All you could do was scream for help.Thankfully, your screams caught the attention of a nearby knight, and he raced to your rescue.

The Noble TogaFor a century, the Romans ruled and created some pretty remarkable architecture! They had a society filled with some pretty advanced ideas, too! But, of all their inventions, we have to give the highest praise to their fashion sense. This glorious weave of wool is what separated the scholars from the students. What other article of clothing has inspired an entire theme for parties!? It's time to give a little honor to the toga that elevates us all. It's a pretty common belief that everyone in Greece and Rome wore the toga. But, a real ancient Roman would gasp at the audacity. The true toga was for Roman citizens exclusively. Then you had the ones with golden shawls or even purple stripes! Those meant that you had an emperor or even a member of the Roman Senate striding up to you. Of course, these days, we wear them a bit more freely. (Plus, we've made a few modern adaptations to make them easier, too!)Product DetailsJump into the fun of a toga party or some ancient Roman rulership with our Party Toga costume! You won't need 18-feet of cloth to bring your illustrious frame to bear. With this costume, you'll be able to slip into the look of a toga with a simple tunic that features golden trim and accents on a pure white base. The gold belt keeps things cinched thanks to hoop and loop strips in the back. Give yourself a Senatorial boost with the included gold leaf headband and then choose between the blue or red shawl to complete your look. Command the PartyThe Roman Senate might have been fighting with each other for a thousand years. But you won't have to fight to get a winning look. This Party Toga costume is a comfy and stylish way to bring ancient Rome into the modern day!
Mixed MotivationsIf you had lived in Europe in the wide range of years from 1095 to 1492, you probably would have known a man or two who had joined in a crusading movement. It was a popular choice for many reasons. For one, if you were a serf, you legally belonged to your lord. The pope promised that serfs that joined in the fight would be given freedom on their return. Soldiers also joined to see the world, get land, gain wealth, and have their sins wiped clean. Like all other ventures, every individual had their own reasons for joining. Now that the crusades have been over for more than 600 years, the little crusader in your life can choose their very own mission. Are they crusading to fight for freedom from an early curfew? Or perhaps they're campaigning for a trip to an indoor water park this winter. Like the actual crusades, every soldier is in it for a different reason. Whatever your child's motivations might be, the mission is sure to be more successful if they're dressed for success!Design & DetailsYour child will feel like they're ready for anything when they slip into this Made by Us crusader costume. The costume has a tunic at the base and with silver sequins that make up a chain mail look and texture. Your child is sure to be excited about the "shining armor" look. A red cross tabard is draped over the tunic and the hood is draped over the neck, looking awesome whether it's worn up around the head or down. The look is topped off with details like the draping belt and faux leather gloves. A Sharp LookKid's will be jumping with excitement when they know this costume is coming in the mail. Make sure they're ready to wear this costume as soon as it's out of the package by adding on a sword and shield and pairing it with leggings and boots. We'd say this costume will conquer this Halloween with ease!
Even though our professional training is in making Halloween costumes, we have an amateur's enthusiasm for a lot of different occupations. So the part of us that likes to read biographies and volunteer at the local historical society was really psyched about this regal Toddler Knight Costume! Unfortunately, their museum doesn't have any displays about the age of chivalry, since the head-to-toe chain mail fad never quite made it to this part of the world. But we're still really excited, so we thought we'd take a shot at giving this outfit some brief historical context. Ahem:About a thousand years ago, people were so good at putting pointy pieces of metal on the end of sticks, they didn't think there was any room for improvement. But along came a clever (and kind of crazy) blacksmith who realized that linking a bunch of little metal loops together was a really great way to stop pointy pieces of metal from getting to the squishy parts of a person! Everybody who had a suit of this new kind of armor became very popular. In fact, the inhabitants of each village and hamlet handed out candy to these glittering guardians, hoping that they'd stick around for a while. That gave rise to knights, a class of armor-wearers for hire, who went from town to town collecting treats for a living! And sometimes they wore crowns for fun (and dramatic effect).In that proud tradition we humbly offer this detailed outfit, so that anyone can reap the sweet rewards that come from dressing up in a shiny coat of mail! The end!

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.

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!
Is your daughter a strong leader? When it comes to recess is she the one who organizes the races or decides what that group is going to pretend that day? Maybe she's always volunteering to read in class or bringing that science project to the next level. However she uses her leadership skills, you know that she could do anything, even lead a nation. When she was eighteen years old Cleopatra was put on the throne alongside her ten-year-old brother. She enjoyed a couple of years of power but when she got older her brother banished her. After that she probably let things go, right? Ha! Nope. She had some servants roll her up in a carpet and sneak her back into the palace when her brother was having a visitor, Caesar, you know, the super famous leader? Yep, so she meets up in secret with this guy who had a much larger army than her brother and convinces the guy that she should be the one on the throne. How's that for leadership? She might have been wearing a costume very similar to this when she enrolled herself from the tapestry. She would probably have been wearing a golden light weight dress and the traditional Egyptian golden collar and belt. With the undeniable stance of a Queen and her legendary diplomatic skills, it's no wonder that Caesar sided with the celebrated Cleopatra. When your little girl dresses up as this mighty queen she's sure to feel as powerful as that immortal heroine that ruled in 51BC. Maybe she's dressing up for a school project or maybe she wants an imperial Halloween costume this year, either way, this Cleopatra Halloween costume is sure to support her leadership aspirations. She knows better than anyone, that a queen doesn't follow the crowd, the crowd follows you.

Making a MarkThink about it. With nothing more than a few bolts of cloth, some thread, and some nimble fingers, Betsy Ross created one of the most iconic symbols in all of American history. It's had a few updates since the very first flag was crafted in 1776, but the basic design remains mostly unchanged since then. After all, why mess with perfection, right?

Just Another Manic Munch-dayEvery artist has a different specialty. Some are wonderful at framing reality in a totally different way. Others are great at bringing reality to life. But they all convey different emotions. Monet knows how to convey a completely peaceful French countryside. While Manet brings a little more energy to his peaceful French hoity-toity party scenes.

The Sky's the LimitThe stars seemed near enough to touch and never before have I seen so many. I always believed the lure of flying is the lure of beauty, but I was sure of it that night. —Amelia Earhart If you have long been captivated by the skies, then you are not alone!

So, whether you're awaiting your pilot's license, or you simply want to pay homage to a fearless female leader this Halloween, this Women's Amelia Earhart Costume will give you wings.

Be the first to do something awesome. Amelia would want it that way!
Hey there, warrior! Have you been trying to get yourself inside the Colosseum for a spot of combat? Well, then you'd better not charge into there without a weapon! After all, they're going to throw every kind of mean-faced gladiator and ferocious lions at you, so you'd better come prepared with a solid game plan of kicking butt with a super awesome historical weapon. That's where this Roman Gladius Sword comes in!This toy weapon looks just like the one wielded by various fighters from Ancient Rome. Of course, it's made out of plastic, since we really can't just sell you dangerous weaponry (it's a liability thing). This toy sword does, however, come with a highly realistic look that should be enough to scare any gladiator or lion in the ring. Of course, you could always use it for LARPing too, since we're huge supporters of any activity that involves pretend fighting against giant cyclops monsters. Whatever you decide to use it for, you'll be sure to look like the toughest warrior around!
The biggest problem with ruling over a country isn’t the constant threat of betrayal and almost certain early death by assassination—often including truly unusual ways of bringing it about. 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. The real trouble is the weight of those insane crowns! The divine clerics always insist on bulky gold and the thing gets bigger every generation! There must be a more elegant way to rule…Of course, if we look back through history, it isn’t at all hard to land on the one ruler who had style and grace above all: the lovely Cleopatra. You can wield her charm in your rule with her Cleopatra Beaded Snake Headband. This luxurious headpiece is embroidered with bright golden beads that captivate the beauty and exotic nature of the Nile, all while featuring the deadly intrigue of the serpent. You can trust that all will bow to your majesty in this exquisite crown that won’t make you feel like bowing! Just make sure you keep your trust in your own look and watch out for asps of a different color!
THE PROPHECY BEGINSOur office Seer doesn't usually have a ton to say. To be honest, a bunch of us are beginning to wonder why we even keep her around. "Trent of the number counters feasts upon the quarry of the unwary" is hardly a world-shattering insight... though it did help us realize where all our lunches were going. However, we know she's serious when she starts bringing up the All-Father and says that a warrior of legend is about to sail from our docks!So, we're getting everything ready for the new Earl (and maybe even King). That means preparing a whole fleet of ships for all the trips out west and plenty of ingredients for the various feasts that we know we'll be having. (Don't worry. Trent isn't helping out with that part of the preparation!) Anyway, you best get ready for some of the craziest adventure that you can imagine, because you're going to last at least four seasons when you set out with us! DESIGN & DETAILSThe Seer has spoken and our clan designers have raided at least a dozen settlements to gather enough materials for this officially licensed Ragnar Lothbrok Costume. This exclusive look includes everything you need to step into the role of the protagonist of Vikings. Start with an embossed tunic and matching belt that each look like worn leather. (Can't have you looking like this is your first fight, after all!) The pants have an elastic waist for easy wear and the boot covers are laser cut to look like leather plates! Get yourself an axe and shield and you might not even need the aid of the gods.WATCH OUT FOR BLIND DRIVERSOnce you go to fulfill the prophecy as Ragnar, we recommend that you watch out for some of those warnings. Especially in modern days, a blind taxi driver is a dangerous route to take! You don't want this Ragnar Costume lasting longer than you do, after all.
THE ALL-FATHER'S SHIELDWhen you're destined to become the new king of the clans but have quite a few betrayers to deal with before getting there, things aren't always going to go especially smoothly. There might be quite a bit of conflict and more than one axe coming your way.Fortunately, if you're Ragnar Lothbrok, Odin seems to have a pretty vested interest in your success and will always send protection down to keep you save until the very end. Of course, that doesn't mean you shouldn't show up prepared. DESIGN & DETAILSThis officially licensed Ragnar Lothbrok Red Shield from Vikings is a faithfully recreated replica, Made by Us to ensure that your exploits as a warrior go well! This is a large, plastic, round shield that is painted red and black to look as authentic as the shields wielded in the show. It's the perfect way to accessorize any warrior's look, especially for any Viking raids you may have planned. PASS IT ON TO BJORNWith a shield of this high quality, you know that it will keep you safe until it is time to pass the mantle of rulership down to your heir. Wield it well and take down all your enemies and the thing will still be around for Bjorn to follow in your shoes after it is time to open the gates to Valhalla!
If a man was a Viking, he was tough by definition. Violence was normal, he was most comfortable when forming a shield wall with his tribe. For Vikings, the world was a brutal place. The icy winds of the sea would have been whistling in the ears of the Norsemen since they were babes in the arms of their equally tough mothers. They were handling battle axes as soon as they could tottle around. With that harsh environment, it's no wonder they grew all the hair they could to protect them from the multitude of unforgiving elements, from the cold weather of the Norwegian seaside to the flying debris of the battlefield. You can't transform yourself into a Viking warrior if you ignore the epic long hair and beards of these northerners. The red locks of this wig are typical of people with Norse heritage. All you need now is one of those horned helmets and you're ready for battle. Now, shout it out with your fellow Norsemen, "Shield Wall!"

Monstrous MaidenMedusa is a fairly well-known character in Greek mythology. One of the three Gorgon sisters, she is most known for her hair made of snakes and her ability to turn anyone who looks at her to stone. Although ancient Greek artists imagined her as a monster, most later works depict her as beautiful (other than her hideous hair). Her story has been retold many times over the years, and usually, she’s painted as a horrifying creature that Perseus is a hero for defeating. However, other versions are more sympathetic to her plight. If you’d like to tell your own version of the story (or just have the power to turn people to stone), perhaps you’d enjoy dressing up as this character!Design & DetailsIf you’ve cooked up your own Gorgon outfit and all you need is some reptilian hair, then you might like this Adult Medusa Snake Wig!

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.

15th Century SurpriseMedieval times used to be pretty wild. People believed in witches, unicorns, and sea monsters that lingered on the unknown borders of the map. Rampant disease made sure that the kings in power were always changing, causing all sorts of wars and skirmishes. Still, in all this chaos, people were shocked when a young woman in France demanded an army to defend the French throne. Somehow, she was taken seriously. She led victorious battle after battle while she was still a teenager. We cringe to think about what we were up to at 18. Not breaking society's standards and taking hundreds of lives into our hands, that's for certain!Costume DetailsThis lightweight version of Joan of Arc's armor will have your kiddo feeling tough even though it's made of lightweight fabric. The costume features sleeves and pants with a chainmail printed pattern that won't weigh a kid down. A long blue tunic is layered over top with a Fleur de Lis printed on the front. A wide silver collar is just stiff enough to make your kiddo look ready for whatever battle comes her way! That's Oui, not WeeYour kid's capacity to amaze you is always taken to new heights. Who knows what she could accomplish if she was a medieval peasant called to the front. Luckily, that's not going to happen these days. But your child might still surprise you once she's in her Joan of Arc armor. Gone is the mac and cheese-loving scribble fiend you once knew. Now, your little one is a powerhouse! Complete this look with a sword and shield set and a few smudges of charcoal on her face for a dirty, battle-worn look to make sure that everyone else knows that your Joan of Arc is ready to take on the world!
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. With a dignified draping cape and flattering leather accents, you'll be a favorite with the crowd in no time. You might even have to go on an international ancient world tour. That sounds like fun! You'd get to see all those famous ruins when they were newly built. Just goes to show that if you're going to go back, you'd better dress to impress!Costume DetailsThis stunning ancient ensemble is Made By Us which means it was created by our in-house designers. The costume features a jersey knit cape accented with a brass coin. A kilt trimmed in a geometric gold pattern is secured with a hook and loop fastener at the back. Faux leather gauntlets slip over your forearms for a tough, battle-ready look. B.C. BraveryAre you ready to bring a touch of the B.C. era to your next costumed event? This high-quality look is a great choice. Complete your look with gladiator props from our collection. From a sword and shield or the tough spear pictured, you'll feel strong and brave once you're all decked out. Step into your next costumed event with brave B.C. style!
