Jumping Through Hoop SkirtsSome people think that becoming a ladylike debutant comes naturally. And while that might be true for some, it actually takes rigorous practice for most folks. Is your kid willing to jump through a couple of ladylike hoops? Well, here's a few tricks of the trade to make her feel right at home in this lovely Southern Belle costume. The first tip, stand up straight! Your kiddo can have fun with this by walking while balancing a book on her head which is a classic finishing school activity. Secondly, use those "please" and "thank you's" with Southern style sweetness. And thirdly, practice that curtsy! It takes a little balance to get a greeting curtsy down smoothly. While your kiddo is waiting on pins and needles for this gorgeous gown to come in the mail, have her practice a curtsy every time she asks if the package has arrived yet. She'll have it down pat by the time she's slipping into this look!Details & DesignThis Made by Us Southern Belle costume is ready for the debutante ball! The look is lush with tiers trimmed in pink satin and lace. The top has a layered, ruffled neckline that's free of lace to keep your kiddo from annoying itching while remaining luxurious. It zips up the back to make slipping into the costume a breeze. With a wide pink sash around the waist that finishes in a bow, your child will be ready to twirl and charm her way into her debutant debut. Sun Tea and SandwichesWhether your child is dressing up for Halloween, a festival, or a play, this high-quality dress can be worn again and again for playtime after the event is over. Who said playing at home can't be a special occasion. What better way to make tea time on the porch extra memorable!
King of the OceanOf all the Olympian gods, we'd want to be friends with Poseidon the most! His kingdom covers most of the Earth, and is filled with amazing creatures like sharks, sea horses, eels, and more.

A gold foam crown tops off your royal regalia! The Fun Kind of Monarch Being king seems like a lot of work - unless you're the king of the watery world. Then you could let your Great White Sharks and your mer-soldiers do all of your important stuff while you spend the day surfing waves and playing with dolphins. After all, who could be expected to sit in a throne room all day when there are so many coral reefs just waiting to be explored?

Slither into characterThere are a lot of wonderful goddesses in the Greek canon. There's the goddess of the hearth, the goddess of love, the goddess of the hunt. But here's the thing, a lot of these goddesses have some serious issues. Jealousy is a major player in many of the stories. Take Medusa, for instance, totally innocent in her story, a goddess curses her with snakes for hair after she catches the goddess's husband's eye. Not cool. But in the end, who's more famous. That goddess or the once-unknown Medusa? Well, some people might be able to think of the goddess's name but Medusa is definitely more popular!Product DetailsThis lovely golden crown will make your basic toga ensemble jaw-dropping and unique.

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.

"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.

A True Freedom FighterFreedom is a powerful thing. Many take it for granted, but Harriet Tubman cherished it. She cherished it so much, that she devoted her entire life to helping people to reclaim freedom that had been taken from them.

Creeping CompanionsHave you ever wondered what it would have actually been like to live as Medusa? Cursed with a head of snakes for hair, she couldn't look anyone in the eye without them turning into stone. She didn't ask for the life, it must have been pretty lonely. Except for the fact, that she was never completely alone. She constantly had a whole head of companions. Who says she couldn't have gotten along with the snakes on her head?

So you're off to battle the dragon, eh? Well good for you! Our only question is this: how good is your sword?A fighter is nothing without a good blade.

Action HeroIn comic books, superheroes save the day quickly. There's a big "Pow" followed by a "Kurthwop" and "Yoink". But for real-life heroes, the fight lasts a lot longer than a panel. Often, the fight lasts a lifetime. For Susan B Anthony, that fight started when she attended a suffragette event with her family and the age of twenty-eight. She was instantly inspired. Soon, she was the one making speeches but that's not all. She wrote articles, organized marches, and eventually, she was arrested for defying authority and casting her ballot in an election. Some people would have assumed going to jail would stop a proper Victorian woman but Susan knew her arrest simply brought more attention to her cause. Susan B Anthony didn't let anyone or anything stop her until her death in her late eighties. If fifty-eight years of devoted social action doesn't make you an action hero, what does?Design & DetailsThe perfect way to celebrate Susan B. Anthony's cause, this suffragette costume would have looked right at place on the streets of 19th Century New York. Designed by our creative team, this dress zips up the back yet has historical details that any young history buff will delight in such as the decorative buttons up one side of the skirt and the ruffled high neckline. A purple and green banner with "Votes for Women" is draped over the bodice and a matching button is attached to the breast. A wide brim hat finishes the whole look off, making sure that your little suffragette is ready to march, no matter the weather. Girl PowerIf your child loves the women leaders of history, celebrating Susan B. Anthony is a great place to start. A great costume for school projects, Victorian fairs, and even Halloween, your child is sure to do Susan proud as she continues to fight for the rights of women around the world!
Southern charmWhile there was a lot wrong with the antebellum South, one thing they got right was the ladies’ beautiful fashions. These women took “go big or go home” to an all new level, with hoop skirts so wide that they sometimes couldn’t even walk through the door! Sometimes, five whole yards of fabric were needed for the voluminous skirts, and it could take days of work to create a complete outfit.Then, when a stylish belle finally received her dress, it was quite another process to actually put it on. There were the undergarments, the petticoats, the crinolines, the hoops, the underskirt… and the dreaded corset! All that had to go on first before the gown could even put worn. Then there was the detachable collar and all the accessories, like flowers for your hair and beautiful jewelry. We guess southern belles really knew how to suffer for fashion!Product DetailsThankfully, your charming southern belle doesn’t have to worry about trading comfort for style at her next ball with this beautiful Kid’s Lovely Southern Belle Costume. (It’s all there in the name!) This exclusive costume features dark pink flowers in an all over print on a lighter pink background.

There’s also a triangular chiffon scarf that can be tied as desired.

Susan Be Cruisin'There are some people that are born movers and shakers. They see injustice and cannot rest until they've turned the tide. Susan was one of those people. She attended her first women's suffrage event when she was twenty-eight, near her family's home. Three years went by and she was on a podium herself, delivering her first speech of many. After that, there was no stopping her.After writing articles and speaking publically at various venues, Susan B Anthony was arrested in New York for the first time for casting her ballot in a public election. That didn't stop her, she only got stronger. In fact, she continued to fight for the women's vote until she passed away, thirty-four years later in her late eighties. She didn't live long enough to see women throughout the United States cast their first legal votes, but she didn't stop from the moment she went to her first suffragette meeting until the very end of her days! Design & DetailsThis Susan B Anthony costume was designed to pay tribute to the women's right activist and all the ladies that marched and spoke out beside her. The long dress zips up the back with a ruffle around a high-neck and puffed sleeves. The dress is decorated with a purple and green "Votes for Women" banner as well as a button attached to the breast. Topped off with a matching hat, this ensemble will make you feel connected to Susan B Anthony, one of the biggest movers and shakers in women's rights history!The Right StuffSusan once said, "Men, their rights, and nothing more; women, their rights, and nothing less." You see, what Susan wanted was pretty simple but the people in her time often thought her pursuit was fruitless. Celebrate a woman who knew that she would make a difference when you slip into this Susan B Anthony costume!
We all know the story. Rob from the rich and give to the poor. While it's a noble pursuit, we'd like to see the Robin Hood story evolve a little bit for modern times. First step? Robin Hood needs to be a woman. We think the cunning skills of the famed hero translate just as well to a strong female role as portrayal by a man ever did. After that, we're not really sure where to take the story. To colonial America? The Australian outback? Outer space?? Whether you're interested in piloting the Merry Men to planet Nottingham, or prefer to keep the story in medieval England, you'll love your adventure in this Darling Robin Hood costume. Because history (or the future) mixed with a little sex appeal sometimes is just the right recipe.
Don't Take Any Wooden TeethGeorge Washington is famous for telling the truth. Funny, since there are many false myths about this founding father. First off, let's get this straight. President Washington did not have dentures made of wooden teeth. If you think about this, we should have known. Of course, he didn't use wooden teeth. He was a well-dressed, high ranking member of society even before he was president. Can you imagine how uncomfortable wooden teeth would be? No matter how well-varnished those dentures were, they'd get splintery within weeks! We're sure George Washington wouldn't mind if that rumor ended once and for all. The first president of the United States also didn't chop down a cherry tree or ask Betsy Ross to design the first American flag. But to be honest, those myths are a lot less disgusting than the wooden denture story, so we'll let those slide for now. Design & DetailsThis bright blue and yellow General George Washington uniform is Made By Us, which means it was designed by our in-house creative team. The costume includes a blue jacket with an attached cream-colored vest with gold trim and buttons. It's completed with a simple cravat slips around your neck, a tricorn hat, and boot covers that slip over your shoes and attach with an elastic band. Add on a George Washington wig and light-colored pants to bring this historic forefather to life!Crossing the DelewareAre you ready to become the legendary first president of the United States? This historical costume is a great look for historical events at schools and festivals, Fourth of July parades, and even Halloween parties! Since it's Made By Us, the high-quality costume will be a look that you can break out again and again. Just remember to set the record about your dentures straight, once and for all!

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!
Let them eat cake the most consequential misquote of history. Marie Antionette never made this arrogant suggestion, it was her aunt that said it. Also, it was very good advice. The original suggestion: when all the cheap bread was sold out the bakeries should sell the starving peasant cake for the same price as the bread. Not a bad idea, if you ask us.That being said, Marie Antionette did have a pretty intense love for the finer things in life. Let's just say, she had a hard time sticking to the budget. But consider this, she was escorted to France with fifty-seven carriages, one hundred seventeen footmen, and three hundred horses at the impressionable age of fourteen, the example of extravagance was set immediately. So, she thought nothing of using yards of silks per gown and building up her large extravagant wigs to suit each occasion. Her famous ship wig? It was built to celebrate a French naval victory. In a way, Marie's wigs were kind of like Tweets. The newspapers weren't going to report what she said but they would report on what she wore!Marie may not have been a favorite of French peasants but she certainly changed fashion forever. Look at us! We're still dressing like her! You won't have to worry about losing your head when you don this gorgeous ensemble. This gown is lush with a blue silky material and pale mint green ruffles at the sleeves and down the front. Top it off with a gorgeous iconic white wig and you'll be ready for your debut at Versailles. When you look this good you can have your cake and eat it too!
All Fame Is Good Fame...Maybe? Thousands of years have gone by but never has there been another conqueror like you. You charged the shores of what are now France and Belgium, and claimed them in the name of Rome (the Gauls weren't super excited about this, but whatever). You became one of the most revered and feared dictators in history. You inspired a timeless play by a timeless bard, and last but not least, you looked amazing in a toga. Not many people can pull one off, but you nailed it. And yet -and YET - somehow, you are most well known for a lemony, parmesan-y salad dressing that is a staple of every potluck. Et tu, Brute?Product DetailsYou'll veni, vidi, vici in this exclusively designed Imperial Caesar Costume for Men! The snowy white tunic proclaims your status as rich Roman senator, while the magnificent, molded golden chestpiece with its rampant lions, scrollwork, and faux-leather detail is clearly the uniform of a victorious leader. Matching leather gauntlets protect your wrists from sword, spear, and arrow blows. A magnificent red cape drapes dashingly around your back and attaches near one shoulder via a golden brooch. A golden laurel headpiece wreathes your noble brow for the final glorious touch. Legend of LegendsForget the anchovies and extra croutons, because tonight begins a new era of Caesar's greatness. Tales will be told of your epic party hijinks and your ability to turn any moment into an adventure worthy of etching into a clay tablet with a blunt stylus. This time, though, there will be no stabbiness at the end.

Just Another Manic Munch-dayEvery artist has a different specialty. Some are wonderful at framing reality in a totally different way. Others are great at bringing reality to life. But they all convey different emotions. Monet knows how to convey a completely peaceful French countryside. While Manet brings a little more energy to his peaceful French hoity-toity party scenes. Dali was always trying to make people feel a little unhinged whereas Leonardo da Vinci smoothed things over and made us think. Picasso was everywhere, making us feel blue one in one period while lightening the mood in another. But Munch's mood is more obvious than the rest. If you're looking to bring Munch's manic attitude to your next costumed event, we can think of no better costume than the Screamer!Product DetailsSimple is the name of the game with this look. Wear a neutral ensemble and let your face do all the talking when you fit this painting around your face. The background is a print of Munch's famous work, The Scream, while the inflatable frame will make you seem fit for the Oslo Munch Museum. Frame YourselfWhether you're dressing up for an art fundraiser or you just want a high brow twist to your Halloween costume, the Screamer costume is sure to be a lot of fun. Paint your face to match Munch's expressionist style. Green, orange, and blue are sure to do the trick. You can have plenty of fun reacting to the outrageous things people say and all the spooky costumes that might come your way with the one appropriate way your character can react. That's right, with an over the top scream. You decide if you want to keep it quiet or not. Feeling lonely thematically? Pair up with the Mona Lisa to make this a couples costume masterpiece!

Ever been on a plane? Back before the days of in-flight movies and fasten seatbelt signs, courageous men and women like Amelia Earhart dedicated their lives to realizing the possibilities of powered flight. If they hadn't taken to the skies, the idea of using airplanes for widespread transportation might never have gotten off the ground. So it makes perfect sense that you'd want to pay tribute by wearing one of these great-looking flyer's outfits!This Child Amelia Earhart Costume looks like it came straight out of the history books. The top is modeled on a leather bomber jacket from the 1930s, and the goggles and headpiece are reminiscent of gear worn by pioneering aviators like Ms. Earhart herself. Light brown breeches and a scarf round out the attire. We only regret that we can't include a bright red Lockheed Vega like the one she used for several of her most impressive flights, including her solo crossing of the Atlantic Ocean!As you probably know, Amelia Earhart's attempt at becoming the first woman to fly around the world ended with her tragic disappearance. But even though her life's work was cut short, she left behind an amazing legacy of courage and innovation that should continue to inspire generations to come. It just takes people like you to remind everyone what the true spirit of exploration looks like.So suit up, give those propellers a spin, and get ready to break some records!

A Mummy MonarchAncient Egypt had plenty of gods to look up to. There was Renpet, the goddess of time. Priests revered Heka, a god of magic and medicine. Then, of course, there were upwards of a dozen death deities. Death was super complicated in Ancient Egypt. There were multiple gods and goddesses that were there simply to escort the dead to the lord of the underworld. Then there were the deities that were in charge of the different aspects of mummification. Anubis was the head honcho of this department. He was in charge of weighing a souls heart, which was the main deciding factor that let souls pass enter the realm of the dead. We wouldn't let our dogs near so many raw hearts but maybe god dogs have more self-restraint than your everyday Fido. Product Details & DesignThis Anubis costume is Made-By-Us, meaning our company designers researched this god's look to put together a unique take on Anubis's aesthetic. The tight black shirt is has attached golden cuffs,a layered belt, and making anyone wearing this costume look like they could have been painted on an ancient tomb. With uniquely shaped pants and lightweight gauze draped throughout the costume, you'll feel comfortable moving throughout a costumed event. The ensemble is topped off with a mask and showstopping jackal headpiece with striking gold and black accents. Curse of the CanineWhen it comes to raiding tombs, there's no way we'd want to cross Anubis! This hound will not hesitate to protect the mummies in its care just like a Doberman Pincher might protect its master. Although instead of a bite, this dog will serve up a curse. No wonder ancient Egyptian priests showed this god so much respect. This Halloween, become the loyal guardian of the dead with this showstopping Anubis costume!

You can pretty much feel the brain cranking and grinding to bring that genius-level spark into a whole fiery production.

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!

AN EXTRA-DIMENSIONAL GENTLEMANWe need Steampunk in our lives. Like, literally our real-life lives. Cleaner energy. Inspired technology. A world of pomp and creativity, of Victorian style and futuristic ambitions. We just need it! Of course, obtaining such a world is a pretty daunting problem. Do we hop back in time and change things so that we get on the right track early and just cross our fingers that we don't drive even faster into the fallen utopia? That seems like we're begging for a time travel disaster!So, we figure that alternate dimensions are the way to go. Portals into the same time period but pulling a few quantum mechanical gizmos can't hurt nearly as bad as swapping a few moments in our past. Worst case scenario with that, we've got a dorky new friend who is a touch confused by our near-criminal lack of cogs and miffed by the lack of lever-activated machines to pour tea without having to walk over to the steamer!DESIGN & DETAILSBe our guide into this new era by stepping up into the role of a lifetime with this Steampunk Dandy costume. Exclusively crafted by our in-house team of artists, designers, and developers, we were sure to infuse it with plenty of signature Steampunk style and we know you're going to love it as much as we do. It includes a double-breasted vest with puffy jersey sleeves and a jabot at the neck. Of course, the look wouldn't be complete with a pair suede-like wrist guards, folded short pants, a stylized top hat, and a belt with a holster! SWORD CANE OR GRAPPLE GUN?Once you've settled into your dandy new Steampunk look, the only question will be what accessory is perfect. Cogs and gears, of course. But, will you go for the quirky tech for convenience or the stylish weapon for debonair flair?
Founders KeepersWith the Hamilton musical, the founding fathers are really getting a comeback! Now, we're not saying that they are going to show up on the cover of Rolling Stone any time. But in this day and age, it's fascinating to look at what these guys did with very few resources, freedom, and technology. Each founding father played their role. Washington was the military genius that buoyed America's revolution forward. Hamilton was the hardworking idealist. And good ol' Benny. Well, he was the mad scientist turned socialite turned diplomat. When he wasn't hobnobbing with the French to get them to fund our independence seeking war he was inventing ways of preventing disastrous lightning fires or trying to get the idea of bifocals off the ground. And when he wasn't working he was taking one of his infamous "air baths". We won't go into it, the visuals are with us but they don't have to be with you. So when it comes to dressing as a founding father, we all know the Benjamin Franklin is the most entertaining character there is out there even with his receding hairline. pProduct DetailsWhether this costume is for a historical reenactment, a play, or just for fun, you're sure to get in character as soon as you slip it on. The jacket is layered over a full vest and is accented with a cravat tie. The long coat will make you feel official as you make your entrance into both European and American courts. The short pants have an elastic waist, letting your outfit stay tucked in and you remain comfortable. Making HistoryYou'll go down in costume party lore when you show up to any Halloween bash dressed as the gregarious Benjamin Franklin. All you need to do is top off this look with our hilarious receding hairline Benjamin Franklin wig and you'll be ready to spread the word of our new nation. Hey, play your cards right and you might even come up with a few inventions as the evening goes by. Never hurts to step into the shoes of a genius!
The Viking life was hard but beautiful. The Norse lived in a harsh yet bewitching land, they farmed between fjord and mountains, in a cold climate right by the sea. While the men were away, shipping off to trade or raid, the women took control of the farms. It wasn't a meager task, the amount of work to do was staggering. At night, though, the community would come together in the warmth of the fire as they wove tapestries or braided each other's hair and told the intricate legends of their people.Capture some of the romance of the Viking village when you put on this gorgeous red wig. With a long braid and soft curls, you'd look right at home standing on the docks looking out for the returning ships. Pair it with one of our Viking dresses and you'll almost be able to smell the salty sea. With those long locks, someone may just mistake you for the Goddess Freyr.
He’s number two!Poor John Adams! His presidency came after George Washington’s, and it was pretty hard to compete with the very first president of the United States. But John Adams is actually pretty cool in his own right. This Founding Father wasn’t only the first vice president and second president of a fledgling country. He also helped write the Declaration of Independence, hammer out a treaty with Great Britain to end the Revolutionary War and was the first president to live in the White House. (Take that, George Washington!) Oh, and his son ended up becoming president, too!For your next U.S.-president-themed costume party, don’t go as some cliché like Washington or Theodore Roosevelt (and definitely not Abe Lincoln, since there are bound to be at least three other people doing the same thing!). Instead, show off your love of history by dressing up like ol’ John Adams, a truly underrated American president.Product detailsLook every inch like a perfect president with this exclusive Men’s John Adams Costume. The costume comes with a jacket and an attached vest, pants, a hat and a cravat. Both the jacket and the pants are 100 percent polyester. The jacket has vest panels sewn into the side and shoulder seams of the jacket, and the panels fasten at the center front with antique-brass-tone metal buttons. The cravat has a hook-and-hoop fastener at the back for easy wear, while the pants have an elastic waistband and cuffs to ensure you’ll always be comfortable. The faux suede tricorn hat has wire along the brim edge to keep its shape and always keep you looking fashionable!The coolest commander-in-chiefYou may have to spend the night explaining who you are to your fellow partygoers, but that will just give you extra chances to tell everyone how amazing John Adams really was. We think that’s a win-win!
Good old Romulus, founder of Rome, very well could have been the first person to popularize the toga. Back then it was common for both men and women to wear them, and they were quite simple and served basic utility purposes. But as the years passed, the toga became a symbol of male citizenship for the Romans, and became a much more formal type of clothing. They also got much more expensive and complicated from its humble beginnings.These days it's hard to think about the toga apart from college frat boys and parties. But, believe it or not, these draped clothes were quite formal and demonstrated success and distinction for many Romans. If your child needs to get a toga of his own, perhaps for a historical demonstration or a play at school, or if he's just looking for something fun to dress up as for Halloween, check out our Boys Toga.This toga is 100% polyester, with the sash sewn to the shoulder with a gold ring accent. The belt is a gold rope, and the toga is easy to put on with a comfortable fit and easy to put on and off style. Don't forget to add accessories to complete this costume, like a pair of sandals (the ones in the picture aren't included with the costume) or an ancient scroll for your child to read from!

Where Art Thou Rhyme SchemeShakespeare oh Shakespeare! Wherefore art thine rhyme scheme, Will? Tis but thy fancy wording that is our enemy. Thou art thyself, a wicked good screenwriter.
