What a Novel IdeaSmall talk can be so boring. What's the weather been up to? How's work? Do you think that paint that we're watching on the wall is dry yet? It's time we went back to a time when making conversation was an art. A time when you couldn't quite come out with your true opinions but you could certainly waltz around any subject you liked for an hour or two in the drawing room. A time when Jane Austen was a master at crafting stories around human interactions!Details & Design Want to look right at home strolling through an English garden while contemplating a new composition for your novel? Our exclusive Jane Austen costume will make you feel like a 19th century novelist in an instant. This costume includes a long dress cinched with a pink ribbon at the waist. It has a square neckline and a sheer sleeve. It can be worn with or without the cropped jacket with its gorgeous puffed sleeves with pleats and buttons down the front. The whole ensemble is topped with a beautiful blue bonnet that's accented with a thick shiny ribbon that fastens in a bow under the chin, we'll call that Jane's thinking cap. Ladies and GentlemenThe 19th century was a time of Pride & Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and so many other novels with perfectly quotable moments. And don't get us wrong, we know that Jane broke the mold chapter by chapter. Being an author wasn't an extremely ladylike profession. In fact, no profession was ladylike. But at the same time, she brought the lady's lifestyle into open air for common people to read. In fact, thanks to her gentle turn of phrase, we can still imagine that ladylike lifestyle when we curl up with one of Miss Austen's legendary books. It's time to get your quote on with a costume that pays tribute to Jane Austen's lovely wit.
Extraordinary GodsGreek gods were kind of boring. Zeus just looked like an old guy with a scraggly white beard. Hermes was just a normal looking dude with some wings pasted on his feet. Cupid was a flying baby. That’s all fine and good, but what if you want to be an ancient god that truly looks extraordinary? Then you need to look at all the Egyptian gods from the ancient world. Talk about extraordinary! Sobek was a walking talking crocodile. Sekhmet was a female goddess who had the body of a woman and the face of a lioness. But that’s not even the best god of them all! That title goes to Anubis.Yes, Anubis was the god of being awesome! Wait, that’s not right. He was actually the god embalming and mummification. He also held the important job of guiding the souls into the afterlife and judging whether or not mortals were worthy of entering the realm of the dead. But, most importantly, he had the head of a jackal! Can you name any Greek gods that had the head of a jackal? Yeah, we didn’t think so!Product DetailsNow, you can look like the Egyptian god when you wear this plus size Anubis costume. It comes with a black top with a pair of matching black pants.

It’s shaped like a jackal’s head and comes with a gold and black headpiece.Zeus is JealousOnce you have this Anubis costume on, you’ll feel anything but ordinary. Even Zeus will be jealous of your jackal-like face as he looks sadly at his boring lightning bolts.
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. She also was an activist for women’s suffrage in her later years. 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.

A fiesty first lady"Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of husbands. Remember all men would be tyrants if they could."Dang! Abigail Adams didn't pull any punches, did she? Actually, this fiesty first lady made a reputation for herself as one of the most eloquent figures in the early history of the United States, and that's pretty impressive when her husband, John Adams, was known as one of the best letter writers (kind of like history's bloggers) of the period. Some historians even say Abigail was a better writer than her husband, and she didn't have half the chances at a fancy education that he did. So, you go, girl!There are plenty of role models to choose from when it comes to America's First Ladies, but we think Abigail Adams is one of the best. Not only was she a staunch supporter of women's education, she also spoke out against slavery and took a keen interest in her husband's politics.

It's no wonder that you're thinking about dressing up like her for your next costume party, and we can help!Product detailsThis exclusive Plus Size Women’s Abigail Adams Costume is sure to be a hit, whether you’re going to an inauguration or just a costume party.

We promise that if there's a vote for best costume, you'll win by a landslide!
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!
She of the Ointment JarBastet was known as an intensely fierce cat goddess that was in charge of defending the pharaoh. While her name translates to, "she of the ointment jar", she doesn't actually have anything to do with cold cream. This fierce lion goddess has been around for about four-thousand years. Bastet's symbols decorated both the pharaoh's chambers as well as the jewelry of mothers and women who wanted to be mother's. The idea was, like a house cat, she would be tender to her young and fierce to anyone who might threaten those under her care. She sounds like a goddess we wouldn't mind having around!Details & DesignMake sure Bastet has your back when you dress up in an Egyptian costume this Halloween. This plush black and gold cat is Made by Us meaning it has little details added by our in-house designers like the dignified striped ears and intelligent face. The body has a zipper on the back so you can carry your belongings without interrupting the ancient theme of your look. The pretty paws are circled with the fourteen-inch tail and the long chain slings over your shoulder for a comfortable look that you can carry around all nightAdaptable ArtifactsMake sure your belongings stay close at hand when you put them in the hands of the fierce goddess, Bastet. After all, when you're proudly walking into the room as Nefertiti or Cleopatra, you need a goddess to back up your authority. So throw the gold chain over your shoulder to let everyone know you're not "kitten" around!

Fierce and FearlessThe Prehistoric era was a tough time - or so we've been told, anyway. The cave people were busy from the crack of dawn till the last light of sunset with hunting saber-tooth tigers, gathering berries, and figuring out how to invent the wheel and the fire (raw saber-tooth tiger meat is pretty gross). They needed courageous girls to help them explore on the backs of their pet pterodactyls and be all kinds of awesome! Product DetailsYou'll look ready for a Pangaea-sized adventure when you wear this exclusive Prehistoric Cave Girl's Costume! The outfit includes a one-shouldered romper made of soft, leopard-print minky fabric with a cord waist tie. It's embellished with jagged brown trim along the neckline that mirrors the skirt's zig-zag hem. The brown faux suede leg warmers have criss-crossed decorative ties and the matching faux suede gauntlets slide easily onto each arm. Top it all off with the hair clip that's attached to a fiber-filled felt bone! Cave CutieBack in ye very olden days, there were no cell phones, TV shows, indoor plumbing fixtures, or chocolate, which would have been sad. On the other hand, there was no homework either, and probably no Brussels sprouts yet. Nobody knew yet that eating your vegetables was better for you than eating sugar. This Halloween, think like a cave girl and collect as much candy as you can! You can eat it next to the fire inside your cave while you paint amazing pictures on the walls for archeologists to find and marvel over. Or did cave kids get into trouble for drawing on the walls of their rooms?
Ruling the NileEgypt was home to many great rulers in the ancient world. Snefru built the first pyramid. Senusret I ushered in an era of peace and prosperity and helped irrigate Faiyum to provide more farmable land in his kingdom. Yet, none of those pharaohs seem to have made quite the mark in the history books quite like a certain queen that become Egypt’s most well-known figure, Cleopatra. Why is that?Well, we happen to think it’s because Cleopatra is a woman of high ambition! Not only did she date the most powerful and most desirable men of her time period, but she also seized control over the Egyptian throne, because her brother mysteriously died when he held power. She also had quite the knack for theatrics. She snuck into Rome by smuggling herself inside of a rug, which was being delivered to Julius Caesar himself. Now that’s a baller move right there! Now, you can easily obtain the look of the renowned leader with this extravagant All Powerful Cleopatra costume.Product DetailsThis exclusive costume comes with many pieces to come together for a regal look, fit for the omnipotent ruler of Egypt. The dress, which is designed by our expert costume designers, is shimmering gold with an overlay, while the belt features gold and black stripes and a drape with hieroglyphics. The costume even comes with a ravishing headpiece. Once you have it all on, you can cruise down the Nile on a barge designed for the ultimate party, or you can wage war on Ptolemy! It’s totally up to you.
Hail the KingThe crypt opens. A crumbling stone stairway yawns from the deep. Slowly, the nervous archaologist descends into the gloom. Strange rustles echo from every side, but he is undeterred in his pursuit of history. The light from a lone flashlight sputters over the sandy walls, briefly illuminating cartouches, crocodiles, and blank-faced Osiris images. All of a sudden, the archaeologist senses that he is not alone. There is another presence in the tunnel. He raises the flashlight in one trembling hand and gasps. At the end of the passage stands a golden figure with a staff in hand. History may have forgotten him til now, but he has not forgotten his birthright. The King has returned to rule over the Nile once more! Product Details Forget ancient curses - major blessings are coming your way when you wear your exclusive King Tut Costume for Men! You're regal and you know it, so step into this soft ivory tunic that is perfect for both accepting your loyal subjects' tributes and racing down a dusty road in a shining chariot. A gold and blue-striped headpiece protects your head from the blazing heat, and fits tightly enough to keep from flapping away in the previously-mentioned chariot race. Your royal collar has incredible printed gems and a sheer blue cape that's both impressive and lightweight is attached to the shoulders of the tunic, to keep you cool in the desert sun. A golden belt with an attached drape is emblazoned with a blue bird and black hieroglyphics. We're not exactly sure what they mean, but they probably say something like "This man is incredibly attractive." You're welcome. B.C. BabeRise from your sarcophagus and step into your destined role - not as an undead mummy but as a royal Sun Pharaoh. Your subjects cheer your return to the dance floor!

Southern charmWhile there was a lot wrong with the antebellum South, one thing they got right was the ladies’ beautiful fashions. These women took “go big or go home” to an all new level, with hoop skirts so wide that they sometimes couldn’t even walk through the door! Sometimes, five whole yards of fabric were needed for the voluminous skirts, and it could take days of work to create a complete outfit.Then, when a stylish belle finally received her dress, it was quite another process to actually put it on. There were the undergarments, the petticoats, the crinolines, the hoops, the underskirt… and the dreaded corset! All that had to go on first before the gown could even put worn. Then there was the detachable collar and all the accessories, like flowers for your hair and beautiful jewelry. We guess southern belles really knew how to suffer for fashion!Product DetailsThankfully, your charming southern belle doesn’t have to worry about trading comfort for style at her next ball with this beautiful Kid’s Lovely Southern Belle Costume. (It’s all there in the name!) This exclusive costume features dark pink flowers in an all over print on a lighter pink background.

It's Time to Take a Shot!Ten years ago, if you said you wanted to dress up as a founding father for Halloween, ten-years-ago-you would probably be incredibly skeptical. But that was pre-Hamilton. Now, in this post-Hamilton world, you can be a singer, rapper, dancer, and snappy dresser when you pick up this costume. A Made By Us product, this costume is quality enough to wear through repeated screenings of Hamilton. You can even dance along in it, if you've got the moves.Product DetailsThis isn't just any Alexander Hamilton costume. This costume is Made By Us. That means it's a high-quality, made-to-last item. The velvet jacket has poplin vest panels, a collar, lapels, and sleeve cuffs for a truly finished look. The vest panels fasten with buttons. The rest of the buttons, on the cuffs and lapels, are decorative details that let this costume shine. The cravat (that bit that goes around the neck) is put on and taken off easily with a hook and loop fastener. For maximum comfort, the pants, which are made of poplin, have an elastic waistband and elastic cuffs that end just below the knees.

There are a bunch of perks to being the very first of anything, especially the first president. Sure, you don't have a previous president to blame stuff on, but it also means you are totally allowed to make stuff up as you go. Step into the shoes of the guy who literally wrote the book on being the US president with this George Washington Costume, and add some patriotic authority to your day! Every American knows who George Washington is (at least as the "dollar bill guy"), but it's impossible for us to know what he was actually thinking when he became the country's very first president. He managed to make it work, but what kinds of things could he have done during his presidency that would have made the government a lot stranger? Could he have issued an executive order that all disputes in Congress were to be resolved by a potato sack race? Or, that the president got to wear a superhero style cape as part of their official uniform? It sounds weird, but compared to some real parts of the government, not that weird. No need to worry about looking weird, though, because when you're dressed in this presidential outfit, you're the boss (as long as you also get a majority vote from the costumed electoral college). The overcoat, vest, and matching trousers are a fine example of 18th Century style, and be sure to add a powdered wig to complete this Founding Fatherly look. Whether you're wearing it for a historical reenactment or play, or just having some patriotic costumed fun, you'll look truly revolutionary!
Every dream requires a dreamer. Maybe that's why this detailed Steampunk Cane features a molded plastic head that looks an awful lot like a metallic skull, churning through fantastic ideas with the help of all those gears! Because even though we tend to think of a steam-powered retrofuture as a pretty great place to visit, nowhere is perfect. Buried under the gleaming machinery of all those clever contraptions, we're sure that there's at least a hint of the darkly-obsessive or macabre.That's just the way that stories go: if the hero is a gifted but naive up-and-coming engineer, there's got to be a villain to balance the scales. So whether you're an earnest tinkerer who's lost himself in a mechanical labyrinth of his own brilliant inventions, or you're the diabolical mastermind who's built a dark secret into the turbine-driven heart of a floating city, this cane is a solid choice when you need somebody to lean on!

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.

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.

Wildflowers and Wagon WheelsThe pioneers of the wild west were an adventurous bunch. People left their tight-knit communities for all sorts of reasons. Some loaded their wagons for the long haul, taking on the Sierra Nevada mountains to take up residence in California. Others craved the isolation of the plains, building houses out of sod and working the wild land. Whether they were crossing the plains or settling in the midwest, the men and women of the wagon trains all reported back on the beauty of the prairie. If you crave the sensation of taking in an endless blue sky above an ocean of grass with meadowlarks among the wildflowers then slipping into this Women's prairie dress costume will make you feel like you're one of the brave 19th-century pioneers!Design & DetailsThis calico dress would look just right on a prairie homestead. The one-piece dress zips up the back and has a long skirt sporting a wide border and a blouse top with the billowing sleeves that were so popular in the 1800s. The top is detailed with decorative buttons on the front and velvet trim along the collar and cuffs. Accented with a cameo brooch, this dress is a lovely pick for plays, reenactments, and costume parties. Pieces of the PastWhile we're glad that we no longer have to cook our food over an open fire or scrub our clothes by hand, it's a lot of fun to visit the 19th Century every once in a while. And when you add little details to this costume like a wide brim bonnet, you take it to the next level. That bonnet keeps the sun off your face as you tend to barefoot children and gather herbs to heal people along the trail becoming an important part of building your character. It's amazing how costumes like this can make the past come alive!
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.

You had to farm your own food and make your own clothes... boy, is it good that we don't live in those pioneer days! Now we have the convenience of modern society. Why, if you wanted to dress up like a classic novel character, all you'd have to do is click and few buttons and we'd send it to your home!Design & DetailsThis women's plus size costume helps you get a classic prairie girl look from the pioneer days of America.

Settle Down, Paul Revere!1775 was a good year for the British career soldiers we call the Redcoats. Those whiny colonists in the American colonies were keeping them all in work with their grumbling. Those buckle-shoed yokels were incurring the wrath of one of the strongest militaries in the civilized world just because they didn't want to pay more for tea and paper. Well, the Redcoats didn't mind. Sure, they were far away from fashionable European society, refined tea time treats, and their noble king. But America's streets weren't yet backed up with centuries of refuse and coal dust. The sky was still blue and the water was drinkable.

Is your daughter a strong leader? When it comes to recess is she the one who organizes the races or decides what that group is going to pretend that day? Maybe she's always volunteering to read in class or bringing that science project to the next level. However she uses her leadership skills, you know that she could do anything, even lead a nation. When she was eighteen years old Cleopatra was put on the throne alongside her ten-year-old brother. She enjoyed a couple of years of power but when she got older her brother banished her. After that she probably let things go, right? Ha! Nope. She had some servants roll her up in a carpet and sneak her back into the palace when her brother was having a visitor, Caesar, you know, the super famous leader? Yep, so she meets up in secret with this guy who had a much larger army than her brother and convinces the guy that she should be the one on the throne. How's that for leadership? She might have been wearing a costume very similar to this when she enrolled herself from the tapestry. She would probably have been wearing a golden light weight dress and the traditional Egyptian golden collar and belt. With the undeniable stance of a Queen and her legendary diplomatic skills, it's no wonder that Caesar sided with the celebrated Cleopatra. When your little girl dresses up as this mighty queen she's sure to feel as powerful as that immortal heroine that ruled in 51BC. Maybe she's dressing up for a school project or maybe she wants an imperial Halloween costume this year, either way, this Cleopatra Halloween costume is sure to support her leadership aspirations. She knows better than anyone, that a queen doesn't follow the crowd, the crowd follows you.
First lady of styleMost people can name the Founding Fathers: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams… Heck, Alexander Hamilton even has a whole musical about him! These guys are famous, and rightfully so, but you know what they say: Behind every great man is a great woman. Most of the Founding Fathers were married and supported by loving wives, but you never really get to learn much about the Founding Mothers. We think it’s about time to change that!Abigail Adams was the wife of John Adams, the second president of the United States. And she was pretty cool in her own right, too! For one, she was the first woman to be both the wife and the mother of a president. (Don’t worry, it wasn’t the same guy!) She also gave her husband tons of advice when it came to how to run the country. She was a champion of women’s education and spoke out against slavery. Of all the first ladies to dress up like for a costume party, we don’t think you could do much better than Abigail Adams!Product detailsThis exclusive Kid’s Abigail Adams Costume is sure to be a hit, whether you’re going to an inauguration or just a costume party. It looks just like a dress that a fashionable lady from the early 1800s would wear when she’s hosting a party at the White House. The red, long-sleeved pullover dress is 100 percent polyester, with a zipper down the back center for easy wear. The collar and sleeve cuffs are trimmed with lace, while there is elastic in the waist for a cinched look. All you need is a quill pen and some parchment to complete the look!Belle of the ballWhether you’re preparing for a trip to the White House or just hosting friends in your own living room, you’ll definitely be the belle of the ball with this beautiful costume!
Alrighty, folks, remember… We’re approaching that season where the veil between worlds thins and we can periodically see visitors from a few different places pop in to ask a few important questions. And, given what has happened a few times in the past, it is important to make sure we’re all on the same page. What do we say when some sort of odd gatekeeping extradimensional creature scowls at you and asks if you are a god? You know the answer, so there is no need to belabor that any further. But, just saying “Yes!” isn’t going to cut it anymore. They know that we know that, now, too! So, you have to know what kind of god? What powers? Over which domain do you rule?These are the big questions and the road to divinity is a very important one. Our suggestion is to go with a group of gods who have a lot of experience and still know how to have a good time with the mortals. Off to Mount Olympus, then, to learn about the proper protocol, hierarchy, and your rights and responsibilities as a Greek Goddess. Spooked? Ha, don’t worry. The Greek Gods are quite casual about everything, so long as you don’t muddle up their own machinations.With that handled, it is time to don your divine garb of the Roman Goddess costume. You’ll be right at home with Jupiter and Apollo in this glorious ombré gradient, floor-length, sleeveless dress that blends from cream to teal from top to bottom. As lovely as that is, alone, the accents are what truly make these cloths majestic. A gold braid edged V-neck and O-rings at each shoulder are matched by the gold leaf headpiece, all of which make for a clear marker of your divinity. So, the new question: Of what are you a goddess? … That one might take a bit longer, so we suggest you pick wine.
A Knight to RememberYour little one has had his fair share of rough Halloweens, so far. For a few years, kids are too young to really participate (or eat much candy), and then the first year your child was ready to go trick-or-treating, he fell at school and broke his ankle! Ouch! The year after that it was the chickenpox, and the year after that you were all really sick with a stomach bug. So, in some ways, this is really his first Halloween to experience the magic and wonder of the night. That's why you've opted for this Kid's Lionheart Knight Halloween Costume, a fine pick! Your medieval scholar in the making won't even know what to do with his excitement when he sees that this striking costume is his to wear all day long, from school to an after-school party to evening trick or treating — with all the candy he can eat!Design & DetailsThis look is crafted with care and attention to detail by our exclusive in-house costume designers, so it really is fit for royalty! As your child dramatically throws back the dark red cape, complete with its own antiqued brass medallion, he reveals the costume's other charms, like a metallic knit tunic, faux leather belt, foam-backed chest "armor" with a printed lion, and slip-on gauntlets. Add a sword for the full effect!Let the Royal Party Start!Your little knight may get very into "decreeing" things while wearing this costume, and he may even want to blow a royal trumpet and gather the whole village in celebration. Hey, after the few years he has had, let him have his fun!
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!
Don't Take that Throne with ME!Cleopatra might have born royal but she had to struggle to rule. First, it was her little brother that tried to take the throne. Then it was her other little brother. Because of her ambition, she was tossed out of the capital city. Tough stuff. This might have stopped someone less intense. But Cleopatra is an icon for a reason! The down and out queen had her servants roll her up in a carpet and sneak her into the capital's palace when Rome's king was visiting. When she was unfurled, her fearless nature, witty way of speaking, and relentless charm were enough. She was an obvious leader. She convinced Rome's king to back her up in her bid for the throne. With moves like this, there was no doubt that Cleopatra earned her crown!Design & DetailsWe love making our historical costumes extra fun, fashionable, and comfortable. That's why our Made by Us Cleopatra crown is made with comfortable foam while featuring plenty of sparkle in the gemstones and sequin trimmed centerpiece. The crown is trimmed with beads the echo Cleopatra's signature hairstyle so you can be sure people will recognize your iconic character as soon as you enter the room!
”Honest Abe” has to rank as one of the all-time great nicknames in American politics, but when you think about it, there’s a lot of pressure that goes along with that name. When you’re dressed as Honest Abe, people are going to hold you to it: no fibs, no exaggerations, certainly no outright lies. When people see a chin-strap beard and a stovepipe hat coming up the street, they think, “Well, here’s somebody who’s gonna tell it to me straight.” It’s your duty as an Abe Lincoln costume owner to live up to that standard.Of course, if you’re the type who’s thinking of dressing up as our 16th president, we bet you’re not the type to go around spreading misinformation anyway. Honesty is the best policy, after all, and any true Abe admirer knows that by heart. Start your young one off on an honest path with this synthetic, brown beard with a smattering of gray (running a country during the Civil War is a stressful job, after all). The beard secures with an elastic band and adhesive tabs for extra support. It’s an instantly recognizable look that should leave everyone at the costume party honestly impressed.
The Power of the Ancient WorldJulius Caesar. Marc Antony. These names resonate with action and might - but not more so than their larger-than-life contemporary, the legendary Egyptian queen Cleopatra! Their fellow ruler had a knack for thinking outside the box, setting up successful espionage, and mowing down any obstacle in her way. Also, it can't be denied that she had way better style than either of those two Roman guys. There's just no comparison between a boring white toga and a sensual, draping gown with golden details and jewels. Product DetailsBecome the original boss babe when you wear this exclusive Queen Cleopatra Costume for Women! The pullover sleeveless dress's bodice is made of shimmery gold-tone faux linen fabric with a V neckline and flattering ruching. The same metallic knit drapes over both hips and parts in the middle to reveal the opaque green and gold metallic knit skirt. A golden faux leather belt fastens around the waist, and its front drape is printed with hieroglyphics. The gown comes with a metallic knit cape that is decorated with a gold faux leather collar. The glorious final touch is the golden faux leather headband. Make Way for Royalty Bow down to the queen! Wearing a costume this amazing may make you feel like indulging your royal side: Go for it! Sail down the Nile on a gilded barge, stock up on delicious figs and grapes, and maybe start an international incident or two. Cleopatra would certainly approve. The only things you should probably avoid are snakes. They're bad news.

Better than the real thingIt's safe to say that childhood was short in the Middle Ages. It wasn't that kids were less childish, it was just that there was always so much to do. There was yarn to spin, wool to card, peas to shell, gardens to weed, chickens to feed, chickens to pluck, firewood to gather, hems to sew, fields to sew, stews to stir, and water to fetch. So you can be sure that if you were a kid during this time, you'd have plenty of chores every day. Can you imagine a child in today's era yielding a sharp object to peel carrots by an open fire on which balanced a pot of boiling water? Nope, that would not fly these days. Still, it's wonderful to picture villager children of the Renaissance and Medieval era letting loose and gathering flowers. Luckily for us, we might not have a long, long list of chores but we still have access to the clothing of those eras.

Have you noticed your son holding a lot of sway in your household lately? We don't know when that secret election happened either but it seems like your little one's persuasive speeches (aka: bad puppy eye skills) have been influencing the laws of your household. For instance, you hardly even noticed that the law about not having snack in the living room had been overturned until months later when the crumbs and jelly stains began to accumulate. Well, that's politics for you! What mandates will your little man be supporting in the next senate session? The allowance tax is likely to be passed, as is the bedtime ban. If we were in your shoes we'd keep watch over the freezer. It's likely that your little one will lift the embargo on that ice cream. If this type of free trade happens you're likely to open the freezer and find some plastic dinosaurs in place of those ice cream sandwiches that you were hoarding for your chocolate emergency needs. While it's important to keep up an open dialogue with your senator you can't help but feel proud of your witty kid's persuasive skills. For his next costumed event, you might as well celebrate his political success! He'll feel official as the original version of a senator. In a toga and gold laurel headband he might even be inspired to support fairer laws. Maybe the noble sheath of red with the gold lion medallion will influence him in those harsh ice cream trade agreements. From now on you'll get two T-rex figures for one ice cream bar, that's got to be fair, right? Hey, render onto Caeser what outa be Caeser's!
