THE LEGENDE OF THE MAIDEN FAYREThere are few things more magical than the idea of whisking back to the past and living out a dream of a medieval fantasy. About the only thing that can compare is bringing your kiddo along for the ride. Just imagine the tale that you both will craft. Picture the young lass: a noble princess whose words can tame the ferocious dragon; a crafty maiden who can turn an outlaw into a hero; or perhaps the faerie queen who is ready to brandish bow and blade, herself! The joy of the Renaissance is in reinvention, so coming up with the mighty tale of your adorable actor is going to be half the fun of your happy holiday. The other half is going to be acting it all out! Your tyke will need to know all the period performance tricks. The curtsy, the slow and stately shuffle of the pavane dance, the haute of the galliard...DESIGN & DETAILSFortunately, with all the fun of old world acts, you still won't have to worry too much about being in style. Our team of designers practically live at the Renaissance Festival and have this exclusive Maiden Costume that will have your kid feeling like a true to life fairy princess. This maroon dress is full-length and features a velvet overdress with brocade inset, oversized sleeves and golden trim at an empire waist. The golden crown brings this from a lovely look to an exquisite medieval marvel or royal Renaissance wear! A LOVELY YOUNG NOBLEWhen it is time to let the fantasy of the Renaissance become a reality, there's only one way to go for a child of yours. This noble Maiden Costume assures that your tyke will not only be loving the look the whole time but will be making a lasting memory of the time she was crowned 'Your Majesty!'
The Vikings were known for grit, fearlessness, and exploration; they were not known for having skilled barbers or hairdressers. So as a result, they sometimes looked a bit shaggy. Men braided their beards to keep them tidy. But it turns out that the shaggy, unkempt look was a good thing, because it made their warriors look really fierce when they faced their enemies! Now, we have modern technology and tools to keep ourselves looking neat and clean. Can you imagine showing up for your Monday morning All Hands meeting with beard braids? (Actually, that could be kind of fun!) Lucky for you, you can get that ideal Viking look for your costume without depriving your barber of income when you wear this Blonde Viking Wig, Beard and Mustache. It looks wild and ready to set sail on an adventure beneath a horned helmet for Halloween!
To the modern eye, the ancient Greek pantheon might look a little silly decked out in those archaic robes. But when your to-do list includes managing the harvest, selectively meddling in the affairs of mortals, and getting back at Hades for slipping a whoopee cushion onto the Throne of Zeus, you need an outfit that offers plenty of comfort and a full range of motion. And nothing compares to this tried-and-true traditional look for inspiring devotion and culling favor!Just make sure your costume meets divine standards for craftsmanship and quality, like this Plus Size Olympic Goddess Costume. Because there's a pretty strict dress code on Mt. Olympus these days, thanks to the steady stream of mortals who think they can cut holes in a pillowcase, sneak up to the summit, and pretend they'd been around since the age of the Titans. You're not fooling anybody, guys! Not unless you have a really great outfit!And if you manage to join the ranks of the other great-looking humans who have successfully infiltrated the gods' inner circle, try not to go crazy with all of that power, okay? Because getting zapped by lightning or having frogs rain from the sky is not what we had in mind when we showed you this excellent costume. We just thought you might want to take this classic look to an upcoming party, or immerse yourself in some classical literature by slipping into some more appropriate attire. We really don't want to have to beg for mercy. Not again!
Long before there were awesome things to watch on modern TV, like pro wrestling, epic summer movies, and binge-able television shows, people had to get creative to stay entertained. Otherwise, they might have died of boredom, which considering how much easier it was to kick the bucket in ancient times, was probably a legit possibility. However, a citizen in Ancient Rome could always take a trip to the local arena to see a gladiator fight, which would liven up a dull afternoon in no time! Though back in those days, if your attention couldn't even be held by watching two dudes in flashy armor get into a bloody brawl, you could test your prowess by stepping into the arena, yourself. It wouldn't be our first choice for entertainment (since gladiators had notoriously short careers...), but if you have an unquenchable thirst for action, a life in the arena might be your ticket to glory!In the modern age, battling to the death for sport is usually frowned upon. But when you're wearing this Plus Size Roman Gladiator Costume, you'll have the look of a fearless ancient warrior, so you can fight for honor in a new type of arena. Yes, we're talking about costume contests, which aren't nearly as gruesome as classic gladiator fights, but can be just as ruthless, and the stakes just as high! This striking costume features nearly everything you'll need to get the edge over your opponents, including foam and faux suede leather-like armor pieces. With this fierce, ancient style aiding your quest for glory, you'll be the undisputed champion of the costume contest colosseum!
The Ancient Greeks certainly had style nailed down. Nobility! Finery! Passionate and powerful gods! Nights of wild boasting and debauchery! Whether you have ambitions of high society and the delightful antics that might accompany them or grand designs for a place among the ancient gods, there is certainly one thing that holds true: you must look the part. Our modern day has well remembered this and stolen what we can of the ancient times. You’ve heard of the epic toga parties, no doubt? Well, they might brush against some of the style, but they’re still missing the class!But, take that ancient toga and add in a bit of refinement, some properly placed golden sashes, and a pose that is ready to command whole legions and you quickly are finding yourself in the territory of the divine, whether you are a mortal, yet powerful queen of many or have ascended into the highest peaks of Mount Olympus to claim one of the golden thrones as a goddess. The trouble is figuring which you’d prefer. It seems like a silly question: queen or goddess? Who would possibly choose to give up godhood!? But, those ancient Greek gods are a tough lot! Constantly fighting over even minor things and getting themselves into a ton of trouble. Maybe it’d be easier to simply have to deal with mortal affairs!The choice can be yours with this Spartan Queen costume. Don’t let the name fool you, because this backless white halter-style dress could be divine just on its own! But, add a ribbon band below the bust with golden detailing, another at your waist, and then a swath of crisscrossing gleaming white fabric over a floor-length skirt and you have a gown that breaks the confines of time itself. Choose the right accessories, including a goddess wig, golden armbands, or a gold leaf circlet and you could tell Zeus it is time to step down and let reign the first Goddess Queen!
Ancient HeroesWhen we think of heroes, a number of names come rushing to the mind, but only a few of them have been spoken of in as many incarnations as the mighty half-god of Greek mythology, Hercules! Whether he’s an animated youngster eager to prove himself to his fuzzy mentor or a long-haired and suave friend-to-all on a legendary adventure, the guy has it all! Strength, a winning smile, notorious combat proficiencies, and… did we mention half-god? Hard to compete with that one!Sure, several of the ancient tales of Hercules don’t have the best of beginnings… or endings, honestly, but you have to give credit to a guy who can keep his chin up despite having a rather grumpy step-mother and uncle full of underworld angst. Between tackling ferocious monsters birthed from Echidna and winning the heart of a few Grecian lasses, Hercules has countless tales to be told.Product DetailsThis year, the stories can continue when you don your kiddo in this Child Hercules Costume. A comfortable white pullover tunic starts the look and you can armor your child up, next, with the foam body armor and attached cape. You won’t have to spend all day gearing your kid up, either, thanks to an easy fabric tie in the back of the armor. (Now, why didn’t the ancient Greeks think of that!?) Warrior-like armbands and leg guards close with Hook and Loop fastener and ensure that your child will be protected from all manner of monsters, but it might be a good idea to pick up a nice sword and lion-emblazoned shield just to make the beasties think twice about trying your demigod! The only question that remains is to figure out which of the kiddo’s parents is the god!
When you're getting behind the wheel of your car do you sometimes wish that you were rigging up your chariot? Are you bored with the modern day to day? We get it. What are our invisible swear systems to the glorious megaliths of the aquafers? Our daily t-shirts and jeans have nothing on the comfort of the toga. The layered draping outfits fit great on everyone, no matter where their problem zones might be hiding. No wonder the Romans invented pizza! Now, we can't transport you back to a time when people dined laying on their sides and worshipped the God of wine but we can make your Roman garb game strong! This eye-catching helmet would make the Trojans wish they had helmet's this slick. Sure, it won't do much to protect you from an oncoming spear but it'll really take your toga party to the next level! The golden surface forms a sweet back panel and side guard. Centered with a show stopping mow hawk, you'll feel like Caesar's right-hand man!
When you're the ruler of the greatest ancient empire on the Nile river, you don't have to worry about what anything costs. Your only concern is keeping up with the most fabulous fashion of the time. You had to make sure everything was adorned in gorgeous jewels, flaked in gold, or made of the most luxurious Egyptian linens. Everything was at your fingertips as far as your great river would stretch. With ruling all of those people, we suppose you had earned it though. Maybe that and a few statues of yourself dotting the riverbanks. A pyramid just for you? So it shall be written, so it shall be done! The biggest proof of your power though, was the great headdress adorning you as a king of Europe would wear a crown. We understand that your royalty hasn't quite been recognized yet, but we know as well as you do that it's only a matter of time before this occurs. While your waiting, this fantastic King Tut headband will be a fantastic place holder to prepare you for the real deal.
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.

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. It's a stuffed version, and it comes with this exclusive ensemble, which was designed in our very costume studio, where high-end materials and attention to detail are our signatures. Alongside the stuffed "wooden" club, this package comes with the brown and faux-fur tunic, which is styled to look like a long, plain cloth top with an animal pelt placed over it. It's accented by the belt, which holds a faux bone. Matching faux-fur wrist cuffs complete the look. Well Done, YouSo, why not use Halloween as a way to celebrate the fact that you all made it into toddlerhood? Not to mention, revel in how absolutely adorable your kiddo looks decked out for the Stone Age in this costume. It's simply precious!
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!"
Are you ready to rule the Viking horde?

The fur shawl is sure to let everyone know that you still know how to kick butt, but with elegant brocade trim, nordic inspired jewelry, and a stunning red sash to finish off the ensemble, we won't blame you if you just want to sit back in the lap of luxury and let the berserkers and shieldmaidens do all of the dirty work for you.This HalloweenCostumes.com exclusive dress is made and designed right here by us, and if we may say so, it's a pretty good way to fulfill any Viking dreams you may have. Whether you're planning a historical reenactment or just want to be one of your favorite historical characters, this costume will have you ready to rule the great hall... with a huge party!

Ax us no questions and we'll tell you no liesWe went back in time and polled a Viking village from the sixteenth century about their preferred battle weapons. Honestly, it didn't go very well because the people we elected to go in and take the poll were taken captive in an instant. The Viking warriors took their tablets, their sunglasses, and raincoats. The little warrior kids even snatched Anthony's pocket protector. So if an anthropologist discovers what looks like the first ancient Best Buy in Northern Norway, they can give us a call and hear the story. We did get an answer, by the way. Anthony ended up charming his way into the community by breaking out his early nineties rap routine. Lucky for our data, he had grown up as a beatboxing nerd. Once he had warmed them up the Viking warriors let him know that the two-handed ax is the only way to go when it comes to heading into battle. Product DetailsYou'll love the hand-made look of this ax. The handle is long and has a warm color. The ax head is silver with Nordic details stamped into the metallic finish. Big, Bad, and Battle-readyWhether you're dressing up for Halloween or you're heading out for LARPing, this ax will make you feel ready for the shield wall. It'll pair well with any of our Viking costumes. Plus, as all the other Viking's know, the two-handed ax is the only way to go!
Your son probably dreams of ascending the social hierarchy to knighthood, saving an imperiled kingdom, and living on for time immemorial in cherished tales of bravery, chivalry, and honor. Wow, that's great—what a kid. But none of us can achieve all that at the flip of a turkey leg, you know?We all have to start somewhere, and it's a noble thing to recognize that earlier rather than later. The path to a gilded set of armor, a majestic steed, and a lance of one's own often begins with a plank of wood, some rocks, and an imagination. And what better way to foster that imagination—at the Renaissance Festival or elsewhere—in a set of garments that hearkens back to the good ol' days, where playing a game of chicken on a horse with a pointy beam was the preferred spectator sport. Pondering how this could be in our Boys Renaissance Squire Costume might just get those imaginative juices in your little adventurer flowing!This period-authentic costume (minus the polyester and elastic) will have your squire ready to attend you at the joust, feast on mutton after, and awe at those sword-wielding knights and pirates all the while. If you aren't familiar with Arya Stark of Game of Thrones or Inigo Montoya of The Princess Bride, here's a small spoiler: they are really, really cool—and they wore similar attire. Coincidence? We think not. Now's your chance to equip your little hero with the garb necessary for his rags-to-royalty story to begin!

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.

Mystery at Grimshaw HallThe life of a noble maiden is usually pretty quiet. Days were spent sewing and wandering through the gardens and evenings were spent in the hall, listening to the harpsichord. That's what Lizbeth was expecting when she came to live in Grimshaw Hall. But the first night, she heard someone crying from the floor above her chamber. When she asked, her lady's maid insisted that she couldn't hear anything. A week later, she heard the sound again. This time she went to investigate. Bringing along her lady's maid, she crept along the dark halls of the manor. They snuck along the staircase, her lady's maid pulling at her skirts, asking to turn back before every corner. When they got to a locked door at the end of the... what? Oh, we're supposed to be describing this costume rather than writing a historic novel? Oh, sorry, we just got swept up in the romance of this historical costume!Design & DetailsThis gorgeous historical gown was designed by our in-house creative team.

DEATH WAS NEVER SO CUTEIf you ever wondered what the afterlife was like and got that slight pang of fear that goes shooting up your spine, well, we can completely understand that! The unknown is pretty scary. Even the word itself sounds pretty ominous. It probably didn't help that the ancient Egyptians decided to say that Death was like a shrouded black dog that hovered over you, ready to judge your soul against the weight of a feather or clunk you with his golden staff! But, who are we to say that isn't what death looks like? Frankly, a cute black pupper is a good deal easier to deal with than the phantom robe with a slashing scythe. Still, we can probably do better. We can make that image just a little, oh, we dunno... cuter? And, as everyone knows, tiny things are adorable! So, let's take that giant, scary Anubis and shrink him down into kiddo size and, zap, we've got a totally inviting deity of death to help soothe our fears. DESIGN & DETAILSTake the first step to afterlife comfort when you give your child this kid's Anubis costume. It comes with the black mask that features tall dog ears & eye holes, and a shining striped hood. The collar is a shiny gold wrap that covers the top portion of their chest. The shirt is a tight long-sleeved black jersey and the pants have puffy harem-style legs. The sash and belt feature the same gold of the headpiece with ancient Egyptian hieroglyph styled markings. The attached long teal cape and golden cuffs make your little death god ready for work! BOUND FOR ETERNITYAnubis was supposedly bound for all times to watch over the underworld and evaluate every soul that passed through his domain. We know that's a lot of work for a first-time deity, so we've worked out that your kiddos will only have to look the part until they're ready to tackle the big stuff. But, they're going to feel truly mighty in this Anubis look, either way!
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!

True Old School CoolHistory is cool. We know, we know. Some people think it's actually not cool to think that, but just look at all of the awesome stuff Ben Franklin did during his lifetime! Let's see... first, there are the countless inventions that he created, like the Franklin stove that helped keep people warm during winter. Then, there are bifocals, which are largely unchanged from his design to this today. If that wasn't enough, the dude even created his own instrument called the glass armonica! Oh, and did we mention that he helped write the America Declaration of Independence? Yeah, Ben Franklin was like the Elon Musk of his time... except Ben started a brand new country, held the title as the first Postmaster General of the United States, and earned his place on the hundred dollar bill!If that's not cool, we don't know what is. That's also why we happen to think that this Boy's Colonial Benjamin Franklin Costume is one of the coolest costumes a kid can wear!Design & DetailsThis historical costume is based on one of the greatest figures in American history! Our costume designers took care to create a look that was befitting of the Founding Father, so they studied classic portraits of Ben. This costume is what they came up with!

The matching pants are also brown and have an elastic waistband for fitting. Finally, the costume also comes with a cravat to complete the look. To get the look seen in the image, be sure to check out our wig, socks, shoe buckles and glasses to finish off the look (all of which are sold separately).Historic HeroIf your child thinks history is cool, then Ben is his man!

Imagine you are hard at work running your busy Renaissance-era tavern, pouring ale and slinging stew for weary travelers and local regulars. Do you picture yourself wearing an elegant gown, with pretty slippers and streamers in your hair? Or, would you rather be decked out in this Tavern Maiden Costume, and show everyone how to really have a good time?If you're like us, most of our knowledge of Renaissance times comes from faires and movies based on Shakespeare plays. These probably aren't the most historically accurate sources, but they sure paint a fun scene, and one of the staples of this scene is the humble tavern. Taverns seem to be where all the good stuff happened back then. It's where you went for food, drink, warmth, news, and to look for work. And in many taverns, there was a tough talking gal running the show. She kept things from getting too rowdy, and also made sure everyone had a drink in their hand and a room for the night. Well, if they had coin to spare, that is.This Renaissance-inspired costume is a fun way to step into the part of a tavern keeper, or many other roles from "ye olde times." The earthy and warm colored dress and corset would look right at home in an old village full of hardworking people who know how to let their hair down. Just slip on a pair of sturdy, sassy boots, and you'll be all ready to handle tonight's crowd at your imaginary tavern from earlier, or to let your imagination run wild at the Renaissance Festival!
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.
Living HistoryThe Revolutionary War was such a notable moment in history that the memories still survive to this day.

How many times have you gone for a hike into the woods and heard a few too many bird calls or other animal sounds and wondered for just a split second if you might have wandered into the amazing Sherwood Forest? Whether we’re talking about the prince of thieves who bounds in tights with his other incanting merry men, the dark and brooding archer who faces a seemingly endless line of corruption thanks to the usurping prince and his mean-spirited sheriff, or even the high-spirited and fox-faced animated hero to the peasants, we’re always fortunate to know that Robin of Locksley isn’t far away! And, it is worth noting that Robin told us long ago what a fox says: he makes bird calls!But, as fascinating and adventurous as Robin might be, it is his love who has our hearts! Maid Marion is a lass that we’d expect should be remaining comfortable behind stone walls awaiting the arrival of her uncle and rightful King Richard to return. But, no!

The Brightest BulbIt's no secret that Thomas Edison was a clever fellow. He invented the phonograph, which sparked the first music recordings on vinyl records. He improved the incandescent light bulb, giving light to the entire world. He also invented alkaline batteries that could be used in all sorts of portable gadgets, along with some of the first movie cameras. Why, we owe most of our modern lives to Edison. Movies, recorded music, light... it's all stuff we use every day! We often wonder who the next great inventor will be. All it takes is some wits and a little bit of ingenuity.

Temporal DaydreamsDo you ever think about time travel? We do. We probably spend WAY more time thinking about that sort of thing than we should. Maybe we read too many adventure books about the subject. You know the type. A seemingly average woman gets swept through time to a few hundred years in the past. She must figure out a way to travel back to her time, all while getting wrapped up in political intrigue and colonial adventures with her new friends from the past. She might even strike up a romance with some dashing figure from the past... it sounds so exhilarating!Of course, that never happens in real life. Or at least, we've never heard of it happening, but we like to pretend. It's part of the whole reason we got into the costuming gig. Costumes let you embark upon some pretty marvelous journeys. Through the power of costume, you can create a little time-jumping adventure of your own, even if you're just roleplaying the whole thing. Who knows! When you put on this Colonial Village Woman Costume, you might just get sucked into some Jamestown drama!Product DetailsThis historical costume is a plus size outfit that recreates the look of the colonial days. It comes with a simple brown dress that you can wear as you walk through the village. The off-white apron around the waist will have you ready to tend to your daily chores, while the shawl around the shoulders puts the finishing touch to the outfit. The costume also comes with a cap that fits around your head with an elastic band.Make Your Own Historical StoryWhether you long for a historical story of your own or you just want to reenact the early colonial American days, this Colonial Village Woman Costume will help you get into character.
Don't Make Eye ContactThis might sound weird, but have you ever been at a museum or in a decorated garden and felt as though the statues were... watching you? They seem lifeless and vacant, but you could have sworn you felt eyes on the back of your neck before you turned to look. Also, that statue was farther away before, wasn't it? Oh, dear. This might not be good. Product DetailsYou'll be an unsettling sight in this exclusive Scary Sullen Statue Mask for Adults! The unisex silvery mask conceals your entire head and most of your neck. It's molded to look like a blank-faced statue with carved hair. Eye holes allow you to (sort of) see where you're going. So Much Yikes Landscaping usually makes home property value go up, but we doubt that this mask would have the same effect. If you stood in someone's yard, people might assume that Medusa lives there, or that the statue uprising has finally begun. It was bound to happen someday.
Prehistoric FashionistaWho says living in a cave means you don't know anything about style?! In our experience, cave-dwelling fashionistas are actually a little ahead of the curve, since they can get their hands on pretty exotic furs and do some snazzy things with bones and claws and all that good stuff. Your little one will have a blast from the past (the extreme past) dressing up in this Cave Girl Cutie Costume for her prehistoric Halloween shenanigans!Being a Stone Age girl is far from easy, especially during woolly mammoth migration season, or when it's time to trim your pet saber tooth tiger's claws. And it's not as if you can just hit a drive-thru whenever you're craving a breakfast burrito. You totally have to sneak into a dinosaur nest and snag some eggs first, and that's assuming you also have all the other ingredients and a fire to cook them on. To us, that alone almost makes being a cave girl sound terrible, but then we see chic Neolithic outfits like this woolly dress, and we're back on board!Product DetailsThis cute costume comes with everything she needs to transform into a really cool cave kid. The leopard print dress features jagged hemlines to look she made it with her bare hands, and it looks awesome with the faux fur vest and matching boot tops. The bony hair bow tops off this wild, very vintage style, and will show everyone how cave kids know a thing or two about looking cool!Cave Girl CostumeBefore there was social media, texting, and long before there was Facetime, there was the stone age. Even though they couldn't instantly connect with friends and know what's happening around the world at any given moment, we think that the cave people knew a few things about fashion that we can still use to this day. This Cave Girl costume proves just that!
Battle isn't all about offense there, buster. You might think you can charge into the fray, wielding nothing but your deadly barbarian axe of slaying, but what happens when there's warrior on the other side of the battlefield wielding the same axe?

So, whether you're headed into pretend battles, or you just want to look like a glorious Valkyrie, then this shield is exactly what you want in your off-hand.

Ancient Egypt had the great pharaohs and look at all of the amazing things that they accomplished! They created a visually stunning form of written language in the form of hieroglyphics.

It's Toga TimeYou know, some kids just don't want to learn about history. After all, a lot of historical figures look pretty stuffy and some of them wear those white powdery wigs that make them look pretty boring. Not the Ancient Greeks! They're a ton more fun than many of those boring old figures from history.The Greeks had a rich history of powerful gods and goddesses, courageous heroes like Hercules, and last but not least, some really comfy and cool attire. Yes, the Greek toga is not only fun to wear, but it's also comfortable and gives any child the look of a Greek god! Your child might just enjoy learning about history a little more when they wear this kid's Grecian toga costume.

Waiting for StyleIt's easy to tire oneself of modern technology -- and style. We totally get it. Sometimes even state-of-the-art gadgets and gizmos look like cheap flashy junk. If you're the type of gal that prefers brass, gears, and leather over plastic, LCDs, and wi-fi, then this Burgundy Steampunk Hat is just the accessory you need to reinvigorate your wardrobe before your next retro adventure!What exactly makes something “steampunk?" A lot of times, it's something that you just know when you see it, but there's definitely more to making something steampunk than slapping some valves on it and putting it on board a zeppelin. It's a unique style that fuses Victorian Era fashion and sensibility with the loud, gritty, and dangerous look of the Industrial Revolution, which makes everything appear more exciting! For instance, would you want to drive your boring old car to work everyday if you could pilot a “pneumatic powered quad-wheeled auto-buggy” instead? Even though those are basically the same things, the second one sounds much cooler!Design & DetailsSame goes for this Burgundy Steampunk Hat, whose lacing, feathers, tulle wrap, and beaded details makes it nothing if not cool. The goggles have an elastic band to secure them to the hat, and the one size fits most noggins! Careful up there in the sky, adventurer -- we hear that while the tech has advanced in Steampunkland, the safety measures haven't.
LITTLE SISTER GOES BIGTIMEThe myth of the Gorgons goes largely unknown by many, despite the fact that just about everyone has heard of Medusa. Did you know that Medusa is just one sister among a trio? She's the youngest gal of the three serpent-haired and cursed aquatic sisters who could turn mortals to stone with just a gaze. While Stheno and Euryale might have been immortal, it was only Medusa that made the history books! Talk about a little sister with things to do. Unfortunately, the youngest Gorgon sister doesn't have much happiness to her tale. Cursed by Athena for no good reason, Medusa became a horrible monster that everyone feared... at least until another demigod showed up with a whole bunch of blessed divine artifacts and beheaded her! Of course, we're talking about a time of magic and mystery. And now is the time to rewrite some of that story! DESIGN & DETAILSDespite it being really tough to create a design based off a gal that is impossible to look at, our designers have worked a miracle and created this legendary look. Our exclusive Deluxe Medusa Costume is a green and scale-printed bodysuit that will give you the serpentine sway that tempts all mortals. It has the added detail of extending along your hand with a ring sleeve. The bronze halter dress drapes around your hips with a long Grecian drape between your legs. The final detail is a luxurious green faux gem brooch that matches the scales. Pick up a serpent wig or detailed bow and take your revenge on Perseus and Athena! A PETRIFYING POSEWhen you are garbed up as this glorious Gorgon, know that the striking the right pose may stiffen folks into stone. You'll want to practice this with care to make sure it doesn't happen by accident because there aren't many ways to fix the cursed power of this exclusive Medusa Costume.
