Age-Old SlangDo you ever feel like you and your kiddo speak a completely different language? You'll say something and they'll throw their heads back and reply with a mighty, "Ugh!" before stomping away. Maybe it had something to do with the 'Dad Joke' you told in front of their friends. Maybe it had something to do with restricting the use of the device that they're always attached to. And let's not forget that they've got some weirdo words that have you scratching your head, too. (What's that about yeeting you back to the stone age?) Design & Details If you need a way to get back to the basics or your tyke is filled with primal energy, this Kid's Cavegirl costume is just the thing! This is a Made By Us costume that our design team thought up after channeling their own stone-aged slang. It is a pull-over dress with faux suede to create a prehistoric look with a modern feel. Stretch knit in the back keeps the costume feeling comfy for growing kids and leopard print panels make it look like your kiddo is a true hunter while the tulle overlay still gives them some serious style. They can tie up their hair with the bone scrunchy and tie the whole look together with the shrug worn over their shoulders! For once, when the kiddo calls you a caveman, it'll be a compliment!
He's a brave knight! You always knew that he would be. (He was raised right, after all!) But now that he's come of age, you can be expecting a call from the king himself any one of these days. Because when word gets to the high castle that your boy is ready to do his part for king and country, you can expect that he's going to go into the service of knighthood in very short order. There are dragons to slay, after all! Now, he might be a bit nervous about being knighted, having some stuffy old man waving a sword around his head, but trust us, he'll be fine. At the worst maybe he loses and ear or two. A small price to pay for knighthood!This costume is sure to have him feeling like a knight who can battle the evildoers in the realm, or at the very least, slay a dragon or two! A detailed ensemble look means that he'll have the perfect style for riding his trusty steed at the jousting court, or the dashing style to strut up the dangerous mountain path to the dragon's lair. There's always the chance that dragon is in the mood to barbecue some knights though, so we always recommend he ride in the middle of the pack. Or, if he's feeling especially confident, ride at the front, next to the king! Kings usually survive that stuff, right? Well, time is a wasting! Duty calls! Don that armor and ride into battle, knight!
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!
Something for Everyone Do you love tragic romances? Strong heroines? Daring swordfights and battles, scheming villains with epic monologues, and fantastical fairy creatures? Shakespeare is the king of genre hopping from his comedies, to his histories, to his doomed love interests who tend to stab themselves before making sure that their true love is, ya know, actually dead. Product DetailsAs the Bard says, the course of true love never does run smooth - unless we're talking about the love-at-first-sight between you and this Shakespeare Book Costume Purse! (That's a direct quote from a play.) The rectangular purse is printed with a vintage cover of Shakespeare's plays complete with gorgeous lettering and illustrations. A deep inner pocket can easily hold a copy of The Merchant of Venice or another favorite. To Buy or Not to Buy Sorry, Hamlet, this one's not even a question. The answer is always to buy the purse that shows off your literary love in the cutest possible way.
AN AMERICAN SUPERHEROFolks periodically talk about superheroes that flaunt the red, white, and blue. Some of them have shields and are veritable perfect beings. Some are practically gods among men who fly around with alien superpowers or literal divine implements. All fight for justice and honor. But, long before those heroes were flying flag colors, there was another figure that rose up to inspire folks with the same honor, justice, and American way.Now, official history says that a businessman donated food to the army during the War of 1812. His uncle-like behavior and the U.S. stamps lead to Uncle Sam being the nickname of the country. Others say that the icon of the character really only became relevant in the later 1870s and early 1900s thanks to posters and political cartoons. But, we're pretty sure that these are all just parts of the secret identity. We suspect Uncle Sam can do way more than just point! DESIGN & DETAILSFascinate friends with the secret superpowers of the personification of the United States with this exclusive Uncle Sam Costume. Our own designers want you to love this high-quality look of America's favorite uncle. The full-length pants have an elastic waist and evenly spaced red and white stripes. The navy blue jacket has large lapels and coat tails as well as an off-white vest with brass buttons. The look wouldn't be complete without a large red bow tie and a white top hat with a royal blue, starred hat band. Just get that pointer finger prowess down pat and you'll be Uncle Sam! WHAT ARE YOUR POWERS?We know that Uncle Sam has the ability to inspire pride and foster community among Americans. But, what other powers does this enigmatic patriot have? Only you can discover the secrets of this fatherly figure and only with this Classic Uncle Sam Costume!
THAT 'JUST WOKE UP' LOOKIt can be pretty tough to manufacture a carefree hairstyle. You've got to wake up pretty early to get the right tease to the hair. Just enough curl and frizz but not so much that folks can see the effort that you've put into it. So, when you want to go for a look that's really early, there's even more work that's going to happen. That's especially true if you want to go authentic and only use tools that were available in the stone age. Where is that time machine!? DESIGN & DETAILSYou won't have to worry about jumping through time portals or smashing your hair with rocks when you have this Prehistoric Caveman Beard and Wig accessory. We've done all the work for you to make sure that your locks are incredibly full, curly, and tangled as all get-out. The beard matches and attaches with adhesive and an elastic band. ANCIENT BEDHEADMake sure that you look like you've been napping for a really long time with this wig and beard kit. It's perfect for your prehistoric look but also great for your frazzled wizard, bear-wrestling woods-dweller, or for when Rip Van Winkle finally decides to finish up that 100-year nap!
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.

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.

Zeus on the LooseLife is never boring when you're Zeus! Don't believe us? Well, check out this brief history of the Greek god! When he was born, his Titan father, Cronus, decided to eat him because he thought Zeus might grow up to overthrow him. Well, Rhea, Zeus' mother, didn't approve. She fed Cronus a rock (he wasn't too bright for a Titan) and he went on his merry way, thinking that he had eaten his own child. Of course, Rhea raised Zeus in secret, and he got pretty bent out of shape when he grew up... so, he ended up overthrowing Cronus. After that, Zeus decided to live life like one big party!

Back in the day, taverns weren't just cozy bars with quaint names, they were rough and tumble places! And that's why every tavern needed a fair maiden. She'd be there not only to sweep up the filth-strewn straw and collect the silver for the drinks but to add an air of civility to the atmosphere. She'd encourage people to sing a distracting ditty before two burly knights could challenge one another to a duel over who got to sit on the stool with four legs.

This is all to say, the simple tavern maiden is the Meddeival diplomat!You'll look the part when you're wearing this sassy costume.

Action HeroIn comic books, superheroes save the day quickly. There's a big "Pow" followed by a "Kurthwop" and "Yoink". But for real-life heroes, the fight lasts a lot longer than a panel. Often, the fight lasts a lifetime. For Susan B Anthony, that fight started when she attended a suffragette event with her family and the age of twenty-eight. She was instantly inspired. Soon, she was the one making speeches but that's not all. She wrote articles, organized marches, and eventually, she was arrested for defying authority and casting her ballot in an election. Some people would have assumed going to jail would stop a proper Victorian woman but Susan knew her arrest simply brought more attention to her cause. Susan B Anthony didn't let anyone or anything stop her until her death in her late eighties. If fifty-eight years of devoted social action doesn't make you an action hero, what does?Design & DetailsThe perfect way to celebrate Susan B. Anthony's cause, this suffragette costume would have looked right at place on the streets of 19th Century New York. Designed by our creative team, this dress zips up the back yet has historical details that any young history buff will delight in such as the decorative buttons up one side of the skirt and the ruffled high neckline. A purple and green banner with "Votes for Women" is draped over the bodice and a matching button is attached to the breast. A wide brim hat finishes the whole look off, making sure that your little suffragette is ready to march, no matter the weather. Girl PowerIf your child loves the women leaders of history, celebrating Susan B. Anthony is a great place to start. A great costume for school projects, Victorian fairs, and even Halloween, your child is sure to do Susan proud as she continues to fight for the rights of women around the world!

It really doesn’t matter where you look for ancient tales about some of the most famous of mythical creatures. Ultimately, the core of the tale rings pretty accurate no matter where you’re finding it. Such is the case of the mysterious Medusa. In some tales, she was a woman of such incredible beauty that she was cursed by jealous gods, turned into a monster that no mortal could handle looking upon, ultimately even meeting her own end upon seeing her horrific reflection. In others, she was a sorceress granted great magic by demons who ultimately subverted her form over several years.

Diety DramaIf there's one thing we know about the ancient gods, they love a bit of drama. Whether it was love or war, they couldn't help getting involved in mortal trouble. They blessed those that entertained them the most, watching as we humans launched ships and attacked lands simply because the most beautiful woman in the world left her husband. Knowing what we know about the gods, it's safe to say they love reality television. They no longer need to meddle in our affairs, we broadcast them for all the world to see.

Some kids like to explore.Now we don't mean poking around the backyard. No, we mean climbing trees, collecting bugs and wildlife, documenting foliage, and getting dirty. We're talking exploring in the most in-depth sense of the word. Kids that camp outside, hike through the woods, and track down critters... some kids are just outdoors kids.Which probably means they wouldn't want costumes of doctors and spacemen. No, they'll need something to suit their tastes, something like this Kids Davy Crockett Costume. Davy Crockett is a famous American frontiersman. Known for feats like defending the Alamo, the legends around this folk-hero are far more colorful. From killing a bear when he was three to killing one with only his knife as an adult, we're pretty sure Davy Crockett was like the Chuck Norris of the frontier. Seriously. His stories just keep getting bigger and more crazy. There have been plays and books about it. Go check it out.As such an epic man of the woods, he would be the perfect icon for your outdoorsy kid to dress up as. Whether for play or party, our Kids Davy Crockett Costume should do the trick. There's a flannel shirt with faux fringe, faux leather belt, a "coonskin" hat, and powder horn. Add a couple knives, hatchets, and rifles and your little one will be ready to take on whatever trouble comes bounding out of that forest.

Back then, raising babies must have been a feat of dino proportions!Now your little one is a romping, rollicking toddler, with all the joys of the age.

You know what we say — when someone is a bit unreasonable...just put a club in their hands! And that's just what this Toddler Cave Cutie Costume aims to do. Oh yeah, and it's also really, really cute. Design & DetailsDon't worry, it's not a real club.

The Original Fanny PackYou can just picture the scene: Two medieval townsfolk standing together by the side of the road. Maybe they're merchants. Maybe they're knights. Either way, one is complaining to the other, "Dude, prithee take a gander at my doublet. It doesn't have enough pockets." And the other replies, "Friend, thou must hie away to check out Robert the tanner who has some sweet belts with attached pockets!"

Nowadays when you see a three-cornered hat with a pointed front and a feather attached, the first thing that springs to mind is Robin Hood. It’s actually kind of ironic that this style of hat is associated with fiction’s greatest champion of the poor, considering that it was originally something of a symbol of high status. Known as a “bycocket” hat, it was a popular style with both royal men and women back in the day, partly because it was an easy style to decorate with jewels and other flashy touches that let the poor folks know just where you stood.Leave it to Robin Hood to not only steal his wealthy neighbors’ money and wound their pride, but also bite their style. That is some next-level socially conscious thievery right there. You can keep the rebel spirit of Robin Hood alive in this tall, pointed bycocket hat. Made with a poly/cotton blend, this jaunty number is fully adjustable and features crisscross lacing up the front and a pair of buttons at the back. It’s the perfect topper for any Robin Hood ensemble, and it’s even better if you can get yourself invited to some super swanky costume party. Your hosts will never suspect that even your headwear is mocking them.
All hail the Empress!People tell you all the time that you have a queenly beauty. You brush them off. Who wants to have queen like beauty when you can have empress like power? Beauty is nothing in comparison to power. You could have anything you want at your beck, and call if you were an empress. Besides you are already beautiful.And if you are going to be an empress, why not be a Roman empress? Rome was kind of awesome. There were lavish parties thrown by the rich. They would dine on fresh fruit, and sip the wine of their country. Often times lounging as they ate and drank their fill. They sat talking of the goings on of Rome. All the best gossip of war, hedonism, and betrayal.For a woman who already possess the beauty of a queen, we have this Roman Empress Costume so you can not only have beauty, but power as well. You will be kept fairly busy as a ruler of Rome, but maybe you can have the Senate take care of the business of state. While you lounge with your friends. Eating grapes, and drinking wine. Just be sure to keep a dagger on you at all times. Romans are a crafty bunch who sometimes over throw their leaders. You don't want to be the next Caesar, saying "Et tu, Brute?"
Sweet Sky SailingWant to hear our hot take on flying? We think the idea of airplanes has held back our imagination when it comes to flying? Before the Wright Brothers took their flying contraption in the air, the skies were much more capricious! Victorians were floating around in colorful air balloons and inventing machines like the (admittedly dangerous) zeppelin. But what if we went back to ideation mode? You could become the pilot of a hovering bubble that free-floated 10 feet in the air. Or you could zoom through the sky in a bird puppet formed from wax paper and lightweight wires. The ideas don't have to work, you just have to dream it up! Inspire your wild pilot costume with exciting accessories like this pair of rainbow goggles!Product DetailsThis cool pair of goggles is ready to fly! Strapping onto the head with a wide strip of length-adjustable elastic, the goggles are lined with foam for comfort. The goggles may have a smoky, colorful lens but they are not UV proof, so be careful with those sunny days! Flight of FancyAre you ready to take flight with an extra twist of fashion? This costume accessory easily pairs with traditional pilot costumes or a steampunk ensemble for an updated take on your hot air balloon day dreams!
My country tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.During the American Revolution women were called upon to help their country. They were asked to design the new American flag. They were responsible for how the world would see our budding nation. How we would be perceived by other countries.These women were the backbone of early American life. They washed their clothes on washboard racks, and dried them on clothes lines. They did back breaking house work, as their men folk were off fighting against the British, for freedom from the king. Freedom from unfair taxation without representation.This year on Independence Day remember the women who helped make this great nation what it is today. Remember their hardships, and the backbreaking work they put in to give us our freedom from the British Empire. Wear this Women's Colonial Lady Costume to your 4th of July parade. And make sure you wave this thirteen-stared early American flag high as the veterans who fought for our freedom walk by. They will appreciate seeing a strong woman in a lovely colonial era dress who supports them. And although the flag has changed since Betsy Ross' original design, it still has the same power to all who see it.
Is your kid fascinated by Egyptian mythology? Do you notice his eyes light up whenever the pyramids are featured on TV? Pretty understandable, through the ages, the Egyptians left a multitude of mysterious tombs and temples scattered across the desserts. From the iconic pyramids to the weird temples that held thousands of mummified dogs, the Egyptians have amazed and confused us so many times. We have to wonder, what else is out there hidden by the literal sands of time? When looking at Egyptian art we see a powerful character come up again and again. Anubis, the God of the underworld is the guy that keeps those no good mummies from returning from their crypts. From seeing the care the Egyptians took with their tombs and necropolises we know that a good afterlife was pretty important to them, so it's no wonder why they took such care to honor this God with the head of a jackal. Anubis kept the busy world of Egyptian afterlife running smoothly, after death he'd guide the souls of the embalmed to their rightful place, as long as everything in the tomb seemed above board. So, though your child may seem intimidating when he dresses up as Anubis, he is dressing up as one of the good gods. Though he sometimes showed up as a full-on jackal, this costume portrays Anubis in his humanoid form, which is both more commonly portrayed and much easier to dress as. The gold, black, and turquoise colors of the neck and headpiece gives the costume the regal appearance that Anubis would expect. Topped off with a show-stopping jackal mask, this Anubis costume cuts quite an imposing figure. Those Halloween mummies won't dare cross this guard dog.

A Fashionable Foothold on the BattlefieldHave you ever noticed how swanky ancient soldiers looked? Whenever they're depicted on old pots, in the ruins of ancient mosaics, and carved into stones flanking historic cities, they are bedecked with fancy tall feathered helmets. Their fancy demeanor doesn't stop with their headgear. Their look extends to their carved leather armor, the shining metal gauntlets on their arms, and finely decorated shin guards. With all this finery, there's no way Greek and Roman soldiers would have let their footwear fall to the wayside.

TIME TO SEE THOSE TOESIf you're like most, when you get home after a long day (at the office, field, or quarry), the first thing you do is rip those danged shoes off and sigh in the blissful anguish of releasing your feet into the world. But, what's next after recovering!? You want to stay barefoot but what about the chill of linoleum or the flat stone of your earthen home? What about making a mark on your social circles? What about that nasty question of whether you can even see your toes?FUN DETAILSWell, we've got the perfect solution to all those uncertainties with these wondrous Men's Cavemen Feet! These flesh-colored slippers provide the best of both worlds of comfort and perfectly defined toenails. Perhaps you won't be wiggling them so much as admiring!BEDROCK BEAUTIESIt's tough enough wandering around town with all the residents of your community giving you the stink eye because of your bared feet.

Take one look at these shining tootsies and you'll swear off "real shoes" until the next era.
Temporal DaydreamsDo you ever think about time travel? We do. We probably spend WAY more time thinking about that sort of thing than we should. Maybe we read too many adventure books about the subject. You know the type. A seemingly average woman gets swept through time to a few hundred years in the past. She must figure out a way to travel back to her time, all while getting wrapped up in political intrigue and colonial adventures with her new friends from the past. She might even strike up a romance with some dashing figure from the past... it sounds so exhilarating!Of course, that never happens in real life. Or at least, we've never heard of it happening, but we like to pretend. It's part of the whole reason we got into the costuming gig. Costumes let you embark upon some pretty marvelous journeys. Through the power of costume, you can create a little time-jumping adventure of your own, even if you're just roleplaying the whole thing. Who knows! When you put on this Colonial Village Woman Costume, you might just get sucked into some Jamestown drama!Product DetailsThis historical costume is a plus size outfit that recreates the look of the colonial days. It comes with a simple brown dress that you can wear as you walk through the village. The off-white apron around the waist will have you ready to tend to your daily chores, while the shawl around the shoulders puts the finishing touch to the outfit. The costume also comes with a cap that fits around your head with an elastic band.Make Your Own Historical StoryWhether you long for a historical story of your own or you just want to reenact the early colonial American days, this Colonial Village Woman Costume will help you get into character.
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.

Prehistoric FashionistaWho says living in a cave means you don't know anything about style?! In our experience, cave-dwelling fashionistas are actually a little ahead of the curve, since they can get their hands on pretty exotic furs and do some snazzy things with bones and claws and all that good stuff. Your little one will have a blast from the past (the extreme past) dressing up in this Cave Girl Cutie Costume for her prehistoric Halloween shenanigans!Being a Stone Age girl is far from easy, especially during woolly mammoth migration season, or when it's time to trim your pet saber tooth tiger's claws. And it's not as if you can just hit a drive-thru whenever you're craving a breakfast burrito. You totally have to sneak into a dinosaur nest and snag some eggs first, and that's assuming you also have all the other ingredients and a fire to cook them on. To us, that alone almost makes being a cave girl sound terrible, but then we see chic Neolithic outfits like this woolly dress, and we're back on board!Product DetailsThis cute costume comes with everything she needs to transform into a really cool cave kid. The leopard print dress features jagged hemlines to look she made it with her bare hands, and it looks awesome with the faux fur vest and matching boot tops. The bony hair bow tops off this wild, very vintage style, and will show everyone how cave kids know a thing or two about looking cool!Cave Girl CostumeBefore there was social media, texting, and long before there was Facetime, there was the stone age. Even though they couldn't instantly connect with friends and know what's happening around the world at any given moment, we think that the cave people knew a few things about fashion that we can still use to this day. This Cave Girl costume proves just that!
Your kiddo will be ready to fight for his nation with this American Patriot Costume for boys. General Washington will have wished he had a comrade as loyal and brave as your little one.

The combined jacket and vest look like something right out of a history book, especially once you add the white cravat. In order to complete this historic transformation, your kiddo will need a few accessories. Start with a proper pair of slacks to wear with the guise, then look through our tricorne hats, and a maybe even grab a colonial wig to act as the cherry atop this amazing costume!Oh, and not that we condone violence or anything (maybe the occasional Nerf War here and there) but your little one will definitely need a replica weapon to carry around with this costume. After all, it is based on a military outfit during a time of war. So, take a look at our collection of toy swords and guns to find the perfect weaponry for your kiddo to reenact his favorite historical events!
Style SupportFace it. You wouldn’t refer to pioneer women’s clothing as stylish. Practical? Absolutely! From the rather dull colors to the carefree fits, every piece of apparel worked as hard as the woman wearing it. Brown dresses hid dirt stains earned while cleaning sod houses and tending barn animals. And while floor-length skirts sound like a tripping hazard, their flowy design was easy to move in. A woman could even ride a horse while wearing one.The only thing these “drab” garments weren’t great for was fashion. Strolling into town and trying to look your best in a dust-stained, farm-scented dress didn’t exactly scream elegant or work. And while there were bigger things to worry about than looking chic in a community of frontiersmen, getting to wear a nice outfit has always been a silver lining on a woman’s day!Design & DetailsGain a boost of confidence even dressed in a plain pioneer costume when you layer this Made By Us Women’s Hoop Skirt underneath! Whether you’re walking into a dusty saloon or going for an authentic frontier-style for your friend’s Halloween party, this simple accessory is here to support the cause. This crinoline adds lift to your look with its four hoops that start at mid-thigh and graduate in size from smallest to largest. Meanwhile, its narrow elastic waistline holds securely without creating bulk at your midsection.Dull to DreamyAdd volume to maxis. Raise your hemline just a hair. Or turn dull into dreamy all with this exclusive Women’s Hoop Skirt! With this easy-to-use costume accessory in your wardrobe, every droopy length or deflated costume idea gets the lift it needs!
Becoming the Greek goddess Aphrodite is surprisingly easy. All you have to do is jet across the world to Greece, climb to the top of Mt. Olympus, say some yadda-yadda, and BOOM! the ancients will return to make you the modern version of the goddess incarnate. You'll be bestowed with supernatural powers, and your already striking appearance will be enhanced, leaving you as the ultimate beauty on planet Earth. But there's only one thing the other gods can't do for ya to let you get your Aphrodite on. They aren't going to be able to get you the right threads!That's why we recommend packing this Aphrodite Goddess plus size costume before you take your trip. When you're decked out in this detailed look, you'll be able to bestow the virtues of love and beauty to all (even if you're not willing to trudge to the top of that mountain to make it official). This women's plus size costume is an exclusive look that is made and designed by us, and in sizes 1X-4X, we have the sizes and fit that will turn any lady into a true goddess!The two layer dress has sheer pleated gold sleeves and underskirt. The purple overdress is 2 way stretch material so you're going to be perfectly comfortable whether you're taking it easy with the other deities or even if you've got something a little more action packed planned for your night. It has printed leaves along the hemline. The ensemble is completed with a gold rope belt and headband. We're sure you're going to love going as your own version of Aphrodite whether you're planning a little trip or you just want to spread beauty and love around to the common folk of your village!
Hair with AttitudeDo you know those times when you wake up with a hopeless bad hair day? You take one glance in the mirror and you know there's nothing you can do. You could break out your hair straightener, ramp up your hair mousse, or call on all the bobby pins in your arsenal but that cowlick in the back of your head is still going to stick up straight. In the end, you just have to ride the bad hair day wave or figure out a way to work a hat into your ensemble. But all your bad hair days put together can't beat the day that Medusa woke to find a goddess had cursed her with reptilian locks. If you think cowlicks are annoying, just imagine if your hair could actually bite back if you took a comb to it. At least your locks would never be boring, right?Design & DetailsThis Made-by-Us green wig is a stylish interpretation of Medusa's legendary look. The long, layered curls make an immediate impact with shades of green and black strands. It turns out, having hair with attitude can be a pretty stunning look!Slither with StyleWe're thinking that Medusa needs rebranding. Ancient legends paint Medusa's post-snake life in a pretty grotesque way. But in the end, we're sure that she could have rocked this look if she so chose. So step out with a fresh Medusa look. This gorgeous wig is sure to tip the scales!
It's been said that love is a battlefield. But to some people, those words might sound a little out of order. The valkyrie who must have inspired this Women's Viking Vixen Costume, for example, would probably say a battlefield is love, or whatever was closest in Old Norse. And people like us, who enjoy mixing things up, might assert that field is a love battle—though we can't claim to know what that means!That's okay, because there's almost as much difference of opinion about the historical Vikings as there is about love and war. Were they rabid marauders? Adventurous seafarers? Master merchants? Opera enthusiasts? Did the real Vikings even wear horns on their helmets? There aren't a lot of easy answers, even if you're an archaeologist. That's why we stick to Halloween costumes: because when we see a shieldmaiden outfit with great faux leather details and a majestic fur-lined cape in powder blue, we know exactly what to think and feel. It's awesome! And we didn't even need a PhD!When you're wearing this strapping armor, you get to decide whether being a Viking means raiding and pillaging, knocking a few heads together, or just shattering wine glasses in a hail of high notes. As soon as you get your hands on one of these costumes, your fate becomes your own—though we'd also be happy to set you up with a couple of battle-ready accessories. Then you'll be totally free to cut loose and go berserk!
The Ancient Greeks certainly had style nailed down. Nobility! Finery! Passionate and powerful gods! Nights of wild boasting and debauchery! Whether you have ambitions of high society and the delightful antics that might accompany them or grand designs for a place among the ancient gods, there is certainly one thing that holds true: you must look the part. Our modern day has well remembered this and stolen what we can of the ancient times. You’ve heard of the epic toga parties, no doubt? Well, they might brush against some of the style, but they’re still missing the class!But, take that ancient toga and add in a bit of refinement, some properly placed golden sashes, and a pose that is ready to command whole legions and you quickly are finding yourself in the territory of the divine, whether you are a mortal, yet powerful queen of many or have ascended into the highest peaks of Mount Olympus to claim one of the golden thrones as a goddess. The trouble is figuring which you’d prefer. It seems like a silly question: queen or goddess? Who would possibly choose to give up godhood!? But, those ancient Greek gods are a tough lot! Constantly fighting over even minor things and getting themselves into a ton of trouble. Maybe it’d be easier to simply have to deal with mortal affairs!The choice can be yours with this Spartan Queen costume. Don’t let the name fool you, because this backless white halter-style dress could be divine just on its own! But, add a ribbon band below the bust with golden detailing, another at your waist, and then a swath of crisscrossing gleaming white fabric over a floor-length skirt and you have a gown that breaks the confines of time itself. Choose the right accessories, including a goddess wig, golden armbands, or a gold leaf circlet and you could tell Zeus it is time to step down and let reign the first Goddess Queen!
Everyone knows about Jack the Ripper, and even if you're somehow just hearing about him for the very first time, you can probably deduce from his colorful nickname that he wasn't a good dude. It's also said that the infamous serial killer was never caught, which could mean he died without ever being punished for his brutal crimes. Or, it could mean that somehow, The Ripper is still out there...Nah, we're just messing with ya! Jack hasn't been heard from in over a century, so it's pretty safe to say he's long gone. But as grotesque as his acts were, he did have a certain fiendish flair that could only be found in Victorian Era London, don't you think? You can add some of that menacing style to your own Halloween outings in this spooky Jack the Ripper Costume, but we must warn you, this outfit is not for the timid. You may find yourself feeling unusually wicked while dressed in this dark ensemble, and prone to playing tricks on your friends. You might start sneaking around in the shadows, and leaving cryptically creepy notes for people to find, which could make everyone think that old Jack's back on the prowl!We wouldn't worry too much though, since we haven't heard of anyone picking up any of Jack's deadlier “hobbies” while wearing this costume. This black faux suede outfit will have you looking like a classic Victorian gentleman with a sinister secret, while the red trim featured on the vest and cloak matches the included jabot, and hints at your devilish side. Your diabolical style will be as notorious as the slasher that made it famous!
