Life as a wandering warlord is tough. You have to be away from home a lot as you pillage and plunder across the continent. The group of ruthless mercenaries you lead can be a handful. The hours are long and the pay is never consistent. Enemies are always trying to assassinate you, while you also have to keep an eye on any ambitious employees who might want to give themselves a promotion at your expense. Sometimes, you wonder if it’s all worth it.But then you remember—the cape.The cape makes all the worry and discomfort and fighting and danger worth it. There aren’t a lot of jobs that let you wear a super cool cape, and being a warlord is one of them. Every time you put it on, you feel rugged, commanding and invincible.

Interesting InsectsWhen we think about steampunk-themed items, we usually think of mechanics. After all, the idea is to consider what our world would look like if we still ran things on steam instead of other forms of energy. We don’t always wonder what mechanical animals would look like. Here’s one imagining of an awesome insect! We’ve always been a little disappointed that dragonflies don’t actually look like miniature dragons. However, they’re still really cool! They have 4 wings instead of the typical 2, which is pretty neat, and they come in so many different colors. In the steampunk world, they’re made of metal so they’re a little less vibrant, but their wings are still beautiful!Product DetailsAdd the perfect gear-themed accessory to your steampunk outfit with this antique dragonfly gear pin!

Live Snakes Are Not JewelryHave you ever tried using a live snake as jewelry? Let us tell you, it’s not very easy.

Power, seduction, deceit, and gold eyeshadow. This is the legend left behind by the timeless queen, Cleopatra. She ruled Egypt and influenced Rome. She took down anyone that got too jealous of her natural born power. People still talk of her dramatic love affairs and her awesome eyeliner game, and we should. Hollywood drama has nothing on this Memphis powerhouse.What would happen if Cleopatra were alive today? We don’t think she’d be super impressed with the rich and powerful people of the world. Sure, they didn’t have cars back in the day but is that really an upgrade. We’ve given up fancy horses and golden chariots, not to mention golden boats floating down the Nile. Have you ever seen those Egyptian horses with fancy feathered headdresses? Yeah, a Mercedes Benz can’t beat that, at least when it comes to making an entrance. Cleopatra was really good at making an entrance. Have you ever been introduced to an official Roman dignitary after rolling out of a carpet? If you have you’ve beaten us and everyone we know in the interesting person game.If you’re ready to get in touch with your all-powerful ruler side than this Cleopatra costume can help you out. The dress is perfect for those hot nights on the Nile with light weight floor-length golden fabric. The collar is stately with black and gold stripes. No one is going to doubt your authority with this black panel and gold hieroglyphics and a crystal belt over top that matches the crystal and gold headpiece. You’re sure to make that legendary entrance with the golden cuffed sheer cape. If you want to roll yourself in a carpet and get yourself delivered to the party, that would be epic. Just remember to stay hydrated and pack some snacks!

The plunging neckline is appealing to both serving wenches and queen regents alike.
Were you an inquisitive child in your younger days? Did you ask an endless series of Why or What’s that questions? So many per hour that you were about ready to make your parents ready to fall into the fetal position just so you might stop the perpetual interrogation? And, when they did, did you still loom over them and inquire, “Why are you doing that?”Well, of course you did. Didn’t all kids? But, the real question is if you kept up on this spectacular habit? Do you still have the knack for interrogation and the unending pool of curiosity fueling you to solve the most insidious of the world’s mysteries? Rather than attempt to convince you clever inquisitors to halt your investigations, instead try to praise you for your pursuits for the truth and lead you right down the road to becoming one of the best investigators of all time. Perhaps even the greatest, Sherlock Holmes!It is time to put your abilities to find the truth to the test. And, how better to do it than being clad in this Adult Sherlock Holmes costume? Made of conventional polyester, this coat and hat combo will give you the perfect blend of sophistication and intrigue to help solve all the cases along the way. A crisp set of buttons and an adjustable strap on the hat keep the garb fitting well. Add a few accessories like an oversized magnifying glass or a cob pipe and you’ll have Moriarty asking why he ever dared to come to your neighborhood to perpetuate his endless crime spree. Makes us wonder a bit what kind of kid he started off as!? Maybe endless questions aren’t so bad in comparison!
Domine Dirige NosAre you the kind of person who would fight with honor, honesty, valor, and loyalty? Would you protect the weak, and defenseless? How about eschew unfairness, meanness, and deceit? The kind of person who would speak the truth at all times? Yeah? Well then, you might have what it takes to be a knight.In the time of knights and kings, when matters of state were dealt with on the battlefield not in the House of Representatives, there needed to be something to keep knights from going rogue. From using their power to overthrow the king, or suppress their subjects. And that was the Code of Chivalry. Oddly enough, this is also where we get the idea of never turning your back on your enemy.As we have already established you have the integrity of a knight. But do you have the attire? No? Well this Men's Medieval Knight Costume will help people identify you as the knight in shining armor you are. You would be willing to stand up for those who can't stand up for themselves. Help orphans, and widows. You are just a good guy. And people should know that. They should know that you would pick up your sword to defend your King, and your subjects. You would lay down your life in honorable battle for the good of the Kingdom.Lord direct us

Not All Heroes Wear CapesGive your child the chance to dress up like her favorite NASA hero, Katherine Johnson! The contributions of this American hero led to the first successful NASA spaceflight, and every journey into space since. She was one of the first Black women to work as a NASA scientist, and refused to listen to anyone who told her otherwise. Without her brilliant mind, we might still have two feet planted on the ground. Forget Superman or Wonder Woman. Katherine Johnson's the real hero.Product DetailsThis costume comes with all the pieces needed to make your kid feel like they're walking into their first day at NASA in the 1960s. It comes with a collared heathered A-line red dress, black belt, and name badge with metal lanyard (with Ms. Johnson's actual picture on the front!) It's a dress of the times while looking fresh and updated (because we all know fashion is circuitous.) Let your kid add shoes that make them feel smart and confident (whether those are power flats or a pair or Chucks!) and a necklace if they want, because a little jewelry never hurt anyone. You might even catch them carrying their math book around!The dress is polyester and pulls on over the head. A hook and loop fastener on the back of the collar makes it easy to slip on. The dress has an elastic waistband too, to add a tapered look. But the elastic won't show under the faux leather belt, which also opens and closes with hook and loop fasteners.Fly Me to the MoonYour kid will feel like they're up for any job when they don this costume. They'll want to wear it year-round--there's no better good-luck charm to wear during an important math test! It's cute enough for every day but remarkable enough to make a standout Halloween costume.

You got to hand it to Hermes, this guy was made of quick stuff! He had wings on his helmet, he had wings on his shoes, he even had wings on his staff! This guy was made for speed. Because of his ability to fly fast and far, the gods of Olympus hired him on as living instant messenger between the gods and mortals. This fast fellow used all that responsibility he got to cause a lot of mischief on Olympus. Lucky for him he was quick on his feet and rarely got into a bind he couldn't get out of. Who wouldn't want the ability to cause mischief and escape the consequences? Although, some of us probably have younger siblings that have somehow acquired that ability. If you want to be a Greek God this Halloween or for a future toga party, this winged makes for an instantly recognizable character. You'll have so much fun, the night will fly by!

Find Your FatherThere are a lot of different ways to understand and celebrate history. Obviously, our favorite is a good old-fashioned time travel adventure. Whether you're hopping into a phone booth, a 1980s sports car, or listening to a soundtrack that bends the very cosmos, it is a pretty surefire way to get in contact with some famous, historical figures.

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!

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.

The forest green leggings complement the faux leather style of the rest of the outfit and the included hood adds the finishing touch to the costume!Hitting the TargetIf your child is ready to rebel against tyranny, or if she just wants a look that will hit the mark at her next costume, then our Robin Hood Costume for girls is right on target!

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?"
What makes a knight truly evil? Well, there are a lot of things he can do. An evil knight doesn’t rescue fair maidens from vile dragons. Instead he rescues vile maidens from fair dragons. It’s a lot easier to do, and a lot more rewarding too, if you catch our drift. When an evil knight goes to the local tavern, he never tips the ale wench more than 10%. And do you know those people who take steaks from the meat department and leave them in unrefrigerated areas at the grocery store? They’re evil knights, all of them. We know so.But you can’t be an evil knight without looking the part. We’re talking black-on-black clothing, hooded robes, and skulls on everything.Also, evil knights never wear white before labor day. We personally think that last part is going to far, but we don’t want to say anything because we’re thoroughly happy not being impaled by six foot long claymores.If you’re looking for a totally metal costume, something that really says “none shall pass,” then you’ve come to the right place. Our Evil Knight Costume has the tunic, gloves, cape, and belt you need to let do-gooders know their days are numbered. So pledge your allegiance to a dark wizard, a netherworld demon, or just your plain old nasty self and get out there and start terrorizing the land!
Lady of the House PartyIf you've got to cause the downfall of Camelot, you may as well do so in style, eh? We're just joking...kind of. We mean, Guinevere did kind of cause a bit of trouble with her epic beauty and romantic notions. But can you blame her? Look at her clothes. This dress was made to be fought over!History is actually pretty fuzzy on the details of Arthur, Lancelot, and Guinevere, but one thing that's clear is the high style in which she dressed. That's why we've got this Women's Lady Guinevere Teal Costume ready for you to ride off into the sunset with. Because when you're decked out in this luxurious costume, you can write your own end to your story; you're obviously the lady in charge, and you need no rescuing. So slip into this charming costume and command the attention of everyone at the house party or Halloween bash. Whether you choose to arrive with King Arthur, Sir Lancelot, or you wish to fly solo, this look will cement your place in the Halloween history books!Product DetailsThis is an ensemble fit for a queen! Crafted from rich, teal velvet, the dress is styled to the specifications of Arthurian times, with pronounced draped sleeves that reach nearly to the floor! The belt, too, hangs long in front and offsets the outfit with its metallic sheen, while a subtle pattern is stenciled near the neckline for added allure. Top your perfectly curled locks with the included, gem-studded half-crown and we're sure you'll have no trouble gathering your own roundtable of adoring fans tonight!Gal About TownWe can't be sure, but we would guess Guinevere was a real girl about Camelot.

So you and your 300 hoplite pals are headed to The Hot Gates? Well, we don't want to spoil anything, but we can recommend that you bring along as many swords and shields as you can carry. Because there's a lady at Delphi who made it sound like your blades are going to get dull long before you run out of Persians to battle, and we doubt that Xerxes is going to let you call a time-out for some honing!A Spartan Shield and Sword combo like this is probably just the thing you're looking for. It's a tidy package that's portable and easy to store, and it won't weigh you down! At least not compared to all the other gear you'll probably be toting. Plus, that armor you're wearing is pretty revealing. For such a small army, you guys sure have some big muscles!
Notable NobilityWhen most people want to dress up like royalty, they probably automatically think of a prince or princess costume first. Usually, in romantic tales, you’re trying to win the heart of a prince or princess so you can become one yourself. However, we don’t always see the appeal in having to wait in line for the throne. Why not skip right to the front and become the monarch yourself? If you’re interested in holding a little more power than a princess, why not be a queen instead? And while dressing like fictional or historical royals can be fun, their outfits are often a little outdated. If you’re looking to flaunt your noble station with some modern style, we have just the thing!Design & DetailsThroughout her early life, Queen Elizabeth II was a style icon. In her later decades, that hasn’t changed, although her fashion sense has. While she was very fond of stylish dresses in years past, now she’s more known for her bold, bright skirt suits. And she almost always has a hat to match. We wanted to make a hat for the modern queen, so we chose to imitate one of her fuchsia choices. This soft, bright pink hat features red feathers on the front for a bold color combination. We hope you’ll feel like royalty in this daring hat!
Give Me Liberty!Not all revolutionaries were guys in curly wigs and knee breeches. Some were the ones who knew that even though the war with England was over, the battle for women's rights still had to be fought. Susan B. Anthony was one of those trailblazers who knew that there would be no true liberty until women were given the same level of respect, the same opportunites for work, and the same right to join in cultural and political adventures as men. Product DetailsThis exclusive Women's Susan B. Anthony is perfect for courageous women of any generation who know how to stand up for what they believe in. The floor-length black polyester dress will look amazing whether you're sweeping down the street as part of a peaceful protest or standing in front of a podium giving a rousing speech. Black lace ruffles on the full-length sleeves add an elegant touch and complement the white ruffles on the bodice inset and wrist cuffs. A zipper down the back makes this outfit much easier to get into than the millions of buttons that were typical of that era. (You're welcome.) A metal pendant is attached to the white collar. All you need is a comfortable pair of shoes. Your fearless campaigning will have you on your feet a lot! Who Run the World? They might have lived a few generations apart, but we think that Susan and Beyonce would have gotten along great! Honor an amazing civil rights activist with an equally amazing costume.
Completely EffortlessYou might not think it to look at him, but a member of the Regency's most fashionable set wore a lot of hats. He was usually awesome at boxing, fencing, and other sports, could toss off a whiskey or two after dinner without getting tipsy, and knew all the ins and outs of stylish flirtation. Plus, he had to do it all while wearing some seriously fancy clothes. Can you imagine wearing a white necktie and not getting sauce all over it during dinner? Yikes. Product DetailsBe the toast of your hunting club or local ballroom when you wear this Men's Regency Gentleman Costume! The outfit includes a top that's designed to look like two separate pieces, but which slides on with ease. A velvety blue dinner jacket features a pale blue vest front decorated with gold-tone buttons, and a white shirt inset finished with a snowy cravat.

A Day in the LifeEver wonder what a day in the life of an Amish woman is life? Now you can find out ...It's no surprise that the Amish live very different lives than the rest of us. Their day usually begins at 5:00 a.m., where they get dressed in their bonnets and hats and prepare for a long day of honest hard work. The men go out to tend to the crops while the women tend to various housework, which includes everything from milking the cows to making the bed. It takes a lot of diligence and love of a simple lifestyle in order to make Amish life worthwhile, but you'll soon see that living the simple life is the way to go.

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!

Nah, QueenLet's set the record straight. Goddesses are not basic queens. Yes, queens can be righteous, brutal, powerful. But they simply aren't Goddesses. Queens might rule over armies and economies but only a goddess can control the weather and bring endless winter to the earth when someone really peeves her off. Goddess stories of terror, creation, and petty revenge are so good that we can't even find any to tell in this description without getting into trouble with the boss. So if "Yaas, Queen" isn't enough for you. If quivering in fear seems more like your style then this Women's Olympic Empress costume is the one for you!Details & DesignYou'll confidently rule the roost when you slip into this goddess costume. A slim white sheath is cinched with a golden belt and topped with a gold-edged one-shoulder neckline. The shoulder is accented with a printed medallion and a red swath of cloth drapes around your hip in a straight out of the ancient world way. Golden armbands wrap around the arms to top off this costume in just the right way!You've Got the PowerIt might take a little time to get used to all this power you've gained. After all, mortals used to go through perilous hurdles and odysseys to gain an Olympic status. Now, all you need to do is order this costume and the power will be yours! Now you might not be able to send a storm to follow that guy who cut you off in traffic, but finish off your look with a laurel leaf crown and a pair of gladiator sandals and you'll feel like you have all the mortals at your beck and call. Just remember, you don't just have the power of a throne, you've got the power of the heavens!
Hoist the Mainsail! Captaining your very own ship would be such a dream job? Why? Because you'd get to boss everybody around, from the first mate to the cabin boys. "Swab the decks!" you'd call. "Man the capstan! Weigh anchor! Belay the mizzenmast!" You wouldn't even have to know what any of those words meant. As long as they sound sufficiently nautical, you can just have fun yelling whatever you think of. Product DetailsLook brave and dashing in your exclusive Toddler Colonial Captain Costume! The soft, unisex jumpsuit fastens up the back and is designed to look like four distinct articles of clothing. The top features a blue jacket-style layer that reveals a red "waistcoat" insert beneath a ruffly white collar. The bottoms are a soft beige and tuck neatly into the black boot covers. Top it off with tricorn hat! Beyond the Horizon The Colonial era was an exciting time to be a sea captain! You'd load up your vessel with interesting passengers and all kinds of exotic goods one day, and then after a sometimes dangerous voyage, you'd dock at a port all the way across the ocean to deliver your goods and explore. You might even get to fight a pirate ship or two along the way! The only problem is, with a journey that long, fresh food tends to spoil quickly. No need to worry: That just means that you have to stock your galley with all of the prepackaged, long-lasting snack foods your parents don't like you to eat.
What it TakesIt takes a tough kid to be a knight, and it takes an even tougher one to slay a dragon! Your little one is the stoutest knight in the land, and a stout knight needs a solid suit of armor. Equip them with this Valiant Knight Costume before they head out on their next epic quest, and they'll be ready for any foe with whom they cross paths!At first glance, knights may just seem like any old soldier from medieval times, riding into battle in a suit of shiny armor and getting into sword duels with villains. But there's actually a lot more to being a valiant knight who can save the day against the bleakest of odds, which your kid may be preparing for as we speak. Perhaps you've noticed your wee-knight training for a life of excitement and honor (possibly with the family dog acting as their squire) in the backyard. They might be using a stick in place of a trusty longsword, but they can still fight against ferocious beasts and protect defenseless townsfolk from certain doom!Product DetailsA knight of such gallantry needs armor worthy of their deeds, and this costume is the perfect attire for the task. The chain mail hood is made of metallic knit mesh, resembling real steel mail, while the foam gauntlets have the look of heavy metal armor, without being heavy or clunky. Add a fierce looking toy sword and shield to go with your knight's chivalrous new garb, and songs will be sung for ages about their daring exploits!
Avoiding HenryAs husbands go, any royal woman in the 1500s will tell you to avoid Henry the 8th. This changeable king had a fragile ego and a hard head. He changed the course of history just so he could legally annul his marriage and marry his new crush, Anne Boleyn. Poor Anne was only queen for a short while before the tides turned and Henry became suspicious of his young wife's past and her current pastimes. We're sure the complicated politics at court certainly didn't help the queen very much! In short, the queen came to an untimely and extremely public end. Still, her style and wiles still shine bright, hundreds of years later. If she could have avoided the king's eye, we're sure that Boleyn would have been a major influencer of the 1500s!Product DetailsA staple of 16th-century fashion, this Anne Boleyn kit would look right at home in Hampton Court. The cap is trimmed in ladylike details. Pearls trim the dark green velvet headband while golden ruffles are tucked underneath for a lush effect. A black veil falls over the back, covering your hair for that distinct 1500s modesty. The large pearl necklace with a large gold-tone "B" is straight out of portraits of Anne Boleyn, making your character unmistakable!
King of the OceanOf all the Olympian gods, we'd want to be friends with Poseidon the most! His kingdom covers most of the Earth, and is filled with amazing creatures like sharks, sea horses, eels, and more. He knows where all of the sunken ships are, and where all of the best beaches can be found. Plus, his giant waves and fierce storms are incredible sights (as long as you're watching from a safe distance!) And when he's in a good mood, you'll definitely want to vacation along his kingdom's edge. Product DetailsBe ruler over all seven seas when you wear this exclusive Poseidon Costume for Boys! The outfit includes a shirt covered in big gold sequins that look like fish scales. A tan cape with an attached scarf drapes over the top and can be tucked into the wide gold-tone belt. Matching gold wrist cuffs decorate your arms and have cool fin details. Comfy green crinkle taffeta pants match the seaweed carpet in your underwater palace. A gold foam crown tops off your royal regalia! The Fun Kind of Monarch Being king seems like a lot of work - unless you're the king of the watery world. Then you could let your Great White Sharks and your mer-soldiers do all of your important stuff while you spend the day surfing waves and playing with dolphins. After all, who could be expected to sit in a throne room all day when there are so many coral reefs just waiting to be explored?
Welcome to your Templar training. First things first, and you've got to get suited up in your armor and we have to say, by the way, it looks quite good on you. You've got a real holy warrior vibe going on which we dig. Comes with the territory of being a knight of the Crusades, but some guys just don't have that internal essence to really pull it off. You do!Anyway, now that you're in your armor, we've got to train you on how to ride a horse. How to clean a blade. How to cut through a man as if he were a block of cheese. Soft cheese too. Like a nice brie. That's how good you'll be with a sword once we're done with you. Always something new to see.Oh, the treasure, right. Everyone always wants to know about the Templar treasure. Do we have one? Yes, of course. Is it a vast sum of money that could make all of us rich for the rest of our lives? Yup, we got that covered. But no, you can't have any of it. We don't ever touch the treasure. Just keep collecting it. That's kinda what being a Templar is all about...You might be asking yourself, why don't we just buy something nice for everyone? We could all go in on a hot tub or a pool table. Something! But, yeah, the treasure just sits there in that secret vault we built. Where? Oh, it's just down... hang on! Nice try there, bud. But you're a first time knight. You don't get to see the treasure till after your first Crusade. Now let's get going. It's Templar time!
You flip up the shield on your helmet and survey the battlefield. It's evident that you and your knights have won this battle. And it shouldn't come as a surprise... the years spent honing your skills at Knights Academy, and the certificate you hold in Master of the Mace Arts mean that you have a formidable reputation that precedes you. As for the rest of your troop? A lot of them may have been peasant folk a week ago, but they hold a lance with just enough strength to repel the enemy. And that's all the time you needed to start clubbing!
This costume is so wonderful, you’re bound to want to hold court and tell all your friends how fabulous you feel in it!After all, being a lady in waiting is actually a great gig. You get to live and work in the palace without all of the pressures of actual politics on your shoulders. You get to wake up surrounded by the finest art, gilded goblets, and crystal chandeliers, take baths in big porcelain bathtubs and drink tea from fine china, but you don’t need to plan executions, strategize budgets, or try to win battles. We’d take that job! Since one of your roles as a court lady is wardrobe care for her highness, you’ll want to look as though you know what you’re doing. This Lady in Waiting Costume shows the queen you are worthy of your four poster bed, velvet and satin linens, and place of privilege at her side. You'll be most welcome at court, and without a second thought as to whether you need to raise the merchant tax!Not to mention, you’ll look so stunning in this ensemble’s purple and green dress that you’ll hardly miss hitting that top tier of power. You just love walking through the royal garden with the flowing drapes of your sleeves blowing in the breeze. Yes, life here is sweet. And who knows? You may even snag yourself a knight of your very own. The perks of living at the palace never cease!
A NORDIC EXCALIBURAll mighty heroes of legends come along with their mighty implement that matches their namesake. Merlin and Arthur had their mighty blade, pulled from the stone that sang as it slashed their way into the history books. And, so, when Ragnar is ready to raid and make his fate a reality as the Earl and one-day King, you know that he isn't going to go very far at all unless he is wielding his mighty axe at his side! It is time to answer your destiny. DESIGN & DETAILSThe Seer might have plenty of wisdom to bring you to your fate, but that's all assuming you have this officially licensed Ragnar Lothbrok Axe in your hand. Our designers broke the mold to bring you this exclusive and thick plastic axe. It is expertly painted so the shaft has a weathered look and the axehead seems to have seen some serious battle. IN THE NAME OF ODINNo Viking can find their way to Valhalla without battle in their mind and a weapon in their hand. Ensure that the All-Father knows that you're his chosen warrior when you wield this exclusive Axe as seen in Vikings. Your family will be so proud as you strike your valiant pose!
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! It starts with a brown jacket that has decorative buttons along the front to give it a colonial style. The jacket has an attached vest, making it easier than ever for your child to get dressed up! 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! This Made by Us costume is a great way for any kid to dress as their hero, Benjamin Franklin!
