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!
A Different Kind of Spin ClassWhen Jenny showed up for Colonial Spin Class, she was shocked. Where were the bikes? Why was everyone wearing full-length dresses instead of yoga pants? While Jenny didn't get the full-body workout she came for, she was blown away by how fun it was to sit at a spinning wheel and make yarn while catching up on pre-revolutionary gossip. What was Goody Tailor thinking wearing scarlet to Sunday services? The Johnsons purchased yet another ox and haven't even sold their wheat crop yet. Captain Emanuel Downing was planning on coming to the country dance to the excitement of every unmarried young lady in town! At the end of the two-hour class, Jenny had decided that she was definitely going to return. Next time, though, she was going to be dressed for the occasion!Design & DetailsThis historic costume was designed by our in house creative team. Since it's Made By Us, it's been designed with longevity in mind, making it a great pick for theaters, schools, and history enthusiasts who want to dress up again and again. The lovely pink floor-length gown has buttons down the front of the bodice, a modest square neckline trimmed in ruffles, and a crisp off-white apron attached to the waistline. The three-quarter sleeves bring a little of the 1700s to life while the bonnet and shawl will make you ready to stroll into the town square, or spinning class, whatever suits you best!Cottage CoreJenny knows what to expect when she shows up to Colonial Spin Class now and while she wears a full-length dress in the morning while she's at the wheel, she's convinced her historical-enthusiast friends to join her later in the day for a little open-air yoga in the meadow. Talk about the best of both worlds!

This elegant and ethereal Ancient Roman Empress Costume is an ideal look for your resident young historian and lover of all of life’s finer things.

We didn’t think so…) But you also may not know that the female figures of ancient times were not “all beauty and no brains”--nope. These wives of emperors, women of status, and of course, the goddesses, were all powerful people in their own right--just like your little girl!So it's high time to crown her the goddess of Halloween and empress of your living room, letting her live out her destiny in this pretty costume.

Becoming a totally sweet Norse Valkyrie isn't easy, nor should it be. Because teaming up with Odin to carry the chosen warriors to the gates of Valhalla is a pretty important task. Asgard aside, maybe you'd like to try and replicate their mythological style for a little costume fun.

Rebel with a CauseNot every rebel needs a cause. They disobey the natural order for no real reason at all! Just ask James Dean about that one! But your girl, she's different. She wants to right the wrongs of the world! She wants to fight against all of the evil "Sheriff Nottinghams" of the world. She wants to steal from the rich and give to the poor.

Well, your girl may just be ready to become the hero that the poor and downtrodden need! With this Girls Robin Hood Costume, your girl can assume the role of the legendary thief and archer!Design & DetailsOur costume designers love the legend of Robin Hood! After all, he was the perfect example of an outlaw who breaks the rules for all of the right reasons. They studied classic illustrations of the character and tried to capture the look, while also adding modern sensibilities to create this Girl's Robin Hood Costume. The costume comes with a white top, with a faux leather corset with a lace-up front. The belt comes with a small, faux leather quiver to help your young rebel carry some spare arrows (or her phone if she's taking a break from winning archery competitions). The included gauntlets are also made out of faux leather material to continue the Medieval style. The forest green leggings complement the faux leather style of the rest of the outfit and the included hood adds the finishing touch to the costume!Hitting the TargetIf your child is ready to rebel against tyranny, or if she just wants a look that will hit the mark at her next costume, then our Robin Hood Costume for girls is right on target!

Luxurious FameWhile Frederick Douglass certainly didn't have anything even approaching a great early life, becoming the literal face of change in a time of many wrongs is an accomplishment like no other! And, looking fantastic while moving the moment forward only helped to change the tides of history!Naturally, his tasks and words are by far the greater force of Frederick Douglass' memory, but none can deny that the wise, aged look of the African American writer, poet, orator, activist, and preacher help to keep him at the forefront of history even today.Product DetailsChannel the look of the early American boat-rocker with this Frederick Douglass Wig and Goatee set.

Frederick Douglass remains the inspiration for all of them and you can channel that same take-no-nonsense wisdom with this wig and goatee set!
Legend of the Jungle When you travel to the rainforest, keep your senses alert. If you're lucky, you may discover for yourself whether the rumors are true. For years, sailors and travelers have returned with amazing stories about a survivor who has lived among the wild animals with such skill that they have accepted him as one of their own. He occasionally makes contact with his fellow humans, but has no desire to return to civilization, with the exception of an awesome Halloween party. Product DetailsEmbrace your wild side with an exclusive Adult Jungle Man Plus Size Costume! The jungle is no place for a three-piece suit, which is why the brown loincloth with its longer front and back pieces is your best option. Unlike previous jungle men's attire, this loincloth comes with a pair of briefs, which is much more convenient when you're swinging through the treetop vines. The pair of brown fabric arm bands are decorated with brown cords strung with blue beads. Goodbye, CivilizationIf you're desperate to leave the rat race behind for a while, may we suggest an entire career change? The jungle is calling! It might be an adjustment at first as you learn to start your own fires and communicate with the gorillas, but you'll be free to do whatever you want with the rest of your time. And sure, there aren't any coffee shops or showers where you are, but there also aren't any grocery store lines or traffic jams, so maybe it's an even trade.
Prospecting may sound like a hard life, but it’s actually the best existence you could ever imagine. First of all, you get to be all by yourself every day. No crabby drones from HR leaning over your shoulder, no having to sign Jenny’s birthday card, no mandatory productivity meetings. It’s just you, your pickaxe, and the buzzards circling around you in the sky. You get unlimited access to heavy explosives, firearms, whiskey, and beef jerky, so you’ll never be bored. And whatever you’re prospecting for, whether it’s oil, gold, or whatever else it is that people prospect for, is going to make you a millionaire if you ever find it.Also, no more long hours stewing in an uncomfortable car just to get to work. When you prospect, at the end of every day you build a campfire, eat beans, pitch a tent, get your seven hours, and when you wake up you’re already right next to the hole you’ve been digging alone for seven months. Doesn’t that just sound like a little slice of heaven?Our Prospector Costume comes with the rugged shirt, hat, and bandana you need to really look like you haven’t seen another soul for years (not counting coyotes). Match this up with a grizzly beard, fake dynamite, and any other number of Western-themed accessories and everyone you meet will feel like they’re the ones who struck gold -- just by running into you!
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!

She of the Ointment JarBastet was known as an intensely fierce cat goddess that was in charge of defending the pharaoh. While her name translates to, "she of the ointment jar", she doesn't actually have anything to do with cold cream. This fierce lion goddess has been around for about four-thousand years. Bastet's symbols decorated both the pharaoh's chambers as well as the jewelry of mothers and women who wanted to be mother's. The idea was, like a house cat, she would be tender to her young and fierce to anyone who might threaten those under her care. She sounds like a goddess we wouldn't mind having around!Details & DesignMake sure Bastet has your back when you dress up in an Egyptian costume this Halloween. This plush black and gold cat is Made by Us meaning it has little details added by our in-house designers like the dignified striped ears and intelligent face. The body has a zipper on the back so you can carry your belongings without interrupting the ancient theme of your look. The pretty paws are circled with the fourteen-inch tail and the long chain slings over your shoulder for a comfortable look that you can carry around all nightAdaptable ArtifactsMake sure your belongings stay close at hand when you put them in the hands of the fierce goddess, Bastet. After all, when you're proudly walking into the room as Nefertiti or Cleopatra, you need a goddess to back up your authority. So throw the gold chain over your shoulder to let everyone know you're not "kitten" around!
There's only one way to look like a million bucks. You have to wear an outfit that looks like you had to have spent a million bucks on it.

We'd much rather outfit them with a fantastic costume. No matter what your life is, we promise hat this hat will get your look to at least a solid 500,000 dollars, guaranteed. How'd that for a start?

LITTLE SISTER GOES BIGTIMEThe myth of the Gorgons goes largely unknown by many, despite the fact that just about everyone has heard of Medusa. Did you know that Medusa is just one sister among a trio? She's the youngest gal of the three serpent-haired and cursed aquatic sisters who could turn mortals to stone with just a gaze. While Stheno and Euryale might have been immortal, it was only Medusa that made the history books! Talk about a little sister with things to do. Unfortunately, the youngest Gorgon sister doesn't have much happiness to her tale. Cursed by Athena for no good reason, Medusa became a horrible monster that everyone feared... at least until another demigod showed up with a whole bunch of blessed divine artifacts and beheaded her! Of course, we're talking about a time of magic and mystery. And now is the time to rewrite some of that story! DESIGN & DETAILSDespite it being really tough to create a design based off a gal that is impossible to look at, our designers have worked a miracle and created this legendary look. Our exclusive Deluxe Medusa Costume is 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. Pick up a serpent wig or detailed bow and take your revenge on Perseus and Athena! A PETRIFYING POSEWhen 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 Medusa Costume.
Everyone knows about Jack the Ripper, and even if you're somehow just hearing about him for the very first time, you can probably deduce from his colorful nickname that he wasn't a good dude. It's also said that the infamous serial killer was never caught, which could mean he died without ever being punished for his brutal crimes. Or, it could mean that somehow, The Ripper is still out there...Nah, we're just messing with ya! Jack hasn't been heard from in over a century, so it's pretty safe to say he's long gone. But as grotesque as his acts were, he did have a certain fiendish flair that could only be found in Victorian Era London, don't you think? You can add some of that menacing style to your own Halloween outings in this spooky Jack the Ripper Costume, but we must warn you, this outfit is not for the timid. You may find yourself feeling unusually wicked while dressed in this dark ensemble, and prone to playing tricks on your friends. You might start sneaking around in the shadows, and leaving cryptically creepy notes for people to find, which could make everyone think that old Jack's back on the prowl!We wouldn't worry too much though, since we haven't heard of anyone picking up any of Jack's deadlier “hobbies” while wearing this costume. This black faux suede outfit will have you looking like a classic Victorian gentleman with a sinister secret, while the red trim featured on the vest and cloak matches the included jabot, and hints at your devilish side. Your diabolical style will be as notorious as the slasher that made it famous!
Back in the day, taverns weren't just cozy bars with quaint names, they were rough and tumble places! And that's why every tavern needed a fair maiden. She'd be there not only to sweep up the filth-strewn straw and collect the silver for the drinks but to add an air of civility to the atmosphere. She'd encourage people to sing a distracting ditty before two burly knights could challenge one another to a duel over who got to sit on the stool with four legs. She'd usher the local well-loved outlaw out the back door just as the Sherrif sauntered in. This is all to say, the simple tavern maiden is the Meddeival diplomat!You'll look the part when you're wearing this sassy costume. Perfect for plays, Rennaissance fairs, and costume parties alike, this costume is the perfect balance of sweet and salty! The skirt has two layers with an olive green and maroon striped underlayer and a fresh green overskirt that hits at mid leg. The included black belt can cinch up your skirt for easy manuvering. Your look is topped with the off-shoulder peasant blouse and faux leather corset with cream-colored ribbons. Whether you're serving nobles and peasants, we're sure that they'll appreciate your perfect pours. Par this look with a beer stein and wig to make your transformation complete. You'll be glad you outfitted yourself with this classic look at the Renaissance festival or for your next costumed event. Just remember, you're an essential part of the tavern experience!
Got Moxie?It takes a lot of moxie to run a saloon in the Wild West. If those old spaghetti western movies have taught us anything, it’s that you never know what kind of character is going to walk through the door to order a drink. Will it be dashing, heroic cowboy, or will it be some kind of villainous thug that needs to be taught a lesson? If you plan on owning the saloon, then you’d better know how to deal with both kinds of characters and you’d definitely better be dressed for success in the old west! After all, you can’t always count on the sheriff to solve your problems and you’re not the kind of girl who’s going to take any guff from rowdy cowboys!Yes, you need attitude and style if you want to keep all those rowdy cowboys in check.

Just make sure to pair it up with some cowgirl boots and some fishnet stockings to get the complete look.Saloon ShenanigansWhen you slip into this women’s plus size costume, you’ll feel ready for any kind of saloon shenanigans that happen at your next costume party!
Dauphin DudsMany know Louis the 16th as one of the most famous of the French kings. In fact, he was the last king of France! The details around the end of his monarchy aren't particularly fun to recall but many forget that it started at a pretty young age. He was never expected to become the king since he was the second born. That let him focus on learning everything from Latin to astronomy. But to everyone's surprise, fate set him on the road to becoming the king when he was only eleven! That meant it was time to really freshen up his style and get his noble brow ready for the crown. Design & Details If you've got a little prince of your own who is destined for glory, this Louis XVI costume for kids is just the thing to get them ready. This is a Made By Us ensemble put together by our own court of in-house designers. The costume begins with a light jacket with golden trim and capris pants with an elastic waist. The gold vest has rich-looking faux buttons and the jabot is made of puffy chiffon that fastens with hook and loops around the neck. That's really all you'll need for your kiddo to feel kingly, but you can add a pomp wig or royal accessories to make any monarch magnificent!

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.
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. The costume is styled to look like a brown overcoat over a plaid dress, but it's actually just a one-piece combo to make for an easy costume experience. 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. And if you need costumes for more famous figures from history, be sure to check out our entire selection of costumes to re-tell other important stories from the past.
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!
LITTLE MISS CLEOFolks are always talking about how great it might be to be the king, but all a person gets to rule in that scenario is one little kingdom. Sure, that might seem like loads of power and fame, but how many kings really stand out over the centuries. Heck, half of them even just number their names. Who wants to be the eighth Henry, after all? No, if anyone wants to truly be remembered, they need to be much more than that!Who else but Cleopatra is better known and held more power? A dose of Greek and Egyptian... one heck of a diplomat, artist, and tactician... a Queen and the last Pharaoh? That's quite the resume for a relatively young ruler. No wonder we're still trying to learn everything we can about her! We've got a ton of details about her famous life as the Queen of the Nile. But, what about those earlier years? Kinda tough to be certain about what little Cleo was up to, unless...DESIGN & DETAILSHelp discover some of the missing threads of the story when you crown your little one as the Queen of the Nile with this exclusive costume.

Well, technically, you did get them this costume and might help them dress up in it, so they're not totally wrong. Just remind them that a good Cleopatra was always kind to her handmaids.
Kids in Ye Olde DaysCan you believe what they had to put up with back then? It’s nothing like the struggles that an average kid goes through today! Kids in the pioneer days of the American frontier had to get up early in the morning to feed the chickens. You know, before the rooster even crows! They had to help out with chores in the morning and they had to gather firewood for the winter. They had to cut down stones, plough fields, and they had to plant fields with crops. They couldn’t microwave some pizza rolls when they got hungry and they had to go to the bathroom in an outhouse. And they didn’t even have smartphone to text their friends!Well, your child is probably glad that they live in the modern age. They get access to video games and computers, but it’s never a bad idea to brush up on history to appreciate the nice things that we have today. After all, a few days without Wi-Fi is enough to make anyone recognize how great it is! Maybe this costume is a good way to introduce your young one to the ways of our past!Product DetailsThis Pioneer Boy costume gives your child a taste of what it would have been like living on the prairie. It comes with a striped shirt that has a button-up style front. The sleeve cuffs have elastic for fitting and the wide collar neatly fits the red bandana. The brown pants have a button in front and fit with suspenders for a look that will have your child ready to do some chores on the farm!Great for School Plays!You can accessorize with your own bucket and pair of boots, or just send your young pioneer child on his way. It’s also a great costume for school plays based on American history.

Okay, so maybe not everyone will obey your commands just because of a costume, but this outfit does give you a regal style that might just get a little more respect out of your subjects.

A pair of black gauntlets fit around the wrists and a neck collar with gold snake designs fits around the neck. The finishing piece to this outfit is the headpiece, which is fit for a true Pharaoh! It has gold and black stripes that perfectly frame your face in a symphony of royal colors.Once you have it on, your friends may even try to erect a pyramid in your honor! Just wish them luck, since the construction of the pyramids has been a mystery for thousands of years. (Tim from programming thinks it was aliens.)

What we do in life... echoes in eternity.So says General Maximus at the beginning of the classic Ridley Scott film, Gladiator. While that is some expertly written and memorable dialogue, we hope it's also a true statement. But we have no idea! What do we look like, metaphysicists?? We don't know what happens in eternity! But if our life echoes within it, we're glad you're taking a look at this officially licensed General Maximus costume, because it's epic enough to wear forever.The only thing we'd advise against is getting into any actual Roman battles wearing this thing. It's made of latex and not metal as it appears. That being said, you could probably frighten some barbarians with it, but we don't really recommend that either. That would require a costly trip to Germany, and also a time machine to around 180AD. That's also where you'd have to go to get the real version of this armor. Since that technology doesn't exist, we think our version is an amazing first realistic choice!Since this costume has incredible details and quality (How about that realistic armor and fur trimmed cape? It's straight out of the movie!) we think you should go to a party, wait for the exact right moment, then step up into the spotlight and give an incredible, awe-inspiring speech to all your fellow party-goers. That's what Maximus would do! You'll be remembered in poetry and song as the greatest general Rome had ever seen... to give a rousing speech while holding a red Solo cup."Brothers! What we drink tonight... will echo in our bodies tomorrow, and possibly eternity!"*drink responsibly

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.

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.
The Masterpiece SpeaksWhat was Mona Lisa thinking while DiVinci was painting her expression in oils? Was she wondering if her sister would be mad that Mona borrowed her best dress to get her portrait done? Perhaps she was plotting on her come back when her sister saw the finished product and finally realized why the gown had been missing every single Tuesday for a month. Or maybe her secret mirth was directed at the painter himself. Did DiVinci have a streak of brown paint in the middle of his face from when he itched his nose? Was there a servant in the doorway making faces as she waited to serve lunch? The thing is, we'll never know what she was thinking. Unless that is, she comes back to tell us!Product DetailsSolve the mystery and let everyone know what the mysterious Mona was thinking of by dressing up as her legendary portrait. The light-weight inflatable frame will make being framed more comfortable than ever while the portrait inside the frame leaves a hole to put your face through.

Ready for Anything The life of a gladiator is the definition of "rough and rugged." You never know what today's fight will bring you.

When America's men were off to fight "over there" the nation called on the women to put their hands to use. This gave women a taste of what it was like to have a major part of the workforce. It was a time of pride in the women's strength and smarts. It not only affected people's mindsets but it changed unpredictable things like the fashions. Instead of long, loose hair and complicated updo's woman started tying back their hair with a kerchief. It was only a short time after women were arrested if they wanted to wear trousers and now they were in factories wearing jumpsuits. So, when posters of Rosie the Riveter started popping up around the country it was a pretty revolutionary image, sponsored by the government, no less! It was the inspiration women needed to continue working hard in victory gardens, munitions factories, and salvage programming. The times might have been hard but everyone was coming together, putting aside class, to make sure their country stayed together in a time of violence and hardship. This costume includes a jumpsuit and a bandana. The jumpsuit has a collar with short sleeves and a zipper. The jumpsuit also has pockets, belt loops, and cuffed pants. The patch on the collar has the famous and inspiring tagline "We can do it". Pair this with a pair of sensible boots so you'll be ready for whatever the factories throw at you. Tie the included bandana around your head and you'll be an inspiration to the movement!

The Diligent DebaterAlexander Hamilton wasn't a fan of him. He butted heads with John Adams on many different subjects. He also liked to get into squabbles with Ben Franklin! But the American people?

Posiedon PowerDo you hate being ignored? Wouldn't it be nice to have the power to cause earthquakes whenever anyone pretended not to hear when you suggest that everyone go grab some tacos? That would teach people to ignore your carne asada cravings.Though they are old, powerful, and wise, the gods of Olympus are known for being petty. We can understand how Poseidon (or Neptune if you're Roman) would feel a little left out. Though his life was interesting, riding around the ocean floor on his chariot pulled by a team of underwater lobster-like horses called hippocampus (what's the plural of hippocampus, hippocampi?) he must have been quite lonely at times. It's said that even though he had a gorgeous palace at the bottom of the sea made of coral and gems he spent more time at Mount Olympus. Just goes to show that all the ocean-voyaging chariots and coral castles in the world can't replace family. It's easy to get ready for your Mount Olympus debut these days. You don't even have to achieve twelve labors like Hercules had to.The wonders of the internet can now endow you with all the trappings you need to become like the great Poseidon. In the dramatic golden cape and seafoam green pants, all the ships of the sea will be at your mercy. You'll look regal in the golden arm gauntlets, belt, and the goldfish scale shirt. All you need now is your golden trident to take this ensemble from dramatic to earthshaking. This Halloween those mortals won't dare ignore you. If they say no to tacos this time go ahead and make the earthquake.

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!
A Mind of Magnificence!By age 20, Leonardo da Vinci had attained the title of "Master" in Guild of Saint Luke. At age 20, we were still trying to successfully cook ramen noodles in the microwave. Yes, geniuses are just cut from a different cloth. It's safe to say that we're not quite on the level of Leo's genius, but perhaps your child is ready to take on the role! Do they seem like they're cut from a different cloth? They always have been pretty good at art for their age and perhaps you wonder what sort of masterwork inventions are brewing in their mind. Who knows! in these next few years, they might start crafting the greatest works of art that the world has ever seen... we think it might be time to get your child the outfit of a true genius!Design & DetailsThis Kid's Leonardo da Vinci Costume is one of our Made by Us designs.

It seems like most people, when asked to imagine a knight in their mind, picture a strapping man in shining armor atop a horse. We'd like to change that, and we think this girl's warrior knight costume is a great start! She'll look no worse for wear when she goes out wearing this look, ready to fight a dragon, save a steward in distress, or defend a king from invading forces. No need to worry about the chainmail...it's actually a comfortable fabric even though it looks pretty intense. So, let your daughter or granddaughter know that she too can be a fearless warrior of old this Halloween with our warrior knight costume.
What makes a knight truly evil? Well, there are a lot of things he can do. An evil knight doesn’t rescue fair maidens from vile dragons. Instead he rescues vile maidens from fair dragons. It’s a lot easier to do, and a lot more rewarding too, if you catch our drift. When an evil knight goes to the local tavern, he never tips the ale wench more than 10%. And do you know those people who take steaks from the meat department and leave them in unrefrigerated areas at the grocery store? They’re evil knights, all of them. We know so.But you can’t be an evil knight without looking the part. We’re talking black-on-black clothing, hooded robes, and skulls on everything.Also, evil knights never wear white before labor day. We personally think that last part is going to far, but we don’t want to say anything because we’re thoroughly happy not being impaled by six foot long claymores.If you’re looking for a totally metal costume, something that really says “none shall pass,” then you’ve come to the right place. Our Evil Knight Costume has the tunic, gloves, cape, and belt you need to let do-gooders know their days are numbered. So pledge your allegiance to a dark wizard, a netherworld demon, or just your plain old nasty self and get out there and start terrorizing the land!
