Looking for more of a historical style this Halloween? More specifically, are you hoping to properly portray the women of the colonial period? Well, no woman would be seen walking about the settlements of Plymouth or New Amsterdam without a bonnet atop their heads, so you shouldn't be seen at your next costume gathering without one either. Once you find the perfect colonial dress, we have the perfect Colonial Mob Hat for you to add to your outfit for the finishing touch. This white linen bonnet will perfectly resemble the informal style of women in the rural and country areas which, back in the colonial period, may have been pretty close to just about everywhere. The simplicity of the accessory is its greatest strength. Like a fluffy white cloud, it will sit right on your head with no need for adjustments. The lovely, yet still quite simple, lace trim encircling the cap adds a hint of fashion without being too flashy about it. So, give everyone at your next costume party a humble lesson in history when you add this Mob Hat to your Colonial outfit!
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!
Lessons From Robin HoodSteal from the rich and give to the poor can be a useful lesson to teach your kids – though you may want to tweak it a bit so they aren’t actually stealing from anyone! Kids are already quite apt to live this mantra by nature – most kids are caring and can see inequities much better than their adult counterparts.But being Robin Hood isn’t all about work – he liked adventure just as much as the next person, probably much more, actually. Getting out and about in the forest and making new friends was something Robin Hood was quite skilled at. After all, they called his band "Merry Men" for good reason!Product DetailsTurn your child into the prince of thieves and the savior of Nottingham in this Kids Robin Hood Costume. This kids costume comes with an olive green hooded shirt and vest combo that has long sleeves and a front placket with brown cord for lacing. The brown suede vest panels fast at the front with three faux leather buckled straps. The details are what truly make this costume stand out: from the matching faux suede gauntlets with padded forearm guards (you know, for all of the arrow shooting), to the matching cuffed boot covers and the pouch that attaches to the black faux leather belt with hook and loop fasteners. The details really bring this costume to life!Halloween EssentialsThis Robin Hood Costume will be a great choice for Halloween fun or for dress-up play. Add a bow and arrow set for the legendary archer (sold separately) and your little adventurer will be ready to lead his merry men against the evil Sheriff of Nottingham!
Simple SolutionYour gal told you in no uncertain terms that for Halloween, she wants her costume to take her back to simpler times. So you got her a retro 50s poodle skirt costume. "No, simpler than that!" she responded. So you brought her home a fabulous roaring 20s flapper frock! "Warmer, but I mean even simpler than that, too!" she responded.Gather up this Girl's Prairie Pioneer Costume, and your historically-minded little miss can enjoy getting back (way back!) to nature with the feel of the open trail beneath her freshly cobbled boots. Not only that, but everything about this costume screams rugged adventure, one with danger, bravery, determination, skill, and good ole' fashioned campfires, trail songs, and yes, a few rivers to ford along the way. You can dress the whole family up as a wagon-full of hopeful pioneers, or she can navigate the neighborhood on her own this Halloween, hunting for the best sustenance (read: candy) while you all tend the fire and oxen back at camp. Here's hoping she collects enough to keep you all going until you make it to the next trading post!Design & DetailsJust look at the detail on this Girl's Pioneer Costume—they just don't make 'em like this anymore. Except...we do! We did! The exclusive dress features long sleeves to keep the night chill off her, as well as a long, muted calico skirt with a ruffled hem. There is a rose-colored bow at the collar and a ruffle down the center of the bodice. A simple apron makes this look appropriately utilitarian, while the calico bonnet will keep her braids in place even during the windiest of travel days.Little TrailblazerThis costume makes for a unique appearance on Halloween, but your girl has always blazed her own path! Her grit, determination, and optimism would have been a perfect fit for the pioneering days—maybe that's why she can't wait to relive them!
Fierce and FearlessThe Prehistoric era was a tough time - or so we've been told, anyway. The cave people were busy from the crack of dawn till the last light of sunset with hunting saber-tooth tigers, gathering berries, and figuring out how to invent the wheel and the fire (raw saber-tooth tiger meat is pretty gross). They needed courageous girls to help them explore on the backs of their pet pterodactyls and be all kinds of awesome! Product DetailsYou'll look ready for a Pangaea-sized adventure when you wear this exclusive Prehistoric Cave Girl's Costume! The outfit includes a one-shouldered romper made of soft, leopard-print minky fabric with a cord waist tie. It's embellished with jagged brown trim along the neckline that mirrors the skirt's zig-zag hem. The brown faux suede leg warmers have criss-crossed decorative ties and the matching faux suede gauntlets slide easily onto each arm. Top it all off with the hair clip that's attached to a fiber-filled felt bone! Cave CutieBack in ye very olden days, there were no cell phones, TV shows, indoor plumbing fixtures, or chocolate, which would have been sad. On the other hand, there was no homework either, and probably no Brussels sprouts yet. Nobody knew yet that eating your vegetables was better for you than eating sugar. This Halloween, think like a cave girl and collect as much candy as you can! You can eat it next to the fire inside your cave while you paint amazing pictures on the walls for archeologists to find and marvel over. Or did cave kids get into trouble for drawing on the walls of their rooms?
Blue Skies AheadWomen and girls on the prairie faced a lot of adventures. They herded the cows in from the field when dark storm clouds threatened from the horizon. They would help wash the family's laundry in rushing streams and freezing cold mountain lake water. They'd gather firewood, help mend fences, and run through prairie grasses with their dogs yapping at their heels.Through all those adventures, one character was ever-present, the big sky above! The elements of the prairie were always intense, the sun shining strong without a tree to rest under in sight. No wonder the sunbonnet was such a staple of the western wardrobe!Design & DetailsThis lovely little sunbonnet will help you pretend that you just stepped into the adventurous past. The fabric has a gorgeous pattern of pink and blue flowers with lovely little green leaves. The brim will shade your face to keep you comfortable even while the sun is shining bright in the big sky. A bow can be tied behind the neck or under the chin, depending on your preference, making it a perfect addition for any woman or child on the prairie!Westward Ho!Have you ever dreamed of heading west in a wild-covered wagon adventure? Pair this bonnet with a prairie dress and some good walking boots and you'll be ready to head west... at least in your imagination!
WHICH WENCH IS THE WITCH!?It's hardly a kind sounding word: wench. Very few sentences out there make it feel much better, either. But, that's what time does to some words. Back in the Middle Ages, wench (for the most part) just talked about a young woman... though they were usually of the servant caste. That, of course, means that not many of the folks with power or the then wealthy academics had a whole lot of great things to say about them. So, there went that word... But, the fun of jumping back to the Renaissance is being able to reinvent what happened and fill the tales with some new storytellers. Perhaps this servant girl in the tavern is no mere want-to-be cinder girl. Perhaps she's secretly the hero of the tale. Perhaps she's been toying with some new magical tricks and is just about ready to unleash a potion that will bring those haughty nobles to their knees and turn the tavern tables right around on them! Mwahahaha!DESIGN & DETAILSIt's time to show the whole Renaissance world who truly controls the realm! (It's the gal who determines who gets to drink, naturally.) Our designers have poured their heart into this authentic and high-quality look so you can fill the role of the Lass of the Tavern with this costume. You've got all the details that you need to really feel like you own the inn thanks to the ruffled arms and peasant cut of the shirt, the textured trim and metal buckles on the vest, and the long, two-layered skirt featuring a ruched hip-high tie. How you accessorize will finish the flavor of the character you create! EVERY TALE NEEDS A TAVERNNo matter what story we're being told or telling to an audience, there's always a place to put up your feet. It might start at the tavern or have them show up at the inn but, either way, you'll be there to make this tale terrific thanks to this Tavern Woman Costume!
Don’t Cross HerA lot of people have at least heard of Florence Nightingale. She is one of the most famous women of all time, and for sure the best-known nurse that there is. Pioneering better hygiene and living standards for patients is something that we can all thank her for, as well as the many other good practices she pushed for in her lifetime.What a lot of people don’t know is that she had quite the temper, too! She used to sneak up on her staff and yell at them if they were caught slacking, which is why everyone banded together and suggested that she wear a bright red cross at all times. That way, at least, they would be able to see her coming!Product DetailsDeciding to dress up as one of the most iconic heroines of all of history is a great idea, so it is a good thing you found this Women's Plus Size Florence Nightingale Costume! This “Made By Us” costume was put together by our hard working and careful artisans, so you will feel good about wearing this for years to come. The included dress, arm band, apron, and hat are enough to turn any medical ignoramus into the best nurse that ever lived. The stylish long, black dress and white, frilled apron are very flattering, and the arm band is a big plus as well. The hat is classic and has a lot of vintage style that we are sure you will appreciate, too!Feeling BetterIf you are looking for the best costume to make you feel like the best dressed every day, then this Women's Plus Size Florence Nightingale Costume is the one for you. This costume will have you feeling better in no time, almost like Florence Nightingale herself is caring for you!
We can only imagine what the world would be like if steam power had turned out to be the last word in transportation and energy production. Which is good, because we really want to believe it would be just like all those steampunk novels we've read, in which a cunning heroine uses her engineering skills and mechanical-mindedness to create a clever new invention that saves the world from certain doom. Come to think of it, that's a pretty specific vision for the way things might have someday been. But at least it sounds stylish and full of adventure, even in the present day! Of course, real-life technology has been drifting away from smokestacks, paddle wheels, gears, and sprockets for some time, now. So to truly live the dream of an intrepid tinkerer, a girl is going to need a top-of-the-line time machine, and possibly an advanced degree in applied science. Or she could just do what most people do when they're nostalgic for the retro-future: put on a great-looking costume like this one!This kids costume combines a modified Victorian-era dress with some essential steampunk touches, like machined details and a pair of geartooth goggles. Layering the functional look of leather straps atop the frills of high fashion, this outfit makes for a unique look that's well-suited to any kind of brainstorm session or gizmo-seeking excursion. Once she's all suited up, we're sure she'll feel more than ready to put her skills to the test!
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.
We like to follow the theory that the Victorian Industrial Revolution somehow split off into two different worlds. There's the world that turned into what we live in and there is one that turns into the world of steampunk. We dream of going there because who wouldn't want to become an adventurer in that gear freak world of a science fiction old fashion? Every once in a while we decide to dress up like we were there (usually on Wednesdays). Now we'd like to expand the tradition. Add an elegant touch to your Halloween costume with this Women's Cameo Steampunk Set complete with a choker adorned with white lace and earrings. This will be sure to identify you immediately as true steampunk aristocracy. If you feel like going back in time instead of forward, this set would also be great for a traditional costume of the time period that inspires the mystical world of whimsy.
Hitch your wagons!Did you grow up reading the “Little House on the Prairie” books and dreaming about living in your very own sod house? Maybe you wistfully imagined milking cows before dawn and churning cream for 20 minutes straight to make your own butter. Maybe you longed to have the chance to spend the whole day doing laundry at the nearby river, or live in an underground home with a dirt floor and plenty of critters crawling underfoot.Or maybe your dreams ranged farther west, toward that great American journey: the Oregon Trail. Do you bitterly regret missing the romance of walking fifteen miles a day alongside your covered wagon, rubbing axle grease on your lips to prevent blisters and taking Epsom salts to try to cure your excruciating dysentery? Do you feel like nothing in modern day can compare to the thrill of collecting buffalo chips for the evening fire? Do you long for a daily food menu that’s primarily cornmeal and lard? Truly, you were born in the wrong century!Product detailsWe can’t transport you to the glorious 1840s, but we can at least help you feel like you’re there with this Women's Westward Pioneer Costume. The exclusive costume is 100 percent polyester, which we admit wasn’t invented until about 100 years after the Oregon Trail period, but it still looks authentic, and honestly, it’s a lot more comfortable. The long-sleeved shirt features a collar, buttons down the front and trim along the front and sleeve cuffs, as well as a zipper on the back for easy wear. The floor-length brown skirt also has a zipper in the back for the same reason.Westward, ho!With this costume, all you’ll need is a covered wagon, six oxen and about 50 pounds of lard, and you’ll be all set for your very own Oregon Trail adventure!
To the Tavern!Back in a more civilized era of bar-hopping... when bars weren't called "bars" but taverns and inns, and they were filled with the sounds of mirthful merry-making and slurred folk songs as opposed to deafening EDM beats... men dressed just like this fine fellow you see above. They wore fine velvet tunics and doublets, billowy long-sleeved shirts, and comfortable but handsome breeches (that's renaissance-speak for pants). This iconic, historic look is exactly what you'll get in our Medieval Tavern Man Costume!Made by us, this fine renaissance-era getup is perfect for any medieval outing, masquerade, or heck, just a trip to the good old neighborhood pub. And it's a surefire way to look absolutely right at home lifting a goblet of ale at the next ren fair. When you're wearing this outfit, the entire village will know that you're down to do some serious medieval partying!Design & DetailsBut behind the scenes is important, too, right? That's why this suit is both comfortable and easy to wear. The doublet has the classic "laced up the front" look without all the bother and hassle, and the pants have an elastic waist that assures you won't have to worry about wardrobe while you're out carousing. And you won't have to concern yourself with buying that billowy, long-sleeved shirt we mentioned earlier. The doublet comes with attached long sleeves that have elastic cuffs. The Medieval Tavern Man Costume truly has it all for renaissance merry-makers. Just don't forget to have a look around at our boots, wigs, and other medieval accessories!
ANCIENT HISTORY OF COMFORTWhy do we love the toga? Well, there is a perfectly simple explanation to the question of why togas are some of the best party attire and most beloved of Halloween costumes. Our ancient Roman ancestors had the right idea when they decided to start the tradition of wearing togas to formal events or parties. They are the most comfortable, stylish, and trendiest form of party garb, and they are so easy!When you have an important event to join, you cannot waste a bunch of time trying to piece together the perfect layered look. And, if you're going to need to participate in a particularly rumpus affair—whether it is an important early-spring date with Caesar or a group outing—you can't be bogged down by all of that constricting clothing! If you have to hang out with a whole arena full of senators to debate everything from the bucellarii to the vigintiviri—there really aren't that many cool-sounding ancient Roman A- or Z-words—what's the answer? Toga! Toga! PRODUCT DETAILSThis Toga costume is a sleeveless pullover robe with a V-neckline, so you don’t have to deal with the hassle of tying a real toga. (Trust us; that is a real pain in the podux!) The sash is draped over the shoulder and sewn, keeping your toga perfectly placed all night, with little risk of it accidentally coming unraveled. You don’t want to show off your Lupa themed underwear now do you? This costume is made from a 100% polyester interlock knit fabric, keeping you clean and dry throughout the night’s adventures.COMPLETE THE LOOKOnce you've got your epic attire, it is time to refine the look. Will go to the route of the Deity with golden laurels and winged sandals? Perhaps a mighty sword to become the army's general? Or will it be a hidden knife so you can hear the astonished words, "Et tu, Brute!?"
You snow nothing…You’ve never told anyone of the crime you committed to be sent all the way to farthest Northern point of the civilized world. All round you are murderers, bandits, pirates, slavers, assassins, patricides, and worse, but despite years of asking, you have never told anyone of your sordid past. Still, as you awaken in the keep, drenched in sweat, the memory plays itself again before your minds eye…You are six years old, walking through the garden. The Queen Regent and your lady mother converse softly in a far corner, guarded by two faithful soldiers. Having been bid to make yourself scarce while the adults talk, you naturally found your way over to the bird bath where you slopped water onto the ground to make mud pies. Well-soiled, you quickly became bored and decided to play hide and seek by yourself. Quickly you determined that was very boring, so for the last one minute you have been very sneakily drawing closer to the conversing ladies. You know what must be done. You burst through the flowery hedges and jump on the back of the queen!“Tag,” you shout, as you roughly roll down to the ground. You attempt to flee the scene, but are grabbed neatly by the nearest soldier, who drags you before the Queen. Her beautiful peacock gown has been completely ruined byyour muddy maneuvers.“Off to the North with you,” she commands, as your mother looks on sternly from behind her. “There is no place here for barbaric children like you!”Product DetailsNothing says Lady-Commander of the North like this sexy yet practical ensemble. This exclusive costume comes with a black-as-night velvet cape with long-pile faux fur around the collar. Nothing says hardship in the freezing North like locally-sourced, eco-friendly, and animal free long-pile faux fur! The belt will cinch nicely around your waist with a flashy and stylish silver-tone metal buckle. The dress and belt are both made from 100 percent polyurethane faux leather, which is of course the height of fashion and practicality in the far North. The off-center front zipper on the dress allows easy donning of the armor when the battle horn blows, while maintaining the rakish and non-conformist look that the Lady-Commander of the North often goes for.Lady-Commander Jane SnowAlthough you are the worst of the worst and you know that you have no chance of ever being rehabilitated into a productive member of the civilized world, at least you can be certain that you are the best-dressed Lady-Commander that the North has ever seen! In this Women’s Snow King Costume, you will never have to doubt your standing among the worst ruffians, or the sexiest Lady-Commanders.
Comeback QueenHere's the difference between princesses and queens. Princesses are given their title, queens have to fight for theirs. And as fighting for the throne goes, Cleopatra's story stands out loud and proud. In the beginning, she was pushed from the throne. Banned from her own land. Did she let that stop her? No! When Caeser was staying in an Egyptian palace, Cleopatra had her servants roll her into a carpet. Then they casually carried her into the palace (we like to imagine them whistling like they do in cartoons). As soon as they unfurled their lovely monarch in front of Caeser he fell head over heels and she made a bid for the throne. It wasn't long before she was ruling again. If that's not a power play, we don't know what is!Details & DesignWe're sure the Egyptian queen would stamp her seal of approval on this Made by Us Cleopatra costume! Our designers created this piece in a nod to the Egyptian style that was popular for the country's hot climate. The unique look features a white bodysuit under a sheer flowing gown with subtle gold stripes. The gown is accented with a stunning gold collar and belt, beaded for ultimate shimmer power. With sheer layers, sparkling gold, and a flattering cut, this costume will be a legendary ensemble at any costumed event.Ultimate Look, No De-NileCleopatra really knew how to make an entrance. She was never afraid to shine! When you're dressing as this legendary queen, take a leaf out of her book. Finish off this look with golden accessories like bangles, sandals, and makeup. Crown yourself with your favorite Cleopatra wig from our collection. When you're looking this royal, you don't even have to roll yourself in a carpet to make a stunning entrance!
Kids always think that they are invulnerable and that can make for a pretty intimidating life for those of us who are obliged to keep them from suffering any lasting harm. Now, many of us are alright with the idea that they’ll head out and scuff a knee or even get a bit of a black lip in the midst of their play. It builds up a bit of an immune system and also helps to teach them some practical lessons about personal safety while also letting them actually live out their lives. Still, there are limits to what we’re willing to let them expose themselves towards!So, when we noticed that there was a rather boisterous knight hanging around the neighborhood, offering to duel a bunch of the residents in order to gain passage down the sidewalk, alley, or once even to get inside the bagel shoppe, we had a few concerns. Fortunately, the knight wasn’t too much of a struggle to defeat… excepting that he just kept coming back and seemed to suffer no pause from any damage that he suffered. It immediately made us all realize that this guy was going to teach our tykes that they were truly immortal… even if it meant losing a couple limbs! Flesh wound, our butts!So, we are getting ahead of this fiasco by giving you the opportunity to educate your tykes on the amazing Black Knight yourselves. This costume is a complete and near historic armor set including a foam fronted shirt with a silver mesh collar and sleeves to imitate chain mail and a foam helmet that fastens by Hook and Loop fastener and covers the whole head. The foam armaments continue, including gauntlets, boot tops, knee guards, and the face grille can optionally cover the face or be left open. A bright red cape finishes off the look, though you can accessorize with a weapon and shield for the full package. With all this armor, your tyke will be truly protected, though we still recommend avoiding blocking the paths of certain kings.
Queen of the NileYou weren't just another monarch. You were a legend, in every sense of the word! Rising to power in a man's empire, you held onto your throne while captivating the interests and ensuring the loyalty of your fellow rulers. You assembled a glittering court, showed magnificent style, and met adversary on your own terms. No wonder the history books remember you as a gorgeous, dangerous figure! Product DetailsMake way for the queen! This Plus Size Exquisite Cleopatra Costume for Women will have you feeling like the royalty you are at heart. The exclusive sleeveless gown is made of a flattering blend of polyester and spandex to accent your regal beauty. Its long skirt features two dramatic thigh-high side slits to show off your elegant legs. The stunning V-neckline is trimmed with gold sequins. Because you can never have too much glitz and glamour when you're a queen, the golden geometric-patterned belt is finished with a shiny metallic front drape. (The drape is also embellished with your royal symbol so that your subjects know when to kneel.) A gorgeous gold collar made of metallic gold faux leather fastens at the back of your neck and is trimmed with geometric black and gold ribbon to match your belt. Ancient Glamour Beware, Roman dictators and would-be conquerors! You'll never best Egypt's feisty queen - or be able to dress better! Treat yourself to an unforgettable costume this year. Your next Halloween will be legendary enough to be painted inside a pyramid!
What a Novel IdeaSmall talk can be so boring. What's the weather been up to? How's work? Do you think that paint that we're watching on the wall is dry yet? It's time we went back to a time when making conversation was an art. A time when you couldn't quite come out with your true opinions but you could certainly waltz around any subject you liked for an hour or two in the drawing room. A time when Jane Austen was a master at crafting stories around human interactions!Details & Design Want to look right at home strolling through an English garden while contemplating a new composition for your novel? Our exclusive Jane Austen costume will make you feel like a 19th century novelist in an instant. This costume includes a long dress cinched with a pink ribbon at the waist. It has a square neckline and a sheer sleeve. It can be worn with or without the cropped jacket with its gorgeous puffed sleeves with pleats and buttons down the front. The whole ensemble is topped with a beautiful blue bonnet that's accented with a thick shiny ribbon that fastens in a bow under the chin, we'll call that Jane's thinking cap. Ladies and GentlemenThe 19th century was a time of Pride & Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and so many other novels with perfectly quotable moments. And don't get us wrong, we know that Jane broke the mold chapter by chapter. Being an author wasn't an extremely ladylike profession. In fact, no profession was ladylike. But at the same time, she brought the lady's lifestyle into open air for common people to read. In fact, thanks to her gentle turn of phrase, we can still imagine that ladylike lifestyle when we curl up with one of Miss Austen's legendary books. It's time to get your quote on with a costume that pays tribute to Jane Austen's lovely wit.

The costume is inspired by the outfit she was wearing in one of her most memorable images, an undated photo of her riding the Montgomery Area Transit System bus.

We can’t all be Caesar! Well, wait a second… maybe we can. With a Gold Caesar Circlet, it’s pretty easy to at least feel like a Roman Emperor. Hopefully you’ll run more toward the Augustus side than Caligula or Nero, but hey, we hear they threw great parties! If you can’t tell, it’s not a bracelet (unless you’re the Hulk). No, this circlet is a golden crown, meant to resemble a laurel wreath which symbolized victory in war to the ancient Romans.You can be a Roman general returning in triumph after a battle in Gaul or Asia Minor, a gladiator who’s won his freedom at the Colosseum, or an early Olympic athlete in this Gold Caesar Circlet. It’s a perfect accessory for any Greek- or Roman-style costume, or a decadent addition to any look really. We can certainly imagine Kanye wearing it with red leather or oversized sweats more than a toga. If you have the ego of an emperor, this Gold Caesar Circlet will communicate it to the world for you so you don’t have to be so commanding.

The Ultimate AnswerWe all get asked the question from time to time. 'What's your favorite animal?' We all naturally have a quality answer to that query (even if it might change a few times over the years). The dog is well known as humanity's best friend. Then you've got the cat who has clearly won the Internet. From aardvarks to zebras, there are so many adorable, strange, and wonderful critters in the sea, on the land, or in the air.But allow us to suggest that we expand the definition of 'animal' a bit and offer you an even better option. Legends speak of all sorts of amazing creatures but few are more inspiring than the Pegasus. Start with the noble beauty of the horse, taking note of its indomitable strength and a truly epic mane of hair. Now add the grace and aerodynamic ability of a bird, too!? (When you add in the fact that they can swim, too, you've got an all-terrain triple threat!)Design & DetailsIf the magical majesty of the winged horse is what you seek, you're going to love this Adult Heavenly Pegasus costume! This hooded jumpsuit was designed by our Made By Us team to help you live out your Greek Mythology costume dreams. Start by shaping the wings to your liking and get ready to soar thanks to the hook and loop patch. Next, step into the metallic knit cuffs, creating a shiny hoof-like illusion.Zip up the front for an easy fit and pull up the foam-backed hood to show off a faux fur mane and perky ears. The pearly velour fabric will have you feeling supernaturally shiny so all that is left is to practice your Pegasus prance! (Team up with a friend in a Hercules costume to really go the distance.)
Don't Judge a Tut by its TombThe crypt had stood in silence for generations. Dust was everywhere, thick like fallen snow. But, as the adventurers stepped into the room, sending particles flying into the air, they couldn't help but cough until their lungs were raw! As the dust settled and the torchlight filled the room, they saw it against the far wall. Light glinted off the gold and bronze. The gemstones gleamed under the flickering flames. The Sarcophagus of the Tomb! Their lungs burned. Fear gripped their hearts. The adventurers turned and fled, screaming about the curse that had certainly afflicted them.Then, King Tut just sighed. Tut shrugged, turned around, went back through the secret passage to the tomb's kitchenette and turned off the stove. "I guess I'll save the tea for my next guests." It would have to be another decade of The Great British Bake Off and Mary Tyler Moore reruns. Unless! There was one other chance to make some friends...Design & DetailsIt is time for the season where even the spookiest of curses are welcomed with wide arms. Our Made by Us design team is happy to clean you up and get you ready for the event with this King Tut Sarcophagus costume. This is a long robe that zips up the back and is printed all over with gleaming gold, gemstone patterns, and designed inspired by ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. The robe has foam stitched into the panel for a stiff look (so hang it up before wearing) and the head and chin-piece have matching options to complete the illusion. Pick up some gold body paint or gloves to permanently etch this awesome look in the memories of all who look upon you! No Curses IncludedThanks to the refined look of this King Tut Sarcophagus costume, you'll be Tutting around the Halloween shindig in no time. Folks will be wondering where that myth of the curse even came from... so long as they treat you right, anyway.
All Aboard! Is everyone seated? Time to move! This stagecoach has a schedule to keep. These are dangerous times, so a few highwaymen or other criminals might try to stop the coach and rob the passengers. It's lucky that the coach has such a dashing and fearless driver to keep it safe! Product DetailsLook like a classy hero in this exclusive Black Coachman Hat! The accessory has a tall, rounded crown and a sturdy brim that curves up slightly above each ear. It's the perfect final detail to sell your steampunk or historical outfit. Hats off to You Some accessories always seem to give off a certain vibe. For instance, socks with sandals appear to say, "This was an unfortunate - but comfortable - fashion choice." Black top hats, on the other hand, are always awesome! Whether you're a courageous hero or a dastardly villain, you're sure to make an impression.
Prospecting may sound like a hard life, but it’s actually the best existence you could ever imagine. First of all, you get to be all by yourself every day. No crabby drones from HR leaning over your shoulder, no having to sign Jenny’s birthday card, no mandatory productivity meetings. It’s just you, your pickaxe, and the buzzards circling around you in the sky. You get unlimited access to heavy explosives, firearms, whiskey, and beef jerky, so you’ll never be bored. And whatever you’re prospecting for, whether it’s oil, gold, or whatever else it is that people prospect for, is going to make you a millionaire if you ever find it.Also, no more long hours stewing in an uncomfortable car just to get to work. When you prospect, at the end of every day you build a campfire, eat beans, pitch a tent, get your seven hours, and when you wake up you’re already right next to the hole you’ve been digging alone for seven months. Doesn’t that just sound like a little slice of heaven?Our Prospector Costume comes with the rugged shirt, hat, and bandana you need to really look like you haven’t seen another soul for years (not counting coyotes). Match this up with a grizzly beard, fake dynamite, and any other number of Western-themed accessories and everyone you meet will feel like they’re the ones who struck gold -- just by running into you!
As far as Halloween costume accessories go, hats can make or break your costume. Wearing a hat as part of your costume can be a risky choice if you’re going out. Over time, some hats can become uncomfortable or, if they don’t fit tight, can get knocked off your head easily. You don’t want to spend all night keeping track of your hat. If you’re thinking about some head wear for your costume make sure it’s something that adds significantly to the costume. Obviously, an Abraham Lincoln costume becomes more recognizable with a top hat, or a Charlie Chaplin look will be more complete with a bowler hat. In fact, a bowler hat would look great with a lot of costumes and, if you’re looking for one that will fit comfortably and stay on your head all night, all you need is this black mini bowler hat. This hat features a soft velvet exterior and fits perfectly on your head with the attached elastic string. Add a touch of class to your Halloween costume this year with this black mini bowler.
Do you ever get tired of modern technology, not because of how it works, but because of how it looks? We totally get it. Sometimes even state of the art gadgets and gizmos look like cheap flashy junk. If you're the type of gal that prefers brass, gears, and leather over plastic, LCDs, and wi-fi, then this Plus Size Steampunk Lady Costume is just the getup for your retro adventure!What exactly makes something “steampunk”? A lot of times, it's something that you just know when you see it, but there's definitely more to making something steampunk than slapping some valves on it and putting it on board a zeppelin. It's a unique style that fuses Victorian Era fashion and sensibility with the loud, gritty, and dangerous look of the Industrial Revolution, which makes everything appear more exciting! For instance, would you want to drive your boring old car to work everyday if you could pilot a “pneumatic powered quad-wheeled auto-buggy” instead? Even though those are basically the same things, the second one sounds much cooler!The same goes for costumes, and this steampunk getup is much cooler than an average outfit. This costume includes nearly everything you'll need to look daring on your outing, and features a corset-style bodice and a ruffled skirt with industrial-looking faux buckle straps. The matching sleeves and glovelettes add dashing detail to your ensemble, and the foam shaped top hat and vintage style goggles should come in handy if things get dicey. Add a pair of fierce buckled boots and some tights to complete this sassy look, and you'll be ready for some steam-powered action!
Fun Sherlock Holmes fact: The phrase "Elementary, my dear Watson" does not appear anywhere in the writings of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Holmes's creator. It is a line from the 1929 movie The Return of Sherlock Holmes, spoken by actor Clive Brook in the title role. According to anecdotes the phrase MAY have also been used earlier, by actor/playwright William Gillette in an 1899 stage production of Sherlock Holmes, but there is no written evidence of that. Interesting, no?? These are the types of things you can tell people all Halloween long... and you can also keep an eye on that Dr. Moriarty and make sure he's not doing anything weird at the party like stealing lightbulbs or thumb tacks, that sort of thing.

The Power of the Ancient WorldJulius Caesar. Marc Antony. These names resonate with action and might - but not more so than their larger-than-life contemporary, the legendary Egyptian queen Cleopatra! Their fellow ruler had a knack for thinking outside the box, setting up successful espionage, and mowing down any obstacle in her way. Also, it can't be denied that she had way better style than either of those two Roman guys. There's just no comparison between a boring white toga and a sensual, draping gown with golden details and jewels. Product DetailsBecome the original boss babe when you wear this exclusive Queen Cleopatra Costume for Women! The pullover sleeveless dress's bodice is made of shimmery gold-tone faux linen fabric with a V neckline and flattering ruching. The same metallic knit drapes over both hips and parts in the middle to reveal the opaque green and gold metallic knit skirt. A golden faux leather belt fastens around the waist, and its front drape is printed with hieroglyphics. The gown comes with a metallic knit cape that is decorated with a gold faux leather collar. The glorious final touch is the golden faux leather headband. Make Way for Royalty Bow down to the queen! Wearing a costume this amazing may make you feel like indulging your royal side: Go for it! Sail down the Nile on a gilded barge, stock up on delicious figs and grapes, and maybe start an international incident or two. Cleopatra would certainly approve. The only things you should probably avoid are snakes. They're bad news.
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!
The Long Way Round Some kids are born explorers. You can tell when they're mere babies. These are the kids that turn over onto their bellies weeks before they're supposed to. They move on to exhibiting an alarming obsession with climbing the stairs and escaping out of doors. Then, when they're in kindergarten they might have a "why" phase, trying to learn as much as they can about the world as fast as possible. If your child is a natural explorer then you've probably found out about his natural tendencies, it's pretty hard to miss!We're sure that Columbus showed off his curious side early on in life, testing the bounds of Italian village life as soon as he was toddling around. And when he was determined to find a new trade route to India, we bet no one was surprised when the explorer stopped at nothing until he had the ships he needed to see what lands lay beyond the Atlantic horizon!Details & DesignDesigned by our in-house creative team, this lush costume is perfect for school presentations, plays, as well as Halloween. The black tunic is belted at the waist. A faux-fur-trimmed coat is layered over top and has a wide cut that was fashionable in Columbus's time. The look is topped off with a hat that would look right at home at the helm of the Santa Maria. Picture PerfectDo you want your child to look like he's stepping out of the past? Finish off this costume with white knee-high socks, black shoes, and a telescope and he'll be ready to represent the man with the new voyage plan. A comfortably warm look, this is a unique choice for Halloween and an A-plus idea for your intrepid young explorer!
A Knight Noble and TrueKing Arthur is worried. A band of evil knights is threatening the safety of his kingdom. The Knights of the Round Table are away settling an uprising in the North, and the rogues are using the opportunity to pillage and plunder their way through the towns near Camelot. Just as the king is prepared to ride out to fight them alone, a mysterious stranger arrives at his castle. Dressed all in black armor, the unknown knight requests the honor of fighting the rebels alone. The king is concerned for his safety, but grants his wish. As he watches from the battlements, lo and behold! The knight fights with the strength of 50 men and the rogue band is put to flight!Product DetailsShow off your bravery in this exclusive Dark Crusader Kid's Costume! A silver tunic protects your arms from stray blows, and a long black tabard provides ease of movement so that you can swing a lance as easily as a sword. Two belts give you room to hang your extra weapons and silver gloves let you grip those weapons securely. As a finishing touch, the silver hood fits snugly over your head to keep you comfortable even inside those metal helmets. The Mightiest KnightOnce you rid him of his foes, the king will surely want to reward you with half of his kingdom! The choice is yours whether you want to rule at his side or continue on your adventures. Whatever you decide, the Dark Crusader is a legend that Camelot will not soon forget.
Everyone knows that being a goddess would be amazing. But what would be the best color outfit for a goddess to wear while going about her celestial business? Purple, of course! When your little one is dressed up in this Purple Goddess Costume, she'll look like she'd just strolled out of an Ancient Greek myth!There are a few purple things in the natural world, like grapes, lilacs, and a few flashy birds and lizards, so people have been aware of this pretty color for quite a while. But throughout history, purple dye has been notoriously difficult and expensive to make, and in the case of the dye called "Tyrian purple," which was made of rotten sea snails, it was also pretty gross to make! This meant that for most of history, only royalty and the very wealthy could afford to wear purple outfits. But no goddess is going to be thwarted by earthly technological restrictions like that, and if she wants to wear a purple dress, she's just a snap of her fingers away from having the chicest look on Mount Olympus!Luckily, this dress doesn't require divine intervention (or even rotten snails) to get its stunning purple hue. The cream colored synthetic gown and shoulder drapes transition to a heavenly purple color, which is complimented by gold details and brocade ribbons. Once she puts on the included gold headband and a pair of ancient style sandals, she'll be the best dressed goddess at any Greek costume party!
Mummy MadnessIs your mind always drifting to Egypt? We can't blame you. A millennium of history is layered in this land like a delicious chip dip with layers of spicy beans, nacho cheese, and guacamole. You never know what people are going to find next. The sands of this beautiful land are hiding all sorts of secrets from giant statues of gods to clandestine temples dedicated to long-forgotten cults. Who knows how many mummies might still be lurking under the surface of the sand, waiting for the right person to come along and enact the mummy's curse. Encourage your Egyptian connection with a classic Egyptian style wig. What better way to get someone to invite you on their next archeological dig?Product DetailsThis gorgeous black wig is a little past shoulder length. The glossy black color really stands out in a crowd. It has straight black bangs to make your Egyptian look unmistakable. Pair this with a dramatic Egyptian eye to give yourself a Cleopatra vibe.Pretty in PetroglyphsWant the perfect Egyptian costume?

Just take a selfie and upload it in the reviews to flaunt your Egyptian style to the world!
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!
Why should you try to hide your greatness? The ancient Pharaohs from Egypt never tried to conceal just how awesome they were! They build giant monuments to themselves during their rule and enormous pyramids to house their bodies after death. They wore some luxurious jewelry and plenty of gold and shiny stones. Truly, they were the original ballers of the world! It’s about time that you followed the footsteps of the most lavish kings to ever rule the ancient world. It’s time for this All Powerful Pharaoh costume for men.Our costume designers pulled out all the stops on this high quality outfit! This men’s Egyptian style costume brings you the look of an ancient king, complete with a black bodysuit, belt and wrap. The pieces have shimmering gold accents to give you a regal look that will make any subject feel your awesome might. The belt even has golden hieroglyphics on it for added effect. Of course, no pharaoh costume would be complete without some great accessories, so this one comes with a cape, some gold armbands and a luxurious headpiece that looks like something that King Tut would wear. What else could a king ask for (except complete and total subservience from his servants)?So, don’t hide away! Stand tall and proudly proclaim your birthright to the throne… or at the very least have a really magnificent time dressing like an ancient king. When you wear this costume, you can choose any of the great Egyptian Pharaohs. We suggest you go as Ramesses the Great, because he’s a total boss.
THE LEGEND OF AUTUMNThe story begins in a mountain village. She might have grown up to be a normal citizen. She had aspirations for stories and legends. She spent all her time reading books, imagining the adventures, and even writing a few of them, herself. But, just like the stories she loved, the call of the hero came. The world was in danger and she had to stand up and wield a blade of light to defend the helpless against a shadowy darkness: Crystalfire, the dragon!She knew from the tales what needed to happen. She would need to train and get ready for a fight. There would need to be a little bit of magic at work, but she was bright and knew that she'd figure that out. What a surprise that dragon was going to have. But, she needed to keep that magic a secret. So, she came up with the greatest trick of all. She would have to find the right armor, too. Who would expect an armored knight who could also wield magic!? DESIGN & DETAILSOur legendary smiths have been in awe of your little one for generations, just waiting for the time that she'd need this exclusive Medieval Warrior Costume. And, now it is time! Your little knight will feel powerful in this rich, blue, long-sleeved velvet dress and its black lace detailing along the hem. Accented by a dark underlayer and silver ribbon, this is a look of majestic nobility... but it gets even better thanks to the silver, foam-backed armor plates around the shoulder, torso, and fitted as gloves! TIME TO FINISH THE TALEWe all know how the tale of the mightiest medieval warrior of all time began, but we're just dying to hear how it ends! Help your mighty warrior create their own story and watch it unfold when they are geared up in this high-quality noble warrior look.

GET THOSE GEARS GOINGYou know when you've got a super good idea and it's just working in your head? You can pretty much feel the brain cranking and grinding to bring that genius-level spark into a whole fiery production. Can practically feel the steam pouring from your ears and your eyes lighting up with excitement, yeah? That's the inspiration of Steampunk calling to you. That perfect coupling of old style and new age innovation. It is time!DESIGN & DETAILSThis Steampunk Top Hat is the perfect thing to represent your creative flair. First, it was Made By Us, designed by our own Vintage Department of Futuristic Tech. It's more a low-top hat than a full-on crazy top hat, but at 5.5" tall, it gives you plenty of other styles you can wear it with. Really, you're here for the differently shaped brass gears riveted into the hat, though. All we need next is to get them actually mechanically active! KNOCKED INTO A COCKED HAT?We'll be honest. We had to look up that phrase. It means something has been destroyed and rendered useless. A rather funny way of saying "broken," but what else can you expect of something as classy as Steampunk. Anyway, with the high-quality of this Top Hat, you can be sure it'll stay non-cocked through the steam age!
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!
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.

Leave the phone and home and grab your drinking horn, because when you get this Viking costume, it's going to be only the "old ways" for you!
Balcony FashionsWhen you're making your entrance on your rosy, moonlit balcony, you've got to make sure you look like the romantic icon you are. That might mean billowy sleeves, layers of long skirts, and an extra layer of blush on your cheeks. But if you really want to look the part, you've got to have the right hat! The classic Juliet hat has become such a standard that the style has been copied for wedding veils all over the world. Pinning back the hair in a wonderfully understated way, it calls out for a romantic proposal by moonlight. Get all the romance without the star-crossed angst as soon as you pin this cap in its place.Product DetailsThis lovely cap is a staple for any historic costume wardrobe. Perfect for Shakespeare plays and Renaissance Fairs alike, the high-quality accessory can be used again and again.

This makes it always a good idea to dress up in something that will let you fit right in with the crowds of dedicated faire-goers, but still let you sit back and enjoy the show!If you're wearing a noble gown such as this, you may even find yourself being treated like royalty, which is never a bad thing. The full length dress is made of purple velvet material, for a truly luxurious look, and features elegant brocade ribbon detailing for added authenticity. Add a pair of slippers or sandals, and put braids in your hair to complete this lovely, regal style, which also makes a great part of a Renaissance group costume. See you at the faire, but for now, we bid you farewell!
