A Historical MythWhenever you’re trying to craft the ultimate look, there are a number of places you can turn. History provides some excellent characters that are worth restoring to life. Comic books offer dozens of enigmatic heroes and villains alike that can be recognized on the spot! Then, of course, there are those celebrities that verge on myth, creating stories all over the world. So, why not become the best of all three worlds at once by transforming into one of the most mysterious and iconic characters of all time: the phantom of London, Jack the Ripper!? The Whitechapel Murderer leaves a lot unknown, and everyone loves a mystery! Bring this villainous killer to the present day and draw some real attention with our Men’s Victorian Jack the Ripper costume!Design & DetailsYou’ll be channeling one of the most enigmatic—and technically unidentified—killers from all time when you slip into this Made By Us costume.

Wear your own shirt and trousers and give yourself a Victorian spin with the printed satin vest, complete with a crushed velvet collar.

Top everything off with the top hat with the matching hat band. You can be sure this look will be historic!Killer IdeasTo ensure that everyone identifies you as the Whitechapel Killer, add facial hair to create some mutton chops—a classic style for the late 1800s.

The Noble TogaFor a century, the Romans ruled and created some pretty remarkable architecture! They had a society filled with some pretty advanced ideas, too! But, of all their inventions, we have to give the highest praise to their fashion sense. This glorious weave of wool is what separated the scholars from the students. What other article of clothing has inspired an entire theme for parties!? It's time to give a little honor to the toga that elevates us all. It's a pretty common belief that everyone in Greece and Rome wore the toga. But, a real ancient Roman would gasp at the audacity. The true toga was for Roman citizens exclusively. Then you had the ones with golden shawls or even purple stripes! Those meant that you had an emperor or even a member of the Roman Senate striding up to you. Of course, these days, we wear them a bit more freely. (Plus, we've made a few modern adaptations to make them easier, too!)Product DetailsJump into the fun of a toga party or some ancient Roman rulership with our Party Toga costume! You won't need 18-feet of cloth to bring your illustrious frame to bear. With this costume, you'll be able to slip into the look of a toga with a simple tunic that features golden trim and accents on a pure white base. The gold belt keeps things cinched thanks to hoop and loop strips in the back. Give yourself a Senatorial boost with the included gold leaf headband and then choose between the blue or red shawl to complete your look. Command the PartyThe Roman Senate might have been fighting with each other for a thousand years. But you won't have to fight to get a winning look. This Party Toga costume is a comfy and stylish way to bring ancient Rome into the modern day!
Never Underestimate a Well-Dressed WomanA love for fashion is a sign of a sharp mind!

The pair have pointed toes with thick yet dainty heels. Stitch detail and buttons up the outsides of the ankles give them extra glamor, while the zippers on the inside of the ankles circumvent the need to spend a lot of time doing up all those individual buttonholes. The Right Tone Add some vintage charm or steampunk flair to your outfit with a pair of these cute boots! They'll give you a look that's a cross between "sassy English nanny" and "tough supernatural detective."
#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!
BITESIZE ANCIENT HISTORYWe can hear you, already. "Not another history lesson!?" Well, just wait! Don't run off. This is going to be a quick and easy one that we're sure you're going to love! (And, you can't run, anyway. We've latched the doors and set up all sorts of ingenious traps to keep you around.) See, the thing about history is that there's just so much of it. It gets too huge to handle. That's why we're going to break up the history of all time into little, easy-to-handle chunks!There's something about little versions of things that are somehow super cute, too. Take the real-life "boy king" of Egypt. Tutankhamun was only nine when he took over an entire dynasty and even managed to keep the title until he grew up! It was pretty commonplace that folks would worship the Pharaohs after they were gone, but ancient Egyptians were loving King Tut while he was alive. Obviously, that's because they couldn't contain the adorable "awwws!" DESIGN & DETAILSBring the legend to life and make history once again when you transform your tot into Tut with this exclusive Egyptian Pharaoh Costume. Our team of designers moonlighted as archeologists for months to put together this high-quality look of dark black and gleaming gold. The short-sleeve tunic falls beyond the knee and matches the inner lining of the gold and black-striped headpiece. Shiny black fabric makes up the collar, cuffs, and the belt, though it is the hieroglyphics printed on the belt that really sell the look! THE YOUNGEST PHARAOH YET!King Tut made ancient fame for having the nicest pyramid to date and being the youngest kiddo to rule. But, time for the crown to pass to an even younger generation with your toddler! This Pharaoh Costume is bound to get way more attention than some old 18th Dynasty fuddy-duddy!
There are a bunch of perks to being the very first of anything, especially the first president. Sure, you don't have a previous president to blame stuff on, but it also means you are totally allowed to make stuff up as you go. Step into the shoes of the guy who literally wrote the book on being the US president with this George Washington Costume, and add some patriotic authority to your day! Every American knows who George Washington is (at least as the "dollar bill guy"), but it's impossible for us to know what he was actually thinking when he became the country's very first president. He managed to make it work, but what kinds of things could he have done during his presidency that would have made the government a lot stranger? Could he have issued an executive order that all disputes in Congress were to be resolved by a potato sack race? Or, that the president got to wear a superhero style cape as part of their official uniform? It sounds weird, but compared to some real parts of the government, not that weird. No need to worry about looking weird, though, because when you're dressed in this presidential outfit, you're the boss (as long as you also get a majority vote from the costumed electoral college). The overcoat, vest, and matching trousers are a fine example of 18th Century style, and be sure to add a powdered wig to complete this Founding Fatherly look. Whether you're wearing it for a historical reenactment or play, or just having some patriotic costumed fun, you'll look truly revolutionary!
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. How is a swordsman or woman supposed to guard the realm, save the king, and defeat hoards of monsters without a good blade? Without a sword how can they duel for honor, defend themselves, and impressively wave the shiny thing about? Quite simply: they can't.So if you're a Lord, a knight, a shield maiden, or just some average Joe who's having a troll problem in his backyard, make sure you get your hands on a Royal Knight's Sword. This baby is 42" long with a 7" grip and is great tool for walloping on any baddies that come your way. It's sure to get your point across.
A Day in the LifeEver wonder what a day in the life of an Amish woman is life? Now you can find out ...It's no surprise that the Amish live very different lives than the rest of us. Their day usually begins at 5:00 a.m., where they get dressed in their bonnets and hats and prepare for a long day of honest hard work. The men go out to tend to the crops while the women tend to various housework, which includes everything from milking the cows to making the bed. It takes a lot of diligence and love of a simple lifestyle in order to make Amish life worthwhile, but you'll soon see that living the simple life is the way to go. So if you're ready to be a member of the Amish community, turn in your contemporary clothes and we'll give you this ensemble that will allow you to fit right in with the Lancaster County residents!Product DetailsThis Amish Prairie Woman costume is so cute that you won't mind giving up your trendy jeans and midriff-bearing crop tops for a long dress and apron. This calf-length blue dress has a tie around the collar and ties on both sleeves. The white apron ties around the waist and matches the included bonnet that will easily fit over you classic bun hairstyle. Remember to wear some long black socks and some reliable shoes because you'll want to be comfortable while you ride in a traditional buggy on your way to church!
A Normal FantasyIt started off like any other day: You tidied up your cottage, spun some on your spinning wheel, fed your animals, and headed to your garden to pluck any troublesome weeds. But as you labored over a particularly stubborn weed, you heard it: the warning bell. Something terrible was coming. Before you could run back into the safety of your cottage, a shadow fell across your garden. You looked up, horror welling up inside you—it was a dragon! You tried to run, but it swooped down from the sky and grabbed you in its talons, hauling you hundreds of feet in the air. All you could do was scream for help.Thankfully, your screams caught the attention of a nearby knight, and he raced to your rescue. You could see him galloping on his noble steed, following you to the dragon’s lair. Relief washed over you as one thought overrode all others:“Thank goodness I wore my good dress today.”Product DetailsObviously, it would never do to be rescued looking like a farmer! When you’re a damsel in distress, you’ve got to look your best when your knight in shining armor arrives. That’s why we recommend always stepping out in this Womens Medieval Maiden Costume. The scarlet pullover dress has a cape attached at the shoulder seams, metallic gold braid trim and puffed sleeves, along with a scoop neckline with a ruffled elastic edge and a plastic gold filigree pin with an faux oval gem at the center. It also comes with a foam headpiece that ties around the head with a gold braid.No matter what medieval monster you find yourself facing, this dress guarantees you’ll always look your best!
Beauty of the NileWho was the real power in the ancient world? Julius Caeser or Marc Antony? Please. They were men. They had some successful campaigns, but so did another highly acclaimed ruler of their time. Plus, this particular ruler had a huge advantage: Personal style. Dazzling the masses and impressing your subjects is an important part of keeping the throne. And let's be honest: A sweeping gown is much more impressive than a boring old toga. Product DetailsBegin your glittering reign when you wear your exclusive Plus Size Queen Cleopatra Costume for Women! The sleeveless dress has a bodice made of shimmery gold faux linen. Center ruching accents the flattering V neckline and continues down the hips as the bodice forms a gently draped overskirt that parts in the middle to reveal the long metallic knit underskirt. A foam-backed belt with a front drape secures around your waist, and a semi-sheer metallic knit cape fastens around your shoulders via a gold faux leather collar. Crown your costume with the golden faux leather headband! Your Majesty Is Cleopatra #goals? Definitely! It's true that she did defeat her own brother in battle and pull some underhanded tricks, but that's just "making tough decisions." She's a smart and strategic general in her own right whose reign is not to be underestimated. The only thing she wasn't exactly great about is keeping her distance from snakes. Make sure you don't get too close to anyone wearing a serpent outfit this Halloween!

Ready for the Tourney The duty of a squire is to ensure that their knight is always prepared for anything that they need. That means securing their armor when they are setting out, shining up their horse's shoes after a long day's work, and making sure that their weapons are always at the ready.

An Eagle's VisionYou don't need a pilot's license to rock some pilot gear! The pilot has a lot of iconic accessories. The leather, fleece lined jacket is one, especially when it has fuzzy lapels, too. The tight leather piloting helmet is another great costume accessory that comes from history. Then, of course, there are the googles. Not all planes are huge 747s! Some little biplanes don't even have enclosed cockpits, so their pilots need to protect their vision. No matter what costume you are planning, we think you'll find some great uses for these Pink & Black Radioactive Aviator Goggles!Product DetailsThese goggles are not your standard brown and brass item. No, these have an extra stylish flair! The chrome around the eye pieces is a metallic pink, and even the lenses have a pink tint to them. The lining of the goggles is black and features some foam to keep the fit comfortable all night long. The strap that goes around the head is also adjustable for ideal comfort. Are you dressing as a pilot with unique style? Perhaps a spaceship pilot, even? Or are you looking to go steampunk? These goggles will work with all of those options, and more!
Beyond CaptainWhy settle for captain? When people talk about colonial age pirate costumes, everyone always talks about being a captain. That's great and all, but why not shoot for higher? There are higher ranks than captain, so maybe it's time to aim for admiral! After all, an admiral gets to command a whole fleet of ships instead of just one.Well, you know what they always say! You need to dress for the job you want, not the job that you have right now. So, if you want to be the admiral of a fleet of ships, then you need to get yourself a snazzy admiral's hat. That's where this Admiral Bicorn Hat comes into play. It has a classic look that will have you ready to command!Product DetailsThis adult bicorn hat recreates the iconic style worn by admirals during the colonial period. It has gold accents and a red and blue emblem on the side of the hat. Just place it on your head and you'll be ready to command your fleet into battle! The hat also looks great with a variety of our historical costumes, so be sure to check them out to craft the perfect look!
Sam Adams had enough on his hands in day-to-day colonial America, and with the prospect of a revolution, he had a pretty full plate. Luckily he knew a certain silversmith who had the tools to get the job done.He may not be a silversmith, but you kiddo is a major history buff--it’s by far his favorite school subject. So if he’s starting to think that there's a revolution brewing--or if he just likes to be the first to know everything--he'll have a great time in this Child Paul Revere Costume. With this perfected period look, your “son of liberty” won't have any problem signaling that the British are coming and saving everyone from harm. He’ll be so stately, strutting around your abode and proclaiming left and right, riding his “horse” with the wind through the backyard, sending signals by flashlight to his best bud across the street--one blink if they’ll meet at the park tomorrow (land); two blinks if they’ll meet at the pool (sea). He’s clever, your little patriot. And who wouldn’t heed his warnings? He looks so dapper, so dependable, so...well...revolutionary! This costume comes complete with a jacket and vest combo, knee pants, even a cravat and and the iconic hat! Give him some big buckle shoes, a pair of knee socks, and dig up that lantern out of the garage. Just a final hint of advice from us, though: lock up the tea cabinet…

She sounds like a real Rosie the Riveter type! So, when her teacher needs to rally the troops for the annual bake sale, it's no surprise she's asked your girl to lend a helping hand.

If you don't have time to be marooned on the coast of a jungle for twenty-ish years in order to grow out your hair, this wig has you covered.
Great in Gorgon Green Medusa was pretty much a starlet even back when. A ton of tales suggest she might have been gorgeous enough to make Aphrodite jealous and others depict her as a literal goddess whose archery could put Artemis to shame. But the thing that strikes us the most is the perfect way she could blend green and gold to create a fashion statement that stunned folks into still silence.

Funny how the myths make Medusa into a monster!)Design & Details Dazzle the crowds and make sure stories are told for generations to come by wearing this Medusa Wig for girls.

Getting by in Colonial times was much tougher than it is today, but those settlers did what they had to do to make new lives for themselves. If you have a daughter who just can't get enough American history, this Colonial Lady Costume is her chance to step into the role of a pioneer girl!A colonist's day started long before the sun came up. These days, breakfast can be served up in just a couple of minutes, but back then you had to milk the cow, build fires to cook on, make bread dough from scratch, collect eggs, and the list goes on. And then, once everyone was fed and the dishes were done, it was time to start the real work! Baking, cleaning, sewing, helping to raise children, farming. We're exhausted just thinking about it, and the hardest thing we've done today was wait five minutes for our morning latte!

The Ancient Greeks certainly had style nailed down. Nobility! Finery! Passionate and powerful gods! Nights of wild boasting and debauchery! Whether you have ambitions of high society and the delightful antics that might accompany them or grand designs for a place among the ancient gods, there is certainly one thing that holds true: you must look the part. Our modern day has well remembered this and stolen what we can of the ancient times. You’ve heard of the epic toga parties, no doubt? Well, they might brush against some of the style, but they’re still missing the class!But, take that ancient toga and add in a bit of refinement, some properly placed golden sashes, and a pose that is ready to command whole legions and you quickly are finding yourself in the territory of the divine, whether you are a mortal, yet powerful queen of many or have ascended into the highest peaks of Mount Olympus to claim one of the golden thrones as a goddess. The trouble is figuring which you’d prefer. It seems like a silly question: queen or goddess? Who would possibly choose to give up godhood!? But, those ancient Greek gods are a tough lot! Constantly fighting over even minor things and getting themselves into a ton of trouble. Maybe it’d be easier to simply have to deal with mortal affairs!The choice can be yours with this Spartan Queen costume. Don’t let the name fool you, because this backless white halter-style dress could be divine just on its own! But, add a ribbon band below the bust with golden detailing, another at your waist, and then a swath of crisscrossing gleaming white fabric over a floor-length skirt and you have a gown that breaks the confines of time itself. Choose the right accessories, including a goddess wig, golden armbands, or a gold leaf circlet and you could tell Zeus it is time to step down and let reign the first Goddess Queen!
Is your daughter a strong leader? When it comes to recess is she the one who organizes the races or decides what that group is going to pretend that day? Maybe she's always volunteering to read in class or bringing that science project to the next level. However she uses her leadership skills, you know that she could do anything, even lead a nation. When she was eighteen years old Cleopatra was put on the throne alongside her ten-year-old brother. She enjoyed a couple of years of power but when she got older her brother banished her. After that she probably let things go, right? Ha! Nope. She had some servants roll her up in a carpet and sneak her back into the palace when her brother was having a visitor, Caesar, you know, the super famous leader? Yep, so she meets up in secret with this guy who had a much larger army than her brother and convinces the guy that she should be the one on the throne. How's that for leadership? She might have been wearing a costume very similar to this when she enrolled herself from the tapestry. She would probably have been wearing a golden light weight dress and the traditional Egyptian golden collar and belt. With the undeniable stance of a Queen and her legendary diplomatic skills, it's no wonder that Caesar sided with the celebrated Cleopatra. When your little girl dresses up as this mighty queen she's sure to feel as powerful as that immortal heroine that ruled in 51BC. Maybe she's dressing up for a school project or maybe she wants an imperial Halloween costume this year, either way, this Cleopatra Halloween costume is sure to support her leadership aspirations. She knows better than anyone, that a queen doesn't follow the crowd, the crowd follows you.

There can't be too many things in life that are better than being a pilot! You get paid to fly, you travel for free, and you get to skip all the waiting around in an airport!

Through the infamous London Fogs you would go and burst out of the dark smog into the clear blue skies, quite the wonder it would be.

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.
You got to hand it to Hermes, this guy was made of quick stuff! He had wings on his helmet, he had wings on his shoes, he even had wings on his staff! This guy was made for speed. Because of his ability to fly fast and far, the gods of Olympus hired him on as living instant messenger between the gods and mortals. This fast fellow used all that responsibility he got to cause a lot of mischief on Olympus. Lucky for him he was quick on his feet and rarely got into a bind he couldn't get out of. Who wouldn't want the ability to cause mischief and escape the consequences? Although, some of us probably have younger siblings that have somehow acquired that ability. If you want to be a Greek God this Halloween or for a future toga party, this winged makes for an instantly recognizable character. You'll have so much fun, the night will fly by!
Hear ye, hear ye! Everyone in the kingdom is invited to attend the spring faire, where knights mingle with shopkeepers and jugglers entertain ladies in waiting. Try one of the delicious fruit pies for sale, or browse merchants’ wares to find the perfect present for your lady love. If you’re more daring, you can enter one of the jousting tournaments. Or, perhaps you’d rather laugh along with the hilarious court jester as he makes a fool out of the king himself. For one day, everyone across the kingdom is equal. Anyone can win the jousting pendant. Anyone can catch the king’s eye. And anyone can be crowned Queen of the Faire.That’s where your little girl comes in. She’s already a princess in your eyes, and you just know she’ll win the judges’ favor with her beauty and sweet charm. Of course, the right outfit doesn’t hurt. So help her along with this Toddler Renaissance Maiden Costume, which comes with a beautifully patterned outer layer (easily fastened with the aid of Hook and Loop fastener) and a comfortable cotton under layer. Puffed sleeves and a matching ruffled petticoat offer an extra layer of cuteness, while the black criss-cross on the front adds to the costume’s authenticity.If your little princess doesn’t win the crown while wearing the Toddler Renaissance Maiden Costume, you’ll know the contest was rigged. But it won’t really matter—she’ll still feel like a princess. And she’ll be able to feel that way whenever she wears this costume, whether she’s hosting a tea party for her stuffed animals or taking a much needed nap.
Look, man…we’ve all been through our share of break-ups, alright? And we’ve all done the thing where we’ve started dating someone and things were going pretty okay in the beginning, but then it got really serious really fast and we kind of wanted to get out of there, but we didn’t really know how to do it, so we kind of just let it keep going for way longer than we should have, and then by the end we were so done with that person and the relationship that we were pretty sucky in the way we dumped them.It’s happens! Luckily for us, we’ve learned from the error of our ways and now we’re pretty good about doing the “Hey, we had a great time, but this just isn’t working out for us” talk face-to-face (even though it would be SO MUCH EASIER to just do it over text or ghost out), But you, friend, kind of need to take a good, hard look in the mirror and figure out if the way you’re ending things with your former flames isn’t just a lil’ severe. What we mean is…is it really necessary to behead every lady you no longer want around? It feels pretty drastic to sentence a woman to death just because she said something she didn’t like or you decided you liked someone else better, don’t you think?And we get it - you’re the king, and you can do whatever you want, and you always look fantastic in this Plus Size King Henry VIII Costume, so it’s not like you’re wanting for female attention. And yeah, so maybe you don’t have to go the extra mile to cut things off (oh geez…pun alert!) in a nice and delicate way, but…dude, you’re starting to get a reputation. And it’s not a good one. So just..think about it, okay? Like, divorce exists!

Lightning: A Way of LifeWouldn’t life be easier if you could just solve all of your problems with lightning bolts? Rush hour traffic in your way? Just shoot a lightning bolt at those cars. House centipede crawling around in the basement? Hit it with a lightning bolt. Your phone ran out of juice? Give it a good zap with your lightning bolt. Microwave on the fritz? Just blast your frozen dinner with a lightning bolt!That’s how Zeus lives, every single day. He’s the head honcho of the pantheon of Greek gods. He doesn’t need to mess around with any half-measures and pointless dialogue to solve all of life's troubles. He just shoots a darn lightning bolt at them and all of his problems go away. What a life! Us mere mortals need to live a much more complicated life, but perhaps you can get a small taste of what it’s like to be Zeus by wearing this exclusive costume.Design & DetailsBased on the mighty Greek god, this men’s Zeus costume makes you look like an all-powerful deity. The white tunic top is reminiscent of the garb worn by ancient Greeks. It even has gold accents along the bottom for a truly regal look. The belt has gold designs on it and matches the gold accents on the tunic. The drape is a shimmering gold color and can be tucked into the belt. A pair of gold gauntlets fit around the wrists, but the true coup de grace of this outfit is the crown, which will sit atop your head to make you feel like the king of all Greek gods!Lightning Doesn't Solve Every ProblemThis Zeus costume won’t actually give you the power to shoot lightning bolts at your problems. It will, however, help you feel like one mighty being. Just make sure you behave while wearing this outfit. Queen Hera will have her eye on you! Her wrath is one problem that even Zeus' lightning bolts can't solve.
King of the Wild FrontierAre you ready to head into the wild west? As long as you steer clear of the most dangerous and unpredictable beasts in this unchartered region, you should be fine. What's that beast? Mankind of course! They're a tricky kind of animal. The other animals are easier to get along with. Lions, tigers, bears... Davey had it all under control. Fighting a cougar is no problem at all. No tricks, no deceptions. Give him a penknife and cougars better beware! Davey even killed a bear when he was three. Sad, but we're sure the bear deserved it. It probably stole one too many picnic baskets. Those were a valuable asset back in the day! And sure, if you really push him he'll deal with the most dangerous animal out there. He actually took his buckskins to Congress to serve a spell "fixin' up the Government and laws". No wonder he was crowned king of the wild frontier, this man's got skills!Product Details & DesignEmbrace the old West with this wild Made by Us costume.

May Day MagicLife in the Medieval Era was never easy. People worked hard, ate what and when they could, and spent winters huddled around smokey fires. So when it was time to let loose, they did it with great joy. They piped away on their flutes and danced with flowers in their hair. May Day is a well-known Medieval festival. It was a springtime festival devoted to Mary. People spent the day dancing around a maypole and taking in the fresh spring warmth. In June, people celebrated Midsummer Eve with large fires and troupes of mummers. People might have worked hard in the Medieval Era but that doesn't mean they didn't know how to have fun.

Zeus on the LooseLife is never boring when you're Zeus! Don't believe us? Well, check out this brief history of the Greek god! When he was born, his Titan father, Cronus, decided to eat him because he thought Zeus might grow up to overthrow him. Well, Rhea, Zeus' mother, didn't approve. She fed Cronus a rock (he wasn't too bright for a Titan) and he went on his merry way, thinking that he had eaten his own child. Of course, Rhea raised Zeus in secret, and he got pretty bent out of shape when he grew up... so, he ended up overthrowing Cronus. After that, Zeus decided to live life like one big party!

A Modern MonarchSome styles last an age. Others keep coming around even after a century. That's clearly the case of the enigmatic Cleopatra. Much about the last active ruler of Ancient Egypt has fallen to myth, from the clever ploys she calculated to the ultimate manner of her demise. But one of the things that is talked about the most is how she was a woman that knew how to intimidate simply with a glance.That was probably mostly from the power she commanded and the quick wit she had mastered, but many of the stories also speak to her sense of style. The elegant garments. The perfect pose. And let's never forget the shining head of hair she sported, too! A couple thousand years later, we're still captivated and now it is your turn!Design & Details Command all the B.C. beauty you'd like with this exclusive Queen Cleopatra Black Wig.

Rich black synthetic hair styled with a straight, shoulder-length cut flows from the cap, accented by rows of gold beads that decorate each side at your neck. Combine this with a Cleopatra costume or goddess-themed garb for a truly complete look!

Wow, that's great—what a kid. But none of us can achieve all that at the flip of a turkey leg, you know?We all have to start somewhere, and it's a noble thing to recognize that earlier rather than later.

A Little Home on the Open PlainsLife for early settlers could be challenging. Sometimes, they lived in sod houses that literally started out as holes in the ground! They had dirt for floors and dirt for ceilings, and there was no indoor plumbing. They had to grow and hunt almost all of their own food, and they could get snowed in during blizzards for weeks at a time. (Talk about going stir crazy!) Farming was even more difficult 150 years ago than it is today, since they didn't have tractors or other modern machinery. And it could take hours to get to the nearest town, since they didn't have cars and had to rely on cranky mules or horses.But there was still some fun despite all the hard work. Settler kids got to play exciting games like "Who Has the Button?", where one kid would guess which other kid in the group had a button, and "Cat's Cradle," where they used string to make shapes. Okay, maybe those aren't the most exciting games... But they also got to wear really cute pioneer dresses!Product DetailsWhether she's out on the prairie, on the banks of Plum Creek, in the Big Woods or on the shores of Silver Lake, your little settler will feel right at home in this Girl's Red Frontier Settler Costume.

The costume comes with a brown checkered bonnet that has a stiffened brim, elastic at the back and same-fabric chin ties.A Pretty PioneerWith this Girl's Red Frontier Settler Costume, your little pioneer will be ready to rule her one-room school house and always take first place at every game involving a piece of string!
Hey there, warrior! Have you been trying to get yourself inside the Colosseum for a spot of combat? Well, then you'd better not charge into there without a weapon! After all, they're going to throw every kind of mean-faced gladiator and ferocious lions at you, so you'd better come prepared with a solid game plan of kicking butt with a super awesome historical weapon. That's where this Roman Gladius Sword comes in!This toy weapon looks just like the one wielded by various fighters from Ancient Rome. Of course, it's made out of plastic, since we really can't just sell you dangerous weaponry (it's a liability thing). This toy sword does, however, come with a highly realistic look that should be enough to scare any gladiator or lion in the ring. Of course, you could always use it for LARPing too, since we're huge supporters of any activity that involves pretend fighting against giant cyclops monsters. Whatever you decide to use it for, you'll be sure to look like the toughest warrior around!
Did you know that the word "laureate," is a noun, used to describe someone who has achieved distinction? Neither did we! Thank god for Google! So, here's what we found out, ''laureate'', comes from the ancient custom of crowning winners of athletic competitions with a wreath made from leaves of the bay laurel tree! Pretty cool, right? Well, we thought so, and now we have this Laurel Leaf Headband available for you to place upon your crown and let others know you are, in fact, a champion. This accessory lets you become the laureate at your costume event. Even if you haven't won anything lately, you will still have achieved distinction in how good you look, compared to the rest of the party. If anyone asks and just has to know where you found this beautiful headband, make sure you let them know it was awarded to you by the gods, for your many accomplishments in life! Now, if they get curious as to what those amazing feats are, we would just suggest you subtly change the subject as soon as possible. Anyways, if you are planning to sport a Greek/Roman costume, or even just an athletic costume be sure to add this Laurel Leaf Headband and help your costume achieve a distinct look!
I Cannot Tell a LieAre you ready to help your little dude learn about the first president of the new United States, George Washington? Has your little guy already read the biographies? Does he often dream of marching with minutemen in funny uniforms? Or does he simply appreciate history? We have a thing or two for him, then! It’s one of those funny uniforms! In fact, it’s an entire ensemble: a jacket with an attached vest, pantaloons, a scarf, and, of course, the iconic tricorn hat.Design & DetailsSynonymous with Revolutionary War-era style, few know it was borne out of mere practicality. In rainy weather, it both protected the person’s face and funneled water out of the back, over one’s shoulders. While raingear has evolved quite a lot since then, you can still procure this signature style with our exclusive Colonial Kid’s Costume. Because it’s one of our Made By Us costumes, you can sleep well knowing that each stitch was tended to with care, much like the early colonial farms. The fabrics are faux suede and satin and the jacket comes equipped with decorative buttons at the center-front and two false pocket flaps. The pants come with a neat elastic waistband and cuffs that end just below the knees. And finally, we put a wire in the tricorn hat’s brim edge to maintain shape. Doesn’t that sound nice? We think George Washington would be proud. Who knows what will happen. Maybe it will be the first step in a long journey toward the United States presidency!
Domine Dirige NosAre you the kind of person who would fight with honor, honesty, valor, and loyalty? Would you protect the weak, and defenseless? How about eschew unfairness, meanness, and deceit? The kind of person who would speak the truth at all times? Yeah? Well then, you might have what it takes to be a knight.In the time of knights and kings, when matters of state were dealt with on the battlefield not in the House of Representatives, there needed to be something to keep knights from going rogue. From using their power to overthrow the king, or suppress their subjects. And that was the Code of Chivalry. Oddly enough, this is also where we get the idea of never turning your back on your enemy.As we have already established you have the integrity of a knight. But do you have the attire? No? Well this Men's Medieval Knight Costume will help people identify you as the knight in shining armor you are. You would be willing to stand up for those who can't stand up for themselves. Help orphans, and widows. You are just a good guy. And people should know that. They should know that you would pick up your sword to defend your King, and your subjects. You would lay down your life in honorable battle for the good of the Kingdom.Lord direct us
Colonial Etiquette 101Before regular baths, indoor lighting, and other modern niceties were available, etiquette was much more strict. Maybe this was to make people feel fancy, even while stepping through who-knows-what in the streets and picking bugs out of their wigs. For instance, children were instructed to never approach their parents without bowing first. And even then, they had to address good ol' mom and dad as sir or madam!George Washington transcribed party fouls such as, "lift not one eyebrow higher than the other" and "it is bad manners to cross your legs." Honestly, we're not sure if he'd be cool with our conversation style. Still, all judgment aside, it's good to know how to act while wearing this Colonial Costume. And if someone catches you raising an eyebrow, perhaps they'll let you get away with it due to your dapper duds!Design & DetailsThis high-quality Made By Us faux suede ensemble will have you thanking your lucky stars for modern conveniences such as mirrors and cameras because it would be a shame if you couldn't take in your colonial splendor! The brown vest panels are attached to the jacket so that getting dressed is a snap. Add your own white collared shirt and tie the satin neck scarf as you see fit! Topped off with a tricorn hat, your historic costume will look spiffy in 1700's style as soon as it's out of the bag!Revving for RevolutionOnce you're in this costume, you'll almost feel ready to take up your quill and pen a strongly worded letter to King George! Just add a pair of knee-high socks that you can tuck into your pantaloons, a pair of pilgrim shoes, and maybe even a wig if you're feeling fancy. Once you're suited up, who knows what will happen! Just be sure and take a few rules from George Washington's notes and keep those legs uncrossed!
