Got Any More of that Pigeon Pie?Ahh, life in the middle ages, that was when it was at. It was an era when all you needed to mend your roof was a bunch of dry twigs and sticks like the ones pictured here. People were eating crazy foods like roasted hedgehogs and pies with live animals in them (this was an amusement rather than an actual course of the meal). There were no songs singing, "Baby, baby, baby" all over again. Instead, lyrics were all about the "Hey, Nonni Nonni" instead. Who's Nonni? No idea. But what a fun word to sing! Yeah, the Renaissance Era had it's up and downs. People weren't really into bathing and there was a little bug going around called "the plague". But in the end, we all know deep down inside that those people from the Medieval Era just have more fun. Product DetailsYour child will be ready to celebrate Midsommers Eve in Medieval style with this classy Renaissance Boy costume. He'll look right at home playing page boy to a night with the billowy sleeves of the blouse that's layered under a jerkin. (That's a fancy historical word for vest) The look comes together with elastic-waisted pants and a wide faux leather belt that cinches the waist in. Have a Peasant Day!While the nobility might live in castles and rock all the velvet clothing, we like to think that the lower classes have more fun. They definitely have better dances! No matter what rank your kid is aiming for, they'll tread the line with this simple look. Dress it up with a fancy hat, dress it down with a little dirt on the cheeks. Whether you're heading to the Ren Fair with the whole family or your child simply wants to go the historical route for Halloween, he'll be ready to let out a healthy, "Hey, Nonni Nonni" once he throws on this cool look!
Your airship is coming apart at the seams. You need to do something to keep it all together. Go grab your blowtorch, and your welding gear because you need to start fixing it now. If you don't get it fixed now the whole ship will go down. Everything you have built gone forever. All the people, the ones who are so loyal to you, will have no home, no job. You better get to work.But crud, where are your welding goggles? Oh, that's right, your last pair broke in the last storm. Well, we have these Cyber Steam goggles to replace your old pair. They will protect your eyes from the brightness of the blow torch. And they will let you get on with fixing your ship. When you are all done, just put them on a top hat so they don't get lost, or broken again.
The Marvelous Montague Let's face it: The Capulets are just jealous of your swagger. That's the only reason for them to be continuing this silly feud instead of inviting you to their big masquerade party. The joke's on them, though: You never wait to be invited when there's a good time to be had! And thank goodness for your spirit of adventure, because without it, you certainly would never have met a certain lovely Capulet lady. An epic love story like this one can only end well... right? Product DetailsDefy fate and channel one of history's most famous characters when you wear this exclusive Star-Crossed Romeo Costume for Boys! The velour top fastens behind its mock-turtleneck collar and is decorated with an inset panel and puffed sleeves that are printed with a pattern of metallic gold swirls. A black faux leather belt fastens around your waist and features a gold-tone buckle. The velour pants are cropped below your knees and have elastic in each cuff. Your crowning touch is the Tudor-style cap bedecked with a bright red feather. Wherefore Art Thou? We can only imagine that the Bard himself would thoroughly approve of a costume like this one. It's perfect both for Halloween fun and for taking the stage as one of Shakespeare's best-loved heroes. Maybe your director will even let you use real swords for your duel with Tybalt, but if not, don't worry. There's still lots more fun to be had. Daggers and poison tend to make stories pretty exciting.

Fashion on the MountGods and goddesses on Mount Olympus are always well dressed. Fine linens, laurel leaves dipped in gold, and so many wrap arm bands. It makes sense that deities would want to look fabulous. They're always making questionable choices so they have to look good to really get away with it. Look at Zeus. He tricked his first wife into turning into a fly and ate her. Yeah. Messed up, right? If you're going to fess up to something like that, you've gotta be one of Olympus's best dressed. Really, if we step back and look at the mythology of Olympus, the stories of the gods and goddesses worked like one of the first reality shows. Get ready to top off an outfit with golden goddess accessories that'll make you ready to face whatever drama deities start throwing your way!Product DetailsThese golden accessories will make you feel elegant and ready to take on some mystical powers. Faux leather arm bands and a golden bracelet fit comfortably around your arms. Take on a crown with a double-strapped headband that adjusts at the back for the right fit. Pair this set with one of our Greek or Roman goddess costumes or the toga or maxi dress of your choice and you'll be ready to step into the halls of Mount Olympus!
Diety DramaIf there's one thing we know about the ancient gods, they love a bit of drama. Whether it was love or war, they couldn't help getting involved in mortal trouble. They blessed those that entertained them the most, watching as we humans launched ships and attacked lands simply because the most beautiful woman in the world left her husband. Knowing what we know about the gods, it's safe to say they love reality television. They no longer need to meddle in our affairs, we broadcast them for all the world to see. That's nice for everyone in Olympus but we can't help but feel that we're missing out. Wouldn't it be nice if the gods came down and stirred up some good old-fashioned deity drama every once in a while?Costume DetailsThis brilliant gold and white Greek God costume is perfect for making an entrance worthy of Olympus. The costume includes a lightweight toga trimmed in gold. The elastic waistline is disguised with a golden sash. A gold cape is draped over the shoulders so that mortals know that you're someone important at first glance. Complete with gold gauntlets and a laurel wreath crown, the He's a God Costume is ready for costume events and toga parties as soon as it arrives.Complete CharacterDo you want to develop your character? Make it obvious what God you're supposed to be. Don't forget to accessorize! Going for Bacchus? Nice! You're going to want a large goblet and some grapes. Zeus? Bring a lightning bolt along. And remember, whatever god you're dressing up as, just don't forget to bring the drama!
You hear that sound off in the distance? Yup, that's a Gjallarhorn. And that doesn't just mean that soon you'll be in battle with your fellow Viking brethren. Yes, it means that. But it also means that you're going to be battling alongside the gods in the final battle of Ragnarok. Do you think you have what it takes to join them?No, of course, you don't. Because you don't have this adult Viking helmet yet! You sure can't be expected to head into battle without the right gear, and if you need gear for your head (trust us, you do!) you're going to want to add this detailed helmet to your Viking costume.Styled like something a real warrior might have worn into battle, this mask covers part of the face, for maximum protection during combat. Of course, this mask will just be used for costume fun and not real action, but that's no reason not to look authentic as possible, right?This signature mask is made and designed by us, and you're only going to find it for sale right here at HalloweenCostumes.com. So pick it up, and when it arrives, all you'll have to do is wait patiently for that horn to sound!
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!
We can’t all be Caesar! Well, wait a second… maybe we can. With a Gold Caesar Circlet, it’s pretty easy to at least feel like a Roman Emperor. Hopefully you’ll run more toward the Augustus side than Caligula or Nero, but hey, we hear they threw great parties! If you can’t tell, it’s not a bracelet (unless you’re the Hulk). No, this circlet is a golden crown, meant to resemble a laurel wreath which symbolized victory in war to the ancient Romans.You can be a Roman general returning in triumph after a battle in Gaul or Asia Minor, a gladiator who’s won his freedom at the Colosseum, or an early Olympic athlete in this Gold Caesar Circlet. It’s a perfect accessory for any Greek- or Roman-style costume, or a decadent addition to any look really. We can certainly imagine Kanye wearing it with red leather or oversized sweats more than a toga. If you have the ego of an emperor, this Gold Caesar Circlet will communicate it to the world for you so you don’t have to be so commanding.

Angel of the BattlefieldLife as a soldier in the Civil War was pretty brutal. The conditions were awful. Any injury could be life-threatening and medical care was scant. With these dismal circumstances, it's no wonder that the capable Clara Barton was known as the angel of the battlefield! She would go out to distribute life-saving care, washing wounds, changing bandages, offering water and soup to the miserable soldiers in the muck and smoke. Her courage on the battlefield was famous. This led the way to make sure women could take on the role of battlefield nurse with an element of respect. After the war, Ms. Barton traveled to Switzerland, learning about all the good the European Red Cross was doing. She came home determined to open an American sector of The Red Cross. She worked with fellow famous friends such as Fredrick Douglas to make her vision a reality. Clara Barton continued to devote herself to life-saving medical outreach until she retired at the ripe old age of 83. We hope she got a chance to spend a few years with her feet up and a tropical drink in your hand!Design & DetailsThis historical Made By Us Clara Barton costume was designed by our in-house creative team. The floor-length blue poplin gown has a built-in petticoat and it zips up the back. A white apron with a red cross on the chest ties around your waist for a neat look. Matching white cuffs slip over the billowy sleeves for a battle field-ready look. Topped off with a white bonnet, this costume is ready for historical reenactments and costume parties, alike!History in MotionAre you ready to take on the iconic role of Clara Barton? Pair this with historical costumes such as civil war uniforms or characters such as Fredrick Douglas and you'll be ready to tell Clara Barton's epic tale!
When you're the ruler of the greatest ancient empire on the Nile river, you don't have to worry about what anything costs. Your only concern is keeping up with the most fabulous fashion of the time. You had to make sure everything was adorned in gorgeous jewels, flaked in gold, or made of the most luxurious Egyptian linens. Everything was at your fingertips as far as your great river would stretch. With ruling all of those people, we suppose you had earned it though. Maybe that and a few statues of yourself dotting the riverbanks. A pyramid just for you? So it shall be written, so it shall be done!

While your waiting, this fantastic King Tut headband will be a fantastic place holder to prepare you for the real deal.
Making a MarkThink about it. With nothing more than a few bolts of cloth, some thread, and some nimble fingers, Betsy Ross created one of the most iconic symbols in all of American history. It's had a few updates since the very first flag was crafted in 1776, but the basic design remains mostly unchanged since then. After all, why mess with perfection, right? She was one of the first women to leave their mark in America and we think that's pretty cool! It's why we decided to make a costume based on the iconic figure!Our costume designers look at classic paintings of Betsy Ross to draw inspiration for this historical costume for women, and they did a great job of creating a look that captures her sense of ingenuity!Design & DetailsThis Betsy Ross Costume for women will help you carry on the legacy of one of America's most amazing women! It starts with a blue floral dress that has a white skirt on the front portion. The dress has lace on the sleeves to help give it an authentic look. The costume also comes with a white shawl that fits around your shoulders and ties in front. The included choker is blue to match the dress and fits around your neck. Finally, the white hat brings the whole look together by giving you a colonial style that looks like it came straight from the American Revolution!Perfect for July 4th!If you love history, then you might want to recreate the iconic moment when Betsy created the first U.S. flag! Of course, this costume also works great if you plan on celebrating the 4th of July, or as an outfit for the plays and pageants! Just be sure to pair this costume up with a classic American Flag (not included) to finish the look.
Be the God of the SeaBeing the ruler of the oceans and seas seems like a pretty decent gig. After all, being the god who controls the seas means that you get to spend a ton of time relaxing on the beach. Just think about that! You get to be the king of surfing waves and drinking tropical fruit drinks while you lay around on a beach towel. You get to be master of challenging the pantheon of Greek gods to a game of volleyball. You probably could even get the honorary title of Marco Polo champion.Yes, being the Greek “God of the Sea” certainly must come with its perks. It’s really quite a shame that you weren’t born into the pantheon… but maybe there’s another way for you to enjoy being the ruler of the sea.Design & DetailsThis adult Poseidon costume turns you into the one and only master of the seas.

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

If a man was a Viking, he was tough by definition. Violence was normal, he was most comfortable when forming a shield wall with his tribe. For Vikings, the world was a brutal place. The icy winds of the sea would have been whistling in the ears of the Norsemen since they were babes in the arms of their equally tough mothers. They were handling battle axes as soon as they could tottle around. With that harsh environment, it's no wonder they grew all the hair they could to protect them from the multitude of unforgiving elements, from the cold weather of the Norwegian seaside to the flying debris of the battlefield. You can't transform yourself into a Viking warrior if you ignore the epic long hair and beards of these northerners. The red locks of this wig are typical of people with Norse heritage. All you need now is one of those horned helmets and you're ready for battle. Now, shout it out with your fellow Norsemen, "Shield Wall!"
If you think that all Child Tan Pants are pretty much interchangeable, you're sorely mistaken. Unless by interchangeable you mean that a pair of brown-ish breeches makes a great addition to any number of costumes. If what you really think is that our exclusive Child Tan Pants are no better than beige leggings from any haberdasher or five and dime, you're in for a big surprise!Huh. To our surprise, there aren't a lot of haberdashers or five and dimes left. Technically, even though a fresh pair of our Child Tan Pants would boast finer fit and finish, their musty old pants might still hold some value among collectors of vintage legwear. We learn something new every day!Well, our Child Tan Pants are tailored to wearers of modern-day child-size pants, and we hope that means you (or your child-sized companions). Because otherwise we have no idea why we feel the need to prattle on about this superior set of slacks!
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!
A New QueenHear ye! Hear ye! There’s a royal announcement on the way!Princess? That was so five minutes ago!

And this Girls Renaissance Queen Costume is luxurious and rich enough to befit the most powerful of monarchs. All the fair maidens will be envious of her fortune when she steps out to greet her subjects along the trick or treat route.Product DetailsThe light blue velvet shimmers in the light and the long outer sleeves drape elegantly when she raises her hands to rule (and reach for the treats). All the royal jewels appear on this costume, like strands of pearls draped at the gown’s neckline and faux gems on the gold brooches holding them in place. The dress collar stands up just like a fine Renaissance Queen’s should, and it’s covered in pleated netting like a ruff. Gold diamonds are printed on the off white skirt inset. And then there’s her crown – literally the crowning glory of her dress and her reign. It’s gleaming gold plastic and is covered in faux diamonds and will inspire all of her royal subjects to cry out, “All hail little queen!”
Top historians from all over the world, even the ones who are total ninnies, can all agree to at least one fundamental academic principle: that knights are totally the coolest guys ever, even cooler than ninjas, pirates, and zombies combined. You have your Knights of Columbus, champions of charity and fundraising barbecues across the country. You have your Dark Knight, proof that the greatest superpower is money. And you have your Knights of the Round Table, saving damsels and calculating the airspeed velocity of unladen swallows around the clock.Do you have what it takes to be a knight? To wake up at the crack of dawn to practice your, horsemanship, chivalry, and head-chopping-off skills? Do you have the gumption to hunt down heretics the world over? Do you have the decency to die face down in the muck because you can’t get up thanks to the 150 pounds of plate armor you’re wearing?If you’re anything like us, definitely not. Doesn’t matter though, because all you need to live the chivalrous lifestyle nowadays is our Renaissance Coat. With this matching coat, belt, and pair of gauntlets you’ll have your look all set for any pageant, party, or role-playing event your quest can throw at you. Knaves will cower in terror as your triumphant shadow casts over them. You won’t be able to even keep track of the damsels wooed by your presence, and maybe a few crones too. It’s that potent!
King of an Ancient RealmWe hear all about Greek and Roman gods all the time. We get it. Mount Olympus. Thunderbolts. But what is up with the Egyptian gods? What's going on with those immortal dudes? You might know a few basics. There's Anubis, the jackal-headed fella who judged newly expired souls. Then there's the diva, Isis. She was a boss, a healer and giver of life she also inspired mummies! That's right, without this strong woman there would be no mummies or mummy curses. Now, there are plenty more impressive deities but they all had one thing in common. All the gods were super impressed with all things shiny. That's why Egyptian rulers would dress to the nines at all times. Jewelry, makeup, and golden clothing were the royal standard because a really good outfit was sure to earn the god's admiration. Want to become an ancient royal with divine cred? This costume is a sure way to go!Product DetailsThis golden costume is bright and dignified with a white, pleated kilt. The skirt is known as a shendyt in ancient Egypt but don't you dare ask us how to pronounce that. A panel falls from the waist with Egyptian symbols embossed on the surface. The top has a scale pattern, reminiscent of chain mail. A gold cape hangs from the shoulders and it's complemented with a gold draping headdress. Gauntlets compliment this costume, making you look ready to take on ancient world enemies!Has a King to ItReady to take on Ramses' identity? Ramesses II is one of the most famous Egyptian kings. He's known for expanding his kingdom, taking over Canaan and parts of Nubia. This fella even took on pirates. How cool is that? Looking to create the perfect couple's costume? Ramses was married to the iconic queen, Nefertiti! Step out in ancient style when you don the gold splendor of this Egyptian look!
WHO MIGHT YOU BE?The best part of being in a medieval world is that you could be anyone. Of course, that's also part of what makes the whole thing just a little scary. That cheerful lad down the street running a market cart and trying his best to be proud about day-old muffins? He's actually an assassin waiting to deliver the poisoned bread to a noblewoman! That dirty-faced tavern lass sweeping dry mud from the floor for the sixth time today? A princess hiding from her father's guard! So, when we heard that there was someone new in town, our interest was understandably piqued. Which role in our medieval village will you fill with your seemingly simple appearance? Are you the happy tavern-goer just glad that you have enough silver in your pouch to put your feet up? Do you have ambitions to wed one of the nobility and join the ranks of high society? Are you secretly a wizard in regular clothing, muttering your magics under your breath? DESIGN & DETAILSSet out on your fantastic destiny in a world gone by with this Medieval Merry Man Costume. This look was put together by our own team of design wizards and features a one-piece tunic that casts the illusion of being layered. The ivory jersey sleeves are full and loose. For a clever crafting trick, they are sewn a couple of inches under the sleeveless tunic so it looks like you're fully garbed. Brown cord lacing gives the tunic a period look while the belt and loose-fit pants complete the theme! TIME TO MAKE HISTORYWhen you're dressed like you were part of an older time, it is up to you to decide exactly how everything went down. We can't wait to hear about the stories that you told with this costume. Best part is that with this costume's high-quality construction, there are several tales to be told!

Ready for the Tourney The duty of a squire is to ensure that their knight is always prepared for anything that they need. That means securing their armor when they are setting out, shining up their horse's shoes after a long day's work, and making sure that their weapons are always at the ready. Between all of the tournaments that a knight competes in and the occasional evil knight that they have to confront, it is critical that everything is ready to go. So, let us be your squire and get you ready to claim victory!Design & DetailsThe first step is making sure that you're ready to hoist this Medieval Lance. Our Made by Us team put this together in-house from molded plastic pieces that easily fit together into a 50" toy weapon.

So come on in, pull up a stool to the bar and have a drink with Cliff, the scroll-delivery man and Norm, whatever he does for a living. And then there's Frasier, Diane, basically, everybody knows your title at the tavern (Alright so it's not exactly Cheers but can't it at least feel that way?!). The best thing about Renaissance taverns is that no one hassles you for spending all your time there. Plenty of bar wenches to leer at too, once you've had one too many mugs of beer. And taverns are great places to find adventures!Yes, that's right, adventures. You never know when you'll bump into a knight on his way to slay a dragon. Or perhaps an eccentric old wizard, who turned his apprentice into a frog and must now journey to the forbidden forests to retrieve a pure witch's eye for his cure potion. Or maybe some of the king's men will come in, demanding free drinks and grabbing a wench for fun. Or maybe some rioting townspeople are planning to burn you at the stake because they think you're responsible for the drought. Oh dear. Taverns seem pretty dangerous, now that we think of it. Why are dangerous people always ending up in taverns? Next think you know, that knight will be leading a dragon right to you. And those townspeople will start a bonfire for you. Either that or people will start calling you the town drunk, which, let's face it, you are. How could you not be? You spend every waking moment (and many passed out moments) in that tavern drinking.
A Little Home on the Open PlainsLife for early settlers could be challenging. Sometimes, they lived in sod houses that literally started out as holes in the ground! They had dirt for floors and dirt for ceilings, and there was no indoor plumbing. They had to grow and hunt almost all of their own food, and they could get snowed in during blizzards for weeks at a time. (Talk about going stir crazy!) Farming was even more difficult 150 years ago than it is today, since they didn't have tractors or other modern machinery. And it could take hours to get to the nearest town, since they didn't have cars and had to rely on cranky mules or horses.But there was still some fun despite all the hard work. Settler kids got to play exciting games like "Who Has the Button?", where one kid would guess which other kid in the group had a button, and "Cat's Cradle," where they used string to make shapes. Okay, maybe those aren't the most exciting games... But they also got to wear really cute pioneer dresses!Product DetailsWhether she's out on the prairie, on the banks of Plum Creek, in the Big Woods or on the shores of Silver Lake, your little settler will feel right at home in this Girl's Red Frontier Settler Costume. The cute long-sleeved dress dress is 100 percent polyester and has an adorable white pinafore sewn to the front at the waist and shoulders. The dress has a hook-and-loop fastener at the back center, along with elastic at the waist and sleeve cuffs for a comfy fit. There's also a lovely petticoat underneath. The costume comes with a brown checkered bonnet that has a stiffened brim, elastic at the back and same-fabric chin ties.A Pretty PioneerWith this Girl's Red Frontier Settler Costume, your little pioneer will be ready to rule her one-room school house and always take first place at every game involving a piece of string!
Founders KeepersWith the Hamilton musical, the founding fathers are really getting a comeback! Now, we're not saying that they are going to show up on the cover of Rolling Stone any time. But in this day and age, it's fascinating to look at what these guys did with very few resources, freedom, and technology. Each founding father played their role. Washington was the military genius that buoyed America's revolution forward. Hamilton was the hardworking idealist. And good ol' Benny. Well, he was the mad scientist turned socialite turned diplomat. When he wasn't hobnobbing with the French to get them to fund our independence seeking war he was inventing ways of preventing disastrous lightning fires or trying to get the idea of bifocals off the ground. And when he wasn't working he was taking one of his infamous "air baths". We won't go into it, the visuals are with us but they don't have to be with you. So when it comes to dressing as a founding father, we all know the Benjamin Franklin is the most entertaining character there is out there even with his receding hairline. pProduct DetailsWhether this costume is for a historical reenactment, a play, or just for fun, you're sure to get in character as soon as you slip it on. The jacket is layered over a full vest and is accented with a cravat tie. The long coat will make you feel official as you make your entrance into both European and American courts. The short pants have an elastic waist, letting your outfit stay tucked in and you remain comfortable. Making HistoryYou'll go down in costume party lore when you show up to any Halloween bash dressed as the gregarious Benjamin Franklin. All you need to do is top off this look with our hilarious receding hairline Benjamin Franklin wig and you'll be ready to spread the word of our new nation. Hey, play your cards right and you might even come up with a few inventions as the evening goes by. Never hurts to step into the shoes of a genius!
Modern Age MedusaWe often wonder what would happen if the Medusa was around in our modern age. We know that people who looked her directly in the eyes would turn to stone. That much would still apply. But what about video calls? If she rang someone up on Zoom would they turn to stone on the other end or would they be able to talk over her plans for renovating the ruins she's been living in over the past thousand years? Then again, would she be able to go out and about without anyone turning into marble if she wore a pair of sunglasses? Or does one glance at the rest of her face make you sedimental? Maybe stepping into Medusa's shoes for a day would give us a little inside to the rules and regulations of modern-day Medusa!Design & DetailsThis gorgeous Made By Us Medusa costume channels Ancient Greek mythology from head to toe. The featured dress flows beautifully and is trimmed with a golden geometric pattern around the hemline. A subtle snakeskin sash is layered over the top, falling down one side in a toga-like fashion. Cinched at the middle with a jeweled snakeskin belt, the dress is sure to make your child feel mystical as soon as she slips it on. The legendary ensemble is topped off with a golden crown with distinctly snake-like shapes jutting from the top. Love the hair our model is rocking? Check out our wigs to get this little Medusa's full look!Tipping the ScalesWhile most kids are a little scared of snakes, this ensemble is sure to make your child feel powerful! While it's perfect for Halloween, your kid might want to break it out to do a project on the Medusa story in school or put together a skit at home. After all, when you have a costume that's this legendary, you just can't take it for granite!

Why should you try to hide your greatness? The ancient Pharaohs from Egypt never tried to conceal just how awesome they were! They build giant monuments to themselves during their rule and enormous pyramids to house their bodies after death. They wore some luxurious jewelry and plenty of gold and shiny stones. Truly, they were the original ballers of the world! It’s about time that you followed the footsteps of the most lavish kings to ever rule the ancient world. It’s time for this All Powerful Pharaoh costume for men.Our costume designers pulled out all the stops on this high quality outfit! This men’s Egyptian style costume brings you the look of an ancient king, complete with a black bodysuit, belt and wrap. The pieces have shimmering gold accents to give you a regal look that will make any subject feel your awesome might. The belt even has golden hieroglyphics on it for added effect. Of course, no pharaoh costume would be complete without some great accessories, so this one comes with a cape, some gold armbands and a luxurious headpiece that looks like something that King Tut would wear. What else could a king ask for (except complete and total subservience from his servants)?So, don’t hide away! Stand tall and proudly proclaim your birthright to the throne… or at the very least have a really magnificent time dressing like an ancient king. When you wear this costume, you can choose any of the great Egyptian Pharaohs. We suggest you go as Ramesses the Great, because he’s a total boss.
What we do in life... echoes in eternity.So says General Maximus at the beginning of the classic Ridley Scott film, Gladiator. While that is some expertly written and memorable dialogue, we hope it's also a true statement. But we have no idea! What do we look like, metaphysicists?? We don't know what happens in eternity! But if our life echoes within it, we're glad you're taking a look at this officially licensed General Maximus costume, because it's epic enough to wear forever.The only thing we'd advise against is getting into any actual Roman battles wearing this thing. It's made of latex and not metal as it appears. That being said, you could probably frighten some barbarians with it, but we don't really recommend that either. That would require a costly trip to Germany, and also a time machine to around 180AD. That's also where you'd have to go to get the real version of this armor. Since that technology doesn't exist, we think our version is an amazing first realistic choice!Since this costume has incredible details and quality (How about that realistic armor and fur trimmed cape? It's straight out of the movie!) we think you should go to a party, wait for the exact right moment, then step up into the spotlight and give an incredible, awe-inspiring speech to all your fellow party-goers. That's what Maximus would do! You'll be remembered in poetry and song as the greatest general Rome had ever seen... to give a rousing speech while holding a red Solo cup."Brothers! What we drink tonight... will echo in our bodies tomorrow, and possibly eternity!"*drink responsibly

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.

A Seat at the Round TableGuinevere wasn't only the Queen of Camelot, she was also the queen of interior design. Before she came along, all meeting halls only had long tables where people had to shout battle plans and fighting ideas from one end to the other. The long table that Guinevere gifted to her husband, Arthur, changed meetings up for good. The new design merged aesthetics and meeting logistics and officially opened the way for her to remodel the Camelot castle.As we all know, Camelot ended up being one of the raddest castles of the time. She brightened up the cold, dark stone walls with sprigs of dried flowers and copper accented sconces. Velvet curtains made the bedrooms for all the twenty-five knights of the round table warm and cozy in the winter months. Sometimes people even give her credit for making house plants a thing. It's said she hung Maiden's Hair ferns from the rafters to filter the somewhat filthy Medieval air. Way to go, Gwen!Product DetailsYou'll feel right at home among the cozy tapestries and lush curtains of Camelot when you put on this lovely Guinevere gown. The base fabric is soft with a light sheen. Luxurious gold-trimmed long sleeves fall from the fitted forearms of this ensemble. The wide neckline is accented with a printed floral design while the v-waistline is accented with metallic embroidered trim that falls down the front of the skirt. The look is topped off with a golden crown sporting jewels that match the yellow flowers printed on the bodice. Order in the CourtWith a queen like you around, we're sure all of Arthur's knights are sure to be on their best behavior. No jousting in swordplay in your halls, that's for sure! So whether you're headed to a feast at your local Renaissance Fair, you're in a play, or simply want to look extra dignified for Halloween, you'll slip into the royal role with regal ease in this gorgeous ensemble.
Warrior PoseAre you ready to get in touch with your inner shieldmaiden? Us modern folks might have to do a little toughening up before we step into her fur-lined boots. Growing up as a Viking she probably has swum in the icy water of the fjords from the time she was a little girl. We've seen her take blows in battle. We've seen her plot to come back to the top after her position is threatened by both men and women in her life. She doesn't give up. As one of the toughest Vikings around, she always ends up on top!Details & DesignOur designers were pumped to put together this licensed Lagertha costume from the hit series, Vikings.

And when your friend is complaining about that jerk at work shout, "shield wall!" and confront the problem. Or you could just get in touch with your inner Viking with this rugged Lageartha costume. Just make sure you keep your shield on hand. Lagertha is always ready for a fight!

And you're in a bad way if you forgot your warring snacks. When you're plowing through angry men and beasts with abandon, you've just got to have a high-protein calorie boost.

Whofore Art ThouHave you ever wondered who you would be in a Shakespeare play? It's not the type of subject that you can usually take a personality test about. If you're a lovestruck youngin' with a bit of a temper, the obvious choice is Romeo. But Shakespeare wrote about all sorts of other characters.

Queen for a DayThose ancient rulers really knew how to live it up. Why join the 9 to 5 drudgery when you could float down the Nile River on a gilded barge, being fanned by your loyal attendants and eating sugared dates? After all, as ruler of Egypt, you're the living embodiment of the Sun God. You really deserve these special perks. Nowadays, it's harder to get that royal treatment.

The biggest problem with ruling over a country isn’t the constant threat of betrayal and almost certain early death by assassination—often including truly unusual ways of bringing it about. We admit that dealing with murder plots isn’t a great aspect of the job description, but it at least makes for an eternal story for your subjects and enthusiasts hundreds of years later. The real trouble is the weight of those insane crowns! The divine clerics always insist on bulky gold and the thing gets bigger every generation! There must be a more elegant way to rule…Of course, if we look back through history, it isn’t at all hard to land on the one ruler who had style and grace above all: the lovely Cleopatra. You can wield her charm in your rule with her Cleopatra Beaded Snake Headband. This luxurious headpiece is embroidered with bright golden beads that captivate the beauty and exotic nature of the Nile, all while featuring the deadly intrigue of the serpent. You can trust that all will bow to your majesty in this exquisite crown that won’t make you feel like bowing! Just make sure you keep your trust in your own look and watch out for asps of a different color!
The Long Way Round Some kids are born explorers. You can tell when they're mere babies. These are the kids that turn over onto their bellies weeks before they're supposed to. They move on to exhibiting an alarming obsession with climbing the stairs and escaping out of doors. Then, when they're in kindergarten they might have a "why" phase, trying to learn as much as they can about the world as fast as possible. If your child is a natural explorer then you've probably found out about his natural tendencies, it's pretty hard to miss!We're sure that Columbus showed off his curious side early on in life, testing the bounds of Italian village life as soon as he was toddling around. And when he was determined to find a new trade route to India, we bet no one was surprised when the explorer stopped at nothing until he had the ships he needed to see what lands lay beyond the Atlantic horizon!Details & DesignDesigned by our in-house creative team, this lush costume is perfect for school presentations, plays, as well as Halloween. The black tunic is belted at the waist. A faux-fur-trimmed coat is layered over top and has a wide cut that was fashionable in Columbus's time. The look is topped off with a hat that would look right at home at the helm of the Santa Maria. Picture PerfectDo you want your child to look like he's stepping out of the past? Finish off this costume with white knee-high socks, black shoes, and a telescope and he'll be ready to represent the man with the new voyage plan. A comfortably warm look, this is a unique choice for Halloween and an A-plus idea for your intrepid young explorer!
thunderstruckWe don't know a lot about Greek mythology -- but what little we know, we're sure about. There’s just one trait that separates the all-mighty Zeus from any normie graybeard with a gym membership: the ability to smite whomever and whatever he wants when he wants.

The Fame of the NileThe Ancient Egyptians were famous for many things. Many people remember them as being the people that built the pyramids. Others remember them for their burial practices and mummies.

If Vogue existed in the 1770s, Marie Antoinette would probably be the editor. Sure she helped incite a rebellion that completely turned French aristocracy on its head, but you can't deny that the woman could dress! That just goes to show you that it pays to be different from the rest. Our motto is "let 'em all eat cake!" Because you know, who doesn't love cake? Then someone told us that Marie Antoinette said that first and it caused an uproar. If she did indeed say that then she was a pretty smart lady! Again, who doesn't love cake? So get out there and devour as much cake as you please, but do it in our Deluxe Marie Antoinette Wig.
