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
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. The costume comes with a dark blue gabardine dress that fits with a zipper down the back. It also features brass-tone round buttons down the front of the bodice. It also has pleated fabric on the shoulders and hips, which really adds to the traditional style. When you have it on, you'll feel like living on the prairie... but with a few modern amenities, of course!
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!
Imagine living in a world where nasty villain comes to your home, takes all your food and money in the name of the Prince, then he laughs in your face. Not cool, dude. Not cool at all. Well, that's the kind of place that Nottingham and Sherwood Forest. The Sheriff of Nottingham happily enforces the unfair taxes on the poor unchallenged by the common citizens. They need a hero!

All she needs is a great costume and a great imagination.This Miss Robin Hood Costume for girls lets your child look like of the classic storybook character that has a serious problem with authority.

Just make sure you arm her with some archery skills before you get her all set up in this outfit—she's going to need them if she plans on battling it out with Prince John and his dastardly soldiers.
Getting by in Colonial times was much tougher than it is today, but those settlers did what they had to do to make new lives for themselves. If you have a daughter who just can't get enough American history, this Colonial Lady Costume is her chance to step into the role of a pioneer girl!A colonist's day started long before the sun came up.

Time to Grovel Greetings, puny mortal. Welcome to the temple of the goddess. You have found her in a good mood, and she will look with favor upon your trembling devotion. It will go even better for you if you have remembered to bring a small gift to show your loyalty to her beautiful self. A word of advice: Live goats and sheep are so two milleniums ago.

Patron of Beauty and Brunch This goddess dress is celestially lovely, and perfect for wearing if you don't want to tie yourself to a specific mythology. It certainly adapts itself well to both Athena's dignified wisdom, Hecate's spooky magic, and Aphrodite's sultry fashion sense (which is pretty incredible when you think about it), but you could also declare yourself to be an entirely new goddess. Someone still has to claim the role of taco deity, for instance. The title of Goddess of Having Perfectly Smooth Hair Even When It's Really Humid and Hot Out title is also up for grabs.

Under the Sea EdictsIt's your first day as Neptune, ruler of the seas. What's on your agenda? Are you sending armies of stinging jellyfish to punish tourists that let their wrappers and cans blow into the ocean while they laze on the beach?

A hole for the mouth allows you to speak clearly, which is a good thing because sound does strange things under the sea!

RISE, SER GAL-AHAD!When King Arthur is getting ready to launch his final go for the Holy Grail and make that tragic attempt to save the world and bring everyone together for an eternity of bliss, isn't it frustrating that things get all muddled up? You know the story. Jealousy, betrayal, and a whole mess of misunderstandings that even Merlin couldn't unravel. And, now, here we are... waiting for the Once and Future King to try to fix everything a second time.We figure that if only we had the right knights at the Round Table in the first place, we'd have been able to avoid all that mess! Of course, the first step in making the world much better is tapping the Sword of Kings on the shoulder of your little lass. To heck with the idea that gals can't stand up for the chivalric code. We cannot wait for our Lady Knights in shining armor to go hacking at the monsters and saving a few innocent lads!DESIGN & DETAILSLet your little one hoist up her sword and proclaim her oath when she dons this Medieval Knight costume for the gals!

We're a little low on horses in our stables, but we do have plenty of sword accessories and even a few stuffed horsies that might do the job until her true quest begins!
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!

It can be very "edu-taining," and your little ren faire fan can get in on the fun in our exclusive Toddler Renaissance Man Costume! Renaissance costumes are definitely some of the coolest period costumes to wear. They can be very colorful and elaborate, or they can also be very practical and earthy, but they all look fun. What will your toddler imagine they are doing while they are wearing this costume? They might pretend to be a merchant, trading goods and wares all around the countryside.

While everyone searches endlessly for the most shared memes, the most relevant pop culture, and the most timely politics to inspire their costumes this year, wouldn't you rather prop your feet up on a nice, big stone and enjoy the simpler things in life? Like attire made from the coats of wild jungle cats. And fire-roasted squirrel. And we mustn't overlook the dry safety of a hole in the wall....No? Well, even if that's not your thing, we've got the perfect costume if you aim to let some other primal instincts loose this Halloween. Even if squirrel stew somehow doesn't pique your interest, consider the hilarity that could ensue if you made "sorry, it's just my instincts" your sole excuse for all your wild behavior. You ate all the deviled eggs? "Not sorry, I haven't eaten in four moons." You got caught dancing on the host's dining room table? "Sorry, but it's a ritualistic, instinctual thing you modern bipeds wouldn't understand." You are being interrogated over the scent of snacks emanating from your purse and coat pockets? "While you all are hunting each other, someone around here has to be the gatherer." This one-shoulder sheath mini-dress will make a perfect costume for exploring any of the above possibilities—or for forgetting about the complexities of modernity and dancing like the animal you are. We approve wholeheartedly of the aforementioned scenarios, but cannot promise that all your instinctual impulses will be necessarily "lawful." Exercise caution—but not too much, you wild thing.

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.

He’s number two!Poor John Adams! His presidency came after George Washington’s, and it was pretty hard to compete with the very first president of the United States. But John Adams is actually pretty cool in his own right. This Founding Father wasn’t only the first vice president and second president of a fledgling country.

Action HeroIn comic books, superheroes save the day quickly. There's a big "Pow" followed by a "Kurthwop" and "Yoink". But for real-life heroes, the fight lasts a lot longer than a panel. Often, the fight lasts a lifetime. For Susan B Anthony, that fight started when she attended a suffragette event with her family and the age of twenty-eight. She was instantly inspired. Soon, she was the one making speeches but that's not all. She wrote articles, organized marches, and eventually, she was arrested for defying authority and casting her ballot in an election. Some people would have assumed going to jail would stop a proper Victorian woman but Susan knew her arrest simply brought more attention to her cause. Susan B Anthony didn't let anyone or anything stop her until her death in her late eighties. If fifty-eight years of devoted social action doesn't make you an action hero, what does?Design & DetailsThe perfect way to celebrate Susan B. Anthony's cause, this suffragette costume would have looked right at place on the streets of 19th Century New York. Designed by our creative team, this dress zips up the back yet has historical details that any young history buff will delight in such as the decorative buttons up one side of the skirt and the ruffled high neckline. A purple and green banner with "Votes for Women" is draped over the bodice and a matching button is attached to the breast. A wide brim hat finishes the whole look off, making sure that your little suffragette is ready to march, no matter the weather. Girl PowerIf your child loves the women leaders of history, celebrating Susan B. Anthony is a great place to start. A great costume for school projects, Victorian fairs, and even Halloween, your child is sure to do Susan proud as she continues to fight for the rights of women around the world!
This is Sparta!King Leonidas has quite a problem. Greece's greatest enemies, the Persians, are trying to invade! He's going to need to gather up as many of his countrymen as possible to protect his beloved homeland. He knows he'll need the help of the mighty Spartan warriors, but will they be able to crawl over to the battlefield in time to join into the fray? Or will they over-sleep during naptime and miss the whole thing?Leonidas calls his men to sound the alarm and shake the battle rattles, alerting everyone to the critical situation.

It’s well know that kids are friggen inquisitive. They can ask so many Why or What’s that questions per hour that they’ll either turn into geniuses or witness the decline of the focus of their interrogation from good-intentioned human fast into maddened and whimpering folk, curling for protection in the fetal position in a corner. Yet, still, they will loom over us and inquire, “Why are you doing that?”Rather than attempt to convince these clever inquisitors to halt their investigations, we find it is better to redirect their energies into more productive avenues.

Back in the day, taverns weren't just cozy bars with quaint names, they were rough and tumble places! And that's why every tavern needed a fair maiden. She'd be there not only to sweep up the filth-strewn straw and collect the silver for the drinks but to add an air of civility to the atmosphere. She'd encourage people to sing a distracting ditty before two burly knights could challenge one another to a duel over who got to sit on the stool with four legs. She'd usher the local well-loved outlaw out the back door just as the Sherrif sauntered in. This is all to say, the simple tavern maiden is the Meddeival diplomat!You'll look the part when you're wearing this sassy costume. Perfect for plays, Rennaissance fairs, and costume parties alike, this costume is the perfect balance of sweet and salty!

Asgard's Mightiest WarriorsAncient Greece isn't the only land to have a ferociously talented band of revered women warriors.

Ax us no questions and we'll tell you no liesWe went back in time and polled a Viking village from the sixteenth century about their preferred battle weapons. Honestly, it didn't go very well because the people we elected to go in and take the poll were taken captive in an instant. The Viking warriors took their tablets, their sunglasses, and raincoats. The little warrior kids even snatched Anthony's pocket protector. So if an anthropologist discovers what looks like the first ancient Best Buy in Northern Norway, they can give us a call and hear the story. We did get an answer, by the way. Anthony ended up charming his way into the community by breaking out his early nineties rap routine. Lucky for our data, he had grown up as a beatboxing nerd. Once he had warmed them up the Viking warriors let him know that the two-handed ax is the only way to go when it comes to heading into battle. Product DetailsYou'll love the hand-made look of this ax. The handle is long and has a warm color. The ax head is silver with Nordic details stamped into the metallic finish. Big, Bad, and Battle-readyWhether you're dressing up for Halloween or you're heading out for LARPing, this ax will make you feel ready for the shield wall. It'll pair well with any of our Viking costumes. Plus, as all the other Viking's know, the two-handed ax is the only way to go!

Fun Sherlock Holmes fact: The phrase "Elementary, my dear Watson" does not appear anywhere in the writings of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Holmes's creator. It is a line from the 1929 movie The Return of Sherlock Holmes, spoken by actor Clive Brook in the title role. According to anecdotes the phrase MAY have also been used earlier, by actor/playwright William Gillette in an 1899 stage production of Sherlock Holmes, but there is no written evidence of that. Interesting, no?? These are the types of things you can tell people all Halloween long... and you can also keep an eye on that Dr. Moriarty and make sure he's not doing anything weird at the party like stealing lightbulbs or thumb tacks, that sort of thing.

The Ancient Egyptians knew that royalty was a grand mandate of divinity. Their pharaohs were reincarnated forms of the great sun god, Ra. Because, what is better than being King than being a God-King!? Challenged to bring their people to untold prosperity while competing with somewhere between 6 and 40,419 gods of death, those rulers had no end to their stress! And, worse, those who were disturbed or ruled unwisely might rise as mummies, forever tormented to wander the sands until the rightful pharaoh might come and return them to their slumber. So, maybe being king isn’t always the easiest of paths in life!But, still, the best thing about the pharaohs were that we had no specific limitations on who might be named! Those with the divine right would be raised, no matter who they were. Man, woman, or even kiddos were all eligible if they possessed the wisdom to rule… at least for a while. The great King Tutankhamen, the boy king, became one of the most famously known names in even our modern era.And, reincarnation is still a thing, even these many years later.

The headpiece is a black velvet fabric with golden stripes and a soft sculpted cobra with gleaming emerald eyes. Let your tyke reign forever as the God-King Tutankhamen and, even if the rule doesn’t last forever, you know that a mummy could be a great option next year!

Prepare for War The enemy Saxons think that they're safe. They have no idea what's in store! Just off the coast of the kitchen floats a Viking longboat. Its dragon figurehead is a fearsome sight, but no less terrifying is the band of courageous, ferocious warriors armed to the teeth with their preferred prop weapons.

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.

Home, Home On the PlainsThe plains might have been where the deer and the antelope roamed. And yeah, sure you might not have heard a discouraging word very often. But that doesn't change the fact that life in the prairie was crazy challenging. The land was ripe for planting once you plowed up the sod. But then you had to hope that a mob of grasshoppers wouldn't fly through eating everything in their path including the clothes hanging from the clothesline, the clothesline, and very curtains on your windows. And if it wasn't a year when locusts were popular you could worry about crazy fast wildfires, drought, and well water contamination. You probably know the drill if you've ever played Oregon Trail. But even though life on the plains was so hard, people still did it! And they managed to stay looking perfectly sweet while doing so!Product Details & DesignThis Made-By-Us costume has little details that'll make you stand out from all the other pioneers.
