fake dynamite, and any other number of Western-themed accessories and everyone you meet will feel like they’re the ones who struck gold -- just by running into you!
To the Tavern!Back in a more civilized era of bar-hopping... when bars weren't called "bars" but taverns and inns, and they were filled with the sounds of mirthful merry-making and slurred folk songs as opposed to deafening EDM beats... men dressed just like this fine fellow you see above.

The doublet has the classic "laced up the front" look without all the bother and hassle, and the pants have an elastic waist that assures you won't have to worry about wardrobe while you're out carousing.

Deer in Headlights Have you ever seen someone so incredibly attractive that you just felt... frozen? You couldn't move, you almost couldn't blink, and you definitely couldn't manage to stutter that perfect pickup line that you'd practiced a hundred and twenty-seven times in private. That might have been a little like what heroes felt when facing Medusa. She's just so gorgeous that it was almost scary - and the snake hair was literally terrifying, so between the those two attributes, even the most intrepid adventurer was toast. And Medusa had one more statue to add to her collection! Product DetailsYour beauty will reach mythical proportions when you wear this exclusive Stunning Medusa Costume for Women! The deep green pullover minidress is made of comfortable polyester jersey knit and features an incredibly flattering plunging V neckline. The butterfly sleeves are edged in metallic gold ribbon. Decorative metallic green mesh drapes from each shoulder and is anchored by a faux snakeskin epaulet. A metallic gold geometric border rings the skirt's hemline. Fasten the metallic gold snakeskin belt around your waist and crown yourself with the snake-detailed headband! And the Champion Is...The Ancient Greek poets wrote a lot about how awesome heroes like Hercules, Jason, and Achilles were, but how awesome could they really have been compared with Medusa? Sure, they knew how to sling spears and fire bows, but could they turn an enemy to stone with just a single glance? Of course not. Could they turn into a winged horse? Um, no. Medusa wins every time.
Oh, whey oh, when it is time to slide your feet up the street and strike some fantastic poses on the streets of Cairo or the slave pens of the Huts, everyone knows that you need to be living in perfect style or things could go wrong very quickly. Ask any successful old world gal and they can tell you that the first missed step on the road to success will lead you tumbling down to disaster, whether it is Cleopatra’s hidden serpent, the unexpected burning love of Aphrodite, or Leia’s capture and soon-to-be chained up servitude. What could have turned all those steps right, they all have to wonder!But, the answer is clear and bright as gleaming gold. If anyone is going to walk like an Egyptian, they need to do it in the right shoes! These Women’s Egyptian Sandals are the perfect accessory for all manner of guises, whether you’re the Queen of the Nile, an ancient goddess of Olympus, or even if you need to get the right footing to take down a slovenly monster crime boss in a galaxy far away. The synthetic material is anti-slip—very important for when you are dealing with slug-men—and feature adjustable buckles, gorgeous looking braided straps, and an open toe. You’ll be dancing like an Egyptian in these splendid sandals, oh, whey oh!
Be a GeniusBy age 20, Leonardo da Vinci earned the label “genius” and “master,” among others, from his peers in Guild of Saint Luke. After his death, he was exalted: “He towered above all other artists through the strength and the nobility of his talents.” In slight contrast, by age 20, we felt like a genius the first time we soft-boiled an egg in our ramen noodles. But our self-pity is neither here nor there. Geniuses are cut from a different cloth. Are you good at art? Do you have sketchbooks full of doodles and ideas and as-yet-unanswered questions? Maybe you have one of those similarly magnificent minds! The polymath of your generation, perhaps you’ll dethrone da Vinci as world’s greatest painter, or open a new frontier in cartography or paleontology. Or electric vehicles! We bet old Leo would be fascinated by green energy ourselves.Design & DetailsLucky for you, we don’t cut from the same cloth around here either. Our Leonard da Vinci Costume for Men is a Made by Us exclusive, so you know care went into every single stitch. Replete with a long-sleeved pullover tunic, velvet robe, faux-leather belt, and velvet hat, this exclusive costume will get you that much closer to fulfilling your potential. Just make sure you snag a wig and beard to properly accessorize if you aren’t gifted with all that hair to begin with. With all this and a curious worldview, you’ll be ready to bring the renaissance to the 21st century! What’s gonna be your shtick? Our money is on emission-free vehicles. Yes… they will run solely on, erm, rainwater, and positive thoughts. Okay, never mind. We’ll leave the genius work to you.
The World Thanks YouCan we just have a moment to fangirl? You were so ahead of your time! While your companions were sipping tea and going for afternoon strolls, you were capturing life as you saw it with all of its humor and quirks, and still thoroughly enjoying your own life. Consider the letter you wrote to your sister when, wanting to spare her feelings, you told her, "I will not say that your mulberry trees are dead, but I'm afraid they are not alive." Classic. And speaking of classic, let's all take another minute to appreciate some of the finest characters in history who owe their existence to you: spunky Elizabeth Bennet and hunky Mr. Darcy. People have been hardcore shipping those two before shipping was even a term! Product Details No need to wonder who to dress as this Halloween: the answer is as obvious as the fact that no one, and we mean no one, should ever marry Mr. Collins. This exclusively designed Plus Size Jane Austen Literary Costume features a white empire-style gown with a flattering pink ribbon belt that fastens just under the bust. A lovely blue cropped jacket is both attractive and authentic to the time when our favorite author was born. Slip on the matching bonnet and you're ready to take a stroll in the spinney with a handsome (if ineligible) suitor! What a Queen Of English Literature, that is! There's a reason Austen's books are still so beloved more than 200 years after their publication. Make sure you bring a notebook along to your next party: This outfit might inspire you to write a bestseller of your own!
Are you trying to rule a kingdom without a goblet? For shame. You, sir, are just asking for an uprising from the peasants you lord over. You could try to rule your people without one, but we don't recommend it. Everyone knows that the key to being a successful king is having a really extravagant cup to drink from!
It need not be the largest goblet in all the land (no one is impressed by a drunk) but it must, surely, be the most exquisite chalice in all the kingdom. Drink ware that says, for one's lips to taste the finest of wines from this glorious goblet, one must be born into royalty. Well, your highness, you are in luck because we have the perfect kingly cup for you to show your rank above anyone that should enter your kingdom. So, quickly, before your underlings begin to question your position of power and start a rebellion, keep your kingdom in check with this Plastic Jeweled King Goblet!
Not All Heroes Wear CapesGive your child the chance to dress up like her favorite NASA hero, Katherine Johnson! The contributions of this American hero led to the first successful NASA spaceflight, and every journey into space since. She was one of the first Black women to work as a NASA scientist, and refused to listen to anyone who told her otherwise. Without her brilliant mind, we might still have two feet planted on the ground. Forget Superman or Wonder Woman. Katherine Johnson's the real hero.Product DetailsThis costume comes with all the pieces needed to make your kid feel like they're walking into their first day at NASA in the 1960s. It comes with a collared heathered A-line red dress, black belt, and name badge with metal lanyard (with Ms. Johnson's actual picture on the front!) It's a dress of the times while looking fresh and updated (because we all know fashion is circuitous.) Let your kid add shoes that make them feel smart and confident (whether those are power flats or a pair or Chucks!) and a necklace if they want, because a little jewelry never hurt anyone. You might even catch them carrying their math book around!The dress is polyester and pulls on over the head. A hook and loop fastener on the back of the collar makes it easy to slip on. The dress has an elastic waistband too, to add a tapered look. But the elastic won't show under the faux leather belt, which also opens and closes with hook and loop fasteners.Fly Me to the MoonYour kid will feel like they're up for any job when they don this costume. They'll want to wear it year-round--there's no better good-luck charm to wear during an important math test! It's cute enough for every day but remarkable enough to make a standout Halloween costume.
Ready for the Tourney The duty of a squire is to ensure that their knight is always prepared for anything that they need. That means securing their armor when they are setting out, shining up their horse's shoes after a long day's work, and making sure that their weapons are always at the ready. Between all of the tournaments that a knight competes in and the occasional evil knight that they have to confront, it is critical that everything is ready to go. So, let us be your squire and get you ready to claim victory!Design & DetailsThe first step is making sure that you're ready to hoist this Medieval Lance. Our Made by Us team put this together in-house from molded plastic pieces that easily fit together into a 50" toy weapon. Painted to look like aged bronze, it is a perfect fit whether you're a knight in shining armor or you'd like to take a lesson from us and squire yourself up for a Renaissance Faire! Lancing a LotMake sure that you're ready for anything by equipping a true knight's weapon. Whether you're horseback or striding down the Rennaisance grounds, this Medieval Lance is just the thing to bring your look together. (Though maybe you should avoid any genuine jousting.)
Mummy MadnessIs your mind always drifting to Egypt? We can't blame you. A millennium of history is layered in this land like a delicious chip dip with layers of spicy beans, nacho cheese, and guacamole. You never know what people are going to find next. The sands of this beautiful land are hiding all sorts of secrets from giant statues of gods to clandestine temples dedicated to long-forgotten cults. Who knows how many mummies might still be lurking under the surface of the sand, waiting for the right person to come along and enact the mummy's curse. Encourage your Egyptian connection with a classic Egyptian style wig. What better way to get someone to invite you on their next archeological dig?Product DetailsThis gorgeous black wig is a little past shoulder length.

Just take a selfie and upload it in the reviews to flaunt your Egyptian style to the world!
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!
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.Your son has just gotten the part of Benjamin Franklin in his school play. You knew they were doing a play, and you knew he was going to be trying out, but he kept telling you that he was going to get the part of James Franklin, Ben's brother. But then he got the lead. And you were proud. Then he told you that the school won't be providing the costume.That was two months ago. He has been practicing his lines. Memorizing everything he can for proper immersion into the character. He has even started talking like Franklin. "It's called method acting. Duh." That's what he said to you when you asked about the extra research. Then you remember that you need to get his costume. Now it is the 11th hour, the play is just two weeks away. You need to find that costume, and you need to find it now.Luckily for you, we have this Child Benjamin Franklin Costume. It comes with the grey twill jack that Franklin is always depicted wearing, and an attached vest, just a lighter shade of grey with decorative buttons. And when your son asks where the electric clippers are, you know that you will also need to buy the Child Benjamin Franklin Wig to ensure your son doesn't shave the top of his head, then somehow figure out a way to dye the rest of it grey. Maybe he will pick up the old adage about early to bed, early to rise. Probably not though.
Completely EffortlessYou might not think it to look at him, but a member of the Regency's most fashionable set wore a lot of hats. He was usually awesome at boxing, fencing, and other sports, could toss off a whiskey or two after dinner without getting tipsy, and knew all the ins and outs of stylish flirtation. Plus, he had to do it all while wearing some seriously fancy clothes. Can you imagine wearing a white necktie and not getting sauce all over it during dinner? Yikes. Product DetailsBe the toast of your hunting club or local ballroom when you wear this Men's Regency Gentleman Costume! The outfit includes a top that's designed to look like two separate pieces, but which slides on with ease. A velvety blue dinner jacket features a pale blue vest front decorated with gold-tone buttons, and a white shirt inset finished with a snowy cravat. The blue pants have a comfortable waistband that's perfect for playing a hand of whist or escorting a lady to her carriage.A True GentlemanImpress the ladies by being the embodiment of dashing charm! Your next soiree will be a memorable one when you're wearing this outfit. Best of all, you can look the part of a 19th century gentleman while having all the perks and conveniences of 21st century living. Who wants to wear all of this stuff and dance in packed ballrooms during the time of no air conditioning or vending machines, right? Oh, the humanity.
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!
Does not come with Big StickTeddy Roosevelt is the least presidential o all the presidents. In our opinion, that's one of his best qualities. He wasn't stuck up, in fact, he was always getting into all sorts of scrapes even after he was voted into office. He went blind in one eye after a boxing incident in the White House. Did he stop fighting in the White House after that happened? Not really, he just switched to jiu-jitsu. Teddy didn't hesitate to become the first president to travel the continental US, braving the treacherous wilderness of the wild west despite the worries of the politicians back in Washington. Actually, he took it further, while he was on the west coast on a speaking tour he snuck off with John Muir to go camping and explore the natural wonders of the Rockies and Yellowstone. This rebellious backpacking trip inspired him to make these national wonders into national parks. Also, we're pretty sure that's where he got that big stick that he mentioned in that famous quote of his. Product Details & DesignWhen we designed this Made-By-Us costume we wanted to represent the other side of US presidential history. This costume is both dignified as well as exploration ready. The suit has a khaki color and an early nineteen-hundreds cut. The brass buttons, jaunty brimmed hat, and collar embroidery add to the presidential flair while the holsters on the belt make you look rough and ready.Speaking Softly OptionalWhether you're choosing a look for Presidents Day or you want a historic look for Halloween, you'll love this dashing costume. You might find yourself longing to explore the wilderness and take on both politicians and moose with your bare hands but that's just a part of transforming into one of the wildest presidents of the US. Do like Teddy would do and take it in stride!
The Long Way Round Some kids are born explorers. You can tell when they're mere babies. These are the kids that turn over onto their bellies weeks before they're supposed to. They move on to exhibiting an alarming obsession with climbing the stairs and escaping out of doors. Then, when they're in kindergarten they might have a "why" phase, trying to learn as much as they can about the world as fast as possible. If your child is a natural explorer then you've probably found out about his natural tendencies, it's pretty hard to miss!We're sure that Columbus showed off his curious side early on in life, testing the bounds of Italian village life as soon as he was toddling around. And when he was determined to find a new trade route to India, we bet no one was surprised when the explorer stopped at nothing until he had the ships he needed to see what lands lay beyond the Atlantic horizon!Details & DesignDesigned by our in-house creative team, this lush costume is perfect for school presentations, plays, as well as Halloween. The black tunic is belted at the waist. A faux-fur-trimmed coat is layered over top and has a wide cut that was fashionable in Columbus's time. The look is topped off with a hat that would look right at home at the helm of the Santa Maria. Picture PerfectDo you want your child to look like he's stepping out of the past? Finish off this costume with white knee-high socks, black shoes, and a telescope and he'll be ready to represent the man with the new voyage plan. A comfortably warm look, this is a unique choice for Halloween and an A-plus idea for your intrepid young explorer!
We've got a soft spot for the Robin Hood stories.Seriously. Nobility cast from his own castle, only to turn around and wreak havoc on the men who caused his aristocratic demise? Stealing from greedy government to give back to the over-taxed people? Hanging out around a bonfire in the woods with a bunch of guys who are so good-natured they're called "merry?" Sounds awesome to us. Then you get to throw in the whole damsel, evil sheriff, and bow-expert nonsense, and you've got one epic story.Epic enough that we've spent hours around the break room discussing who would be Maid Marion, Robin, Friar Tuck, and Little John (Bob over there is a shoe-in for Maid Marion). We've talked about company outings to go learn how to shoot a bow. We've discussed camping in the woods (though none of us have ever committed... we're not big campers). Regardless, you get the idea; we're fans. We're big enough fans that we want you to be a fan with us! Heck, you could even be Robin Hood if you wanted! We'd recommend coming in costume though (everything is better in costume). For instance, this Robin Hood Costume here. It's got a green crushed velvet tunic with a suede dagged hem. There's a faux suede cowl, a faux suede bracer, a belt, and even a pair of boot covers. Just get yourself a good pair of pants (or tights!) and a bow and you'll look perfect for robbing from the rich! Just one question: can we be your merry men?
Who is George?George Washington, the famous founding father. The very first President of the United States. That handsome face on the front of the one dollar bill. You probably remember him from your history classes. You probably know the story about him chopping down a cherry tree and then truthfully admitting it to his father. That story might be more fiction than fact, but it’s certainly stuck in your head all of these years. Of course, your kid probably knows him more as the cool-guy-from-the-famous-Broadway-musical-about-Alexander-Hamilton.Well, whether your child is a U.S. history buff, a fan of Broadway musicals, or he just needs an authentic looking outfit for his next school play, then this George Washington costume for kids is definitely the way to go.Design & DetailsThis historical costume comes with everything your child needs to look like the one and only George Washington! The vest is a light gold color with branch and leaf designs. It also has shiny gold-tone buttons befitting a commander-in-chief. The jacket has matching gold designs along the edge of the coat. It also has gold epaulets on the shoulders, adding the commanding presence of this outfit. The pants are a light tan color with an elastic band in the waist for fitting. The ascot adds a dash of elegance and the colonial style hat polishes off the whole look. The final piece to the costume is the pair of boot covers, which fit over your child’s feet, so he can wear any pair of shoes he likes with this outfit!Take to the StageTurn your child into the spitting image of America’s most prominent historical figure with this George Washington costume. He’ll be ready to take to the stage to teach the world about U.S. history… perhaps with a little song and dance!
