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).
Time for Some Tea and Civilized Conversation"U up? Wyd?" Ugh, no thanks. Leave the texting era behind and go back to a time where the rules of civility were stylish and you could dress up as much as you like. It's not as though we want to get rid of indoor plumbing, air conditioning, and espresso machines, but it would be nice to be able to go to a ball - or more than one! - every season.

Everyone will definitely be calling you the most charming debutante at the gala!

Ready for the Tourney The duty of a squire is to ensure that their knight is always prepared for anything that they need. That means securing their armor when they are setting out, shining up their horse's shoes after a long day's work, and making sure that their weapons are always at the ready. Between all of the tournaments that a knight competes in and the occasional evil knight that they have to confront, it is critical that everything is ready to go. So, let us be your squire and get you ready to claim victory!Design & DetailsThe first step is making sure that you're ready to hoist this Medieval Lance.

No shrinking violetWhile some Disney heroines come from royal backgrounds, sing to birds, and live for a good ball, one of our favorite ladies from the world of Disney checks absolutely zero of those boxes. Her origin story stems from the underworld. She sold her soul to Hades to bring back her deceased boyfriend who then left her for another. That's a lot of flaws for a Disney heroine! But that's the thing, Megara makes mistakes. That's what makes her so likable. She looks at her world with an edge. And when a hero shows up looking to save her she lets him know that she's able to tie her own sandals, despite the hero's baby blues. And yeah, Megara gets elected to betray Hercules but in the end, she sacrifices herself to save him. That kind of courage is not the trait of a shrinking violet, despite the hue of her gorgeous dress. Product DetailsThis gown will make you feel like you're part of an epic adventure. The top is finely pleated with sheer, sparkly fabric. The neckline nods to Megara's Greek background with swirling medallions on each side. It has both an empire cut and a satin-textured sash in the middle, accenting your waist. The skirt is layered with sheer pleated sparkly fabric and a solid purple base. Top the whole look off with our Megara wig and you'll be ready to set off on your own epic adventure. You Tie Your Own SandalsWant to get in touch with your Disney heroine side with a sassy twist? Megara is a great choice to let your saucier side run free. So tighten your sandals and sharpen up your own comeback skills that you can throw out even when you're struggling to escape a monster's paw. Whether you're heading for Hades or a costume party, this costume will be a hit with Hercules fans, everywhere!
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!
You got to hand it to Hermes, this guy was made of quick stuff! He had wings on his helmet, he had wings on his shoes, he even had wings on his staff! This guy was made for speed. Because of his ability to fly fast and far, the gods of Olympus hired him on as living instant messenger between the gods and mortals. This fast fellow used all that responsibility he got to cause a lot of mischief on Olympus. Lucky for him he was quick on his feet and rarely got into a bind he couldn't get out of. Who wouldn't want the ability to cause mischief and escape the consequences? Although, some of us probably have younger siblings that have somehow acquired that ability. If you want to be a Greek God this Halloween or for a future toga party, this winged makes for an instantly recognizable character. You'll have so much fun, the night will fly by!
Your Hour of PowerIt seems like there was a god or goddess for everything back in the day. Romans and Greeks had goddesses that made sure that plants and gardens were healthy. They believed in a messenger goddess that would paint rainbows in the sky. and let's never forget the handful of goddesses and gods that were involved in hunting and warfare. If you were a Greek Goddess, what would be your area of expertise? Would you be the goddess of inspiring women to seek passive-aggressive yet genius revenge on cheating exes? Maybe you'd be the guardian of Friday nights, inspiring young couples to go on an adventurous bike ride rather than zoning out in front of the tv for the sixth night in a row. Now that we're writing this, we need those old-school gods and goddesses in our modern era! Take the reigns with this gorgeous exclusively designed Grecian gown. Product Details & DesignThis lightweight gown is Made-by-Us so you can be sure that your costume is both unique and durable.

A Place in the starsIf there was a goddess that helped the lonely hearts of this world build the perfect dating profile, we'd name a constellation after her in a minute! We need some serious help from deities these days. Take the power and take your place in Olympia at your next Halloween party. And hey, when you're out there bestowing blessings on the mere mortals of the world, we clued you into this gorgeous look. So yeah, bless us too, please!
A NORDIC EXCALIBURAll mighty heroes of legends come along with their mighty implement that matches their namesake. Merlin and Arthur had their mighty blade, pulled from the stone that sang as it slashed their way into the history books.

Ready for Anything The life of a gladiator is the definition of "rough and rugged." You never know what today's fight will bring you. Will you be pitted against a hungry lion with only a mace for protection? Will it be a battle to the death with several ultimate champions and only one knife between you?

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.

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!
HEIR TO THE NORTHRuling an entire realm of Vikings is... complicated. Even when you have a Seer who is telling you what is going to end up happening, well, they tend to just tell you cryptic things about when you're going to die, so it isn't exactly always helpful. That is why, sometimes, it is better to be the firstborn of the ruler, instead. It gives you plenty of time to watch your father wield his axe and all that authority. Definitely gives you something to emulate!And, best yet, it gives you a clear idea of what you need to avoid when it is your turn to take leadership over the clan. From there, you can go around and finish off the things left incomplete. You can address all those old betrayals and bring vengeance down on those who brought the end to your father's legacy. From there? Well, we recommend that you maybe move forward with less obsession about allowing your fate to happen. Make your own fate! DESIGN & DETAILSWell, we're getting ahead of ourselves. Start off your earlier life with this officially licensed Bjorn Ironside Costume from Vikings. This exclusive look was crafted by our own Made By Us costume team in partnership with History Channel. It comes with a long-sleeved tunic that has quilted padding on the lower portion of the sleeves. The vest has faux leather, metal studs, and appliqued braided trim that gives it an authentic armored look. You also get a pair of pants and a faux leather belt but, let's face it, you're here for that realistic faux armor style. And that's why we made it!THE ONGOING DESTINYRagnar might give himself fully to the fate decreed by the Seer, but Bjorn isn't afraid to stir things up. Explore all the strange lands you desire and know that you're going to inspire your own kind of tales when you get this Bjorn costume for men and wield your mighty axe!
The War Between the StatesLand's sakes, whatever is next? We've only just freed ourselves from England's tyranny and now we're going back to war -with each other! What a mess. At least the styles of the times are absolutely lovely. We have to use a little ingenuity to dress up to the nines in the middle of a civil war, but we're up to the task. One enterprising gal even whipped up a gown from a pair of curtains. She's a little sketchy, though, so we don't go to her much for fashion advice. Product DetailsAre you a Yankee heartbreaker or a Southern belle? The choice is yours when you wear this Women's Civil War Dress Costume! The floor-length dress is made of pink calico fabric printed with a delicate pattern of tiny flowers. A dainty lace collar adds an old-fashioned feel, as do the decorative buttons that march down the front of the bodice. The attached pink ribbon sash matches the three bands of decorative ribbon that circle the bottom of the skirt and the pink ribbon trim on the sleeve's cuffs. The full skirt gets extra body thanks to the included petticoat - no uncomfortable hoopskirt necessary! Civil War Style Whether you're churning butter, spying for the North, or about to run away from home to join the infantry division near you, you're going to need a great everyday dress - trust us! This costume is perfect for a historical reenactment and it also makes a pretty and unique outfit to wear to your next Halloween party.
Is your child a historian in training? How many civil war generals can he name? Has he begged you to go to the famous civil war sites like Gettysburg and Antietam? Have you ever considered enrolling him in Civil War reenactment? There is a lot of pride in remembering the brutal Civil War of 1861-1865. The people who fought so hard to keep our country together and emancipate the enslaved population should always be remembered. Brainy kids tend to be interested in the Civil War. Anything can start a fascination with this complicated part in history. Maybe your child saw or read a version of The Red Badge of Courage. Maybe it started with a love of Abraham Lincoln and expanded from there, it happens to a lot of people. One day you're trying on a top hat and beard, learning the Gettysburg address. The next day you want to know where Gettysburg is, what happened there, and why. Once your kid has an interest, how do you support him? This costume would work great to dress up for speech as Officer James Thomas kirk if your child has a school project. The double breasted button jacket and striped pant would help your child feel in character at a civil war reenactment, either as a drummer boy or a soldier. Just choose the hat that goes with the rank your child wants to assume. Maybe your kid has visions of a dignified Halloween costume or a special outfit for the 4th of July parade planned. Whatever this uniform is for, your history enthusiast is sure to make our boys in blue proud.

Hello Spartans! No ancient warrior is safe when a Spartan soldier is around, and neither is their empire! Many city-states underestimated the power of the Spartan army and they paid dearly for it with the lives of their own soldiers and their cities. Bummer, yeah?Nah, not when you become one of them!

Stone Cold LegendMedusa gets a bad rap. Yes, her head of snakes turns men into stone with one look. But can we revisit why she kept on running into guys again? She wasn't hunting down innocent men in bookstores. Imagine her laughing after she pulled a "Made you look" and left a clutch of bookish granite statues behind. That's a pretty funny image, but it wasn't her style. She tried to stay far, far away from all humanity. Those Greek soldiers just couldn't leave a cursed demi-goddess alone when she created a challenge fit for a hero. So, yeah. There were casualties. But we would argue that if you go hunting for a head of snakes, you shouldn't go crying blaming a demi-goddess when you turn into a blob of rock!Design & DetailsWear your crown of snakes with pride when you slip on this Medusa headband. The snakes are adjustable with a shiny scale pattern on the surface. The gold eyes and forked tongues will make your hairdo look like a living legend. Want to fully transform into your Medusa form?

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.
Have you noticed your son holding a lot of sway in your household lately? We don't know when that secret election happened either but it seems like your little one's persuasive speeches (aka: bad puppy eye skills) have been influencing the laws of your household. For instance, you hardly even noticed that the law about not having snack in the living room had been overturned until months later when the crumbs and jelly stains began to accumulate. Well, that's politics for you! What mandates will your little man be supporting in the next senate session? The allowance tax is likely to be passed, as is the bedtime ban. If we were in your shoes we'd keep watch over the freezer. It's likely that your little one will lift the embargo on that ice cream. If this type of free trade happens you're likely to open the freezer and find some plastic dinosaurs in place of those ice cream sandwiches that you were hoarding for your chocolate emergency needs. While it's important to keep up an open dialogue with your senator you can't help but feel proud of your witty kid's persuasive skills. For his next costumed event, you might as well celebrate his political success! He'll feel official as the original version of a senator. In a toga and gold laurel headband he might even be inspired to support fairer laws. Maybe the noble sheath of red with the gold lion medallion will influence him in those harsh ice cream trade agreements. From now on you'll get two T-rex figures for one ice cream bar, that's got to be fair, right? Hey, render onto Caeser what outa be Caeser's!
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!
Hear ye, hear ye! Everyone in the kingdom is invited to attend the spring faire, where knights mingle with shopkeepers and jugglers entertain ladies in waiting. Try one of the delicious fruit pies for sale, or browse merchants’ wares to find the perfect present for your lady love. If you’re more daring, you can enter one of the jousting tournaments. Or, perhaps you’d rather laugh along with the hilarious court jester as he makes a fool out of the king himself. For one day, everyone across the kingdom is equal. Anyone can win the jousting pendant. Anyone can catch the king’s eye. And anyone can be crowned Queen of the Faire.That’s where your little girl comes in. She’s already a princess in your eyes, and you just know she’ll win the judges’ favor with her beauty and sweet charm. Of course, the right outfit doesn’t hurt. So help her along with this Toddler Renaissance Maiden Costume, which comes with a beautifully patterned outer layer (easily fastened with the aid of Hook and Loop fastener) and a comfortable cotton under layer. Puffed sleeves and a matching ruffled petticoat offer an extra layer of cuteness, while the black criss-cross on the front adds to the costume’s authenticity.If your little princess doesn’t win the crown while wearing the Toddler Renaissance Maiden Costume, you’ll know the contest was rigged. But it won’t really matter—she’ll still feel like a princess. And she’ll be able to feel that way whenever she wears this costume, whether she’s hosting a tea party for her stuffed animals or taking a much needed nap.

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.
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!
If you think it's unlikely that your child is going to be a politician, think again. It's surprising how many of our children have those personality traits that we often see in our senators and congresspeople. They might not have access to designer suits and fancy watches and let's forget those private jets but when it comes to getting more cookies you think that you just might have a pretty good negotiator on your hands. First, have you ever noticed how rapidly your child flip-flops? One day your kid is ready to set up a ban on all vegetables and the next week you notice that all those snap peas you bought have indeed been snapped up, is that why they call them snap peas? Also, he's always making promises he can't keep. Sure, he might have every intention of actually picking up his toys the next day but how could he know an important council of video gamers meeting would be called? Really, there was nothing he could do. So, maybe he doesn't actually have a political bone in his body or maybe it'll only be a couple of years before he's running for comptroller, either way, let him dip his toes into the ancient political waters with this Roman senator costume. He just might figure out how political his mind is the first time he proclaims, "Lend me your ears!" Even if that statement ends with him being pummeled with fake ears, it might clear up a few things for him. This toga with a red accent panel and golden laurel wreath will make a pretty great throwback photo for his first political campaign or that gyro restaurant he opens in ten years, either way.
Ancient KittyOf all the animal kingdoms animals, Mother Nature bestowed the felines with some serious regality; it’s just no wonder the Egyptians deduced that cats were connected to a higher power. Cats do what they want, when they want, and they do it with confidence. It doesn’t matter where a cat is hanging out, or what time of day it is. Give a cat access to YouTube HQ and it would delete everyone’s videos before knocking the CEO’s pen off the desk. We like to imagine the cats of the Nile getting tangled up in the mummifying gauze and looking up at the dignified priests like, “what are you going to do about it?”Design & DetailsChanneling this energy, the feline goddess Bastet owned every room she entered. She was, in other words, a boss. She ensured the mothers of Egypt were taken care of with watchful eyes. She made sure the rodents of Egypt didn’t eat the spoils of the fertile crescent. In some circles, she even got the impressive, war-like title of protector of Egypt. We like to think that all cat-lovers have Bastet inside them somewhere. We know your little one does too. So if you want to let her sharpen those claws, our Bastet Goddess Costume for Girls will be perfect for her. It’s one of our exclusive Made By Us collection, so you can sleep well knowing that love and care went into every stitch of your little one’s new costume.Walk Like an Egyptian CatIt’s about time we put imbue cats with the respect they once had (and deserve)! No more embarrassing cats with YouTube videos of them getting caught in blinds or bouncing off walls after getting their fill of catnip. Bastet—erm, we mean your little one in this Bastet costume—will set it right.

The biggest problem with ruling over a country isn’t the constant threat of betrayal and almost certain early death by assassination—often including truly unusual ways of bringing it about. We admit that dealing with murder plots isn’t a great aspect of the job description, but it at least makes for an eternal story for your subjects and enthusiasts hundreds of years later. The real trouble is the weight of those insane crowns! The divine clerics always insist on bulky gold and the thing gets bigger every generation! There must be a more elegant way to rule…Of course, if we look back through history, it isn’t at all hard to land on the one ruler who had style and grace above all: the lovely Cleopatra. You can wield her charm in your rule with her Cleopatra Beaded Snake Headband. This luxurious headpiece is embroidered with bright golden beads that captivate the beauty and exotic nature of the Nile, all while featuring the deadly intrigue of the serpent. You can trust that all will bow to your majesty in this exquisite crown that won’t make you feel like bowing! Just make sure you keep your trust in your own look and watch out for asps of a different color!

Fashion on the MountGods and goddesses on Mount Olympus are always well dressed. Fine linens, laurel leaves dipped in gold, and so many wrap arm bands. It makes sense that deities would want to look fabulous. They're always making questionable choices so they have to look good to really get away with it. Look at Zeus.

Prehistoric PartyWe’ve come a long way from the prehistoric era when the first cave people roamed the wilds. They were busy hunting Wooley mammoths, learning to cook with fire, and painting beautiful depictions of, well, their hunts in the Lascaux caves of France. In just a slight contrast, we bide our time by curating our social media feeds and ordering burritos to our living room via an app. I suppose we can’t look down on our primitive ancestors for being so primitive, though.

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!
Nowadays when you see a three-cornered hat with a pointed front and a feather attached, the first thing that springs to mind is Robin Hood. It’s actually kind of ironic that this style of hat is associated with fiction’s greatest champion of the poor, considering that it was originally something of a symbol of high status. Known as a “bycocket” hat, it was a popular style with both royal men and women back in the day, partly because it was an easy style to decorate with jewels and other flashy touches that let the poor folks know just where you stood.Leave it to Robin Hood to not only steal his wealthy neighbors’ money and wound their pride, but also bite their style. That is some next-level socially conscious thievery right there. You can keep the rebel spirit of Robin Hood alive in this tall, pointed bycocket hat. Made with a poly/cotton blend, this jaunty number is fully adjustable and features crisscross lacing up the front and a pair of buttons at the back. It’s the perfect topper for any Robin Hood ensemble, and it’s even better if you can get yourself invited to some super swanky costume party. Your hosts will never suspect that even your headwear is mocking them.
Mixed MotivationsIf you had lived in Europe in the wide range of years from 1095 to 1492, you probably would have known a man or two who had joined in a crusading movement. It was a popular choice for many reasons. For one, if you were a serf, you legally belonged to your lord. The pope promised that serfs that joined in the fight would be given freedom on their return. Soldiers also joined to see the world, get land, gain wealth, and have their sins wiped clean. Like all other ventures, every individual had their own reasons for joining. Now that the crusades have been over for more than 600 years, the little crusader in your life can choose their very own mission. Are they crusading to fight for freedom from an early curfew? Or perhaps they're campaigning for a trip to an indoor water park this winter. Like the actual crusades, every soldier is in it for a different reason. Whatever your child's motivations might be, the mission is sure to be more successful if they're dressed for success!Design & DetailsYour child will feel like they're ready for anything when they slip into this Made by Us crusader costume. The costume has a tunic at the base and with silver sequins that make up a chain mail look and texture. Your child is sure to be excited about the "shining armor" look. A red cross tabard is draped over the tunic and the hood is draped over the neck, looking awesome whether it's worn up around the head or down. The look is topped off with details like the draping belt and faux leather gloves. A Sharp LookKid's will be jumping with excitement when they know this costume is coming in the mail. Make sure they're ready to wear this costume as soon as it's out of the package by adding on a sword and shield and pairing it with leggings and boots. We'd say this costume will conquer this Halloween with ease!
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!
Don't Take that Throne with ME!Cleopatra might have born royal but she had to struggle to rule. First, it was her little brother that tried to take the throne. Then it was her other little brother. Because of her ambition, she was tossed out of the capital city. Tough stuff. This might have stopped someone less intense. But Cleopatra is an icon for a reason! The down and out queen had her servants roll her up in a carpet and sneak her into the capital's palace when Rome's king was visiting. When she was unfurled, her fearless nature, witty way of speaking, and relentless charm were enough. She was an obvious leader. She convinced Rome's king to back her up in her bid for the throne. With moves like this, there was no doubt that Cleopatra earned her crown!Design & DetailsWe love making our historical costumes extra fun, fashionable, and comfortable. That's why our Made by Us Cleopatra crown is made with comfortable foam while featuring plenty of sparkle in the gemstones and sequin trimmed centerpiece. The crown is trimmed with beads the echo Cleopatra's signature hairstyle so you can be sure people will recognize your iconic character as soon as you enter the room!
