Susan Be Cruisin'There are some people that are born movers and shakers. They see injustice and cannot rest until they've turned the tide. Susan was one of those people. She attended her first women's suffrage event when she was twenty-eight, near her family's home. Three years went by and she was on a podium herself, delivering her first speech of many. After that, there was no stopping her.After writing articles and speaking publically at various venues, Susan B Anthony was arrested in New York for the first time for casting her ballot in a public election. That didn't stop her, she only got stronger. In fact, she continued to fight for the women's vote until she passed away, thirty-four years later in her late eighties. She didn't live long enough to see women throughout the United States cast their first legal votes, but she didn't stop from the moment she went to her first suffragette meeting until the very end of her days! Design & DetailsThis Susan B Anthony costume was designed to pay tribute to the women's right activist and all the ladies that marched and spoke out beside her. The long dress zips up the back with a ruffle around a high-neck and puffed sleeves. The dress is decorated with a purple and green "Votes for Women" banner as well as a button attached to the breast. Topped off with a matching hat, this ensemble will make you feel connected to Susan B Anthony, one of the biggest movers and shakers in women's rights history!The Right StuffSusan once said, "Men, their rights, and nothing more; women, their rights, and nothing less." You see, what Susan wanted was pretty simple but the people in her time often thought her pursuit was fruitless. Celebrate a woman who knew that she would make a difference when you slip into this Susan B Anthony costume!

THE RULER OF THE THRONEEveryone is always trying to convince everyone else that they have the true right to the throne. They might yammer on about who their father was or how many titles they hold. (Bonus points for extra adjectives.) Perhaps they are just denouncing the current monarchy and proclaiming (rather dangerously in the public of a tavern) that they would be far better on the throne than those currently crowned upon it! But, you know where the real power in the kingdom happens to lay. You watch as everyone comes to you—low-born, noble, knight, and knave alike! It is neither gold nor steel nor red or blue blood that makes the wheel turn in this world. It's the ale, the wine, and especially the secrets that spill in your tavern! With the right words, you could make anything happen! And with a simple, "No, you've had enough," you can set those mighty men to tears! DESIGN & DETAILSShow the world what a true queen looks like when you dress up in this Medieval Pub Wench costume. You won't feel low-born for a second while you're wearing this high-quality look put together by our own in-house team of designers. It includes a square neck top with ruffled trim and elbow-length loose-fit sleeves as well as the look of a green corset. The brown skirt has an apron sewed to the front and includes a tie if you'd like to show some leg. You also have your own version of a crown: a cream, triangle-cut bandana! THAT OTHER THRONEJust remember: if anyone questions your power in your own tavern-house, you have the ability to whisper the right words to lead them to the throne. And, failing that, you can give them a sour drink and keep them on the other one all night!
Deer in Headlights Have you ever seen someone so incredibly attractive that you just felt... frozen? You couldn't move, you almost couldn't blink, and you definitely couldn't manage to stutter that perfect pickup line that you'd practiced a hundred and twenty-seven times in private. That might have been a little like what heroes felt when facing Medusa. She's just so gorgeous that it was almost scary - and the snake hair was literally terrifying, so between the those two attributes, even the most intrepid adventurer was toast. And Medusa had one more statue to add to her collection! Product DetailsYour beauty will reach mythical proportions when you wear this exclusive Stunning Medusa Costume for Women! The deep green pullover minidress is made of comfortable polyester jersey knit and features an incredibly flattering plunging V neckline. The butterfly sleeves are edged in metallic gold ribbon. Decorative metallic green mesh drapes from each shoulder and is anchored by a faux snakeskin epaulet. A metallic gold geometric border rings the skirt's hemline. Fasten the metallic gold snakeskin belt around your waist and crown yourself with the snake-detailed headband! And the Champion Is...The Ancient Greek poets wrote a lot about how awesome heroes like Hercules, Jason, and Achilles were, but how awesome could they really have been compared with Medusa? Sure, they knew how to sling spears and fire bows, but could they turn an enemy to stone with just a single glance? Of course not. Could they turn into a winged horse? Um, no. Medusa wins every time.
You flip up the shield on your helmet and survey the battlefield. It's evident that you and your knights have won this battle. And it shouldn't come as a surprise... the years spent honing your skills at Knights Academy, and the certificate you hold in Master of the Mace Arts mean that you have a formidable reputation that precedes you. As for the rest of your troop? A lot of them may have been peasant folk a week ago, but they hold a lance with just enough strength to repel the enemy. And that's all the time you needed to start clubbing!
RISE, SER GAL-AHAD!When King Arthur is getting ready to launch his final go for the Holy Grail and make that tragic attempt to save the world and bring everyone together for an eternity of bliss, isn't it frustrating that things get all muddled up? You know the story. Jealousy, betrayal, and a whole mess of misunderstandings that even Merlin couldn't unravel. And, now, here we are... waiting for the Once and Future King to try to fix everything a second time.We figure that if only we had the right knights at the Round Table in the first place, we'd have been able to avoid all that mess!

Navigating the UnderworldThe Egyptian underworld is a complicated place. Spirits that passed through would have to navigate all sorts of obstacles including strange creatures, gatekeepers, and a total of 42 divine judges. Smart souls would study the book of the dead to plead their case with the right terms in order to convince the judges to overlook their earthly wrongdoings. After that intimidating ordeal, the souls would then go on to get their hearts weighed against the feather of truth. If all that went well, the souls would be welcomed into the afterlife by Osiris. Of course, only royalty went through this process with Anubis by their side. So, this year, if you're heading to the Egyptian underworld as a mummy, make sure you're treated like a king and bring this Anubis staff with you. A little swagger goes a long way in the realm of the dead!Product DetailsPerfect for a range of ancient Egyptian costumes, this Anubis staff is molded with all sorts of eerie details. The staff is wrapped with an eerie bandage texture. Anubis's head tops the staff and has a striped Pharaoh headpiece. With the face of a jackal, the god has alert, perky ears and a dignified face, ready to help you through all the ups and downs of mummy life.
Stone Cold LegendMedusa gets a bad rap. Yes, her head of snakes turns men into stone with one look. But can we revisit why she kept on running into guys again? She wasn't hunting down innocent men in bookstores. Imagine her laughing after she pulled a "Made you look" and left a clutch of bookish granite statues behind. That's a pretty funny image, but it wasn't her style. She tried to stay far, far away from all humanity. Those Greek soldiers just couldn't leave a cursed demi-goddess alone when she created a challenge fit for a hero. So, yeah. There were casualties. But we would argue that if you go hunting for a head of snakes, you shouldn't go crying blaming a demi-goddess when you turn into a blob of rock!Design & DetailsWear your crown of snakes with pride when you slip on this Medusa headband. The snakes are adjustable with a shiny scale pattern on the surface. The gold eyes and forked tongues will make your hairdo look like a living legend. Want to fully transform into your Medusa form? Pair this snake headband with one of our elegant Greek or Roman goddess costumes to bring this ancient myth to life!
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.
Steampunk is many things: a fashion statement, a literary genre, an attitude. And while it may seem like just another passing fad, those in the know understand that this lifestyle will always be a thing of the past – and that’s a good thing.We’ve got a staff full of the pop and counter-culture obsessed, so steampunk has been on our radars for a long time. But for the uninitiated, Steampunk embraces the simplicity of pre-industrial revolution technologies, such as steam power, while at the same time taking on a beautifully modern design aesthetic. This makes for a look that is both retro and modern, which makes it uniquely stylish.This women’s steampunk costume will help you stand out in a crowd this Halloween by showing off that modern sophistication through retro details. The women’s costume includes a dress that has Hook and Loop fastener tabs in the back for a secure fit. The bodice, sleeves, and yoke of the costume are all made of brown velvet for a classic yet elegant look. The dress has cream interlock ruffes at the edges of the sleeves as well as faux suede side panels and an interlock center panel on the bodice. The keyhole cutout below the high, ruffled collar gives it an added bit of detail. The skirt of the dress has an asymmetric hemline that is longer in the back for fuller coverage. The included faux leather buckled straps go across the wrists of brown velvet gloves. The foam top hat never loses its shape and has a brown velvet cover to match the rest of the look. The final touch is the plastic goggles that have an elastic band for a secure and comfortable fit. Add a pair of sexy high heeled boots for a complete look that’s out of this time period!

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!?

Domine Dirige NosAre you the kind of person who would fight with honor, honesty, valor, and loyalty? Would you protect the weak, and defenseless? How about eschew unfairness, meanness, and deceit? The kind of person who would speak the truth at all times? Yeah? Well then, you might have what it takes to be a knight.In the time of knights and kings, when matters of state were dealt with on the battlefield not in the House of Representatives, there needed to be something to keep knights from going rogue. From using their power to overthrow the king, or suppress their subjects. And that was the Code of Chivalry.

The bow of your ship cuts a sharp cold line in the blue-gray sea. It's been almost a year since you've been home and you can almost see it now. The pine trees interrupt the horizon line and the current changes as you head for the bay. You and the crew are coming home with plenty of loot, there will a grand celebration in the mead hall tonight. Sometimes you miss the simple village life but there is nothing you'd rather do than raid with the rest of your crew. There's no better life than the life of a shield maiden. Why do we always picture Viking women with two tightly braided plaits? It's probably because they were too busy to come up with any other styles and keeping their hair out of the way was paramount. Those busy women were raising children by dangerous fjords, drying fish, spinning wool, and sometimes even participating in raids. We'd like to see the class bully try yanking the hair of a Viking girl, he would never want to see a pigtail again.

WHO MIGHT YOU BE?The best part of being in a medieval world is that you could be anyone. Of course, that's also part of what makes the whole thing just a little scary.

Can Do Kind Of GalThe World War Two effort involved everyone. It wasn't just about the men fighting the battles, people back home needed to contribute. Old women took apart clothing to sew and knit bandages, mittens, and warm socks for the soldiers on the front. Children harvested milkweed for life jackets. Families saved fat drippings to make soap for the folks abroad. Stepping up was a matter of civic duty. So when it came to building ships, preparing artillery, and riveting together planes, women proudly stepped up to the plate!

That means ensuring folks contribute their fair share to the pot luck; that means cracking down on the Jim Halperts of the world, who have for too long hid behind loopholes in the costume code and brought mere vending machine fare to the snack table; that means, finally, sharing with our fellow workers an honest accounting of our wages and benefits, so all our brothers and sisters at the costume party are afforded a reasonable standard of living!Design & DetailsThis is a pivotal moment.

You've got Spear ItIf you've ever fancied yourself as a fierce warrior, then chances are, you've been on the hunt for a good weapon. Daggers are nice, but they lack range (and reach is very important when facing foes at close range)! Axes are nice, but they're a little to cleave-y for some. Those can also be a little hard to wield for anyone whose skills with weapons aren't as strong as their fierce attitude. No, what you need is a weapon that's as ancient as humanity itself.

These Old World Sandals look like something that your grandpa's grandpa would have worn. Back in the day, Socrates would walk the streets of Athens wearing something like these. But, we’re not sure you’ve heard: old-school is IN. Young people all over Brooklyn want to wear what your grandpa’s grandpa wore.

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.

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!
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!

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.
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?"
If you've noticed your child has been spending copious amounts of time in the yard with a pickax, or if they've got a grey wispy beard coming in, and if you ask them how their day went and they always reply, "Get 'way me mine, Missy, I'm on da verge a GOLD, here!"

Yep, he'll soon learn that there's no gold in the backyard, but he'll sure look like he's ready to hit the mother lode in this exclusive costume.
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!

Kids always think that they are invulnerable and that can make for a pretty intimidating life for those of us who are obliged to keep them from suffering any lasting harm. Now, many of us are alright with the idea that they’ll head out and scuff a knee or even get a bit of a black lip in the midst of their play. It builds up a bit of an immune system and also helps to teach them some practical lessons about personal safety while also letting them actually live out their lives. Still, there are limits to what we’re willing to let them expose themselves towards!So, when we noticed that there was a rather boisterous knight hanging around the neighborhood, offering to duel a bunch of the residents in order to gain passage down the sidewalk, alley, or once even to get inside the bagel shoppe, we had a few concerns. Fortunately, the knight wasn’t too much of a struggle to defeat… excepting that he just kept coming back and seemed to suffer no pause from any damage that he suffered. It immediately made us all realize that this guy was going to teach our tykes that they were truly immortal… even if it meant losing a couple limbs! Flesh wound, our butts!So, we are getting ahead of this fiasco by giving you the opportunity to educate your tykes on the amazing Black Knight yourselves. This costume is a complete and near historic armor set including a foam fronted shirt with a silver mesh collar and sleeves to imitate chain mail and a foam helmet that fastens by Hook and Loop fastener and covers the whole head. The foam armaments continue, including gauntlets, boot tops, knee guards, and the face grille can optionally cover the face or be left open. A bright red cape finishes off the look, though you can accessorize with a weapon and shield for the full package. With all this armor, your tyke will be truly protected, though we still recommend avoiding blocking the paths of certain kings.

Not So Fast, Prince John Once upon a time, jolly old England wasn't so jolly anymore. Good King Richard was off fighting the Crusades, and while he was gone, his evil brother Prince John stepped in to rule the country with a greedy hand. His idea of public reform was "Get the Sheriff of Nottingham to collect ALLLL the taxes," which had the general public feeling a little resentful, to say the least. But what he didn't count on was a vigilante hero whose main goal was to take care of the general public and have a hilariously fun time doing it. Product DetailsLook every inch the dashing outlaw in this exclusive Deluxe Robin Hood Costume for Men! The long tunic is designed to look like a sleeveless vest worn over long-sleeved, cream-colored shirt.

Get your own band of Merry Men together to form a group costume or be the star of your own legend thanks to this amazing costume!
Angel of the BattlefieldLife as a soldier in the Civil War was pretty brutal. The conditions were awful. Any injury could be life-threatening and medical care was scant. With these dismal circumstances, it's no wonder that the capable Clara Barton was known as the angel of the battlefield! She would go out to distribute life-saving care, washing wounds, changing bandages, offering water and soup to the miserable soldiers in the muck and smoke. Her courage on the battlefield was famous. This led the way to make sure women could take on the role of battlefield nurse with an element of respect. After the war, Ms. Barton traveled to Switzerland, learning about all the good the European Red Cross was doing. She came home determined to open an American sector of The Red Cross. She worked with fellow famous friends such as Fredrick Douglas to make her vision a reality.
