A fiesty first lady"Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of husbands. Remember all men would be tyrants if they could."Dang! Abigail Adams didn't pull any punches, did she? Actually, this fiesty first lady made a reputation for herself as one of the most eloquent figures in the early history of the United States, and that's pretty impressive when her husband, John Adams, was known as one of the best letter writers (kind of like history's bloggers) of the period. Some historians even say Abigail was a better writer than her husband, and she didn't have half the chances at a fancy education that he did. So, you go, girl!There are plenty of role models to choose from when it comes to America's First Ladies, but we think Abigail Adams is one of the best. Not only was she a staunch supporter of women's education, she also spoke out against slavery and took a keen interest in her husband's politics. In fact, because she was so politically active, some people started referring to her as "Mrs. President"! It's no wonder that you're thinking about dressing up like her for your next costume party, and we can help!Product detailsThis exclusive Plus Size Women’s Abigail Adams Costume is sure to be a hit, whether you’re going to an inauguration or just a costume party. The red, long-sleeved pullover dress is 100 percent polyester, with a zipper down the back center for easy wear. The collar and sleeve cuffs are trimmed with lace, while there is elastic in the waist for a cinched look. Take it from us, girl: You will be the most fashionable belle at the regency ball!Good evening, Mrs. PresidentShow off your patriotic side and wow the crowd at your next costume party with this costume. We promise that if there's a vote for best costume, you'll win by a landslide!

An amazing activistMost people have heard of Helen Keller, who famously learned how to communicate with others even though she was deaf and blind from a young age. Thanks to her hard working teacher, Annie Sullivan, Helen learned how to spell words into people’s hands to communicate. Maybe you’ve seen the inspirational movie based on her life, “The Miracle Worker.”But Helen actually did so much more during her life! She went on to become a world-famous speaker and author, and she traveled to more than 40 different countries to give motivational speeches about deaf people’s conditions. She was a suffragist, a pacifist and more, and she even founded the Helen Keller International organization to research vision, health and nutrition. Not only that, she was part of the founding of the American Civil Liberties Union! In 1964, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

#WhatisaHastag?We know. It sounds pretty crazy, but girls in the colonial age didn't have the internet or social media. Kids these days are spoiled with instant information. You can look up anything at any moment and you can show friends your brand new pictures with just the simple touch of a touch-screen. Back then, the humble hashtag symbol looked a lot different and it was used in certain bookkeeping practices as a shorthand mark denoting a number! And they spent most of their time churning butter and doing chores around the farm.It was a tough, technology-free life, which is why we're quite thankful that we live in today's society! But it's always nice to look back at the tough work that the colonial settlers had to endure to give us a little more appreciation for how far we've come!Design & DetailsThis simple Girl's Prairie Dress Costume harkens back to the days of early midwest settlers in America. The costume starts with a one-piece dress that has a blouse-style top and an attached skirt around the waist. The skirt has a blue, floral pattern all over and the top has navy blue accents around the waist, sleeves, and collar. The dress fits with a zipper in back, making it easy to change into the historical look. The dress also has decorative buttons in the front. To complete the outfit, the dress also comes with an antique, gold-colored metal cameo that pins to the neck of the dress. When your child has it on, she'll be whisked bask in time!Shutting Down the Wi-FiTell your child to put that device away, shut down the Wi-Fi, and transport her back to a simpler time! With this Kid's Prairie Girl Costume, your little one will feel like a settler from the 1800s!

THE LEGENDE OF THE MAIDEN FAYREThere are few things more magical than the idea of whisking back to the past and living out a dream of a medieval fantasy. About the only thing that can compare is bringing your kiddo along for the ride. Just imagine the tale that you both will craft.

Quoth the Raven, 'Some Coiffure!' Once upon a Halloweeny, while we gandered weak and weary, at our hairstyle (sad and dreary) upon the mirror of our door, there we wondered a simple query, one that got us rather cheery: "Could we make our hair do more!?" The first step was to get out of that rhythmic pattern of Edgar Allan Poe's spectacular style. It's pretty tough coming up with stellar looks while you're stuck in the mindset of a haunting song. It did, however, give us some solid inspiration for ways to help you access your inner poet. Don't scratch your noggin all night trying to figure out the next stanza of your epic poem when you can transform into the epic writer in a snap! Design & DetailsOur In-House design team didn't need to wait for a mysterious devil bird to swing by and give them the idea. This Edgar Allan Poe Wig and Mustache kit was a Made by Us design that they'd been dreaming about for a while. You'll have a mesh cap of synthetic hair that is styled after the dismal style of the horror poet as well as a matching 'stache that will keep you longing for Lenore all night!Let Your Hair Do the TalkingWe've all got a secret yearning to let our deepest feelings out. Don't wait for that Telltale Heart to do the talking. Throw on this Edgar Allan Poe Wig and Mustache and you can just focus on the fun!

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!
You hear that sound off in the distance? Yup, that's a Gjallarhorn. And that doesn't just mean that soon you'll be in battle with your fellow Viking brethren. Yes, it means that. But it also means that you're going to be battling alongside the gods in the final battle of Ragnarok. Do you think you have what it takes to join them?No, of course, you don't. Because you don't have this adult Viking helmet yet! You sure can't be expected to head into battle without the right gear, and if you need gear for your head (trust us, you do!) you're going to want to add this detailed helmet to your Viking costume.Styled like something a real warrior might have worn into battle, this mask covers part of the face, for maximum protection during combat. Of course, this mask will just be used for costume fun and not real action, but that's no reason not to look authentic as possible, right?This signature mask is made and designed by us, and you're only going to find it for sale right here at HalloweenCostumes.com. So pick it up, and when it arrives, all you'll have to do is wait patiently for that horn to sound!
Go Go GorgonThe Gorgons are myths of iconic proportions, though most only know of them via their matriarch, Medusa. But Medusa is merely one sister of three! She’s the youngest of the three serpent-haired and cursed aquatic sisters who could turn mortals to stone with just a gaze. While the others, Stheno and Euryale might have been immortal, it was only Medusa who etched a place in all our memories. It’s not a happy tale, Medusa’s. Unfortunately for her, cursed by Athena for no good reason, Medusa became a horrible snake-headed monster that everyone feared until another demigod showed up with a bevy of blessed divine artifacts and beheaded her!Design & DetailsThere’s a lot of power in rewriting myth. You can do just that in our exclusive Women’s Plus Size Deluxe Medusa Costume! It was tough to create a look based on a woman who can’t be looked at, but our amazing designers have worked a miracle and created this legendary look. It’s a green and scale-printed bodysuit that will give you the serpentine sway that tempts all mortals. It has the added detail of extending along your hand with a ring sleeve. The bronze halter dress drapes around your hips with a long Grecian drape between your legs. The final detail is a luxurious green faux gem brooch that matches the scales. And because it’s one of our Made By Us exclusives, you can worry less about the quality of that scaly bodysuit and more about how to tempt your mortals. Pick up a serpent wig or detailed bow and take your revenge on Perseus and Athena!Medusa Seduce YaWhen you are garbed up as this glorious Gorgon, know that the striking the right pose may stiffen folks into stone. You'll want to practice this with care to make sure it doesn't happen by accident because there aren't many ways to fix the cursed power of this exclusive Plus Size Medusa Costume.

Age-Old SlangDo you ever feel like you and your kiddo speak a completely different language? You'll say something and they'll throw their heads back and reply with a mighty, "Ugh!" before stomping away. Maybe it had something to do with the 'Dad Joke' you told in front of their friends. Maybe it had something to do with restricting the use of the device that they're always attached to. And let's not forget that they've got some weirdo words that have you scratching your head, too.

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.

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!
Costumes from HistoryWe're all about having a good time on Halloween, and for most folks that's a big costume party where everyone gets together to have a memorable night. While most of our costume products are made with fun in mind, that's not our only pursuit. We aim to cover every costume experience with the widest selection of costumes on the web, and that includes historical costumes. Be it for re-enactments, plays, or just for raising awareness about the important events of history, a historical figure costume can help you do a lot of good by bringing history to life. When it comes to American history and the Civil Rights movement, there are few figures more important than Rosa Parks. We won't try and retell the entire story here (we couldn’t do it justice!) but if you don't know the details of how her refusal to give up her bus seat sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott, it's worth your time to read and understand how and why that happened. If you’re looking to tell her story in a brand new way, be it for school or a play, we know this Rosa Parks costume will do just that.Design & DetailsThis detailed Rosa Parks Costume is Made By Us, which means it was designed by our own team in-house. 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.

It also comes with a brown pillbox hat to complete the look.Sharing Important StoriesHelp share the story of Civil Rights icon, Rosa Parks, when you get this costume recreation.

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!

You toil away all day, sailing off to foreign lands raiding rival clans, pillaging unsuspecting villages to provide for your family and establishing yourself as a jarl to be respected.

You’ll have to teach him how to wield a round shield, how to swing a sword and most importantly, you’ll have to show him how to braid his beard into one of those cool warrior beards!
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.

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!
He's a brave knight! You always knew that he would be. (He was raised right, after all!) But now that he's come of age, you can be expecting a call from the king himself any one of these days. Because when word gets to the high castle that your boy is ready to do his part for king and country, you can expect that he's going to go into the service of knighthood in very short order. There are dragons to slay, after all! Now, he might be a bit nervous about being knighted, having some stuffy old man waving a sword around his head, but trust us, he'll be fine. At the worst maybe he loses and ear or two. A small price to pay for knighthood!This costume is sure to have him feeling like a knight who can battle the evildoers in the realm, or at the very least, slay a dragon or two! A detailed ensemble look means that he'll have the perfect style for riding his trusty steed at the jousting court, or the dashing style to strut up the dangerous mountain path to the dragon's lair. There's always the chance that dragon is in the mood to barbecue some knights though, so we always recommend he ride in the middle of the pack. Or, if he's feeling especially confident, ride at the front, next to the king! Kings usually survive that stuff, right? Well, time is a wasting! Duty calls! Don that armor and ride into battle, knight!
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!
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.
Does your child seem to have an unusual interest in the birth of our great nation? Does his knowledge of the Revolutionary War often put college professors to shame?

This Child Colonial Wig will be just the thing to surprise and delight the kind of kid who knows the customs of the 18th Century the way most kids his age know all the lines from Spongebob Squarepants.

With this 100% synthetic white hair wig styled with sausage curls on the top and the sides, with ponytail tied at the back with black ribbon, he'll feel like he just traveled back in time to the signing of the Constitution!
The Vikings… warriors, artists, adventurers… They had a pretty easy set of rules for achieving greatness in life and the afterlife: be great! Prove oneself through combat and keep a blade at your side, live and die in valor and find your way to that glorious table at the foot of the gods, preparing for the mightiest of all Final Battles. And, if the culture and bravery of its warriors aren’t enough, just look at their rather efficient set of deities. Those Norse gods mean business! Odin promised no frost giants on Midgard and, sure enough, we are bereft of any such terrifying denizens of the other worlds.But, even though the days of Vikings sailing from one place to another in a bounding and exploratory quest might be over, their legends still echo throughout our time. Between varied incarnations of the mighty god of thunder and popularized icons of their culture throughout our own, we realize that Ragnarok still approaches. The end days and the final battle may yet be upon us any day!Do not disappoint the Valkyries who will decide who joins at the grand table and who will simply fade from memory. Join in the fight at Ragnarok with this Adult Viking Warrior costume. A comfortable pullover netted black and silver tunic combined with the faux leather chest armor with brilliant silver studs gets you armored and ready to deflect any attacks from your pitiful enemies. Faux fur gauntlets, shin guards, and a studded belt keep your extremities well guarded and, of course, what Viking would be worth its wrath without a helmet! But, it isn’t enough just to be armored like a warrior. Let’s go the whole road and sit you at the head of the table as a warrior lord with this velvet cape with faux fur trim. Add your favorite Viking Axe or Sword and the Valkyries won’t be able to resist carrying you to the head of the great feast.
Maybe you're thinking of dressing up like a king or a queen, envisioning heaping piles of coinage and blackbird pies. But that's not what being a ruler is really like! When you're the wealthiest and most powerful person in the realm, you're everybody's first call when something breaks and they need help fixing it. You're not just some fancypants prancing around in their puffy sleeves and twinkling crown: you're like a well-dressed 24/7 plumbing service. And Renaissance plumbing is not something you want to have to fix, no matter what you're wearing!So we made this fine Noble Renaissance Man Costume for people who crave a life of leisure. Sure, somebody wearing an outfit like this probably doesn't bathe in coffers overflowing with gold florins. But they also don't have people knocking on their door at all hours because a kitty cat or pigheaded goat is stuck in a tree again, and nobody else can afford a ladder. A Noble Renaissance Man like this is free to tend his modest parcel of land or become learned, to play chess or train in swordsmanship. Or all of the above!And maybe he's not covered in gold and jewels like the chump wearing the crown, but we figured that this guy would still have some pretty stylish clothes. So we made his tunic and bonnet out of velvet. Then we lined his cape with satin, and fastened it with a flashy golden chain. We even threw in some great-looking boot covers and stuck a feather in his cap for good measure. It's a complete look, ready for a costume party or Renaissance Faire!

Wash Your HandsWhen Florence Nightingale came on the medical scene during the Crimean War, more soldiers were passing away due to sickness than injury. Once soldiers entered the medical bay they were exposed to some seriously awful bugs. When the sharp-eyed, diplomatic Nightingale saw the conditions of the medical tents she wrote to the government to tell them to save the soldiers through hygiene. Under pressure, the government went to work improving ventilation and sewage treatment.In the meantime, Florence implemented handwashing rules and trained nurses in keeping sanitary conditions. Under her watchful eye and lantern light, the rate of survival in the hospitals went from fifty-one percent to an amazing ninety-eight percent. It's no wonder that, more than a hundred years later, we still remember her making her nightly rounds, lantern raised.Design & DetailsIf your child is a history buff, she's sure to appreciate this Florence Nightingale costume, designed by our in-house creative team. The black dress and apron are separate, letting your child dress up in either without the other. The apron slips over the head and ties at the back. The dress zips up the back and has a red cross band around one arm. Topped off with a ruffled cap, this costume would make the proper Florence Nightingale proud!For the WinWhile most well to do young ladies were expected to stay at home, Florence had a calling that she couldn't ignore. Her expectations for hygiene, patient care, and compassion elevated the skill of nursing and saved people all over the world! In fact, nurses still the Nightingale Pledge to this day! This costume can be completed with a lantern to represent Nightingale on her nightly routes, checking on patients as everyone else slept. Perfect for school projects, plays, and even an alternative Halloween costume, this look is a great way to celebrate an iconic hero of medicine!
Ax us no questions and we'll tell you no liesWe went back in time and polled a Viking village from the sixteenth century about their preferred battle weapons. Honestly, it didn't go very well because the people we elected to go in and take the poll were taken captive in an instant. The Viking warriors took their tablets, their sunglasses, and raincoats. The little warrior kids even snatched Anthony's pocket protector. So if an anthropologist discovers what looks like the first ancient Best Buy in Northern Norway, they can give us a call and hear the story. We did get an answer, by the way. Anthony ended up charming his way into the community by breaking out his early nineties rap routine. Lucky for our data, he had grown up as a beatboxing nerd. Once he had warmed them up the Viking warriors let him know that the two-handed ax is the only way to go when it comes to heading into battle. Product DetailsYou'll love the hand-made look of this ax. The handle is long and has a warm color. The ax head is silver with Nordic details stamped into the metallic finish. Big, Bad, and Battle-readyWhether you're dressing up for Halloween or you're heading out for LARPing, this ax will make you feel ready for the shield wall. It'll pair well with any of our Viking costumes. Plus, as all the other Viking's know, the two-handed ax is the only way to go!
Colonial CostumeNowadays you can order a burrito to your living room by pulling the computer out of your pocket and giving a delivery app your address. In stark contrast, getting by in Colonial times was much more difficult. But those brave settlers did what they had to to make new, promising lives for themselves and their kin.

And while we can toss a tasty pastry into the toaster and have breakfast minutes after we wake up, back then you had to do the hard work of milking the cow, building the fire, making bread dough from scratch, collecting eggs (if they were laid), and on and on. Imagine all those dishes, with no dishwasher! And just imagine: that’s when the real work began. Baking, cleaning, sewing, cultivating the garden, helping to raise the children, more farming. We’re exhausted just thinking about it, and the toughest thing we did today was sit in rush hour traffic on our way to the office! How they managed, while maintaining such a unique style, is simply amazing.
Real QueenThe expression goes real queens fix each other’s crowns. But the truth is, they fix a whole lot more.

Floral FlairSome might say that the ruler of an ancient land needs to put forward a face of stern strength.

Far AfieldHave you ever looked out on a wide horizon and wished you could know what it would have been like to be a pioneer woman? If your average pioneer women got a glimpse in our houses these days, she would be blown over by the luxury we live within our day-to-day. There are no lamps to trim, we don't have to score our clothes by hand, when we want to go above and beyond to bake some bread, all we have to do is turn on the stove. She would even be delighted by our solid walls and rooves, as many pioneer women wound up living in sod houses, literal bricks of dirt are great at keeping the warmth in and the wind out but they still had to deal with dirt and bugs falling all over the house... gross. Maybe it's time we invited our inner pioneer woman to take a break in our modern lives for a bit. Design & DetailsThis one-piece dress was designed by our in-house creative team for a lovely, easy way to slip into a historic look. The zip-up dress has a long calico blue skirt and a band around the waist. The blouse has a high neck with a small peter pan collar and full sleeves that are cuffed at the wrist.

Hoist the Mainsail! Captaining your very own ship would be such a dream job? Why? Because you'd get to boss everybody around, from the first mate to the cabin boys. "Swab the decks!" you'd call. "Man the capstan! Weigh anchor! Belay the mizzenmast!" You wouldn't even have to know what any of those words meant. As long as they sound sufficiently nautical, you can just have fun yelling whatever you think of. Product DetailsLook brave and dashing in your exclusive Toddler Colonial Captain Costume! The soft, unisex jumpsuit fastens up the back and is designed to look like four distinct articles of clothing. The top features a blue jacket-style layer that reveals a red "waistcoat" insert beneath a ruffly white collar. The bottoms are a soft beige and tuck neatly into the black boot covers. Top it off with tricorn hat! Beyond the Horizon The Colonial era was an exciting time to be a sea captain! You'd load up your vessel with interesting passengers and all kinds of exotic goods one day, and then after a sometimes dangerous voyage, you'd dock at a port all the way across the ocean to deliver your goods and explore. You might even get to fight a pirate ship or two along the way! The only problem is, with a journey that long, fresh food tends to spoil quickly. No need to worry: That just means that you have to stock your galley with all of the prepackaged, long-lasting snack foods your parents don't like you to eat.
It really doesn’t matter where you look for ancient tales about some of the most famous of mythical creatures. Ultimately, the core of the tale rings pretty accurate no matter where you’re finding it. Such is the case of the mysterious Medusa. In some tales, she was a woman of such incredible beauty that she was cursed by jealous gods, turned into a monster that no mortal could handle looking upon, ultimately even meeting her own end upon seeing her horrific reflection. In others, she was a sorceress granted great magic by demons who ultimately subverted her form over several years. But, one great fear remains true of the mighty gorgon… her gorgeous locks of hair became a nest of hissing vipers!But, who is to say that a nest of serpent hair can’t still be pretty! Prove those jealous gods and cruel demons wrong by showing off this exotic and lovely Wicked Medusa wig. This synthetic weave of vibrant green dreadlocks have just enough of the entwined serpent look to give people a second thought about getting too close but are exotic and beautiful enough that they’ll have to take a second look! Join this with the right sequined green dress or a nice set of serpent contact lenses to turn monster into mystery!
We surveyed a pool of 100 men to ask them what their beard means to them. This is a brief summary of our findings...Once thought of as a personal grooming choice for only mountain-men and lumberjacks, beards have made quite a comeback in recent years. Now everyone from hipsters residing in Brooklyn to philosophy professors are choosing to sport this popular trend in facial hair. The men we talked to like sporting full beards because it makes them feel powerful, rugged, hardy, and overall more masculine. "No one ever picks a bar fight with a man who's efficient at growing a beefy beard," one participant noted. "Yeah, if a beard was good enough for Abe Lincoln, then a beard is good enough for me," another participate explained.Men-in-the-making, don't worry because your ability to display a robust beard will come soon enough. Until then, wear this red viking beard to give you the macho appearance you desire. You can see what it's like to have a furry face while also enjoying your time as a kid because it goes fast. Be at ease knowing that you will truly join the beard movement some day soon!
Hair with AttitudeDo you know those times when you wake up with a hopeless bad hair day? You take one glance in the mirror and you know there's nothing you can do. You could break out your hair straightener, ramp up your hair mousse, or call on all the bobby pins in your arsenal but that cowlick in the back of your head is still going to stick up straight. In the end, you just have to ride the bad hair day wave or figure out a way to work a hat into your ensemble. But all your bad hair days put together can't beat the day that Medusa woke to find a goddess had cursed her with reptilian locks. If you think cowlicks are annoying, just imagine if your hair could actually bite back if you took a comb to it. At least your locks would never be boring, right?Design & DetailsThis Made-by-Us green wig is a stylish interpretation of Medusa's legendary look. The long, layered curls make an immediate impact with shades of green and black strands. It turns out, having hair with attitude can be a pretty stunning look!Slither with StyleWe're thinking that Medusa needs rebranding. Ancient legends paint Medusa's post-snake life in a pretty grotesque way. But in the end, we're sure that she could have rocked this look if she so chose. So step out with a fresh Medusa look. This gorgeous wig is sure to tip the scales!
It Was the Best of Times, It Was the Worst of Times...Civil war, or any kind of war, is never great. There's always bloodshed, heartbreak, sickness, shortages, and wounds - both physical and mental - that take time to heal. On the other hand, just like throughout the rest of human history, there are always good things to be found right alongside the bad. Physicians start to realize that handwashing before surgery is a good idea. The bridge to women's suffrage begins to be built. The steam engine blazes across the prairie, reuniting families and cutting down on weeks of travel in covered wagons. And best of all, women's fashions were absolutely stunning!

The floor-length dress is made of light and comfortable polyester calico fabric and is printed all over with a delicate floral pattern.

Pink satin ribbon decorates the cuffs, hemline, and bodice, and a matching ribbon is sewn to the waist as a sash. The plastic cameo and decorative buttons give the dress some extra flair. An included petticoat goes under the whole thing to pouf out your skirts beautifully - no hoopskirt required! American BelleWhether you wear this costume for a pageant, reenactment or party, you'll look like America's sweetheart. Enjoy the benefits of throwback fashion without having to wear a corset to get the look!
Best Curse EverThe fact that Medusa was cursed (very unfairly, in our opinion) meant that she had to leave everyone she knew behind and make a new home for herself in solitude. She found an uninhabited Mediterranean island where she made friends with a bunch of snakes and set up a small castle.Then she kicked back and enjoyed that fresh Mediterranean breeze. With some nice, fresh fish and the ability to spend her time as she wished, she was in pretty good spirits until that Perseus came along. We almost wish someone would curse us and force us to live on a private island in one of the most beautiful places on Earth!Product DetailsMaking sure you are dressed right for any occasion is very important, which is why we recommend setting yourself up right with this Women's Medusa Queen of the Gorgons Costume. The included dress is both flattering and stylish, taking all the best parts of Ancient Greek style and melding them with modern fabrics and cuts.The plunging neckline and elastic waistbands mean that you will look great and feel comfortable in this awesome costume. The shoulder drapes are attached and hang fetchingly, while the gold, braided rope belt can be tied and draped however you wish. Finally, the molded plastic crown brings together all the serpentine motifs that you are looking for to make this costume extra ssspecial!Snake EyesIf you are searching for the perfect way to look classic and magnificent, then you are in the right place. You will feel like a winner in this cool and comfortable costume. Just make sure you try not to look anyone in the eyes until you make sure you want them to be stone!

The foam backed wrist bands slide easily over the hands.The Sun God Needs a NapBeing a country's exalted leader is tiring business! You have to sit through plenty of state events so that the masses can get a glimpse of your adorable self. In addition, you're still doing the all-important business of cutting teeth, discovering that your feet are attached to your body, and determining which of your fingers is most delicious. It's no wonder that Pharaoh sometimes gets really cranky and passes out on his official handlers. Fortunately, Pharaoh snuggles are some of the best in the world. Lucky the vassal who gets to minister to him!

Et Tu, Brute? Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears. We come not to bury Caesar but to celebrate his fantastic sense of style. Imagine all the things that Julius Caesar accomplished in his lifetime. He led a the mightiest of armies. He named himself dictator of the Roman Empire. He conquered Gaul - not that Gaul's natives appreciated this acheivement. "We were FINE, Caesar!" they said. "Go open your national smoothie chain somewhere else!" Or something like that. None of these successes can compare to the fact that he made a breastplate, a man-skirt, and knee-high, lace-up sandals look good. People are still wearing his footwear thousands of years later. That's a real victory! Product Details Your subjects will be in awe of your lordly threads when you wear your Julius Caesar men's costume!

An Elementary EncounterLight from the streetlamps peer out in the foggy early morning on the cobblestone streets. There's a criminal walking these streets and you're the one on the case. The first incident happened last week in the early morning hours when no one but bakers and lamplighters are up and about. It wasn't the lamplighters that were the victims of this crime, it was the bakers... or rather, the baker's bakes! After last week, freshly baked cakes have been stolen all around town. There was a chocolate cake on Lambstail Lane, missing with nothing but a few crumbs left on the tray. Then there was the browned butter pound cake on Wheller Drive and the torte on Tourtellotte.
