What the "L"When you're a chess piece, the stakes are high. There aren't that many pieces out there on the board and all the pieces have to play their part just right. Pawns hop forward one step unless it's their first move of the game. The bishops zoom diagonally along however many squares they need to. The queen of each side is the boss of the chessboard, moving however she wants as long as she doesn't jump any squares. And the knights? Well, the knights know how to move. They move in an L shape to protect their side from any pieces that might cause trouble in their checkered kingdom. Product Details Are you ready to take on your knighthood? This headpiece allows you to break out of your "L" mold. The foam helmet has a soft top and a stiff visor textured to look like armor a jouster would wear. The faceguard fastens down the front with a strip of hook and loop fastener. A size adjuster on the interior allows this helmet to be used with different sizes and ages. Whether you're taking a seat at the round table or protecting the King on a chessboard, this helmet will allow you to take on the role of knight with confidence!
Flying High Once upon a time, the skies were empty of all but bird travelers. Horse-drawn buggies or huge sailing ships were the only way to get where you wanted to go. But then a pair of brothers with funny mustaches proved that people really could learn to fly, and then it was almost ineviatable that a plucky lady with plenty of courage and a love for the wide-open sky showed that women could fly just as well as men. She paved the way for many more to come! Product DetailsBreak boundaries and make your mark on aviation forever when you wear your exclusive Girl's Deluxe Amelia Earhart Toddler Costume! The brown faux leather top zips up the front and is designed to look like a vintage jacket, complete with a sherpa collar, a matching belt with a slide buckle, and embroidered patches. The beige twill pants have a comfortable elastic waistabnd and tuck snugly into your favorite boots. Tie the chiffon scarf as desired and stretch the plastic goggles around the outside of your faux suede pilot hat. You're clear for takeoff! Case ClosedThe fate of the real Amelia Earheart is still shrouded in mystery to this day. Did she parachute out over the Pacific? Did she land on an island and enjoy a castaway lifestyle full of coconuts and warm, tropical waters? Your little Earhart's journey, however, is no mystery: She'll collect lots of candy, have plenty of fun with friends, and look forward to the day when she can sit in the pilot's seat of her very own airplane.
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?"

Wearing a fur coat lets everyone know that you know your way around a high-end department store and you've probably spent some time on a yacht.That didn't used to be the case.

Home on the PrairieLife on the prairie wasn't easy. That's for sure! You couldn't just break out your smartphone, press a few buttons, and have your new stuff show up at your house a couple of days later.

Why should you try to hide your greatness? The ancient Pharaohs from Egypt never tried to conceal just how awesome they were!

All Aboard! Is everyone seated? Time to move! This stagecoach has a schedule to keep.

It's the perfect final detail to sell your steampunk or historical outfit. Hats off to You Some accessories always seem to give off a certain vibe.

Deadly HandsomeFirst of all, don't panic. As a smart, persistent archaeologist, you've spent years and years researching your hunches and convincing the world that a forgotten pharaoh's tomb has yet to be discovered. Finally - finally! - you've gotten some attention and funding and are able to prove your theory. But wait! Just as you've brushed the last bit of desert sand from a hidden door bearing the name "Tutankhamun," a close friend runs panting to your side, shouting for you to stop. Don't you know, he asks, that all pharaohs' tombs are cursed? Well, yes. They are cursed. That's true. However, good old King Tut isn't the unleash-the-mummy's-fury kind of guy. He's lonely and bored, and eager for some well-deserved fame. In gratitude for uncovering his tomb, he's decided to confer on you a different kind of curse - the curse of being irresistably attractive to any woman you meet! Product DetailsWhile we may not be able to exactly replicate King Tut's exact curse (Dang it, man, we're costume sellers, not sorcerers!) we're confident that with the help of our exclusive Plus Size King Tut Costume for Men, your natural charisma will be just as good at wooing the ladies! The outfit includes a comfortable ivory tunic with an attached sheer blue cape that goes underneath a flattering belt complete with a hieroglyphic-printed drape.

Pharaoh's RewardAren't you glad you listened to us and opened the pharaoh's tomb? Ever since his relics were discovered, King Tut has granted you the gift of killer good looks. All that attention can be overwhelming at times, but we think you'll manage!
John F. Kennedy was the first United States President to boast of a popular image akin to a Rolling Stone. With his wife Jackie, he presided over an era that is now remembered fondly by Boomers, Gen X-ers, and (through history books) Millennials alike! If you want to recall those optimistic days—and imbue yourself with the unbridled confidence of a man who caught the affection of Marilyn Monroe while leading the free world—then you should probably wear this Deluxe Kennedy Adult Mask. Then have the lady in your life walk arm and arm as Jackie! Or, if you two would rather cultivate an edgy dual-persona, have her apply that signature beauty mark and instead dress as Miss Monroe. Added bonus: behind JFK's big smile no one will see your smirk as all the partygoer's jaws drop.
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.
Everyone knows that being a goddess would be amazing. But what would be the best color outfit for a goddess to wear while going about her celestial business? Purple, of course! When your little one is dressed up in this Purple Goddess Costume, she'll look like she'd just strolled out of an Ancient Greek myth!There are a few purple things in the natural world, like grapes, lilacs, and a few flashy birds and lizards, so people have been aware of this pretty color for quite a while. But throughout history, purple dye has been notoriously difficult and expensive to make, and in the case of the dye called "Tyrian purple," which was made of rotten sea snails, it was also pretty gross to make! This meant that for most of history, only royalty and the very wealthy could afford to wear purple outfits. But no goddess is going to be thwarted by earthly technological restrictions like that, and if she wants to wear a purple dress, she's just a snap of her fingers away from having the chicest look on Mount Olympus!Luckily, this dress doesn't require divine intervention (or even rotten snails) to get its stunning purple hue. The cream colored synthetic gown and shoulder drapes transition to a heavenly purple color, which is complimented by gold details and brocade ribbons. Once she puts on the included gold headband and a pair of ancient style sandals, she'll be the best dressed goddess at any Greek costume party!
Style SupportFace it. You wouldn’t refer to pioneer women’s clothing as stylish. Practical? Absolutely! From the rather dull colors to the carefree fits, every piece of apparel worked as hard as the woman wearing it. Brown dresses hid dirt stains earned while cleaning sod houses and tending barn animals. And while floor-length skirts sound like a tripping hazard, their flowy design was easy to move in. A woman could even ride a horse while wearing one.The only thing these “drab” garments weren’t great for was fashion. Strolling into town and trying to look your best in a dust-stained, farm-scented dress didn’t exactly scream elegant or work. And while there were bigger things to worry about than looking chic in a community of frontiersmen, getting to wear a nice outfit has always been a silver lining on a woman’s day!Design & DetailsGain a boost of confidence even dressed in a plain pioneer costume when you layer this Made By Us Women’s Hoop Skirt underneath! Whether you’re walking into a dusty saloon or going for an authentic frontier-style for your friend’s Halloween party, this simple accessory is here to support the cause. This crinoline adds lift to your look with its four hoops that start at mid-thigh and graduate in size from smallest to largest. Meanwhile, its narrow elastic waistline holds securely without creating bulk at your midsection.Dull to DreamyAdd volume to maxis. Raise your hemline just a hair. Or turn dull into dreamy all with this exclusive Women’s Hoop Skirt! With this easy-to-use costume accessory in your wardrobe, every droopy length or deflated costume idea gets the lift it needs!
Product DetailsUncle Sam must have never been told that pointing is rude. Then again, he does it with such dignity maybe it's not offensive when it comes from him! That little smirk that accompanies is enough to make us dash off to the nearest military recruitment office!

The Hundred Dollar Founding FatherBen Franklin was one pretty smart guy. He invented bifocals, edited a newspaper and got himself on the hundred dollar bill. Have you ever seen his journals? He liked to ask all the questions. How else do you wind up flying a kite with the intent of getting struck by lightning! Okay, we still think his whole "flying a kite in the middle of a thunderstorm" idea might not have been the best idea ever since that could have really turned out badly, but he's a genius, so who are we to argue? All of humanity is now in his debt. We wouldn't want to go back to living without electricity. How would we charge our phone?Of course, history is filled with amazing stories and Ben Franklin is part of many of those American history stories. That's why we like this costume so much. It's the perfect opportunity to learn about our rich history!Product DetailsThis costume makes your little history buff look just like the legendary figure that we know so well from our books and monuments. We can't guarantee that while wearing it, he'll be inventing the glass armonica like the real Benjamin Franklin, but he will look cooler than the other kids at the next American history pageant that your child is in, and we think that's just as important as the invention of the glass armonica. It's got the felt coat with attached vest and cuffs, all in drab tones that just say the 1700s. No costume from that era would be complete without a cravat, and this has one! The knicker pants go to the knees and fit easily with elastic.Ben Franklin Costume for BoysOkay, so he's going to learn all about history while wearing this classic costume, but whatever you do don't let him go out in the thunderstorm with that kite. We already have electricity. It's all good. He can just sit back and learn the glass armonica like all the other kids are doing these days (we assume).
Dressed to the Nines Have you been invited to a costume soiree? Do you need perfectly accessorized evening garb posthaste in order to attend?

Product DetailsDon't wait another fortnight before getting your hands on an exclusive Adult Grey Top Hat! The molded top hat is made of grey polyester felt. The base of its high crown is ringed by a band of grey grosgrain ribbon. A hook and loop size-adjustment band is hidden inside the crown so that it can be fitted to perfection.

Any steampunk or Regency outfit will elevated by a fashionable lid like this one.
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.
Slither into characterThere are a lot of wonderful goddesses in the Greek canon. There's the goddess of the hearth, the goddess of love, the goddess of the hunt. But here's the thing, a lot of these goddesses have some serious issues. Jealousy is a major player in many of the stories. Take Medusa, for instance, totally innocent in her story, a goddess curses her with snakes for hair after she catches the goddess's husband's eye. Not cool. But in the end, who's more famous. That goddess or the once-unknown Medusa? Well, some people might be able to think of the goddess's name but Medusa is definitely more popular!Product DetailsThis lovely golden crown will make your basic toga ensemble jaw-dropping and unique. The molded headpiece has a geometric crown base and a nest of slithering snakes with menacing red eyes. The foam interior makes this headpiece comfortable to wear for hours while the elastic band will keep your headpiece in place throughout the evening.

How does a post-apocalyptic coachman travel to his next steam engine convention? Why, in top-notch steampunk style, of course!We have to admit, we do not always fully “get” the steampunk aesthetic. Cerebrally, it just doesn’t make sense--is it the look of the future, or of the past? But not getting it doesn’t stop us from loving it! It’s so cool. Whenever we see a really awesome steampunk outfit, we understand that true steampunk style is elusive and difficult to capture in words. So if you want to make your ensemble speak volumes about your favorite trend, this durable Brown Suede Coachman Hat will be a huge help!

Time MachineTime machines don't exist. Believe us, we've checked into it and no one seems to have the technology to make on work, yet.

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.

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!
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.

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.

Look, man…we’ve all been through our share of break-ups, alright? And we’ve all done the thing where we’ve started dating someone and things were going pretty okay in the beginning, but then it got really serious really fast and we kind of wanted to get out of there, but we didn’t really know how to do it, so we kind of just let it keep going for way longer than we should have, and then by the end we were so done with that person and the relationship that we were pretty sucky in the way we dumped them.It’s happens! Luckily for us, we’ve learned from the error of our ways and now we’re pretty good about doing the “Hey, we had a great time, but this just isn’t working out for us” talk face-to-face (even though it would be SO MUCH EASIER to just do it over text or ghost out), But you, friend, kind of need to take a good, hard look in the mirror and figure out if the way you’re ending things with your former flames isn’t just a lil’ severe. What we mean is…is it really necessary to behead every lady you no longer want around?

So just..think about it, okay? Like, divorce exists!
Anubis seems like a pretty chill god. He’s not a total blockhead like some of those Greek gods, who spent most of their time backstabbing each other. He mostly just likes to hang out with dead souls and guide them get to their proper place in the land of the dead. He also acts sort of like a bodyguard to the afterlife, since he uses his handy scale to weigh people’s hearts. (He makes sure all the jerks don’t make it in.)

This adult Anubis mask is molded into the shape of a jackal face and has a black front with plenty of gold detailing on the ears. When you wear it, you can hang with the pharaohs or chill with the mummies, because everyone loves the ancient God of the Dead!

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.

We think not. Now's your chance to equip your little hero with the garb necessary for his rags-to-royalty story to begin!
