A GODDESS OF MYSTERYAncient Egypt offers us a ton of strange history that might never be fully unpacked. With so many people, so wide-spread throughout the territory, it is understandable that they couldn't always quite agree on everything. So, when you've got a feline deity that seems capable of so much at once, it makes sense that they couldn't quite decide what she was the goddess of or even what to call her! Bast, Bastet, Ubaste... or even adored by the Greek as Ailuros!? From there, folks have to wonder if she's the lioness goddess of the hunt, a protector deity watching over the household, a goddess of the sun or moon, or the lady who keeps away disease with her mighty perfumes while helping Anubis watch over the land of the dead. That's a pretty big portfolio for deific deeds! It's no wonder that cats were such holy creatures when you've got a mighty feline goddess who has so many responsibilities.DESIGN & DETAILSAfter learning everything there is to know about the ever-beloved and changing Egyptian deity, our in-house designers were finally freed to show off the glory with this exclusive Bastet Goddess Costume. This luxurious look includes a black, open-shouldered bodysuit with gleaming golden sleeve cuffs and a sleeveless top with a matching gold foam collar and bustled fabric down the bust. Printed hieroglyphic symbols decorate the golden front of the skirt and the black and gold cat-ear headpiece stays set in place with elastic. No godly look is complete without a sheer mesh cape that falls to your knees from the golden collar. Stand in rulership of your domain as the most beloved feline deity of all times. THE BLESSING OF THE KITTIESIt should be no wonder why Bastet remains an adored goddess in an age where cats have taken over the Internet. Keep the divine light shining down while all bend knee to your glorious rule when you slip into this Bastet Costume and rise as a fierce lioness warrior!

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! The costume comes with an elegant gold dress, complete with shimmering details fit for a pharaoh. It also has beige accents and colorful designs along the bust. It even comes with a beige cape. Once you have it on, you’ll feel ready for a cruise along the Nile (or the closest body of water to your costume party).
ROMANS, COUNTRYMEN, HERE IS OUR GEARThere is a reason that the classic look of the Roman toga will never go away. It isn't just that it is crazy fun to dress up in one for your collegiate party. It isn't that the ability to go somewhere without technically wearing pants is perhaps the most freeing experience anyone can ever have. It isn't even the fact that literal gods wore the threads while they were ruling on high in Mount Olympus. It's not even the awe of stepping into ancient history. So, what is it!? Well... actually, that's where we need your help. Hear us out. The gladiatorial style and Roman wear remains one of the most popular and impressive looks out there and we can't put our gladius down on why.

Complete your profound look with the 2-inch gold-tinted leaf laurel headband and feel like an emperor among men! We hope you won't require a weapon, but we have plenty available in case you feel the Ides of March coming soon.THE WHOLE PACKAGEPerhaps the reason the toga remains such a profound look is that it lets you be just a bit of everything.

War, HuhBeing the God of War, you don’t necessarily care about who is fighting, who is winning, or what caused the conflict in the first place. You are the ultimate measure of what it means to be in the middle of the battle and strife, so any conflict is good enough for you!That said, it sometimes is nice to chill out and relax on Olympus.

Just make sure you practice your best smile so that the painters can capture it on an urn or two!
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. It is up to your Cleopatra to decide how they want to present themselves! Will it be with an intimidating stare that will have all others shaking in their sandals? Or will they show a grace that will live in memories for an age?Either way, we can't recommend enough that your little Cleo finds a look that will allow them to stand out. Black and gold are a beloved combo for any Ancient Egyptian style but have you both considered the perfection of pastel!? Design & Details Crown your kiddo with a look that will last the ages with this exclusive Rose Lavender Cleopatra costume. This is a Made By Us design that combines a gorgeous ombre effect and a shimmering mesh overlay with a sleeveless, full-length costume dress. Hook and loops in the back make for an easy way to fasten the garment and a pair of golden wrist cuffs, a matching belt, and a faux leather collar accessorize the outfit. Top everything off with the cobra headpiece and your Cleopatra is ready to rule.
In the windstorm, your stunning, brand new airship is coming apart at its tasteful, decorative 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 oh no, where are your welding goggles? Oh, that's right, your last pair broke in the last storm. As an inventor or aviator in the steampunk world, you need to have a decent pair of goggles. You live a dangerous life full of explosions, high-speed, winds, and lots of smoke everywhere. You'll be tinkering with things all the time, and that just gets messy, you know what we mean. As a result you've always got to have a pair of goggles handy for your own safety. That and because you know you look pretty awesome in them.Well, we have these Gold Winged Goggles to replace your old pair. These antique-gold-tone plastic goggles feature green-tinted lenses, a length-adjustable elastic band around the back of the head, and faux leather wings attached to the sides. They might not protect your eyes from the brightness of the blow torch, the dust in the wind, and any loose flying metals, but they certainly look the part! And they will let you get on with fixing your ship and adventuring all over. When you are all done, just put them on a top hat so they don't get lost, or broken again.
Ancient HeroesWhen we think of heroes, a number of names come rushing to the mind, but only a few of them have been spoken of in as many incarnations as the mighty half-god of Greek mythology, Hercules! Whether he’s an animated youngster eager to prove himself to his fuzzy mentor or a long-haired and suave friend-to-all on a legendary adventure, the guy has it all! Strength, a winning smile, notorious combat proficiencies, and… did we mention half-god? Hard to compete with that one!Sure, several of the ancient tales of Hercules don’t have the best of beginnings… or endings, honestly, but you have to give credit to a guy who can keep his chin up despite having a rather grumpy step-mother and uncle full of underworld angst. Between tackling ferocious monsters birthed from Echidna and winning the heart of a few Grecian lasses, Hercules has countless tales to be told.Product DetailsThis year, the stories can continue when you don your kiddo in this Child Hercules Costume. A comfortable white pullover tunic starts the look and you can armor your child up, next, with the foam body armor and attached cape. You won’t have to spend all day gearing your kid up, either, thanks to an easy fabric tie in the back of the armor. (Now, why didn’t the ancient Greeks think of that!?) Warrior-like armbands and leg guards close with Hook and Loop fastener and ensure that your child will be protected from all manner of monsters, but it might be a good idea to pick up a nice sword and lion-emblazoned shield just to make the beasties think twice about trying your demigod! The only question that remains is to figure out which of the kiddo’s parents is the god!
Picking Your BattlesWhen you're fighting for one of the most powerful monarchies in the world, you might not think anyone has a chance. After all, the Brits had the ships, the men, and the highly caffeinated tea. Who can stand up to that? The thing is, any nation can stretch themselves too thin. The British Empire was one of many nations to realize that one government can't rule the whole world. If you want to do the Redcoats a favor at your next costumed event, do your battalion a favor and pick your battles wisely. Don't get mad at that guy who cuts in front of you in traffic, no matter how tough you look in your smart red jacket. But you could totally put your two cents in when two blunderbusses are arguing over musket brands, that's a battle that a soldier like you can win!Design & DetailsOur in-house designers created a quote the dashing, historically inspired look with this British Redcoat Costume. The long coat's front is framed with a black collar with gold buttons and braid on the sides. The collar matches the cuffs for an official style. The look is pulled together with the attached tan vest that buttons up at the center-front, and with a white cravat that fastens around the neck. Layer the chest belt over the jacket/vest combo and wear it with your own pair of white, tan, or gray pants for the full ensemble. Then, just pull boot tops over a pair of black shoes and you'll be ready to represent the British Empire!Trending TroopsRedcoats might not get a lot of play in today's media but we think this look is ready for a comeback. There's no need for them to support colonialism, they can simply represent everything we love about Britain. Like the British baking shows for instance, is there anything more admirable than a polite reality television show? We don't think so. Invest in a powdered wig and a prop scabbard, British invasion is back by popular demand!
Mother of RomeWhen Venus gave birth to Aeneus’ ancestor, she never thought her actions would have so much impact on the world at large! From that one line came many descendants, including all those who founded the city of Rome on its seven hills.As if that weren’t enough, Aeneus’ travels led him through wonderful Carthage, where he met, loved, and then spurned the queen, Dido, whose subsequent suicide at his departure created an everlasting enmity between those two peoples. That was no doubt not what the goddess of love had intended!Product DetailsIf you are looking for a costume that will make you look like the goddess you are, then you are in the right place. This Women's Plus Size Venus Costume has it all, including the dress with its attached drapery, the arm cuffs, and the golden tiara. You will bear these golden laurel leaves proudly as you show the world that you are more than mortal. When you walk around in this flowing dress, you will feel the confidence of the goddess Venus herself as the cloth gently drifts behind you. The pure white and bright gold details of this costume will add a lot of glitz and glam to your look, so you definitely won’t seem out of place on Olympus!Divine BeautyBecoming more of what you already are inside is what dressing up is all about, so this Women's Plus Size Venus Costume will be perfect for you. Just make sure you keep your feet on the ground despite your angelic looking attire!

That means that the pint-sized pharaoh's every babble is absolute law. Fetch him his rattle! Feed him the choicest puffed cereal treats! Entertain him with endless games of peek-a-boo! Nothing is too good for his royal majesty. Product DetailsThis exclusive Infant Lil Pharaoh Costume is worthy of your little one's adorable self! The short-sleeved tunic zips up the back for easy dressing. Its black top is trimmed with golden rickrack on the sleeve openings and features an attached gold, black, and blue collar. The sewn-in gold and black belt has a golden front drape with printed black hieroglyphics. Ruched blue faux suede decorates the hips, and the tunic's asymmetric hemline is edged in more rickrack trim. The cobra-decorated striped headdress fits snugly around your baby's head. The foam backed wrist bands slide easily over the hands.The Sun God Needs a NapBeing a country's exalted leader is tiring business! You have to sit through plenty of state events so that the masses can get a glimpse of your adorable self. In addition, you're still doing the all-important business of cutting teeth, discovering that your feet are attached to your body, and determining which of your fingers is most delicious. It's no wonder that Pharaoh sometimes gets really cranky and passes out on his official handlers. Fortunately, Pharaoh snuggles are some of the best in the world. Lucky the vassal who gets to minister to him!
Country MaidenEveryone always wants to dress up as a Renaissance princess. But here's the thing. When it comes to beauty and elegance, dressing up as someone from the royal court in the 1600s isn't where it's at. Towns and courts in the Renaissance era were so very dirty. In fact, if noblewomen wanted to go anywhere they wore shoes called "chopines". These were extremely tall platform shoes that helped keep hemlines free from all the animal muck and sewer mud in the streets. Unlike modern high heels, these shoes required women to be accompanied by friends on each side just to keep a lady upright. No, when it comes to dressing up in the Renaissance era, you want to be a fresh country lass. No lead-based makeup, platform heels, or suffocating layers of skirts to hold you back from all that 1600s style fun!Design & DetailsThis Celtic Renaissance dress was designed by our in-house creative team. The dress has a gorgeous off-the-shoulder chemise in clean white. The forest green overdress fastens up the front with adjustable laces for a corset look that's quite comfortable. The uniquely cut dress is trimmed with silver and green Celtic trim at the waist for a look that hints at the romance of the highlands!Meeting At the FaireAre you headed to the Ren Faire this year? Dreaming of dancing around a maypole and biting into a whole turkey leg with abandon? If you want to live out your historical fantasies, make sure you're not encumbered by pounds of velvet skirt and stiff corset boning. This Renaissance costume will make sure you feel comfortable while also looking stunning in front of castle backdrops. Whether you're heading to the Renaissance Faire or Scottish festival, taking part in a play, or dressing up for Halloween, we're sure that you'll love slipping into this Made by Us historical costume!
Einstein had a ton of great qualities. Sure, we all admire his groundbreaking work on physics and his revolutionary theory of relativity and he was actually quite a skilled musician. Did you know that he played the violin since the age of 5? That’s all great, but we want to praise him for something that a bit… a bit out of the ordinary. Can we take a minute to admire his wild hair style and that awesome mustache? That whacky look is the kind of thing that makes science look like a whole bunch of fun!Albert Einstein does look a little bit like he rubber his hair on a helium balloon and that’s exactly the kind of reason your little genius will want to dress up like the iconic mathematician. This costume comes with everything you need to turn your child into just that sort of whacky scientist!This exclusive toddler Einstein costume brings you a look straight from the history books. The jacket and pants combo are both made to look like something right out of the German scientist’s closet. A blue tie is also included to make sure your kid gets Albert’s signature style just right! Of course, no Einstein costume would be complete without that hair and the mustache, right? That’s why this toddler outfit also comes with a frizzy white wig and a puffy white mustache to help your child get every detail perfect. Your child may not quite be old enough to understand what the theory of special relativity yet, but he’ll still be ready to recite his thoughts on why cookies are really delicious when he wears this adorable costume.
Do you hear that horn? It's the sound of the Gjallarhorn, and the its piercing sound echoing through the fjords can only mean one thing... that it's time for battle! Your best bet is to round up the livestock, bring the kids in, and grab your trusty battleaxe to answer the call of Hemidallr. And of course, grab something to cover your skull too! We know that when the swords and axes start flying around, they're nothing that can ruin your day like blunt force trauma to the skull. Wait, you do have a Viking helmet, right?If you forgot to add a warrior helmet to your Viking costume ensemble, have no fear, because HalloweenCostumes.com is here to save the day! This detailed mask is made and designed by us, and has a serious look that will make any cosplayer feel like a feared Viking warrior. Thick latex gives the appearance of a iron forged metal helmet, and inverted horns will provide the barbarian style that made the north men famous. Complete your authentic costume with this helmet mask, and you'll be ready for battle. (But you might want to hurry down to the boat. We don't hear that horn blaring any more!)
The World at Your FingertipsPharaoh might be the best career in the world—just think about it. Wouldn’t it be great if everyone in your life would adhere to your every beck and call? People would have to bow down to your mighty rule, no matter how crazy your demands were! You could order your subjects to do your laundry, wash your dishes or have them dance around in a giant tub of gelatin dessert, all as you laugh with tyrannical glee! Or, you would take the path of benevolence and use your power to give all of your followers free donuts—when you’re the Pharaoh, you get to do whatever you want.Of course, you’re probably not lucky enough to be a real Pharaoh. You kind of need to be born into that position… and you would have had to been alive over 2,000 years ago. Don’t worry though! Through the power of costume, you can still role play as a mighty Egyptian king with this All Powerful Pharaoh costume.Design & DetailsThis plus size costume brings you the regal look of ancient pharaohs with simple pieces that are quite comfortable to wear. The main garment is black and comes with many accessories to help emphasize your kingly style.

Once you’re all garbed up in this high-quality costume, you’ll be ready to take command of your kingdom!You might not wield the full power of the ancient Pharaohs, so you might not be able to convince your friends to erect an obelisk or a pyramid in your honor, but at least you’ll look the part in this outfit.
Whatever you like most about the steampunk genre, you can always be sure you'll look unique! We may not always know what those spring-loaded gadgets and gear-covered gizmos that show up in steampunk stories are supposed to do, but that old fashioned sense of style gets our imaginations running wild. Gear up in this chic Victorian Steampunk Costume, and you'll look ready for your own steampunk adventure!Whenever we think of steampunk, we always picture a world full of massive zeppelins, glittering brass covered skyscrapers, and dashingly dressed heroes fighting off evil doers in thrilling, white knuckle air battles. There's also a quieter side of this hi-tech alternate historical setting, which is full of elegant and ornate outfits (and complex but familiar devices) which combine classic fashion and design with the steely power and might of industry. Victorian style is classy and sophisticated enough on its own, but when your mix it with the flash and functionality of steampunk, you've got yourself a sexy retro look that will really make you stand out!This glamorous ensemble is part vintage, part industrial fashion, and all steampunk! The corset style top features strap-like details, rather than the laces you'd expect to find on a traditional corset, and an attached velvet collar with matching puffy shouldered sleeves. The matching leggings and skirt add a sassy mixture of old world and modern feminine fashions, while also letting you show off whichever boots you add to this look. Whatever you like most about this costume, you'll look good no matter where your adventure takes you!

Does not come with Big StickTeddy Roosevelt is the least presidential o all the presidents. In our opinion, that's one of his best qualities. He wasn't stuck up, in fact, he was always getting into all sorts of scrapes even after he was voted into office. He went blind in one eye after a boxing incident in the White House. Did he stop fighting in the White House after that happened? Not really, he just switched to jiu-jitsu. Teddy didn't hesitate to become the first president to travel the continental US, braving the treacherous wilderness of the wild west despite the worries of the politicians back in Washington. Actually, he took it further, while he was on the west coast on a speaking tour he snuck off with John Muir to go camping and explore the natural wonders of the Rockies and Yellowstone. This rebellious backpacking trip inspired him to make these national wonders into national parks. Also, we're pretty sure that's where he got that big stick that he mentioned in that famous quote of his. Product Details & DesignWhen we designed this Made-By-Us costume we wanted to represent the other side of US presidential history. This costume is both dignified as well as exploration ready. The suit has a khaki color and an early nineteen-hundreds cut. The brass buttons, jaunty brimmed hat, and collar embroidery add to the presidential flair while the holsters on the belt make you look rough and ready.Speaking Softly OptionalWhether you're choosing a look for Presidents Day or you want a historic look for Halloween, you'll love this dashing costume. You might find yourself longing to explore the wilderness and take on both politicians and moose with your bare hands but that's just a part of transforming into one of the wildest presidents of the US. Do like Teddy would do and take it in stride!
Have you started to notice people calling you a “polymath” from time to time? Do not fear; they’re not making fun of you, nor do they think you adore calculus! They are actually likening you to a Renaissance man. Cool, huh?What a compliment! You don’t even have the full look yet and already folks can feel your brilliant mind churning. Well, we think there is just something about a nice coat that brings out the best in a fella, so this Men's Renaissance Coat may just be the thing to add a spark of cultural allure to your public persona. Whether you wear this faux-suede, belted tunic coat to a Halloween party, to camp and explore the wilderness, to the library, to the planetarium, or even to a 5-star restaurant, everyone will instantly know that you’re a well-read thinker with big ideas! And let’s face it: if the Renaissance was good enough for Michelangelo, Da Vinci, and Galileo, it’s probably A-OK for you, too. So enjoy your rebirth as the as the #1 guy to keep an eye on!
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!

Your grandfather was the fiercest Viking the world had ever seen. He sailed from the Iceland, and helped conquer the Germanic people. Then he sailed to Scotland, he defeated the Picts. Boy did they put up a fight. Then he came home, told stories of his time sailing on the open sea. Not knowing if they would make it to land again. It was truly the time of his life.Now you are old enough to go on your own pillaging adventures. Don’t forget this Viking Lord Shield and Sword combo though.

You remember your grandfather telling you stories of his shield blocked an enemy ax, as he swung Leg-Biter (his sword) at his foe. You’ll have to face some enemy steel to figure out what to name your sword.

Nah, QueenLet's set the record straight. Goddesses are not basic queens. Yes, queens can be righteous, brutal, powerful. But they simply aren't Goddesses. Queens might rule over armies and economies but only a goddess can control the weather and bring endless winter to the earth when someone really peeves her off. Goddess stories of terror, creation, and petty revenge are so good that we can't even find any to tell in this description without getting into trouble with the boss. So if "Yaas, Queen" isn't enough for you. If quivering in fear seems more like your style then this Women's Olympic Empress costume is the one for you!Details & DesignYou'll confidently rule the roost when you slip into this goddess costume. A slim white sheath is cinched with a golden belt and topped with a gold-edged one-shoulder neckline. The shoulder is accented with a printed medallion and a red swath of cloth drapes around your hip in a straight out of the ancient world way. Golden armbands wrap around the arms to top off this costume in just the right way!You've Got the PowerIt might take a little time to get used to all this power you've gained. After all, mortals used to go through perilous hurdles and odysseys to gain an Olympic status. Now, all you need to do is order this costume and the power will be yours! Now you might not be able to send a storm to follow that guy who cut you off in traffic, but finish off your look with a laurel leaf crown and a pair of gladiator sandals and you'll feel like you have all the mortals at your beck and call. Just remember, you don't just have the power of a throne, you've got the power of the heavens!
Battlefield to BoardroomClara Barton is one of the most iconic nurses in history. It's no wonder, she bravely marched into battlefields to take care of wounded soldiers during the Civil War. Not only did she save lives with her own hands, but she also empowered many women after her to follow in her footsteps. After the war in the US, she traveled the world and advocated for the protection of sick and wounded soldiers by all sides during wartime. And once she got back home, Clara Barton helped found the American Red Cross, where she served as president until she was 83 in 1904. Just imagine how strong a woman would have to be to hold such an important position in a time when women weren't even allowed to vote!Design & DetailsOur in-house design team took care to add plenty of historic details into this Made By Us Clara Barton costume. They created a silhouette that would look right at home in the 1860s with billowing sleeves and a floor-length skirt with a built-in petticoat. At the same time, they've added handy modern shortcuts to make slipping back into time easier such as a zipper up the back and elastic around the wrists. To make you ready to serve as the Battlefield angel, the costume is complete with white cuffs that slip over the dress sleeves and a matching broadcloth apron with a proud red cross on the chest. A neat bonnet completes the look, making sure you'll look right at home in a 19th-century medical tent! Historical MedicineIt took a real tough cookie to face medicine back in the day. These days we've got miracles such as Asprin and anti-biotics and handwashing on our side. Are you ready to take on a brave and iconic role? Do it in skirts with this Made By Us Clara Barton costume!
A True Freedom FighterFreedom is a powerful thing. Many take it for granted, but Harriet Tubman cherished it. She cherished it so much, that she devoted her entire life to helping people to reclaim freedom that had been taken from them.

It really doesn’t matter where you look for ancient tales about some of the most famous of mythical creatures. Ultimately, the core of the tale rings pretty accurate no matter where you’re finding it. Such is the case of the mysterious Medusa. In some tales, she was a woman of such incredible beauty that she was cursed by jealous gods, turned into a monster that no mortal could handle looking upon, ultimately even meeting her own end upon seeing her horrific reflection. In others, she was a sorceress granted great magic by demons who ultimately subverted her form over several years. But, one great fear remains true of the mighty gorgon… her gorgeous locks of hair became a nest of hissing vipers!But, who is to say that a nest of serpent hair can’t still be pretty! Prove those jealous gods and cruel demons wrong by showing off this exotic and lovely Wicked Medusa wig. This synthetic weave of vibrant green dreadlocks have just enough of the entwined serpent look to give people a second thought about getting too close but are exotic and beautiful enough that they’ll have to take a second look! Join this with the right sequined green dress or a nice set of serpent contact lenses to turn monster into mystery!
Is your child finally ready to join the raiding party? Is he ready to charge into battle, like the brave little Viking warrior that he is? Are you ready to put a little battle axe in his hands and send him into battle? Well, cool your jets there! Before you can send your little marauder off into the world of combat, you might want to equip him with the right look. He needs some armor, specifically a helmet and no ordinary helmet will do! Yes, he needs a majestic looking helm with horns and plenty of fur. That ought to scare his enemies on the battlefield. He needs this horned Viking helmet!This kids Viking helmet might not be entirely historically accurate, since our history experts tell us that Vikings didn’t wear horns on their heads. They also tell us that their helmets were made out of heavy metals. Ours is made out of foam, which is much easier to lug around than metal and the stuffed horns are made out of soft material, so no animals were harmed in the making of this helmet. So really, this helmet is much better than the actual Viking helmets from the days of old!
A Mind of Magnificence!By age 20, Leonardo da Vinci had attained the title of "Master" in Guild of Saint Luke. At age 20, we were still trying to successfully cook ramen noodles in the microwave. Yes, geniuses are just cut from a different cloth. It's safe to say that we're not quite on the level of Leo's genius, but perhaps your child is ready to take on the role!

Nobility! Finery! Passionate and powerful gods! Academic and tempered minds engaging in worthy debate and discourse over complex and important matters! Drunken nights of wild boasting and debauchery! … Well, not all of that seems like it belongs wrapped up into the same perceived culture, but this is the Ancient Rome we know and love and it is completely understandable how so many find themselves seeking to reenact much of the ancient civilization.Whether you have ambitions of high society and the delightful antics that might accompany them or grand designs for a place among the ancient Roman gods, there is certainly one thing that holds true: you must look the part. And that part demands the perfect toga! The illustrious garment is seen worn both by Greek and Roman gods… which is admittedly a bit of a confounding kerfuffle. Are they the same gods interpreted by two different cultures? Two different pantheons who occasionally reside in similar places? Neptune, for one, was a pretty raging guy and rather impossible to deal with on even the best of days, though his Greek counterpart, Poseidon, enjoyed offering council and healing to those he liked… (and tormenting those he didn’t). Well, we might not be able to solve those differences, but we can definitely recognize that they had superb toga taste.And, whether you’re looking at doing a historical reenactment or headed out to the local frat for the perfect toga party, you are going to look fantastic, too, with this Deluxe Men’s Toga costume. The cream colored tunic has a draping front, edged with contrasting black and metallic gold-leaf brocade to give you that exotic and wealthy feel. The sleeves are edged with faux leather and the matching wrist cuffs give you that air of authenticity. Be sure to add the right leather sandals and perhaps a crown of ivy and you’ll be ready to ascend without even needing to debate the deific origins!

This brave African American woman escaped slavery and made 13 missions back into the South to rescue 70 people through the Underground Railroad. But did you know that during the American Civil War, Harriet also served as a nurse, an armed scout and a spy for the Union Army?

She also was an activist for women’s suffrage in her later years.

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!

Imagine you are hard at work running your busy Renaissance-era tavern, pouring ale and slinging stew for weary travelers and local regulars. Do you picture yourself wearing an elegant gown, with pretty slippers and streamers in your hair? Or, would you rather be decked out in this Tavern Maiden Costume, and show everyone how to really have a good time?If you're like us, most of our knowledge of Renaissance times comes from faires and movies based on Shakespeare plays. These probably aren't the most historically accurate sources, but they sure paint a fun scene, and one of the staples of this scene is the humble tavern. Taverns seem to be where all the good stuff happened back then. It's where you went for food, drink, warmth, news, and to look for work. And in many taverns, there was a tough talking gal running the show. She kept things from getting too rowdy, and also made sure everyone had a drink in their hand and a room for the night. Well, if they had coin to spare, that is.This Renaissance-inspired costume is a fun way to step into the part of a tavern keeper, or many other roles from "ye olde times." The earthy and warm colored dress and corset would look right at home in an old village full of hardworking people who know how to let their hair down. Just slip on a pair of sturdy, sassy boots, and you'll be all ready to handle tonight's crowd at your imaginary tavern from earlier, or to let your imagination run wild at the Renaissance Festival!
Champion of ChampionsThe crowd is dead silent. The champion is about to emerge! Is that a flash of his metal helmet, or a glimpse of his crimson cape? Yes! Here he comes, charging into the arena. He is SO ready for today's battle, especially if it's between him and his squishy purple chew toy, or a tennis ball, or a piece of newspaper, or random sock he found on the floor... anything, really, except for the neighbor's cat (she beats him up). Today, the audience will rally around this pint-sized warrior whose spirit is far bigger than the Coliseum itself! Product DetailsDress your furry warrior in this epically hilarious Gladiator Costume for Dogs! The exclusive outfit slips on over your pup's front legs and fastens alont his or her back. The chest and back are made of foam-backed brown faux leather that's decorated with embroidered gold swirls, while the sleeves are made of metallic silver material. Matching silver-tone gauntlets with elastic edges slip over your dog's front legs. The red jersey-knit cape is sewn in place at the neckline and decorated with a gold-tone medallion. The foam-backed helmet has a red crest and stays in place with an elastic cord. Enter the ArenaHail, Caesar! This pup, about to look ridiculously cute in his mock armor, salutes you! By the end of the day, however, even a Roman emperor would be pledging allegiance and service to a warrior who is as sweet as this one. He has powers that the whole Roman Empire cannot withstand, including warm snuggles, little snuffly dog kisses, and pure enthusiasm for chasing anything that moves. Everyone who sees him will be conquered by him!
Toga party!!! It's something they've shouted throughout history, from Ancient Rome (where every day was a toga party) to modern frat houses in the good old U.S. of A. Whatever time period you're into... and whether you're plotting the downfall of Julius Caesar, or just celebrating the end of the semester in classic college style... our Plus Size Men's Toga is a timeless way to dress for the occasion!The applications are pretty much limitless with this costume, and so are the personas that you can take on. Greek philosopher? Plato, Aristotle, Socrates--they all totally wore togas. Roman citizen? Togas are what they dressed up in to visit the coliseum... and pretty much everywhere else. College party animal? Yep, you guessed it. No self-respecting frat boy in the 50s and 60s partied without one of these fine tunics (trust us, we've watched a lot of movies). And let's not forget the space cults Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock ran into in basically every other episode of the original Star Trek. All of them rocked the toga like it never went out of style (and if you ask us, it didn't). It may be one of the most versatile forms of dress (and costume) that ever existed.So whatever the occasion... Halloween, campus bash, a vote in the Roman senate, space cult meeting... the toga is a great choice, not only for its wearability and style, but also for its historical street cred. Made by us, the plus size men's toga is a costume for all seasons!
