A fiesty first lady"Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of husbands. Remember all men would be tyrants if they could."Dang! Abigail Adams didn't pull any punches, did she? Actually, this fiesty first lady made a reputation for herself as one of the most eloquent figures in the early history of the United States, and that's pretty impressive when her husband, John Adams, was known as one of the best letter writers (kind of like history's bloggers) of the period. Some historians even say Abigail was a better writer than her husband, and she didn't have half the chances at a fancy education that he did. So, you go, girl!There are plenty of role models to choose from when it comes to America's First Ladies, but we think Abigail Adams is one of the best. Not only was she a staunch supporter of women's education, she also spoke out against slavery and took a keen interest in her husband's politics. In fact, because she was so politically active, some people started referring to her as "Mrs. President"! It's no wonder that you're thinking about dressing up like her for your next costume party, and we can help!Product detailsThis exclusive Plus Size Women’s Abigail Adams Costume is sure to be a hit, whether you’re going to an inauguration or just a costume party. The red, long-sleeved pullover dress is 100 percent polyester, with a zipper down the back center for easy wear. The collar and sleeve cuffs are trimmed with lace, while there is elastic in the waist for a cinched look. Take it from us, girl: You will be the most fashionable belle at the regency ball!Good evening, Mrs. PresidentShow off your patriotic side and wow the crowd at your next costume party with this costume. We promise that if there's a vote for best costume, you'll win by a landslide!
There's gold in them thar hills!It’s been countless years since you turned your back on civilization to go make your fortune. Your beard is down to your knees, your shirt has more holes than a wheel of Swiss cheese, and you’ve had it up to here with wrestling bears. But you just know that the oil is out there somewhere. You wipe your brow as you look up to the unforgiving desert sun, hike up your pants, and give your pickaxe one more swing before calling it a day.A brief calm melts before the ground below you begins to swell and rumble. Thin ebony rivulets start to puddle at your feet. This is the moment you’ve waited for. You bound out of your hole just in the nick of time as the earth beneath erupts into a geyser of black gold. Texas tea. Oil, that is. You sprint to the nearest town to stake your claim, and in only a few months you’re tanning beside the pool at your seaside mansion. Not bad for someone who dropped out of 1st grade, right?Design & DetailsOur Prospector Costume will let you live out this roughneck vision of the American dream, back when fortunes were made in the real wilderness rather than the concrete jungle. After wearing this once you may just contemplate trading in your minivan for a burro and setting off for the Sierra Madre. What could be better than that? Bears aside, of course. So many bears.
History Come to LifeYour kiddo has done all the research, written the required 3-page report, and are making plans to become a living statue. Don't worry, it's just for history class. They're very dedicated though and want to make sure they look just like their chosen historical figure, Betsy Ross.Part of your child's research revealed just how a 19th-century woman dressed, which is very helpful. It's also made the idea of getting them ready for their final presentation a little daunting. Bonnets, bustles, petticoats, and worst of all corsets were standard issue for women in the Victorian era Betsy knew. None of these items exist, even deep, deep, inside your closet. Keep the worries away though. We've got just the thing to get her ready to become the one and only Betsy Ross.Design & DetailsIt'll be like Betsy Ross walked straight out of the 1800s and into your home when your kiddo is wearing this exclusive Girls Betsy Ross Costume. The Made by Us costume makes it easy to get an authentic look with just a dress and a couple, included accessories. A vintage patterned fabric gives this dress a historic feel without the need for a corset or even a petticoat for volume. Under the skirt, layers of tulle and netting create the bustled look of a full Victorian skirt. With the accompanying white scarf and bonnet and she'll have the right accessories to bring Betsy to life. And to make sure no one misses which US history figure is visiting, we've included a replica of Betsy's American flag to proudly display, too!Victorian Made EasyBetsy Ross is known for creating the first American flag, but many forget she was a professional seamstress. Keeping that in mind, it only makes sense to bring her to life in well-made garments. We believe Betsy would be proud of this (much simpler) Victorian ensemble, but we know your kiddo will love the way they look with it on!
Round Table ReadyIf you went on a quest, what do you think it would be? There are the classic quests, of course. The ones where you're sent off to rescue a maiden from a high tower or find the spring of eternal youth. But that maiden can save herself, she'll probably befriend her dragon captor and ride on out of there. And the fountain of youth isn't nearly as important when you've got access to plastic surgery and hair dye! Maybe you could go on a quest to solve modern problems. Hunt for a pillow that's the right balance between flat and fluffy. Or you could head out to fight people who want to post spoilers to popular television shows before anyone can even get to the end of the episode. Ready for your modern quest? You're going to need a modern lady knight costume to make it work!Product DetailsThis costume is both tough and chic with a sleek dress that has faux leather accents to make you look ready for a fight. Gray fabric is layered over a soft chainmail texture base. A dramatic cape falls off one shoulder to make each of your entrances a showstopper. The look is polished off with a metallic helmet headpiece, silver gauntlets, and a faux leather belt to make sure you're battle-ready. Say It With Your ShieldWant to make your outfit yours? We think this costume would look great with a sword and shield combo. Then, whenever anyone brings up a subject you don't want to talk about, raise the shield so they know that it's off limits. No matter what battle you might be fighting, you'll look ready for anything. Want to make this into a group's costume? Peruse our Rennaisance costumes and you're all sure to be knighted with Halloween honors!
Clothes Make the ManNo! Crowns make the man. This crown, in fact, makes you into a Viking King. Or Jarl. Or Chief. Or whatever the rest of your costume says about you. Hmm… ok, we admit that clothes influence the initial impression of the man somewhat, but nonetheless, we maintain that crowns are also very powerful in terms of first impressions. So there.Besides, who ever heard of someone taking control of vast armies without a crown? Well, we suppose the President of the United States doesn’t wear one… or any generals… Ok, we admit that that was another bad example, but nonetheless! We adamantly oppose the idea of allowing costumes to remain incomplete. It’s just not right.Hordes of HoardsOne of the best features of a crown is that it implies that you’re either fabulously wealthy or immensely powerful. Whichever it may be in reality, you will certainly be the target of many curious courtiers wondering whether you have hordes of terrifying pillagers, or hoards of tantalizing coin.I’m Viking that CrownHere’s another thing people will say! Get it?! Viking?? Liking?? Well, in our office poll at Halloweencostumes.com, 3 out of 100 people thought that this was a funny pun (yes, it was us).
Quoth the Raven, 'Some Coiffure!' Once upon a Halloweeny, while we gandered weak and weary, at our hairstyle (sad and dreary) upon the mirror of our door, there we wondered a simple query, one that got us rather cheery: "Could we make our hair do more!?" The first step was to get out of that rhythmic pattern of Edgar Allan Poe's spectacular style. It's pretty tough coming up with stellar looks while you're stuck in the mindset of a haunting song. It did, however, give us some solid inspiration for ways to help you access your inner poet. Don't scratch your noggin all night trying to figure out the next stanza of your epic poem when you can transform into the epic writer in a snap! Design & DetailsOur In-House design team didn't need to wait for a mysterious devil bird to swing by and give them the idea. This Edgar Allan Poe Wig and Mustache kit was a Made by Us design that they'd been dreaming about for a while. You'll have a mesh cap of synthetic hair that is styled after the dismal style of the horror poet as well as a matching 'stache that will keep you longing for Lenore all night!Let Your Hair Do the TalkingWe've all got a secret yearning to let our deepest feelings out. Don't wait for that Telltale Heart to do the talking. Throw on this Edgar Allan Poe Wig and Mustache and you can just focus on the fun!
Historical SpotlightsIn our experience, some of the best-looking costumes get overlooked just because they were inspired by a historical era that doesn’t lend itself to outfits with a lot of bells and whistles. But this Adult Green Renaissance Lady Costume is the rare exception, because it goes hand-in-hand with one of the best-known tunes in English folk music! So just for fun, we thought we’d toss in a few bars of our own interpretation: Alas, good lady, you’re headed wrong If you think you can purchase theeA finer set of Renaissance dudsThan this gown in the color green. Green, green is on the sleeves, It’s on the bodice, o’er the knees,It’s in the grass, it’s in the trees,Now you can look green like these!Can’t you just hear the trill of recorders and the idle strumming of lutes? Well, we can—but we have a tendency to get a little too immersed in these kinds of things. If that’s even possible!Product DetailsEither way, we think this is the perfect outfit for a costume party or Ren Faire, especially if you want to get in the olde-fashioned spirit without fussing about authenticity. This elegant combo includes a flowing dress in rich green velour with gilded accents befitting a noblewoman, and a flowery headband to match. With a little music from the period and a quaint pair of dancing shoes, it’ll be a real challenge not to cut a caper or two!
What the "L"When you're a chess piece, the stakes are high. There aren't that many pieces out there on the board and all the pieces have to play their part just right. Pawns hop forward one step unless it's their first move of the game. The bishops zoom diagonally along however many squares they need to. The queen of each side is the boss of the chessboard, moving however she wants as long as she doesn't jump any squares. And the knights? Well, the knights know how to move. They move in an L shape to protect their side from any pieces that might cause trouble in their checkered kingdom. Product Details Are you ready to take on your knighthood? This headpiece allows you to break out of your "L" mold. The foam helmet has a soft top and a stiff visor textured to look like armor a jouster would wear. The faceguard fastens down the front with a strip of hook and loop fastener. A size adjuster on the interior allows this helmet to be used with different sizes and ages. Whether you're taking a seat at the round table or protecting the King on a chessboard, this helmet will allow you to take on the role of knight with confidence!
How does a post-apocalyptic coachman travel to his next steam engine convention? Why, in top-notch steampunk style, of course!We have to admit, we do not always fully “get” the steampunk aesthetic. Cerebrally, it just doesn’t make sense--is it the look of the future, or of the past? But not getting it doesn’t stop us from loving it! It’s so cool. Whenever we see a really awesome steampunk outfit, we understand that true steampunk style is elusive and difficult to capture in words. So if you want to make your ensemble speak volumes about your favorite trend, this durable Brown Suede Coachman Hat will be a huge help! Remember, a well dressed gentleman should never leave home without his hat--and we’re pretty sure that rule is as applicable in the distant future as it was back when steam engines were just hitting the scene!
Prepare for War The enemy Saxons think that they're safe. They have no idea what's in store! Just off the coast of the kitchen floats a Viking longboat. Its dragon figurehead is a fearsome sight, but no less terrifying is the band of courageous, ferocious warriors armed to the teeth with their preferred prop weapons. If the Saxons don't immediately hand over all of their chocolate chip cookies, bards will sing of this day's battle! Product DetailsVictory is sure to be yours when you wear this exclusive Toddler Victorious Viking Costume for Boys! The outfit includes a short-sleeved pullover tunic made of brown polyester jersey knit. The V-shaped placket, sleeves, hemline and chest are decorated with printed and stitched braid details. A foam-backed belt secures around your waist and is trimmed with faux fur to match the brown cape with its faux fur collar. Faux fur also edges the foam-backed wrist cuffs (the North Sea can get chilly). The brown jersey knit pants have an elastic waistband for a comfortable fit. No Pillaging NecessaryWhat would the legendary Norse raiders think of the custom of Halloween? "Wait... so people just give us candy? We don't have to raid it? What if we threaten them just a little bit?" Enjoy trick-or-treating with the rest of your warrior band or wear this costume for any dress-up event you like. It's also a fun choice for imaginative play! Hopefully your stuffed animals don't mind always being the pillage target. Maybe later they can help you discover North America.
To Forge or Not to ForgeEver tried forging your own set of armor from scratch? It's not easy! You need to harvest some iron ore, melt it, mold it, and whack it with a hammer. Then you need to heat it and whack it with a hammer some more! At least, that's what we understand from all of the medieval fantasy movies that we've watched...We wanted to create an easier way for anyone to get some solid-looking armor for their knight costume, and our designers came up with this Knight Costume Helmet for adults. The realistic design looks great with any knight outfit, getting you ready for Halloween or the Ren fest in just a few minutes!Design & DetailsThis Made By Us design is inspired by the knight helms seen in fantasy tales.

The exterior has a tarnished metal paint job, complete with brass trim to give it an authentic look. It might not protect you in battle like real armor, but it will definitely make you look the part when you head to the Renaissance fair!
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.

Just make sure you keep your feet on the ground despite your angelic looking attire!
Make way for the bad guy.Sometimes it’s fun to be the bad guy. Try it sometime. For example, when a waiter asks you if you want dessert, say that you don’t, even if you actually do. When you’re going through a door and you see someone walking toward it, hold it open for them no matter how far away they are. Sometimes they actually walk faster! And when someone asks you how you’re doing, say you’re doing fine -- even if you’re actually not! With devious feats like these under your belt you’ll be well on your way to full-time bad guy status in no time!People have enjoyed being bad guys for as long as there have been people. The first recorded act of badness took place in 78,000 BC when a very naughty cavemen painted a bunch of wooly mammoths on his neighbor’s cave wall. His neighbor never managed to get it all off. And did you know that the Great Wall of China was actually built as a prank? It’s true, the Chinese wanted to mess with the Mongolians so they built it while they were sleeping. When the Mongolians woke up they were furious because their favorite villages to pillage were all on the other side of the wall. And the Chinese just laughed! What a bunch of bad dudes!Medieval times were no exception. For every white knight there were at least a couple of black knights, walking in people’s flower beds and unscrewing the salt shaker caps at diners. It was a rough time for everyone. You too can be a black knight and terrorize the countryside, doing things like forgetting your mom’s birthday and not rewinding your rental cassette tapes after watching them. No one will doubt your authenticity with this detailed costume, which rather ironically was made by very good people with an eye for fine detail.
...grey-eyed Athena slowed the night when night was most profound... - Homer, The OdysseyMost little girls want to be a princess. They want to be rescued by a handsome prince. They want the fairy tale. But that is all it is, a fairy tale. What they really want is a pretty dress, and a story with dragons, and heroic saviors.Now, don't get us wrong. We would take a pretty dress, and a story with dragons everyday of the week. That would be awesome. But sometimes we want a little more. So does your daughter. She doesn’t just want to be a pretty face. She wants to be a Goddess. A wise, and powerful goddess that doesn’t have to rely on anyone to save her. She wants to be intelligent, and strong. (That doesn't mean she can't also have a pretty dress at the same time.)She can be everything she wants to be. She is already brave, and smart. She fights for what she believes in. Now all she needs is this Child Athena Goddess Costume. It will make her feel like the goddess you already know she is. Yes, it will be a pretty dress, but she will also embody Athena, the Goddess of wisdom. The kind of goddess who doesn’t need a man to save her, because she is also the goddess of war. She might not have stories with dragons, but she will have stories where she defeats Titans. It is better to be wise, and fierce, than to just have a pretty dress.
Style SupportFace it. You wouldn’t refer to pioneer women’s clothing as stylish. Practical? Absolutely! From the rather dull colors to the carefree fits, every piece of apparel worked as hard as the woman wearing it. Brown dresses hid dirt stains earned while cleaning sod houses and tending barn animals. And while floor-length skirts sound like a tripping hazard, their flowy design was easy to move in. A woman could even ride a horse while wearing one.The only thing these “drab” garments weren’t great for was fashion. Strolling into town and trying to look your best in a dust-stained, farm-scented dress didn’t exactly scream elegant or work. And while there were bigger things to worry about than looking chic in a community of frontiersmen, getting to wear a nice outfit has always been a silver lining on a woman’s day!Design & DetailsGain a boost of confidence even dressed in a plain pioneer costume when you layer this Made By Us Women’s Hoop Skirt underneath! Whether you’re walking into a dusty saloon or going for an authentic frontier-style for your friend’s Halloween party, this simple accessory is here to support the cause. This crinoline adds lift to your look with its four hoops that start at mid-thigh and graduate in size from smallest to largest. Meanwhile, its narrow elastic waistline holds securely without creating bulk at your midsection.Dull to DreamyAdd volume to maxis. Raise your hemline just a hair. Or turn dull into dreamy all with this exclusive Women’s Hoop Skirt! With this easy-to-use costume accessory in your wardrobe, every droopy length or deflated costume idea gets the lift it needs!
How many times have you gone for a hike into the woods and heard a few too many bird calls or other animal sounds and wondered for just a split second if you might have wandered into the amazing Sherwood Forest? Whether we’re talking about the prince of thieves who bounds in tights with his other incanting merry men, the dark and brooding archer who faces a seemingly endless line of corruption thanks to the usurping prince and his mean-spirited sheriff, or even the high-spirited and fox-faced animated hero to the peasants, we’re always fortunate to know that Robin of Locksley isn’t far away! And, it is worth noting that Robin told us long ago what a fox says: he makes bird calls!But, as fascinating and adventurous as Robin might be, it is his love who has our hearts! Maid Marion is a lass that we’d expect should be remaining comfortable behind stone walls awaiting the arrival of her uncle and rightful King Richard to return. But, no! She’s just as ready to hop from high windows onto the horseback and gallop her way into the forest in order to both see her loving bandit and make sure that Prince John is brought down!Join the adventure and win the hearts of the rich and poor alike this year with this Enchanting Maid Marion costume. A grand blend of polyester, crushed velvet, satin, and knit mesh, you’ll be the virtual queen in this sky blue dress with a fancy panel of brocade print. Long Juliet drapings at the arm keep you in high class during your medieval jaunt and are only heightened by the headpiece lined in bright golden sequins and an alluring red mesh veil. Enchant your bandit back home and get John thrown into jail with this enchanting look… and maybe steal a few extra hearts along the way.
This morning, after just walking through the door, your boss told you that he needs a bunch of extra work done before lunch. Your computer crashed, and it took over an hour to get it back online. During lunch, you spilled smoothie all over your favorite shirt, and you were ten minutes late coming back because you spent so much time trying to get the stain out. And at the gym, all you wanted to do was exercise the bad day away, but the resident jocks wouldn't leave you alone. Does this kind of frustrating day sound familiar to you?Wouldn't it be nice to return to the old days of kings, queens, and warriors? No TPS reports, no crashing computers, and no gym rats. Just mighty battles and epic quests for glory. The bad news is, no, you can't return to those old days. In fact, you might be surprised by how awful those times could be. Just think about the lack of indoor plumbing and bathrooms and you'll quickly figure it out. But, the good news is you can still acheive that fantasy with this Warrior Maiden Costume. Escape the rigors of work by slipping into this sensual and historical costume.This costume is 100% cotton gauze fabric, very soft and comfortable. The skirt and halter top is joined at the center front by a wooden ring. The skirt has an elastic waist and back zipper with sexy thigh-high front slits. The top in back has elastic edges and a center zipper. The self-fabric halter straps tie around the neck. It comes with a brown vinyl belt/harness, vinyl gauntlets, and a headband. Add some sexy heels to complete this costume!
Pretty and PracticalSteampunk is one of those styles that is hard to define but easy to identify. It’s an interesting and beautiful idea of what the world could have been like or what it might be like someday. One of our favorite things about the steampunk genre is how it blends the practical with the pretty. Not only do those cogs on your goggles help them adjust to your head, but they also look awesome! Brass, which is often the metal of choice in steampunk creations, is certainly shiny and pleasant to look at, but it’s also significantly antimicrobial.Product DetailsIf the rest of your steampunk outfit can be useful while looking good, why can’t your boots be the same? These Women’s Steampunk Boots are the perfect thing to pair with your dress or suit! High heels have their time and place, but when you need reliable, non-slip footwear, boots are the shoes to choose from. They have two colors of faux leather to match either a brown or black scheme, and three functional pockets for all your bits and baubles. You’ll love to wear this practical (in more ways than one) pair of boots on all your adventures!

What will your toddler imagine they are doing while they are wearing this costume? They might pretend to be a merchant, trading goods and wares all around the countryside.

When your neighborhood erupts into a brutal battlefield, how will you react? Will you cower under your kitchen table, or will you take up arms and soar onto the battlefield like a beautiful Valkyrie of Norse legend? Yeah, the second options seems way better. Who wants to sit on the bleachers when there's a whole army of enemies to face in combat? Of course, you're going to need a reliable weapon to deal the finishing blow to your foes and you're going to need a sturdy shield to block enemy attacks!Okay, so maybe this Valiant Knight Sword & Shield combo might not exactly protect you from the vicious blows of a real battle, since it's just a toy. It does, however, let you gain the appearance of a valiant warrior from a distant land filled with fantasy, magic, dragons and convoluted plot lines. If you're a LARPer, then it adds that extra zing to your outfit. And if you just like toy swords and shields, well, then this pair is everything you could ask.

This is kind of embarrassing, but we first knew Leonardo da Vinci as that one painter guy that one of the Ninja Turtles was named after (hey, we're no history experts here). We did a little research and it turns out that he's one pretty cool dude. He painted some awesome pieces, like the Mona Lisa and he even sketched up some plans for a helicopter. Of course, technology back then wasn't like it is today, so most people probably just thought he had his head in the clouds. Oh, and did we mention that he had some wild hair and a beard? Now, you can get his Renaissance-man style with ease!This Da Vinci Wig brings you the look of the Italian artist (not the Ninja Turtle). The wig features some synthetic silvery locks that will have you looking like a genius from the Renaissance, so make sure to have that paint brush ready!
Steampunk Beginnings Ever wanted to get into steampunk, but had no idea how to get started? We get it! After all, some of those steampunk cosplay costumes are pretty intense! They have a complete array of vintage pieces that they've selected to be a part of their outfit. They have hand-crafted pieces.

Even that person that's fully decked out in steampunk gear had to start with something small! Perhaps you just need a single piece to inspire you!

The Last Gear You NeedFor those who love steampunk, they know that the genre is all about the details. A mix of Victorian fashion and old school industrial technology, steampunk strives to create an alternate universe kind of experience. There is something alluring about the genre's impossibly complicated machinery, expecially when it is blended with old timey clothes. It's as if they SHOULD go together—there's no modern technology, or anything—but you know there is something not quite right. It's so fun to believe it's real, though! Keep the suspension of disbelief going with intricate costume details like this Chain Gear Necklace Antique.Product DetailsSteampunk fashion contains a lot of gears, cogs, springs, and other mechanical machinery pieces. It's not just used on useful pieces like aviator goggles that rotate lenses or canes that can also shoot flames. Even corsets, belts, and other accessories are decorated with machinery, to keep the costumes part of the made up era. This necklace has all the little cogs and gears you could want! Even the clasp is a cogwheel and pipe design. The mix of antiqued metal and shining silver adds another element of visual interest. It's the perfect steampunk necklace!
Even though our professional training is in making Halloween costumes, we have an amateur's enthusiasm for a lot of different occupations. So the part of us that likes to read biographies and volunteer at the local historical society was really psyched about this regal Toddler Knight Costume! Unfortunately, their museum doesn't have any displays about the age of chivalry, since the head-to-toe chain mail fad never quite made it to this part of the world. But we're still really excited, so we thought we'd take a shot at giving this outfit some brief historical context. Ahem:About a thousand years ago, people were so good at putting pointy pieces of metal on the end of sticks, they didn't think there was any room for improvement. But along came a clever (and kind of crazy) blacksmith who realized that linking a bunch of little metal loops together was a really great way to stop pointy pieces of metal from getting to the squishy parts of a person! Everybody who had a suit of this new kind of armor became very popular. In fact, the inhabitants of each village and hamlet handed out candy to these glittering guardians, hoping that they'd stick around for a while. That gave rise to knights, a class of armor-wearers for hire, who went from town to town collecting treats for a living! And sometimes they wore crowns for fun (and dramatic effect).In that proud tradition we humbly offer this detailed outfit, so that anyone can reap the sweet rewards that come from dressing up in a shiny coat of mail! The end!
Modern LifeFace it, we've come a long way since the first cave people roamed the wilds. They were busy hunting wooly mammoths and learning to cook with fire, but we've got super important things to tend to nowadays like social media feeds and ordering food to our doors via an app. Don't look down on our prehistoric ancestors for being quite so primitive, though! We think you oughta celebrate them. And, naturally, we're gonna suggest that you do that by picking out a prehistoric costume.

Tough with a Capital "T"Back in the day, women weren't allowed to do a while lot. You could barely even step outside your home unchaperoned! And even the idea of voting in elections? Forget about it. You were supposed to stay inside and pretend to be a simpleton without any thoughts or ideas of your own. Nuts to that!Well, luckily, groups of tough women, who weren't afraid of breaking from the social norms decided that enough was enough. They got out, campaigned for the right to vote, and made their voices heard. It's due to these tough and courageous women that we all enjoy the right to vote and now, you can pay homage to those brave freedom fighters with this Women's English Suffragette Costume.Product DetailsThis women's costume showcases an important part of history! It starts with a one-piece dress that's styled to look like a skirt and ruffled blouse, which would have been the attire during the Women's Suffrage Movement. It fits with fasteners in the back and comes with decorative faux pearls on the sleeve cuffs. The cameo attaches to the collar to add an authentic look to the outfit and the whole thing is finished off with a sash. The sash fits around your shoulder and reads, "Votes for Women". The sign is not included, so you'll have to craft your own if you want the full look from the image.Won't Back DownWhether you want to make a social statement about current inequalities in the world, or you just want to show your respect to the proud women who came before you, this Women's Suffragette Costume is a great way to do it! Just make sure you bring your fiercest attitude to the party, because the women who fought for Women's Suffragette didn't back down from anything!
The Vikings were known for grit, fearlessness, and exploration; they were not known for having skilled barbers or hairdressers. So as a result, they sometimes looked a bit shaggy. Men braided their beards to keep them tidy. But it turns out that the shaggy, unkempt look was a good thing, because it made their warriors look really fierce when they faced their enemies! Now, we have modern technology and tools to keep ourselves looking neat and clean. Can you imagine showing up for your Monday morning All Hands meeting with beard braids? (Actually, that could be kind of fun!) Lucky for you, you can get that ideal Viking look for your costume without depriving your barber of income when you wear this Blonde Viking Wig, Beard and Mustache. It looks wild and ready to set sail on an adventure beneath a horned helmet for Halloween!
So, you want to get into politics, eh? Think you can swing it? There are a lot of rules once you're in this elite group. Meetings begin at down and could go till dusk. You won't be paid and you'll have to be willing to spend all day at the temple of Apollo. Wait, what? We're talking old-school Roman senators, you mean you want to be a modern senator? We have no idea how that works but we do know plenty about togas.Senators back in the B.C.'s knew how to dress to impress. Forget about pin-stripes, lapel pins, and cheesy seasonal ties. These senators draped themselves in the finest wool and if they were ultra well-off they'd even add a strip of red or purple cloth to their drapery. You have to wonder if they knew they were setting a standard for college parties thousands of years in their future. How many of those long days of filibustering and vetoing ended in a healthy, "chug, chug, chug" chant? It would be weirdly comforting if we knew that senators had to participate in rush-week to get a seat in the senate.Well, whether you want to go back in time to learn about democracy from the ground up or are going to an annual toga party, you're sure to look like a well-to-do senator in this outfit. Not only does this costume have an eye-catching red cloth draped over the ribbed linen-like material but the cloth's hems are also lined in gold. The whole ensemble is belted with gold and topped off with golden laurels, giving you the authority to discuss converting the main city aquifer into a waterslide.
Beauty of the NileWho was the real power in the ancient world? Julius Caeser or Marc Antony? Please. They were men. They had some successful campaigns, but so did another highly acclaimed ruler of their time. Plus, this particular ruler had a huge advantage: Personal style. Dazzling the masses and impressing your subjects is an important part of keeping the throne. And let's be honest: A sweeping gown is much more impressive than a boring old toga. Product DetailsBegin your glittering reign when you wear your exclusive Plus Size Queen Cleopatra Costume for Women! The sleeveless dress has a bodice made of shimmery gold faux linen. Center ruching accents the flattering V neckline and continues down the hips as the bodice forms a gently draped overskirt that parts in the middle to reveal the long metallic knit underskirt. A foam-backed belt with a front drape secures around your waist, and a semi-sheer metallic knit cape fastens around your shoulders via a gold faux leather collar. Crown your costume with the golden faux leather headband! Your Majesty Is Cleopatra #goals? Definitely! It's true that she did defeat her own brother in battle and pull some underhanded tricks, but that's just "making tough decisions." She's a smart and strategic general in her own right whose reign is not to be underestimated. The only thing she wasn't exactly great about is keeping her distance from snakes. Make sure you don't get too close to anyone wearing a serpent outfit this Halloween!

BITESIZE ANCIENT HISTORYWe can hear you, already. "Not another history lesson!?" Well, just wait! Don't run off. This is going to be a quick and easy one that we're sure you're going to love! (And, you can't run, anyway. We've latched the doors and set up all sorts of ingenious traps to keep you around.) See, the thing about history is that there's just so much of it. It gets too huge to handle. That's why we're going to break up the history of all time into little, easy-to-handle chunks!There's something about little versions of things that are somehow super cute, too. Take the real-life "boy king" of Egypt. Tutankhamun was only nine when he took over an entire dynasty and even managed to keep the title until he grew up! It was pretty commonplace that folks would worship the Pharaohs after they were gone, but ancient Egyptians were loving King Tut while he was alive. Obviously, that's because they couldn't contain the adorable "awwws!" DESIGN & DETAILSBring the legend to life and make history once again when you transform your tot into Tut with this exclusive Egyptian Pharaoh Costume. Our team of designers moonlighted as archeologists for months to put together this high-quality look of dark black and gleaming gold. The short-sleeve tunic falls beyond the knee and matches the inner lining of the gold and black-striped headpiece. Shiny black fabric makes up the collar, cuffs, and the belt, though it is the hieroglyphics printed on the belt that really sell the look! THE YOUNGEST PHARAOH YET!King Tut made ancient fame for having the nicest pyramid to date and being the youngest kiddo to rule. But, time for the crown to pass to an even younger generation with your toddler! This Pharaoh Costume is bound to get way more attention than some old 18th Dynasty fuddy-duddy!

You probably remember him from your history classes. You probably know the story about him chopping down a cherry tree and then truthfully admitting it to his father. That story might be more fiction than fact, but it’s certainly stuck in your head all of these years. Of course, your kid probably knows him more as the cool-guy-from-the-famous-Broadway-musical-about-Alexander-Hamilton.Well, whether your child is a U.S. history buff, a fan of Broadway musicals, or he just needs an authentic looking outfit for his next school play, then this George Washington costume for kids is definitely the way to go.Design & DetailsThis historical costume comes with everything your child needs to look like the one and only George Washington! The vest is a light gold color with branch and leaf designs. It also has shiny gold-tone buttons befitting a commander-in-chief. The jacket has matching gold designs along the edge of the coat. It also has gold epaulets on the shoulders, adding the commanding presence of this outfit. The pants are a light tan color with an elastic band in the waist for fitting. The ascot adds a dash of elegance and the colonial style hat polishes off the whole look. The final piece to the costume is the pair of boot covers, which fit over your child’s feet, so he can wear any pair of shoes he likes with this outfit!Take to the StageTurn your child into the spitting image of America’s most prominent historical figure with this George Washington costume. He’ll be ready to take to the stage to teach the world about U.S. history… perhaps with a little song and dance!

Disorder in the CourtDo you think you have what it takes to serve in a royal court? It sure sounds fancy, but life in court was never easy. You had to be careful with what you said, who you looked at, and what clothes you wore. If you made the mistake of wearing a fur that was nicer than the queen's furs, you could be sent away from court for good! On top of keeping track of courtesy codes, a successful lady in court had to remember the complicated steps of many dances. At least the royal court was comfortable, right? Not really! Castles were often rather chilly and often surprisingly crowded with lice and mice running amok through the fine royal trappings. Looking back, it's enough to make us glad for our less dramatic yet much more comfortable homes. Now, you can dress like a royal lady without having to deal with the disorder of court!Design & DetailsThis Made By Us emerald gown was designed by our in-house creative team.

A traveling enchantress? A bona fide princess? Bring your character to life with the right hat, jewelry, or props. For instance, a princess might wear a circlet while a lady in waiting might wear a crown of braids or flowers. In the meantime practice your curtseys. If you're going to make it in court, you'd better start practicing now!

An Electric IdeaThere are many mysteries in the world that simply demand being solved, and we get to be thankful that Ben Franklin was around to help in figuring out a pretty big chunk of them. Now, most know Ben for 'inventing' electricity. And, of course, he didn't create it... but he did come up with all the terms that we're still using today. Who else would have thought to combine the value of a lightning rod with the fun of flying kites and shocking yourself!? But, is that truly his ultimate offering to the world?Consider the shorter folks in the world. Who has the energy to grab a stepping stool every time that you want to get a book? "Nobody!" was the proud answer of our favorite founding father. He knew that folks would one day need a Selfie Stick and that short people everywhere deserved assistance with a longer arm. So, it was to the inventing desk for Ben! In honor of those inventions, our Made by Us team did the same for him. Design & DetailsHop back to the colonial days in the best way possible with this Benjamin Franklin costume. Our in-house team created this design to look authentic while still feeling comfy. (You wouldn't want too many stray fibers while trying out your electrifying experiments, after all.) The ensemble includes a jacket with decorative buttons and attached vest panels to imitate a layered look. The knee-length pants and neck scarf complete your colonial transformation. Add your favorite accessories to tell your favorite Franklin story. The Key to Halloween FunYou don't have to try to reinvent the lightning rod to stand out like Ben Franklin. With this colonial look, you can feel the same hair-raising energy as the legendary lightning bolt on the kite. Grab some bifocals and a balding wig and you're ready to discover the secrets of fun this season.
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!
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.
