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!

Walk Like an EgyptianIf you're opting for an Egyptian theme this Halloween, then good on you! There are so many cool costumes that require the right sandals—from Pharaohs to toga parties to famed historical figures. But, and you'll have to trust us here, it is so hard to get enough time off of work to travel to Egypt for all the accessories you need to make your costume look authentic. There are visas and passports involved, health records, and let's not forget what a pain it is to exchange currency. You're probably better off snagging these awesome Men's Egyptian Sandals for your costume! They cost a lot less than a roundtrip ticket to Egypt, and they can arrive at your door in time for Halloween. Talk about a win-win. Now, we just hope you live in a warm enough climate where your toes won't freeze off in the late October air. Brrr!Product DetailsThis pair of sandals gleams with a golden hue that looks like it's been gilded by a true cobbler in the market square. The soles are anti-slip, and the sides of each sandal allow for size adjustment. The style fits seamlessly with your costume, too!
Hair with AttitudeDo you know those times when you wake up with a hopeless bad hair day? You take one glance in the mirror and you know there's nothing you can do. You could break out your hair straightener, ramp up your hair mousse, or call on all the bobby pins in your arsenal but that cowlick in the back of your head is still going to stick up straight. In the end, you just have to ride the bad hair day wave or figure out a way to work a hat into your ensemble. But all your bad hair days put together can't beat the day that Medusa woke to find a goddess had cursed her with reptilian locks. If you think cowlicks are annoying, just imagine if your hair could actually bite back if you took a comb to it. At least your locks would never be boring, right?Design & DetailsThis Made-by-Us green wig is a stylish interpretation of Medusa's legendary look. The long, layered curls make an immediate impact with shades of green and black strands. It turns out, having hair with attitude can be a pretty stunning look!Slither with StyleWe're thinking that Medusa needs rebranding. Ancient legends paint Medusa's post-snake life in a pretty grotesque way. But in the end, we're sure that she could have rocked this look if she so chose. So step out with a fresh Medusa look. This gorgeous wig is sure to tip the scales!
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
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.
A true fashionistaAre you headed to a garden party or a Gone with the Wind themed costume party? Or maybe you just enjoy beautiful gowns. What’s to say you can’t wear a gorgeous hoop skirt while you’re vacuuming or buying groceries? It may be a little difficult to fit down the aisle behind your cart, but that’s a price you’re willing to pay for fashion! And, yes, maybe you can’t exactly fit inside your car when you want to drive to the bank, but it’s a reasonable sacrifice so that you can always look so wonderfully stylish. A true fashionista will strut her stuff anywhere, even if it means other people are forced off the sidewalk or can’t squeeze past to their own table at a restaurant. If you can’t wear your gorgeous ballgown to your doctor’s appointment, what’s the point of going at all? The other folks in the waiting room will just have to understand!Product DetailsThis Lovely Southern Belle Costume will be sure to have your fellow partygoers just swooning with delight! This exclusive costume features dark pink flowers in an all over print on a lighter pink background. The dress is 100 percent polyester calico and chiffon fabrics, with a back zipper for easy wear. It features fashionable puffed sleeves with ruffled chiffon cuffs, eyelet edging at the square neckline, and white lace strips on the skirt. There’s also a triangular chiffon scarf that can be tied as desired. (Note: The gloves and parasol shown in the photo are each sold separately.)Everyday wearWhen you’ve got a dress as breathtaking as this Lovely Southern Belle Costume, we couldn’t expect you to just wear it once a year to some costume party and leave it in your closet the rest of the time! Bust that gorgeous gown out and proudly wear it to your next PTA meeting! You’re not crazy… Everyone else is just jealous!
A good pair of footwear will make or break a costume. Would you take Robin Hood seriously if he were wearing sneakers? No. How about Darth Vader in flip-flops? Definitely not. The footwear should match the outfit. Also consider if your child went to costume parties or the Renaissance Festival. They'll need decent foot wear for traversing the gravel paths, muddy corners, and grassy hills. A decent pair of shoes that look the part are necessary.So when the feet of your child are at stake, look no further than our Child Renaissance Boots. Made of faux suede, they reach about mid-calf and have decorative adjustable straps. Your child's costume will look much more authentic if he/she is wearing something like these Child Renaissance Boots. And they'll probably even feel like a rouge-ish hero too!
GET THOSE GEARS GOINGYou know when you've got a super good idea and it's just working in your head? You can pretty much feel the brain cranking and grinding to bring that genius-level spark into a whole fiery production. Can practically feel the steam pouring from your ears and your eyes lighting up with excitement, yeah? That's the inspiration of Steampunk calling to you. That perfect coupling of old style and new age innovation. It is time!DESIGN & DETAILSThis Steampunk Top Hat is the perfect thing to represent your creative flair. First, it was Made By Us, designed by our own Vintage Department of Futuristic Tech. It's more a low-top hat than a full-on crazy top hat, but at 5.5" tall, it gives you plenty of other styles you can wear it with. Really, you're here for the differently shaped brass gears riveted into the hat, though. All we need next is to get them actually mechanically active! KNOCKED INTO A COCKED HAT?We'll be honest. We had to look up that phrase. It means something has been destroyed and rendered useless. A rather funny way of saying "broken," but what else can you expect of something as classy as Steampunk. Anyway, with the high-quality of this Top Hat, you can be sure it'll stay non-cocked through the steam age!
Coming up RosieWe’ll cut right to the chase. The number of times you’ve cheered on your baby with the phrase “you can do it” classifies the four words as your catchphrase. But that also qualifies it to be your little one’s life motto. That is, at least, until she can choose one for herself. Until then, there’s no time to delay. Your constant encouragement while your infant was attempting to roll over, then crawl, finish full bottles, and learn to like peas rendered results. She's a strong, empowered little baby with nowhere to go but up! Her determination to become mobile and as independent as a baby can be made her an icon in your eyes, and someone others should definitely look up to.

Meanwhile, the red sweatshirt fleece “belt” around the costume adds to the look's notability and is not only attached to the jumpsuit but stitched between the top and bottoms. So, there’s no worry about your baby removing the detail or being irritated by it squeezing her midsection. A polka-dotted fleece headband and appliqued name badge with “Rosie” embroidered in red complete the look.Small but MightyShe may be small, but you can tell she will be mighty! So, dress your adorable future leader in a look as fabulous as she is when you buy this Made By Us Baby Rosie the Riveter Costume. Based on the feminist icon and thoughtfully designed, this Halloween look is one for the scrapbook!
There are a few basic pieces that every man should have in his wardrobe. No matter what the career path he is taking, a crisp white shirt is a versatile purchase that no closet should be without.

Thog LifeWe think we're oh so lucky to live in houses with solid walls with healthcare and electricity and a refrigerator full of food. And for the most part, we are. We don't have to worry about getting taken down by a sabertooth tiger as we sit around the fire or getting crushed by the very animal we hoped to eat that night. But we also think cave life must have been pretty fun. Just imagine what it would be like to walk around in skins and dance around the firelight as fellow Cro-Magnons drum on animal hide drums. We might be biased but we're thinking the glow of a roaring fire would beat a club's blinking, strobing light show any day. Get back to the basics with this gorgeous costume!Product DetailsThis asymmetrical dress is ready for a night of celebrating our caveman heritage. The leopard print dress has one strap that's edged with caramel-colored faux fur. The skirt has a jagged hemline for a primitive look.

Forget the modern age, this fierce look will be just the thing for a wild Halloween!Rock OnWant fabulous caveman accessories? This caveman look can be paired with an inflatable club for taking down those pesky sabertooth tigers. Pair up with a partner or friends easily by exploring the rest of our caveman costumes.

THE RULER OF THE THRONEEveryone is always trying to convince everyone else that they have the true right to the throne. They might yammer on about who their father was or how many titles they hold. (Bonus points for extra adjectives.) Perhaps they are just denouncing the current monarchy and proclaiming (rather dangerously in the public of a tavern) that they would be far better on the throne than those currently crowned upon it! But, you know where the real power in the kingdom happens to lay. You watch as everyone comes to you—low-born, noble, knight, and knave alike! It is neither gold nor steel nor red or blue blood that makes the wheel turn in this world. It's the ale, the wine, and especially the secrets that spill in your tavern! With the right words, you could make anything happen! And with a simple, "No, you've had enough," you can set those mighty men to tears! DESIGN & DETAILSShow the world what a true queen looks like when you dress up in this Medieval Pub Wench costume. You won't feel low-born for a second while you're wearing this high-quality look put together by our own in-house team of designers. It includes a square neck top with ruffled trim and elbow-length loose-fit sleeves as well as the look of a green corset. The brown skirt has an apron sewed to the front and includes a tie if you'd like to show some leg. You also have your own version of a crown: a cream, triangle-cut bandana! THAT OTHER THRONEJust remember: if anyone questions your power in your own tavern-house, you have the ability to whisper the right words to lead them to the throne. And, failing that, you can give them a sour drink and keep them on the other one all night!
DeterminationThe world can learn a lot from Helen Keller. Through a stroke of fate, she found herself both deaf and blind at a young age. That didn't stop her. It didn't stop her from learning how to speak. It didn't stop her from earning a Bachelor of Arts. It didn't stop her from sharing her thoughts with the world in a series of writings. It didn't stop her from contributing to the world and it didn't stop her from trying to live the best life that she could. In the face of adversity, she stood to the challenge and gave it everything she had!That's why Helen Keller remains a hero to this day. She had the guts and the overwhelming curiosity to not let her disability prevent her from pursuing great understanding! We think that's something that the world needs and your child can share her amazing story with this Helen Keller Costume for kids.Design & DetailsInspired by the historical figure who championed rights for the disabled, this costume comes with a dress reminiscent of clothing she wore. The blue dress has lace detailing and various accents to give it a vintage style. The white lace around the cuffs and neck also adds a classic touch to the dress. The costume also includes a simple hair bow to top the look off! If your child wants to share an incredible story of perseverance and inner strength, then this Helen Keller will help transform her into the inspirational figure from history!

ANCIENT HISTORY OF COMFORTWhy do we love the toga? Well, there is a perfectly simple explanation to the question of why togas are some of the best party attire and most beloved of Halloween costumes. Our ancient Roman ancestors had the right idea when they decided to start the tradition of wearing togas to formal events or parties. They are the most comfortable, stylish, and trendiest form of party garb, and they are so easy!When you have an important event to join, you cannot waste a bunch of time trying to piece together the perfect layered look. And, if you're going to need to participate in a particularly rumpus affair—whether it is an important early-spring date with Caesar or a group outing—you can't be bogged down by all of that constricting clothing! If you have to hang out with a whole arena full of senators to debate everything from the bucellarii to the vigintiviri—there really aren't that many cool-sounding ancient Roman A- or Z-words—what's the answer? Toga! Toga! PRODUCT DETAILSThis Toga costume is a sleeveless pullover robe with a V-neckline, so you don’t have to deal with the hassle of tying a real toga. (Trust us; that is a real pain in the podux!) The sash is draped over the shoulder and sewn, keeping your toga perfectly placed all night, with little risk of it accidentally coming unraveled. You don’t want to show off your Lupa themed underwear now do you? This costume is made from a 100% polyester interlock knit fabric, keeping you clean and dry throughout the night’s adventures.COMPLETE THE LOOKOnce you've got your epic attire, it is time to refine the look. Will go to the route of the Deity with golden laurels and winged sandals? Perhaps a mighty sword to become the army's general? Or will it be a hidden knife so you can hear the astonished words, "Et tu, Brute!?"
We can only imagine what the world would be like if steam power had turned out to be the last word in transportation and energy production. Which is good, because we really want to believe it would be just like all those steampunk novels we've read, in which a cunning heroine uses her engineering skills and mechanical-mindedness to create a clever new invention that saves the world from certain doom. Come to think of it, that's a pretty specific vision for the way things might have someday been. But at least it sounds stylish and full of adventure, even in the present day! Of course, real-life technology has been drifting away from smokestacks, paddle wheels, gears, and sprockets for some time, now. So to truly live the dream of an intrepid tinkerer, a girl is going to need a top-of-the-line time machine, and possibly an advanced degree in applied science. Or she could just do what most people do when they're nostalgic for the retro-future: put on a great-looking costume like this one!This kids costume combines a modified Victorian-era dress with some essential steampunk touches, like machined details and a pair of geartooth goggles. Layering the functional look of leather straps atop the frills of high fashion, this outfit makes for a unique look that's well-suited to any kind of brainstorm session or gizmo-seeking excursion. Once she's all suited up, we're sure she'll feel more than ready to put her skills to the test!
10,000 Leagues Under the SeaBeing the god of the sea, you have never had much interest in the affairs of mortals. There is so much ocean to rule that you are never short on things to do or places to go! From sirens, merfolk, sharks, and krakens, you have your hands full with the creatures of the sea. Not to mention Cyclopes!But still, there are some things that you think the land dwellers do right. For example, making the perfectly crispy and delicious French fry is nigh impossible when you are so deep in the ocean. Using ocean vents and sea cucumbers just doesn’t create that golden color and crisp texture that you love. Ah well, you can’t win them all!Kinda FishyWhether you are planning on causing a roiling typhoon or a whirlpool of unimaginable horrors, this Poseidon Costume Kit is the perfect way to show everyone that you mean business. Surfing around with your trident and picking up ships like toys is cool and all, but without your bracers and crown you are just some anonymous god.Luckily, this golden, finned pair of bracers and nine starred-crown are perfect for you! You will feel like royalty when you ride a shark into the party wearing these!
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! They need an outlaw! They need...your courageous young girl! Yes, that's right. We think your girl has the right stuff to play the role of Robin Hood, the hero of all the classic tales. 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. The costume comes with a dress-style re-imagining of his garb, including deep forest green themes to help your girl blend into the forest, which also helps her when she's planning an ambush for the Sheriff! 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.
Cleopatra is revered for her beauty to this day. But did you know she was a master of pageantry too? Case in point, in 41 BC Cleopatra had an appointment to meet the triumvir Mark Antony. Now, we’ve all had meetings. If we really feel like putting on airs we might put on a little makeup, do something classy with our hair, even paint our nails. But Cleopatra had a golden barge with purple sails and silver oars made just for the occasion, and she rode up to the Roman beneath a gilded canopy while her servants fanned her and burned sweet incense around her. Needless to say, Antony was rather impressed. Think about that next time you need to make a great first impression.This shoulder length bob with bangs is another fine way to make a great impression. If you’re shooting for the Cleopatra look, it’s impossible to overdo it -- the pharaoh wasn’t known for her subtlety. This wig also works for Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction!
Braving the Winter of the NorthWe're from Minnesota. You know, that cold place filled with snow and lakes. Well, we know what it takes to survive the harsh winters. You must have a steely resolve to endure the below zero temperatures. You must have unshakable courage to brave the flurries of snow. You must have a fierce and unstoppable heart to win the battle against nature! Yes, you must be like a medieval warrior who fears nothing to make it through winter.... or at least, that's what we keep telling ourselves to feel better about living in the wintery north! If your child has a true heart of the warrior and she's ready to fight for the good people of the north, then we have the perfect outfit for her! This Girl's Winter Warrior Costume is a Renaissance-inspired costume that will help your child become a brave fighter, capable of conquering any enemy!Design & DetailsThis girl's costume is an exclusive, Made By Us design that was crafted by our expert costume designers. They wanted to create a look that captures the intense look of those who grow up in the cold north! The costume starts with a brown, faux leather jacket, with lace along the sleeves and shoulder to give it an authentic, Medieval style. The skirt is made out of a faux fur and cloth, to give it a patchwork look. The black, faux leather belt is fully adjustable and cinches around the waist. Finally, the cape completes the look and has the same patchwork style as the skirt. Put it all together and your girl gets a look that's ready to defend the north from any enemy!To Battle... or the Renaissance Fair!If your girl is fierce enough to stand with the north, then she's ready for this outfit. Just make sure you equip her with a toy sword before you send her off to the Renaissance festival in this costume.
Simple Yet EffectiveOftentimes, the simplest tools of war prove to be the most effective. This is a lesson that Rollo of Normandy has learned well! A tool that's good for chopping wood can be just as useful on the battlefield! You can usually see him charging into battle, wielding an axe against the fiercest of foes.If you plan on cosplaying as Rollo, or as any of your other favorite characters from the Vikings series, then you're going to need his signature weapon! This Vikings Rollo Sigurdsson Toy Axe costume accessory. It's inspired by the one seen in the hands of the legendary Viking warrior.Design & DetailsThis toy axe is officially licensed from the Vikings series. It's a Made By Us design made out of molded plastic with a realistic paint job. The axe head has a weathered metallic color, while the handle is designed to look like wood. It even has molded wrapping around the bottom to help provide a better grip. Add it to your Vikings cosplay to transform into your favorite warrior!
Hey there, warrior! Have you been trying to get yourself inside the Colosseum for a spot of combat? Well, then you'd better not charge into there without a weapon! After all, they're going to throw every kind of mean-faced gladiator and ferocious lions at you, so you'd better come prepared with a solid game plan of kicking butt with a super awesome historical weapon. That's where this Roman Gladius Sword comes in!This toy weapon looks just like the one wielded by various fighters from Ancient Rome. Of course, it's made out of plastic, since we really can't just sell you dangerous weaponry (it's a liability thing). This toy sword does, however, come with a highly realistic look that should be enough to scare any gladiator or lion in the ring. Of course, you could always use it for LARPing too, since we're huge supporters of any activity that involves pretend fighting against giant cyclops monsters. Whatever you decide to use it for, you'll be sure to look like the toughest warrior around!
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. Or, more accurately, a street: 221-B Baker Street, to be exact. Home to the most famous detective in all the world, both real and in literature, this address has been home to countless questions and some of the most important discoveries, leading to the solving of some truly ingenious of old crimes.It is time for that tenacious tyke to put the question to some people who really deserve it. And, how better to do it than being clad in this Child Sherlock Holmes costume. Made of conventional polyester, this coat and hat combo will give your kiddo 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 Moriarty will be behind bars by November… but will it be in jail or the asylum!?

We like to call that feeling a "gladiator moment" and it can happen at any time. Maybe you get it after you finish a project ahead of schedule.

Every dream requires a dreamer. Maybe that's why this detailed Steampunk Cane features a molded plastic head that looks an awful lot like a metallic skull, churning through fantastic ideas with the help of all those gears! Because even though we tend to think of a steam-powered retrofuture as a pretty great place to visit, nowhere is perfect. Buried under the gleaming machinery of all those clever contraptions, we're sure that there's at least a hint of the darkly-obsessive or macabre.That's just the way that stories go: if the hero is a gifted but naive up-and-coming engineer, there's got to be a villain to balance the scales. So whether you're an earnest tinkerer who's lost himself in a mechanical labyrinth of his own brilliant inventions, or you're the diabolical mastermind who's built a dark secret into the turbine-driven heart of a floating city, this cane is a solid choice when you need somebody to lean on!
Balcony FashionsWhen you're making your entrance on your rosy, moonlit balcony, you've got to make sure you look like the romantic icon you are. That might mean billowy sleeves, layers of long skirts, and an extra layer of blush on your cheeks. But if you really want to look the part, you've got to have the right hat! The classic Juliet hat has become such a standard that the style has been copied for wedding veils all over the world. Pinning back the hair in a wonderfully understated way, it calls out for a romantic proposal by moonlight. Get all the romance without the star-crossed angst as soon as you pin this cap in its place.Product DetailsThis lovely cap is a staple for any historic costume wardrobe. Perfect for Shakespeare plays and Renaissance Fairs alike, the high-quality accessory can be used again and again. It's made up of netting in the middle and trimmed with dark red velvet and has faux pearls anchoring the sides. While it makes a great piece for medieval and Elizabethan costumes, Juliet caps were also popular in the early 1900s and can be paired with smart suits from the 1920s to the 1940s!
Good old Romulus, founder of Rome, very well could have been the first person to popularize the toga. Back then it was common for both men and women to wear them, and they were quite simple and served basic utility purposes. But as the years passed, the toga became a symbol of male citizenship for the Romans, and became a much more formal type of clothing. They also got much more expensive and complicated from its humble beginnings.These days it's hard to think about the toga apart from college frat boys and parties. But, believe it or not, these draped clothes were quite formal and demonstrated success and distinction for many Romans. If your child needs to get a toga of his own, perhaps for a historical demonstration or a play at school, or if he's just looking for something fun to dress up as for Halloween, check out our Boys Toga.This toga is 100% polyester, with the sash sewn to the shoulder with a gold ring accent. The belt is a gold rope, and the toga is easy to put on with a comfortable fit and easy to put on and off style. Don't forget to add accessories to complete this costume, like a pair of sandals (the ones in the picture aren't included with the costume) or an ancient scroll for your child to read from!
There can't be too many things in life that are better than being a pilot! You get paid to fly, you travel for free, and you get to skip all the waiting around in an airport! The only thing we could think that would be better is if you were a pilot in a crazier version of reality! Not like a futuristic version that has you flying through space (Although, that would be amazing!). No, think of an alternate reality where you could be a steampunk pilot! With this Antique Gear Wing Pin, you could be manning the cockpit of some insanely geared-out and steam-powered flying machine. Through the infamous London Fogs you would go and burst out of the dark smog into the clear blue skies, quite the wonder it would be. Now, before you would be allowed to fly any crazy contraptions off into the horizon, you will need the proper qualifications. We're sorry to inform you that we can't help out with that... but we can certainly make you appear to have the correct certifications! No one will second guess your flying skills when they see this winged steampunk pin on the lapel of your 19th century pilot outfit. Check out the rest of our Steampunk accessories and really make everyone wonder if they've been transported to an alternate reality this Halloween.
She of the Ointment JarBastet was known as an intensely fierce cat goddess that was in charge of defending the pharaoh. While her name translates to, "she of the ointment jar", she doesn't actually have anything to do with cold cream. This fierce lion goddess has been around for about four-thousand years. Bastet's symbols decorated both the pharaoh's chambers as well as the jewelry of mothers and women who wanted to be mother's. The idea was, like a house cat, she would be tender to her young and fierce to anyone who might threaten those under her care. She sounds like a goddess we wouldn't mind having around!Details & DesignMake sure Bastet has your back when you dress up in an Egyptian costume this Halloween. This plush black and gold cat is Made by Us meaning it has little details added by our in-house designers like the dignified striped ears and intelligent face. The body has a zipper on the back so you can carry your belongings without interrupting the ancient theme of your look. The pretty paws are circled with the fourteen-inch tail and the long chain slings over your shoulder for a comfortable look that you can carry around all nightAdaptable ArtifactsMake sure your belongings stay close at hand when you put them in the hands of the fierce goddess, Bastet. After all, when you're proudly walking into the room as Nefertiti or Cleopatra, you need a goddess to back up your authority. So throw the gold chain over your shoulder to let everyone know you're not "kitten" around!

If you're planning a toga party, historical accuracy may not be on your priority list. So you maybe don't care that historical purists would insist that there was never any such thing as a Greek toga or a women's toga or a child's toga. And this Women's Grecian Dress ISN'T a toga. If you ARE interested in historical accuracy, this costume is actually a fairly accurate representation of what a Greek woman would have worn. The only difference is that an ancient version would have been ankle-length instead of above-the-knee. But the shape, the draping and the geometric trim are realistic. For a toga, party, however, perhaps you only care that it's cute--which it is!

Long before there were awesome things to watch on modern TV, like pro wrestling, epic summer movies, and binge-able television shows, people had to get creative to stay entertained. Otherwise, they might have died of boredom, which considering how much easier it was to kick the bucket in ancient times, was probably a legit possibility. However, a citizen in Ancient Rome could always take a trip to the local arena to see a gladiator fight, which would liven up a dull afternoon in no time! Though back in those days, if your attention couldn't even be held by watching two dudes in flashy armor get into a bloody brawl, you could test your prowess by stepping into the arena, yourself.

With this fierce, ancient style aiding your quest for glory, you'll be the undisputed champion of the costume contest colosseum!

The Maids of BraidsThe Medieval era embraced lush textures and hairstyles. Both men and women of high standing wore layer after layer of wool, silk, and velvet that were all trimmed with furs. Ladies' fashion played around with all sorts of silhouettes. Fitted sleeves would be layered under long, trailing sleeves. They'd either wear dropped waist dresses that wear fitted with a tight corset or they would bustle their bodices with a gorgeously designed empire belt. Basically, all sorts of colors, shapes, and textures were good to go. One thing that didn't fly? Loose locks.

Plenty of powerful women have made their mark on history. Zenobia conquered Europe and even had the guts to stand up to the Roman Empire. Empress Wu Zetian expanded education and increased economic prosperity in China during her tenure. Amy Schumer proved that women are way better at gross-out humor than guys! Of course, few women hold the kind of reverence as the fiercely intelligent and classically beautiful Cleopatra.From an early age, all the way to her death, she truly broke the mold of what society thought a woman should be. She used her sharp wits to wrestle control of Egypt away from her brother. She snuck herself into the presence of Julius Caesar, cleverly hiding herself within a rug being delivered to him. She commanded her naval forces with deft precision during the Battle of Actium. She did all this with elegance and style. Even Shakespeare, a man born centuries after her untimely death, was enamored with her story. Now, you can step into her alluring shoes with this Cleopatra costume for women.Now, we can’t guarantee that any fancy English playwrights will craft a tale of your exploits while wearing this exclusive plus size Cleopatra costume, but it will make you feel like a regal figure ready to rule over her subjects!

Go Go GorgonThe Gorgons are myths of iconic proportions, though most only know of them via their matriarch, Medusa. But Medusa is merely one sister of three! She’s the youngest of the three serpent-haired and cursed aquatic sisters who could turn mortals to stone with just a gaze. While the others, Stheno and Euryale might have been immortal, it was only Medusa who etched a place in all our memories. It’s not a happy tale, Medusa’s. Unfortunately for her, cursed by Athena for no good reason, Medusa became a horrible snake-headed monster that everyone feared until another demigod showed up with a bevy of blessed divine artifacts and beheaded her!Design & DetailsThere’s a lot of power in rewriting myth. You can do just that in our exclusive Women’s Plus Size Deluxe Medusa Costume!

You'll want to practice this with care to make sure it doesn't happen by accident because there aren't many ways to fix the cursed power of this exclusive Plus Size Medusa Costume.
Antioch to the AcropolisAs time-traveling goes, zapping yourself into the ancient world of Greece or Rome would be the most enticing. Unlike most communities that existed before the 1900s, they had running water and respected the power of bathing. They had pretty advanced medical care, buildings constructed to help its residents stay cool on intense summer days, and paved roads. As long as you didn't end up in a colosseum, life would be pretty comfortable for a whole range of classes back in Rome and Greece B.C.! However, if you did happen to land your time machine smack in the middle of a colosseum fight, this is the costume that you'd want to wear when you stepped out of the machine and into the ring. With a dignified draping cape and flattering leather accents, you'll be a favorite with the crowd in no time. You might even have to go on an international ancient world tour. That sounds like fun! You'd get to see all those famous ruins when they were newly built. Just goes to show that if you're going to go back, you'd better dress to impress!Costume DetailsThis stunning ancient ensemble is Made By Us which means it was created by our in-house designers. The costume features a jersey knit cape accented with a brass coin. A kilt trimmed in a geometric gold pattern is secured with a hook and loop fastener at the back. Faux leather gauntlets slip over your forearms for a tough, battle-ready look. B.C. BraveryAre you ready to bring a touch of the B.C. era to your next costumed event? This high-quality look is a great choice. Complete your look with gladiator props from our collection.

A Mummy MonarchAncient Egypt had plenty of gods to look up to. There was Renpet, the goddess of time. Priests revered Heka, a god of magic and medicine. Then, of course, there were upwards of a dozen death deities. Death was super complicated in Ancient Egypt. There were multiple gods and goddesses that were there simply to escort the dead to the lord of the underworld. Then there were the deities that were in charge of the different aspects of mummification. Anubis was the head honcho of this department. He was in charge of weighing a souls heart, which was the main deciding factor that let souls pass enter the realm of the dead. We wouldn't let our dogs near so many raw hearts but maybe god dogs have more self-restraint than your everyday Fido. Product Details & DesignThis Anubis costume is Made-By-Us, meaning our company designers researched this god's look to put together a unique take on Anubis's aesthetic. The tight black shirt is has attached golden cuffs,a layered belt, and making anyone wearing this costume look like they could have been painted on an ancient tomb. With uniquely shaped pants and lightweight gauze draped throughout the costume, you'll feel comfortable moving throughout a costumed event. The ensemble is topped off with a mask and showstopping jackal headpiece with striking gold and black accents. Curse of the CanineWhen it comes to raiding tombs, there's no way we'd want to cross Anubis! This hound will not hesitate to protect the mummies in its care just like a Doberman Pincher might protect its master. Although instead of a bite, this dog will serve up a curse. No wonder ancient Egyptian priests showed this god so much respect. This Halloween, become the loyal guardian of the dead with this showstopping Anubis costume!
Raising a PharaohIt must be hard to raise a king. King Tut became the ruler of Egypt at the tender age of 9. Do you think his advisors had to scold him to eat his vegetables?

Well, it’s a good thing that you’re raising an ordinary kid, but maybe it’s about time you gave him a chance to rule the roost!Yes, you could turn your child into a king!

Floral FlairSome might say that the ruler of an ancient land needs to put forward a face of stern strength. There may be any number of expectations for a young queen, especially from neighboring monarchs. But that's the thing about every moment after a royal coronation.

If you've always wanted to own a boat, go sailing along the shores of the world seeking adventure, and if you've always wanted to have a beard long enough to braid, and drink spirits from a cattle horn, and if you've always wanted to shout everything you say, then we think you've got the spirit of the viking within you.

Et Tu, Brute? Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears. We come not to bury Caesar but to celebrate his fantastic sense of style. Imagine all the things that Julius Caesar accomplished in his lifetime. He led a the mightiest of armies. He named himself dictator of the Roman Empire. He conquered Gaul - not that Gaul's natives appreciated this acheivement. "We were FINE, Caesar!" they said. "Go open your national smoothie chain somewhere else!" Or something like that. None of these successes can compare to the fact that he made a breastplate, a man-skirt, and knee-high, lace-up sandals look good. People are still wearing his footwear thousands of years later. That's a real victory! Product Details Your subjects will be in awe of your lordly threads when you wear your Julius Caesar men's costume! The sleeveless polyester jersey is pullover-style, because ain't nobody got time to work buttons when they're leading a military charge or running from 60 murderous Roman senators.

Matching armbands keep you protected while you battle and the accompanying gold laurel is perfect for encircling your noble brow. If you really want to be daring, nix the shirt! Nothing says confidence like a Roman dictator. Ruler, Conqueror, Fashion TrendsetterYou're all that and more! Embrace the daring and devil-may-care duds of one of history's greatest warriors as you claim your destiny (we hope it includes plenty of glory and very few pointy knives). Strut into the Senate with your head held high. Unless it's the Ides of March - then staying home and watching TV is the name of the game!
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!

Portia in The Merchant of Venice dresses up like a man, pretends to be a lawyer, and saves the life of her love during a dramatic court case. Miranda in The Tempest was banished to a desert island and had to deal with a literal monster and a sketchy wizard. (We'll let you guess which one ended up being her dad!)
