Country MaidenEveryone always wants to dress up as a Renaissance princess. But here's the thing. When it comes to beauty and elegance, dressing up as someone from the royal court in the 1600s isn't where it's at. Towns and courts in the Renaissance era were so very dirty. In fact, if noblewomen wanted to go anywhere they wore shoes called "chopines". These were extremely tall platform shoes that helped keep hemlines free from all the animal muck and sewer mud in the streets. Unlike modern high heels, these shoes required women to be accompanied by friends on each side just to keep a lady upright. No, when it comes to dressing up in the Renaissance era, you want to be a fresh country lass. No lead-based makeup, platform heels, or suffocating layers of skirts to hold you back from all that 1600s style fun!Design & DetailsThis Celtic Renaissance dress was designed by our in-house creative team. The dress has a gorgeous off-the-shoulder chemise in clean white. The forest green overdress fastens up the front with adjustable laces for a corset look that's quite comfortable. The uniquely cut dress is trimmed with silver and green Celtic trim at the waist for a look that hints at the romance of the highlands!Meeting At the FaireAre you headed to the Ren Faire this year? Dreaming of dancing around a maypole and biting into a whole turkey leg with abandon? If you want to live out your historical fantasies, make sure you're not encumbered by pounds of velvet skirt and stiff corset boning. This Renaissance costume will make sure you feel comfortable while also looking stunning in front of castle backdrops. Whether you're heading to the Renaissance Faire or Scottish festival, taking part in a play, or dressing up for Halloween, we're sure that you'll love slipping into this Made by Us historical costume!
Valhalla awaits... but let's make sure you have a good run before you join Odin in the great hall.

And the most important thing to protect is your head!So, complete your Viking costume with this women's horned Viking helmet!

Marauder MakeoverDo you hear the drums calling? Those rhythms aren't just to inspire you and your fellow longboat riders to run your oars at the same pace. That's the call for battle! You can look out over the field and see it decorated with dozens or more of your competition. They've got their braids done up to the nines. Beads are woven into the men's beards and bands of fabric and leather torn from the defeated give a colorful flair to the women's hair. This is a fashion raid! Who has claimed the ultimate treasures from the most recent attack on those bellyaching nobles? And, more importantly, who is wearing it best!? Does their mighty axe clash more with their armor than it does against their shield!? And, speaking of shields, let's be honest... is it one worthy of carrying a mighty warrior into Valhalla or is it just a bargain arrow blocker that someone lifted off a wannabe warrior? Design & Details Make sure that you are always standing at the forefront of Viking fashion when you come equipped with this Black Viking Shield. This easy-on-the-eyes prop shield is made from plastic though it has the solid look of wood and metal. Painted black with shiny edges, it measures just under three feet in diameter and has two straps in the back for easy wielding. Show the rest that black is the new red when you conquer the competition and make your warrior readiness known!
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.
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.
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! Our designers worked hard to bring this mythical character’s most iconic feature to life. The beautifully patterned green snakes are attached to a headband to keep them on your head. The snakes have green and black eyes, red tongues, and a little bit of wire inside so you can pose them however you like. You can choose whether they’re reaching out for a hug or ready to attack!Gorgeous GorgonUnleash your inner monster with this Adult Medusa Snake Wig. We’re sure you’ll have a great time as this mythical character, but we must ask that you refrain from turning anyone to stone!
We like to follow the theory that the Victorian Industrial Revolution somehow split off into two different worlds. There's the world that turned into what we live in and there is one that turns into the world of steampunk. We dream of going there because who wouldn't want to become an adventurer in that gear freak world of a science fiction old fashion? Every once in a while we decide to dress up like we were there (usually on Wednesdays). Now we'd like to expand the tradition. Add an elegant touch to your Halloween costume with this Women's Cameo Steampunk Set complete with a choker adorned with white lace and earrings. This will be sure to identify you immediately as true steampunk aristocracy. If you feel like going back in time instead of forward, this set would also be great for a traditional costume of the time period that inspires the mystical world of whimsy.
Simple Yet EffectiveOftentimes, the simplest tools of war prove to be the most effective. This is a lesson that Rollo of Normandy has learned well! A tool that's good for chopping wood can be just as useful on the battlefield! You can usually see him charging into battle, wielding an axe against the fiercest of foes.If you plan on cosplaying as Rollo, or as any of your other favorite characters from the Vikings series, then you're going to need his signature weapon! This Vikings Rollo Sigurdsson Toy Axe costume accessory. It's inspired by the one seen in the hands of the legendary Viking warrior.Design & DetailsThis toy axe is officially licensed from the Vikings series. It's a Made By Us design made out of molded plastic with a realistic paint job. The axe head has a weathered metallic color, while the handle is designed to look like wood. It even has molded wrapping around the bottom to help provide a better grip. Add it to your Vikings cosplay to transform into your favorite warrior!
Draugr attacks and troll raids might not be common occurrences in modern society, but it's never a bad idea to have a game plan for any bad situation in life. Our plan? Well, it includes channeling our inner Norseman warrior, wielding a mighty battle axe and dressing like a Viking. Of course, it also involves growing a really outstanding beard, but we let's just take thing one step at a time. If you want to be prepared for the eventual troll war that's coming, then you'd better take your first step with this exclusive Viking costume.This Adult Nordic Viking Costume brings a barbaric style that could scare the pants off of any draugr warrior (do draugr warriors even wear pants) that comes your way! The costume comes with a faux leather breastplate, along with matching faux suede pants. Faux fur accents (no animals were harmed making this costume) along the shoulder and boot covers add for an authentic Viking touch that might even make you feel like a raiding a village or two. A matching faux fur arm gauntlet finishes the look.Once you have this entire ensemble on, you may feel the intense urge to grow a manly beard so you can head out to a life of troll-slaying. Our only further advice is to make sure you equip yourself with one of our mighty Viking weapons and shields, since you can never be too prepared when facing off against those deadly trolls!
HONESTLY, THAT'S A COOL COSTUMEAbe Lincoln, what a guy! He was a successful leader and popular president because he could relate and appeal to the "common folk" so when this Abraham Lincoln men's costume came into the office, we felt compelled to transform into the 16th President of the United States. Known for being an incredibly honest man, the premise of the movie Liar Liar automatically popped into our heads. What if we put on this costume and then suddenly had no self-control and blurted out every thought we had? (Now, that could land us in some hot water.) Also, Abe Lincoln was 6 ft. 4 in. tall which is intimidatingly tall (maybe he could have played some professional basketball), so that factor was a little daunting too.If you're anything like us and have these same concerns, we can squash those worries right now. We finally worked up the nerve to try on the Abe Lincoln costume and we didn't feel the need to disclose every thought, thank goodness. Also, the costume looked great on us despite our short stature! PRODUCT DETAILSThe historical costume comes with a long black button down coat with a large collar. The black vest is worn underneath the jacket and also features matching black buttons for a refined look. The included black tie attaches around the neck via a simple Hook and Loop fastener tab. You'll also receive a collapsible top hat to complete the presidential look. Please note, this costume doesn't come with the beard, white collared shirt, or pants. TRUTH BE TOLDTruth be told, this a great historical costume that can be used for a play performance. Wear it to celebrate President's Day! Complete the look by picking up a beard accessory and a pair of black dress shoes. Memorizing the Gettysburg Address wouldn't hurt either!
Prepare for the RobotsRobots are going to take over the world. It might not be today. It might not be tomorrow. But mark our words, we may find ourselves in the midst of a robot apocalypse that we cannot escape. Will they be friend or foe of humanity? We can't really be certain at this point. Don't worry though, because we have a plan that we think will help everyone get a jump on those robots and it all starts with a simple disguise. Just make yourself look like a robot before it all goes down, and you can live peacefully among the robot overlords... or maybe you just want to dress up like a robot for Halloween. Either way, we've got you covered!Product DetailsThis Retro Robot Bronze Helmet is the perfect headpiece for fooling any robot.

Go grab your blowtorch, and your welding gear because you need to start fixing it now. If you don't get it fixed now the whole ship will go down. Everything you have built gone forever. All the people, the ones who are so loyal to you, will have no home, no job. You better get to work.But oh no, where are your welding goggles? Oh, that's right, your last pair broke in the last storm. As an inventor or aviator in the steampunk world, you need to have a decent pair of goggles. You live a dangerous life full of explosions, high-speed, winds, and lots of smoke everywhere. You'll be tinkering with things all the time, and that just gets messy, you know what we mean. As a result you've always got to have a pair of goggles handy for your own safety. That and because you know you look pretty awesome in them.Well, we have these Gold Winged Goggles to replace your old pair. These antique-gold-tone plastic goggles feature green-tinted lenses, a length-adjustable elastic band around the back of the head, and faux leather wings attached to the sides. They might not protect your eyes from the brightness of the blow torch, the dust in the wind, and any loose flying metals, but they certainly look the part! And they will let you get on with fixing your ship and adventuring all over. When you are all done, just put them on a top hat so they don't get lost, or broken again.
What do BioShock, War of the Worlds, Dishonored, Panic! at the Disco, and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea all have in common? For all their differences and focuses and quirks, they are all unabashedly steampunk.America prides itself on its technology, traditions, and our constitutional freedom to be creative—to let our imaginations run wild.

You might be thinking now (and we don't blame you): "What can I do to get into Steampunk?"Start at the roots. Check out the revolutionary sci-fi novels of writers like Jules Verne and H.G. Wells.

BITESIZE ANCIENT HISTORYWe can hear you, already. "Not another history lesson!?" Well, just wait! Don't run off. This is going to be a quick and easy one that we're sure you're going to love! (And, you can't run, anyway. We've latched the doors and set up all sorts of ingenious traps to keep you around.) See, the thing about history is that there's just so much of it. It gets too huge to handle. That's why we're going to break up the history of all time into little, easy-to-handle chunks!There's something about little versions of things that are somehow super cute, too. Take the real-life "boy king" of Egypt. Tutankhamun was only nine when he took over an entire dynasty and even managed to keep the title until he grew up! It was pretty commonplace that folks would worship the Pharaohs after they were gone, but ancient Egyptians were loving King Tut while he was alive. Obviously, that's because they couldn't contain the adorable "awwws!" DESIGN & DETAILSBring the legend to life and make history once again when you transform your tot into Tut with this exclusive Egyptian Pharaoh Costume. Our team of designers moonlighted as archeologists for months to put together this high-quality look of dark black and gleaming gold. The short-sleeve tunic falls beyond the knee and matches the inner lining of the gold and black-striped headpiece. Shiny black fabric makes up the collar, cuffs, and the belt, though it is the hieroglyphics printed on the belt that really sell the look! THE YOUNGEST PHARAOH YET!King Tut made ancient fame for having the nicest pyramid to date and being the youngest kiddo to rule. But, time for the crown to pass to an even younger generation with your toddler! This Pharaoh Costume is bound to get way more attention than some old 18th Dynasty fuddy-duddy!
We're Not JokingFloki jokes about a lot of things. He jokes about the gods. He jokes about authority and love and war. He jokes about everything that's sacred to the Vikings. One thing that Floki doesn't joke about? He doesn't mess around when it comes to boats.When it came time to do the impossible and cross the wide sea to find a land that Ragnar and Floki weren't even sure existed, Floki was there to put his mind to the task. He not only finds the best lumber for the ships, he sees inside the trees before he even makes a cut. Sure, he's a complicated guy but when it comes to seacraft, the gods' love his boats! And to him, that's nothing to joke about. Design & DetailsOur creative team is pleased to present this licensed Vikings Floki costume. You'll look ready for battle and designing new seafaring technology in this rough and tumble look. This Made by Us look features a faux leather tunic with oversized stitching on the front and a faux leather belt around the waist. The soft green undershirt and pants will keep you warm as you sail through the fjords and on to unknown lands. Just to be sure to add Floki's dramatic eye makeup to make your character instantly recognizable. Now, whether you use charcoal or eyeliner is up to you!Uncharted TerritoryFinding solutions to unsolvable problems is what Floki loves best. When you step into his character, you'll need to think on your feet. Maybe you're heading out with Lagertha, Ragnar, and Bjorn Ironside or maybe you're heading out on a solo expedition. Either way, we're pretty confident you'll find adventure. Just make sure you've got a prop ax at your side. Whether you're building a ship or leading an army in battle, Floki is never unprepared!
Not a PrincessWhile remaining a popular costume for kids, the life of a princess has never been easy throughout history. As long as one was a princess, there were extreme expectations for your behavior and education. You had to learn to become a diplomate as well as the model for all the young ladies in the kingdom. That might mean grinning and bearing it while your father, the king, creates a new religion so that he can annul his marriage to your mother effectively disinheriting you from the throne. This Queen Elizabeth the First Costume is not for a pretty princess, it's for a powerful matriarch. Design & DetailsOur creative team assigned this design to our resident history buff to create a costume that's worthy of Queen Elizabeth yet affordable by modern standards. This being said, you'll find delightful details within this costume. For instance, the fitted sleeves are trimmed in sheer ruffles and layered under dramatic draped outer sleeves. Queen Elizabeth’s trademark stand-up collar is kept in place with stiff foam covered in the same brocade of the gown to make sure that your character is instantly recognizable. Zipping up the back, you won’t have to depend on a team of servants to slip into this iconic historic costume. And if you want to go above and beyond, add an over-the-top red wig and pale makeup to complete the Queen's aesthetic. Power UpQueen Elizabeth had to deal with getting left in the lurch for many years throughout her teens and young adulthood. Her road to the throne was not a simple one. But once this matriarch became queen, she not only took the throne, she captured the hearts and imaginations of England. While she ruled over 400 years ago, we still are looking up to her royal air. Are you ready to channel this royal icon? Slip into this Made by Us costume to leave your princess garb behind and become a queen!
You got to hand it to Hermes, this guy was made of quick stuff! He had wings on his helmet, he had wings on his shoes, he even had wings on his staff! This guy was made for speed. Because of his ability to fly fast and far, the gods of Olympus hired him on as living instant messenger between the gods and mortals. This fast fellow used all that responsibility he got to cause a lot of mischief on Olympus. Lucky for him he was quick on his feet and rarely got into a bind he couldn't get out of. Who wouldn't want the ability to cause mischief and escape the consequences? Although, some of us probably have younger siblings that have somehow acquired that ability. If you want to be a Greek God this Halloween or for a future toga party, this winged makes for an instantly recognizable character. You'll have so much fun, the night will fly by!
Good Morrow, Fair Maiden!Oh, to be a beautiful maiden in Shakespeare’s time. You might think their lives were dull if you just looked at historic paintings, but they were actually always having adventures! Portia in The Merchant of Venice dresses up like a man, pretends to be a lawyer, and saves the life of her love during a dramatic court case. Miranda in The Tempest was banished to a desert island and had to deal with a literal monster and a sketchy wizard. (We'll let you guess which one ended up being her dad!) Viola in Twelfth Night got shipwrecked, disguised herself as her brother... and still managed to land the guy, too!Obviously, these ladies are no shrinking violets! So it’s no wonder that you want to dress up like one for your next costume party. We can’t help you with Ye Olde English—we barely passed high school English, and that was with modern words and emojis—but we can definitely help you dress the part in this Plus Size Women's Regal Maiden Costume.Design & DetailsNow, in Ye Olde England, noblewomen’s outfits came in a bunch of separate pieces: the sleeves, bodice, ruff, skirt, and underskirt were all separate!

The inside panel is a lighter purple, while the outer edges are dark, crushed velvet-like material. There’s a beautiful cream trim along the edges and encircling the sleeves in the middle, while there’s also lace trim at the front and along the sleeves.All The World's a Stage!Be sure that all attention is directed right to you in this regal Renaissance look. Whether you’re stepping on the stage at the Globe Theater or just going to a local costume party, you’re sure to be the star of the show!

How Did They Do It?There were many, many times when your tot was a baby, that you simply wondered, "how did parents do it in prehistoric times?" Times when your child was crying all night, or refused to eat, and let's not forget the many joys of teething! Now, we have modern medicine, video baby monitors, and other conveniences. 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. They bound around barefoot, exploring their world at every turn, with their fair share of tantrums, outbursts, and meltdowns along the way. 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.

Nobility! Finery! Passionate and powerful gods! Academic and tempered minds engaging in worthy debate and discourse over complex and important matters! Drunken nights of wild boasting and debauchery! … Well, not all of that seems like it belongs wrapped up into the same perceived culture, but this is the Ancient Rome we know and love and it is completely understandable how so many find themselves seeking to reenact much of the ancient civilization.Whether you have ambitions of high society and the delightful antics that might accompany them or grand designs for a place among the ancient Roman gods, there is certainly one thing that holds true: you must look the part. And that part demands the perfect toga! The illustrious garment is seen worn both by Greek and Roman gods… which is admittedly a bit of a confounding kerfuffle. Are they the same gods interpreted by two different cultures? Two different pantheons who occasionally reside in similar places? Neptune, for one, was a pretty raging guy and rather impossible to deal with on even the best of days, though his Greek counterpart, Poseidon, enjoyed offering council and healing to those he liked… (and tormenting those he didn’t). Well, we might not be able to solve those differences, but we can definitely recognize that they had superb toga taste.And, whether you’re looking at doing a historical reenactment or headed out to the local frat for the perfect toga party, you are going to look fantastic, too, with this Deluxe Men’s Toga costume. The cream colored tunic has a draping front, edged with contrasting black and metallic gold-leaf brocade to give you that exotic and wealthy feel. The sleeves are edged with faux leather and the matching wrist cuffs give you that air of authenticity. Be sure to add the right leather sandals and perhaps a crown of ivy and you’ll be ready to ascend without even needing to debate the deific origins!
Life as a PioneerThe pioneers were brave people. A picturesque life on the prairie included all sorts of dangers. Relentlessly hot summers gave way to brutally cold winters. People would look up from their work when and see a wall of prairie fires headed toward their farm, growing taller with each foot of grass that was consumed. Then there were the terrifying swarms of locusts that not only ate the crops but would devour the clothes and the clothes line if the laundry hadn't been brought in fast enough.So why, after all that trouble, do we remember the days of the pioneer so fondly? It was a time of hope. Those people with limited options who had only known the crowded city streets of coastal cities could find a place where they could watch the sunset and rise on an open horizon. They could build something all their own and truly be free. The communities out there were the definition of tightly knit. And how awesome would it have been to travel by covered wagon?Product DetailsWhen your daughter dresses as in this dress, she'll feel as free as that pioneer girl collecting herbs and roots on the prairie. You can almost imagine the larks singing in the grasses as she spins around in the long skirt.

Win the crowd. Win your freedom.Kids are odd little creatures. They like silly things like SpongeBob SquarePants. And Masha and the Bear, that Russian cartoon on Netflix. But then they also like kind of gross stuff. And we don't just mean slugs, frogs, and mud pies. No, we mean the violent kind of gross stuff.Your kid seems to have a pretty high tolerance for anything gory. Heck, you remember being his age, and not getting squeamish during the original My Bloody Valentine, and Clash of the Titans. Now, he likes to watch stuff like that. He likes to pretend he is a gladiator fighting in the arena. Or one of King Leonidas' brave Spartans. You wish he were into something a little safer than sword fighting. Like LEGOs.But you can't stop him from being interested in the Gladiators. In fact, letting him dress up in this Kid's Gladiator Costume might be just the thing to get it out of his system. Letting him fight his friends might help him move onto other interests. Either that, or he will become the best sword fighter on the block. Challenging all the kids to gladiatorial combat. Your back yard might become a miniature arena. Don't forget to grab a Gladiator Sword and Shield when you order this costume. Every Gladiator worth his salt should have a good sword to win the crowd with. Then maybe he will go back to watching SpongeBob.
A True Freedom FighterFreedom is a powerful thing. Many take it for granted, but Harriet Tubman cherished it. She cherished it so much, that she devoted her entire life to helping people to reclaim freedom that had been taken from them. She risked her life every day to help craft a better world, even when it meant putting her own safety in danger. She established the underground railroad, helped progress civil rights during a rough period in America's history, and she even campaigned for women's suffrage after the turn of the century.If your child wants to showcase the important legacy of Harriet Tubman, then she can wear this Kid's Harriet Tubman Costume, which will help her retell the woman's astounding tale.Design & DetailsThis historical costume for kids is a Made by Us design. That means our costume designers took great care in creating this look based on one of America's greatest heroes. The costume starts with a poplin blouse that features metallic buttons . The poplin skirt features an elastic band in the wais to help provide a comfortable fit. The next tie is made out of chiffon and the gauze shawl can be draped around your child's shoulders as desired. It all combines for a look that will have your child ready to step into the role of one of America's most important freedom fighters.
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!
While everyone searches endlessly for the most shared memes, the most relevant pop culture, and the most timely politics to inspire their costumes this year, wouldn't you rather prop your feet up on a nice, big stone and enjoy the simpler things in life? Like attire made from the coats of wild jungle cats. And fire-roasted squirrel. And we mustn't overlook the dry safety of a hole in the wall....No? Well, even if that's not your thing, we've got the perfect costume if you aim to let some other primal instincts loose this Halloween. Even if squirrel stew somehow doesn't pique your interest, consider the hilarity that could ensue if you made "sorry, it's just my instincts" your sole excuse for all your wild behavior. You ate all the deviled eggs? "Not sorry, I haven't eaten in four moons." You got caught dancing on the host's dining room table? "Sorry, but it's a ritualistic, instinctual thing you modern bipeds wouldn't understand." You are being interrogated over the scent of snacks emanating from your purse and coat pockets? "While you all are hunting each other, someone around here has to be the gatherer." This one-shoulder sheath mini-dress will make a perfect costume for exploring any of the above possibilities—or for forgetting about the complexities of modernity and dancing like the animal you are. We approve wholeheartedly of the aforementioned scenarios, but cannot promise that all your instinctual impulses will be necessarily "lawful." Exercise caution—but not too much, you wild thing.
A good pair of footwear will make or break a costume. Would you take Robin Hood seriously if he were wearing sneakers? No. How about Darth Vader in flip-flops? Definitely not. The footwear should match the outfit. Also consider if your child went to costume parties or the Renaissance Festival. They'll need decent foot wear for traversing the gravel paths, muddy corners, and grassy hills. A decent pair of shoes that look the part are necessary.So when the feet of your child are at stake, look no further than our Child Renaissance Boots. Made of faux suede, they reach about mid-calf and have decorative adjustable straps. Your child's costume will look much more authentic if he/she is wearing something like these Child Renaissance Boots. And they'll probably even feel like a rouge-ish hero too!
When Crime PaysWe'll never suggest that anyone break the law. Honestly, the last that robbery was charming, it was when some guy in tights stole a bunch of gold from a tyrannous monarch. Then he handed his loot to the poor. He might not have gotten rich from his feats but at least he went down in history. And we don't want to be cheesy (we can't help but be cheesy) but isn't that the type of wealth that really matters? We don't want to encourage anyone to break the law but what would you do if you had Robin Hood's skills? Free the animals from a circus? Confront a bank and give everyone their overdraft fees back? We live in more complicated times these days. Maybe you oughta just dress as Robin Hood to let the poor folks know that you're on their side!Product DetailsWhile most costumes don't have usable pockets, this quiver will be there to help you carry your belongings and stay in character at the same time. Slip your arrows into the twenty-two-inch long quiver and slip your wallet into the functional pocket on the outside. Maid Marion is sure to be impressed by your ingenuity!Not Gonna Miss Your ShotHalloween only comes around one time a year and though we can think of other reasons to dress up, you've got to make your Halloween costume count. So, make sure everything's in place with this quiver prop. You've got a shot at having an awesome costume. We know you won't miss it.
What ever are you going to wear to the History Department’s annual Halloween party this year? Last year, you went as Henry V; the year before you did a mean Paul Revere. This year it’s time to take it way, way, WAY back to ancient Egypt. We guess you’re serious about taking gold in the costume competition championship, eh?Ever since you took over teaching Ancient Civ you’ve been wondering what your favorite historical era would truly be like. You know what they say: if you want to know how another person lived, you have to walk a mile in his sandals. Dressed in this historical Egyptian Pharaoh Costume, you can finally follow in the footsteps of those worshiped as if they were gods! Of course, being a pharaoh isn’t all about looking nifty (though that’s a big part of it). If you are serious about defending your kingdom, you’ll need to consider adding a shield and a spear or bow and arrow set before you mount your chariot and gallop off to the gala! But you don’t care about those commoners; you are a pharaoh for crying out loud! Enjoy the 21st century while you can! You can invite Cleo to be your date and your rise to power will surely be great as you ascend the costume competition throne!

Nah, QueenLet's set the record straight. Goddesses are not basic queens. Yes, queens can be righteous, brutal, powerful. But they simply aren't Goddesses. Queens might rule over armies and economies but only a goddess can control the weather and bring endless winter to the earth when someone really peeves her off. Goddess stories of terror, creation, and petty revenge are so good that we can't even find any to tell in this description without getting into trouble with the boss. So if "Yaas, Queen" isn't enough for you. If quivering in fear seems more like your style then this Women's Olympic Empress costume is the one for you!Details & DesignYou'll confidently rule the roost when you slip into this goddess costume. A slim white sheath is cinched with a golden belt and topped with a gold-edged one-shoulder neckline. The shoulder is accented with a printed medallion and a red swath of cloth drapes around your hip in a straight out of the ancient world way. Golden armbands wrap around the arms to top off this costume in just the right way!You've Got the PowerIt might take a little time to get used to all this power you've gained. After all, mortals used to go through perilous hurdles and odysseys to gain an Olympic status. Now, all you need to do is order this costume and the power will be yours! Now you might not be able to send a storm to follow that guy who cut you off in traffic, but finish off your look with a laurel leaf crown and a pair of gladiator sandals and you'll feel like you have all the mortals at your beck and call. Just remember, you don't just have the power of a throne, you've got the power of the heavens!

Bring it all together and you’ve got the foundation of a more perfect outfit that’s sure to stand the test of time.

A real-life heroHeroes come in all shapes and sizes. There’s Superman, who can jump higher than a building and shoot lasers out of his eyes (sometimes… the power sort of comes and goes). There’s Spiderman, who can do some pretty amazing backflips and climb up walls without breaking a nail. There’s Wonder Woman, who wields the Lasso of Truth and, more impressively, never loses her invisible jet.Those heroes are all pretty great, but there’s someone who’s even more heroic. And she really lived, unlike the rest of these comic characters. We’re talking about… Harriet Tubman!Everyone knows the name of Harriet Tubman. This brave African American woman escaped slavery and made 13 missions back into the South to rescue 70 people through the Underground Railroad. But did you know that during the American Civil War, Harriet also served as a nurse, an armed scout and a spy for the Union Army? She was the first woman to lead an armed expedition in the war, and guided the raid at Combahee Ferry that liberated more than 700 enslaved people.

Basically, this woman is a real-life superhero!Product detailsNext time you want to dress up like a true superhero, this exclusive Women's Plus Size Harriet Tubman Costume is exactly what you need. The outfit is 100 percent polyester, with a black woven shirt and black skirt.

Or maybe you have a historical play or reenactment that is in dire need of a real-life superhero. Whatever your reason, all you need is this costume to bring a true human rights hero to life!
This is Sparta!King Leonidas has quite a problem. Greece's greatest enemies, the Persians, are trying to invade! He's going to need to gather up as many of his countrymen as possible to protect his beloved homeland. He knows he'll need the help of the mighty Spartan warriors, but will they be able to crawl over to the battlefield in time to join into the fray? Or will they over-sleep during naptime and miss the whole thing?Leonidas calls his men to sound the alarm and shake the battle rattles, alerting everyone to the critical situation. He wishes he could send out messengers with information about what's going on, but he hasn't learned to write yet, and he's sure the rest of the troops haven't learned to read yet, anyway. This is a terrible predicament! As the Persian forces draw nearer, Leonidas knows time is running out, and he has no idea how to rally his army to victory or even escape himself. With the rest of his options exhausted, there's only one thing left for him to do: He throws himself onto the ground and starts crying as loudly as he can, hoping that his mommy will come fast and fix everything.Product DetailsMake your baby battle-ready with this adorable Infant Silly Spartan Costume. The bodysuit is 100 percent polyester and looks just like a Greek warrior's uniform.

His mom comes and scoops him up off the ground, carrying him away to safety. He will live to fight another day!
Give Me Liberty!Not all revolutionaries were guys in curly wigs and knee breeches. Some were the ones who knew that even though the war with England was over, the battle for women's rights still had to be fought. Susan B. Anthony was one of those trailblazers who knew that there would be no true liberty until women were given the same level of respect, the same opportunites for work, and the same right to join in cultural and political adventures as men. Product DetailsThis exclusive Women's Susan B. Anthony is perfect for courageous women of any generation who know how to stand up for what they believe in. The floor-length black polyester dress will look amazing whether you're sweeping down the street as part of a peaceful protest or standing in front of a podium giving a rousing speech. Black lace ruffles on the full-length sleeves add an elegant touch and complement the white ruffles on the bodice inset and wrist cuffs. A zipper down the back makes this outfit much easier to get into than the millions of buttons that were typical of that era. (You're welcome.) A metal pendant is attached to the white collar. All you need is a comfortable pair of shoes. Your fearless campaigning will have you on your feet a lot! Who Run the World? They might have lived a few generations apart, but we think that Susan and Beyonce would have gotten along great! Honor an amazing civil rights activist with an equally amazing costume.
George Washington. One of the few presidents that everyone can recognize, able to even state that he was our first! We can imagine him with this fist on his chest, sailing across the Delaware River. We can imagine the tales we’ve heard… his wooden teeth and his proud proclamations that he couldn’t dare lie about cutting down the cherry tree. Few know the truth of where he got those wooden teeth!… Ok, so that was probably a lie, but it is hard living up to the high pedestal that the founding fathers left for us. Harder still to stand up to the first President! But, we can try by knowing as many obscure details about the man as possible. For example, he was born with no mortal father! Er, no, that was Merlin. George Washington was born with no middle name, though! He was also a rather exceptional dancer. As there weren’t any video games to play in the 18th century, we were left with few diversions and as a growing man in the social order, he was expected to attend many balls and parties. Finding that he enjoyed it so much, his skill quickly developed and so did his attraction to all the ladies at the dances, many of them attempting to dance at least twice with him!So, while there is a lot to live up to, it is generally accessible! And most of it can be done even without rotting out your teeth, first. You can start by helping your tyke climb into this George Washington costume. The blue polyester jacket has shining buttons in the front and the white cravat shirt just screams the right time period. Black vinyl boot tops make for a reliable look for the old world foot wear. Include a few other accessories, such as the iconic white wig or even the notorious cherry chopping axe!
Redesigning a DynastyIf you could redesign all the wonders of ancient Egypt would you change anything about their design? We realize that it's a bit blasphemous to critique these ancient wonders but that's just because we're looking at history through rose-colored sunglasses. The Sphinx is cool and everything but the thing is, as a half-cat the Sphinx has probably been pretty bored through the centuries. A pharaoh like you could have had his people sculpt a ball of string between the paws of the Sphinx to keep the calm creature calm through the ages. Maybe the Sphinx would have even thrown a few blessings down on your reign. Either way, it would be pretty awesome to head back to ancient times to see the pyramids in all their glistening marble sided glory and float through the green glories of the Nile. But if you're planning on a time travel coup, you're going to need the right costume!Product Details & DesignThis Made-By-Us look is sure to make you look right at home in the palaces of ancient Egypt! Our designers put together this awesome look with a dashing gold, turquoise, and black color scheme. The tunic zips up the back to make transforming into a regal entity easy. The tunic is accented with a gold belt with a geometric panel down the front. You'll also get three gold armbands and the gold and black striped headpiece that will mark you as royalty. The Egyptian PerscriptionIf you're longing for the days of Ancient Egypt, you're sure to love this show-stopping costume! Team up with Nefertiti or Egyptian deities like Anubis or Isis and you'll be able to relive the Egyptian golden era in style. We're so ready to see you roll out your new ideas for the ancient world. It's about time ancient wonders popped up in our new millennium!
Longhouse LifestyleIt's dinner time in the longhouse. The longhouse is lit with a central fire. There are long fur-lined benches along the sides of the thick turf walls. Lamps fueled with cod liver oil and cottongrass also add extra light to the family dinner. The family circles around eating a thick stew of carrots, potatoes, and wild game, dipping bread into the steaming bowl while sipping on buttermilk or mead. When you dress your little one in this fur-accented costume, you can be sure he'll look right at home sipping from a bowl in a long-house. Who knows what other Viking skills he'll pick up. Viking boys were expected to learn to take care of themselves from an early age. Learning to start fires, take care of animals, and handle boats and farm animals was an important part of their schooling. But most of all, they'd have to learn to work together. Because someday, these Viking kids would have to learn to join the shield wall!Product DetailsEven the toughest berserker will have to respect your kiddo when he's wearing this ensemble! The look includes a Nordic print trimmed tunic that's attached to a sharp light blue cloak. When finished off with the matching faux fur trimmed boot toppers, he'll look like a timeless tough guy, ready to set sail.Teamwork makes Schemes WorkIs your kiddo ready to get in touch with his warrior spirit? Or maybe he simply wants to sample dried fish. Whatever his reasons for dressing in costume, you can customize this look with the accessories found in our catalog.
