Nothing is too good for his royal majesty. Product DetailsThis exclusive Infant Lil Pharaoh Costume is worthy of your little one's adorable self!

Ruched blue faux suede decorates the hips, and the tunic's asymmetric hemline is edged in more rickrack trim. The cobra-decorated striped headdress fits snugly around your baby's head. The foam backed wrist bands slide easily over the hands.The Sun God Needs a NapBeing a country's exalted leader is tiring business! You have to sit through plenty of state events so that the masses can get a glimpse of your adorable self. In addition, you're still doing the all-important business of cutting teeth, discovering that your feet are attached to your body, and determining which of your fingers is most delicious. It's no wonder that Pharaoh sometimes gets really cranky and passes out on his official handlers. Fortunately, Pharaoh snuggles are some of the best in the world. Lucky the vassal who gets to minister to him!
More Souls than You can shake the Styx AtThere's a lot going on in the underworld. More souls are crossing the River Styx every day. There are plots to plan. Minions to command. And if you could just get The Fates to listen to what you have to say without interrupting what you have to say with a, "we know" than perhaps you could keep your cool. Still, Hades is the man for the job. He's got plenty of charm for a guy who hangs around the dead all day. Very little gets past him. He found out about Hercules when the chump was a simple sunspot. And if his minions had learned a little competency, perhaps he'd be the ruling leader as we speak. But no, his minions failed him, as minions often do. And while he's still simply ruling the underworld instead of sitting in a place of honor on Mount Olympus, we can't help but think that this immortal fella has still got a lot to offer! Pomegranate seeds, anyone?Product DetailsFire yourself up for Halloween when you throw on this flaming Hades costume! This Disney licensed look includes a simple tunic that fits over your head. The blue color under black drapery with skull detail is sure to make you look like you stepped right out of everyone's favorite Grecian cartoon. A fiery blue wig tops off the look, making you instantly recognizable as the scintillating, incendiary ruler of the underworld.An Immortal CastAll the characters from Hercules are so much fun, we can't help but wish we could see them together again. Grant Disney fans the wish they never knew they had when you pair up with friends to go as Meg, Hercules, and Hades for a group costume. Memories of this Halloween are sure to be immortal!
We're Not JokingFloki jokes about a lot of things. He jokes about the gods. He jokes about authority and love and war. He jokes about everything that's sacred to the Vikings. One thing that Floki doesn't joke about? He doesn't mess around when it comes to boats.When it came time to do the impossible and cross the wide sea to find a land that Ragnar and Floki weren't even sure existed, Floki was there to put his mind to the task. He not only finds the best lumber for the ships, he sees inside the trees before he even makes a cut. Sure, he's a complicated guy but when it comes to seacraft, the gods' love his boats! And to him, that's nothing to joke about. Design & DetailsOur creative team is pleased to present this licensed Vikings Floki costume. You'll look ready for battle and designing new seafaring technology in this rough and tumble look. This Made by Us look features a faux leather tunic with oversized stitching on the front and a faux leather belt around the waist.

Just to be sure to add Floki's dramatic eye makeup to make your character instantly recognizable. Now, whether you use charcoal or eyeliner is up to you!Uncharted TerritoryFinding solutions to unsolvable problems is what Floki loves best. When you step into his character, you'll need to think on your feet. Maybe you're heading out with Lagertha, Ragnar, and Bjorn Ironside or maybe you're heading out on a solo expedition. Either way, we're pretty confident you'll find adventure. Just make sure you've got a prop ax at your side. Whether you're building a ship or leading an army in battle, Floki is never unprepared!
Go West!Remember what it felt like to learn about the frontier? If you're anything like us, you learned to shop for supplies, hunt, fjord a river, and recover from dysentery (when lucky) from playing your favorite game. And now that your girl is learning all about trail life and the western frontier, it's a perfect time to share it with her!She'll love shopping for oxen, hunting deer and bison, and fixing wagon axels in this Early American Girl Costume.

This is a pretty pink dress cut in the style of the time, with slightly puffed sleeves and ruffle detailing. The apron is necessary for all the cooking and cleaning she'll be helping with on the move, and the matching pink ruffled bonnet will keep the sun out of her eyes and the bugs from her ears. Make sure she's got a sturdy pair of shoes and that she's not afraid of a little hard work! It's what this costume calls for. Stock Up NowIt's always a balance deciding how many supplies to bring at the beginning of the journey. One thing we've learned, stock up early. Maybe get two sets of these classic clothes, just in case one gets lost, or the wagon overturns, or a pack of wild dogs attacks your stores at night...like we said, you never know what will happen out here. Have fun going on this adventure again with your girl!
Angel of the BattlefieldLife as a soldier in the Civil War was pretty brutal. The conditions were awful. Any injury could be life-threatening and medical care was scant. With these dismal circumstances, it's no wonder that the capable Clara Barton was known as the angel of the battlefield! She would go out to distribute life-saving care, washing wounds, changing bandages, offering water and soup to the miserable soldiers in the muck and smoke. Her courage on the battlefield was famous. This led the way to make sure women could take on the role of battlefield nurse with an element of respect. After the war, Ms. Barton traveled to Switzerland, learning about all the good the European Red Cross was doing. She came home determined to open an American sector of The Red Cross. She worked with fellow famous friends such as Fredrick Douglas to make her vision a reality. Clara Barton continued to devote herself to life-saving medical outreach until she retired at the ripe old age of 83. We hope she got a chance to spend a few years with her feet up and a tropical drink in your hand!Design & DetailsThis historical Made By Us Clara Barton costume was designed by our in-house creative team. The floor-length blue poplin gown has a built-in petticoat and it zips up the back. A white apron with a red cross on the chest ties around your waist for a neat look. Matching white cuffs slip over the billowy sleeves for a battle field-ready look. Topped off with a white bonnet, this costume is ready for historical reenactments and costume parties, alike!History in MotionAre you ready to take on the iconic role of Clara Barton? Pair this with historical costumes such as civil war uniforms or characters such as Fredrick Douglas and you'll be ready to tell Clara Barton's epic tale!
If you're planning a toga party, historical accuracy may not be on your priority list. So you maybe don't care that historical purists would insist that there was never any such thing as a Greek toga or a women's toga or a child's toga. And this Women's Grecian Dress ISN'T a toga. If you ARE interested in historical accuracy, this costume is actually a fairly accurate representation of what a Greek woman would have worn. The only difference is that an ancient version would have been ankle-length instead of above-the-knee. But the shape, the draping and the geometric trim are realistic. For a toga, party, however, perhaps you only care that it's cute--which it is!
Punk'dLooking to get into the wild world of Steampunk? It can really seem pretty daunting. Some people are clad from head to toe in custom made gear or vintage pieces that look like they came straight from the 1890s. How's a brand new punker supposed to break into the scene? Well, it all starts with a single piece! That's right, you don't have to feel intimidated by pro Steampunkers! Even the most decked-out cosplayers need to start somewhere and maybe all you need is the right accessory to inspire your look. This Steampunk Belt for women might not seem like much, but it could just be the first piece to assembling the perfect Steampunk outfit! Pair it up with a few other accessories or some vintage pieces of your own, and you'll be on the road to becoming a Steampunk pro.Product DetailsAll it takes is one good accessory to spark the imagination! This simple belt adds a Steampunk style to any outfit. It has an adjustable buckle along with gold and faux leather pieces. The buckle itself has a very Victorian style, so you just have to strap it around your waist to get that true Steampunk feel.
Napoleon Bonaparte was well known for leading the French as a top military commander and emperor. But did you also know that he well highly regarded for bon-a-partying as well? Yup, that's right, we've heard that this guy could have fun like no other. It is reasonable to conclude that, too, given what else we know about the military master.Apparently the shorter-than-average guy felt that it was crucial that he impress everyone so that they’d all look up to him for once. All us short folks in the world understand exactly how that feels. We’re always overcompensating for not quite attaining that perfect 6’1” Adonis look that maybe we’ve aimed for. So, it should not come as any surprise that Napoleon was one heck of a bonafide party master, too!And you can see exactly what it was like in this Adult Napoleon costume when you dive into a historical throwback look. Whether you want to size up the opposition on the battlefield, or just want to survey the scene from the mezzanine level at the hottest club, you'll be able to feel like a top military commander in this detailed costume look. The red sash, award medals, and gold tasseled epaulets all create a style that commands respect. We're sure if you wear this costume to your next event, you're going to be quite the hit. And, if you aren’t, you can always pick up a few weapon accessories to make sure that your guests remember exactly who is boss! Who knows, with this fun look, you might just find a whole bunch of new recruits to join your army!
Waiting for StyleIt's easy to tire oneself of modern technology -- and style. We totally get it. Sometimes even state-of-the-art gadgets and gizmos look like cheap flashy junk. If you're the type of gal that prefers brass, gears, and leather over plastic, LCDs, and wi-fi, then this Burgundy Steampunk Hat is just the accessory you need to reinvigorate your wardrobe before your next retro adventure!What exactly makes something “steampunk?" A lot of times, it's something that you just know when you see it, but there's definitely more to making something steampunk than slapping some valves on it and putting it on board a zeppelin. It's a unique style that fuses Victorian Era fashion and sensibility with the loud, gritty, and dangerous look of the Industrial Revolution, which makes everything appear more exciting! For instance, would you want to drive your boring old car to work everyday if you could pilot a “pneumatic powered quad-wheeled auto-buggy” instead? Even though those are basically the same things, the second one sounds much cooler!Design & DetailsSame goes for this Burgundy Steampunk Hat, whose lacing, feathers, tulle wrap, and beaded details makes it nothing if not cool. The goggles have an elastic band to secure them to the hat, and the one size fits most noggins! Careful up there in the sky, adventurer -- we hear that while the tech has advanced in Steampunkland, the safety measures haven't.
What the "L"When you're a chess piece, the stakes are high. There aren't that many pieces out there on the board and all the pieces have to play their part just right. Pawns hop forward one step unless it's their first move of the game. The bishops zoom diagonally along however many squares they need to. The queen of each side is the boss of the chessboard, moving however she wants as long as she doesn't jump any squares. And the knights? Well, the knights know how to move. They move in an L shape to protect their side from any pieces that might cause trouble in their checkered kingdom. Product Details Are you ready to take on your knighthood? This headpiece allows you to break out of your "L" mold. The foam helmet has a soft top and a stiff visor textured to look like armor a jouster would wear. The faceguard fastens down the front with a strip of hook and loop fastener. A size adjuster on the interior allows this helmet to be used with different sizes and ages. Whether you're taking a seat at the round table or protecting the King on a chessboard, this helmet will allow you to take on the role of knight with confidence!
Imagine you are hard at work running your busy Renaissance-era tavern, pouring ale and slinging stew for weary travelers and local regulars. Do you picture yourself wearing an elegant gown, with pretty slippers and streamers in your hair? Or, would you rather be decked out in this Tavern Maiden Costume, and show everyone how to really have a good time?If you're like us, most of our knowledge of Renaissance times comes from faires and movies based on Shakespeare plays. These probably aren't the most historically accurate sources, but they sure paint a fun scene, and one of the staples of this scene is the humble tavern. Taverns seem to be where all the good stuff happened back then. It's where you went for food, drink, warmth, news, and to look for work. And in many taverns, there was a tough talking gal running the show. She kept things from getting too rowdy, and also made sure everyone had a drink in their hand and a room for the night. Well, if they had coin to spare, that is.This Renaissance-inspired costume is a fun way to step into the part of a tavern keeper, or many other roles from "ye olde times." The earthy and warm colored dress and corset would look right at home in an old village full of hardworking people who know how to let their hair down. Just slip on a pair of sturdy, sassy boots, and you'll be all ready to handle tonight's crowd at your imaginary tavern from earlier, or to let your imagination run wild at the Renaissance Festival!
Top historians from all over the world, even the ones who are total ninnies, can all agree to at least one fundamental academic principle: that knights are totally the coolest guys ever, even cooler than ninjas, pirates, and zombies combined. You have your Knights of Columbus, champions of charity and fundraising barbecues across the country. You have your Dark Knight, proof that the greatest superpower is money. And you have your Knights of the Round Table, saving damsels and calculating the airspeed velocity of unladen swallows around the clock.Do you have what it takes to be a knight? To wake up at the crack of dawn to practice your, horsemanship, chivalry, and head-chopping-off skills? Do you have the gumption to hunt down heretics the world over? Do you have the decency to die face down in the muck because you can’t get up thanks to the 150 pounds of plate armor you’re wearing?If you’re anything like us, definitely not. Doesn’t matter though, because all you need to live the chivalrous lifestyle nowadays is our Renaissance Coat. With this matching coat, belt, and pair of gauntlets you’ll have your look all set for any pageant, party, or role-playing event your quest can throw at you. Knaves will cower in terror as your triumphant shadow casts over them. You won’t be able to even keep track of the damsels wooed by your presence, and maybe a few crones too. It’s that potent!
Toga party!!! It's something they've shouted throughout history, from Ancient Rome (where every day was a toga party) to modern frat houses in the good old U.S. of A. Whatever time period you're into... and whether you're plotting the downfall of Julius Caesar, or just celebrating the end of the semester in classic college style... our Plus Size Men's Toga is a timeless way to dress for the occasion!The applications are pretty much limitless with this costume, and so are the personas that you can take on. Greek philosopher? Plato, Aristotle, Socrates--they all totally wore togas. Roman citizen? Togas are what they dressed up in to visit the coliseum... and pretty much everywhere else. College party animal? Yep, you guessed it. No self-respecting frat boy in the 50s and 60s partied without one of these fine tunics (trust us, we've watched a lot of movies). And let's not forget the space cults Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock ran into in basically every other episode of the original Star Trek. All of them rocked the toga like it never went out of style (and if you ask us, it didn't). It may be one of the most versatile forms of dress (and costume) that ever existed.So whatever the occasion... Halloween, campus bash, a vote in the Roman senate, space cult meeting... the toga is a great choice, not only for its wearability and style, but also for its historical street cred. Made by us, the plus size men's toga is a costume for all seasons!
Terrifying or Tempting? That dumb Poseidon. It's all his fault that you're in this pickle. You let him pick the meetup spot, but when the goddess Athena found the two of you using her private temple as a date rendezvous, did she blame the true perpetrator? Nooo. Which is why you now have snakes instead of hair. The new 'do isn't all bad, though. No one really expects you to blowdry, spray, or curl anymore so you can go with the natural (and we mean natural!) look. For another, it's surprising how versatile snakes can be. You can go for the "sultry sorceress" vibe or play up the hissing to cultivate a horrifying persona. It's your call! Product Details Your exclusive Medusa Snake Costume Accessory Kit contains everything you need to star as everyone's favorite Gorgon. Simply style your hair as desired and clip in the three cute-but-creepy snakes. Voila! Serpentine yet sweet. Everyone will want the name of your hairdresser. Snaky SeductionNow that Poseidon is your ex, you can bet that other gods will be interested in your recent makeover. As they say, this look - and your escapades - will go down in hisss-tory!
Not Me. Us.Now is the time to think big, not small — that means ensuring that at every costume party around the country, together, we are maintaining a standard of living for our fellow party-goers. That means ensuring folks contribute their fair share to the pot luck; that means cracking down on the Jim Halperts of the world, who have for too long hid behind loopholes in the costume code and brought mere vending machine fare to the snack table; that means, finally, sharing with our fellow workers an honest accounting of our wages and benefits, so all our brothers and sisters at the costume party are afforded a reasonable standard of living!Design & DetailsThis is a pivotal moment. So let's be clear: this officially licensed Bernie Sanders mask can help you rally your fellow workers out of complacency, and together, we can build a better future for us, our children, and our grandchildren. Officially licensed (the Bernie stamp of approval, essentially), this mask may not change the world on its own, but it could inspire you or your colleagues to change it. So we're reminded of that classic Bernie-ism: "Not me. Us." Solidarity. We know — what a concept!
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

Marauder MakeoverDo you hear the drums calling? Those rhythms aren't just to inspire you and your fellow longboat riders to run your oars at the same pace. That's the call for battle! You can look out over the field and see it decorated with dozens or more of your competition. They've got their braids done up to the nines. Beads are woven into the men's beards and bands of fabric and leather torn from the defeated give a colorful flair to the women's hair. This is a fashion raid! Who has claimed the ultimate treasures from the most recent attack on those bellyaching nobles? And, more importantly, who is wearing it best!? Does their mighty axe clash more with their armor than it does against their shield!? And, speaking of shields, let's be honest... is it one worthy of carrying a mighty warrior into Valhalla or is it just a bargain arrow blocker that someone lifted off a wannabe warrior? Design & Details Make sure that you are always standing at the forefront of Viking fashion when you come equipped with this Black Viking Shield. This easy-on-the-eyes prop shield is made from plastic though it has the solid look of wood and metal.

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.

There's a reason that it's a style that is still popular and eye-catching today. 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!
Renaissance BallerHad the term “baller” existed during King Henry VIII's reign, it definitely would have been applied to him. We're talking about a guy who decided that he didn't like the church's rules, so he made his own church. We're talking about a guy who walked around wearing jewels on his fingers, around his neck and let's not forget that he had owned more property than a real estate tycoon in New York City. He spent his mornings hunting instead of working and he spent his nights gambling and playing cards. He could shred the lute like a boss and he even wrote a best-selling book of his time. Of course...a few of his wives ended up being executed, so not everything he did was totally awesome, but maybe with a little help from you, and this King Henry costume, you can rewrite history!Design & DetailsBeing a baller from the 16th century starts with kingly regalia and this costume delivers. It's with a tunic and jacket combination that's designed to make you look like English royalty, since the tunic has a floral pattern and the jacket has pronounced shoulders, gold trim, and faux fur. The stockings give the appropriate look of the time, since those were totally cool back then. The hat mimics the one worn by the king, since he wasn't a fan of wearing a crown when it cramped his style. Of course, no 16th-century baller costume is complete without a neck chain, which this costume also includes. Yes, you'll be rolling in style like a king when you wear this outfit. You may even catch the eye of a young Anne Boleyn when you head to the party wearing this stylish costume.
Hail, Caesar!Most Romans wore white togas. It showed everyone in Roman society that you were an upstanding citizen and could easily be compared to a suit, or maybe a sweater vest in today's standards. Of course, if you're planning on being an extraordinary Roman figure, then you're going to need something a little more eye-catching than the standard white toga. You need something with a fiery attitude and perhaps a bold color that transcends white! You need something that will inspire the masses to call out your name, like a modern-day Julius Caesar! How about red?Yes, we think a rich red color is the perfect color to get you in the ruling mood and our expert costume designers have crafted this Plus Size Roman Toga Costume will give you an elegant and regal look to help you step into the role of emperor!Design & DetailsThis Made by Us really captures the look and feel of ancient Roman attire! It starts with a bright red, plus size tunic that has printed gold foil patterning along the sleeves. The toga is a cream color and fits over one shoulder for a classic style. The belt is made out of rope and fits around your waist to adjust the fit. To finish the whole look off, the costume comes with a leaf crown that fits with an elastic band around the forehead. It all combines for look that's worthy of a modern-day Caesar!Watch Your BackIf you're looking for a classic look, or if you just want to take your toga party style to the next level, then this men's Plus Size Roman Toga is perfect for you. You might want to add one of our Roman swords to your outfit though... word on the street is that Julius Caesar has made a TON of enemies.
Your son probably dreams of ascending the social hierarchy to knighthood, saving an imperiled kingdom, and living on for time immemorial in cherished tales of bravery, chivalry, and honor. 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. The path to a gilded set of armor, a majestic steed, and a lance of one's own often begins with a plank of wood, some rocks, and an imagination. And what better way to foster that imagination—at the Renaissance Festival or elsewhere—in a set of garments that hearkens back to the good ol' days, where playing a game of chicken on a horse with a pointy beam was the preferred spectator sport. Pondering how this could be in our Boys Renaissance Squire Costume might just get those imaginative juices in your little adventurer flowing!This period-authentic costume (minus the polyester and elastic) will have your squire ready to attend you at the joust, feast on mutton after, and awe at those sword-wielding knights and pirates all the while. If you aren't familiar with Arya Stark of Game of Thrones or Inigo Montoya of The Princess Bride, here's a small spoiler: they are really, really cool—and they wore similar attire. Coincidence? We think not. Now's your chance to equip your little hero with the garb necessary for his rags-to-royalty story to begin!
Little House, Big DreamsWhen Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote about her childhood as a pioneer, she captured the imaginations of millions of children.

In the meantime, might as well revisit Laura Ingall's world once more to memorize new phrases once more. "All's well that ends well" and "Little pitchers have big ears" might just deserve a place in our everyday speech!
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!).

Northern NightmareThey strike when least expected, sailing silently in their longboats straight up to the very doorstep of an unwitting settlement. Their battle cries chill the blood and freeze the heart as they plunder their way through the land and leave when they've seized as much treasure as they could find.

One Thing's For SerpentWhen you want a powerful look for Halloween, one thing is for certain: you don't have to travel to the underworld to pull off your transformation. Leave the vampires, zombies, ghosts, and ghouls at home this holiday. Instead, you can simply tap into one of the many fascinating and gruesome storylines of Greek mythology, like that of Medusa!The gorgeous Gorgon with hair made of snakes, Medusa is a monstrous maven who could turn people to stone by looking at her severed, snake-covered head. See what we mean? You definitely don't need to invent a crazy ghost story to get scary this Halloween. Just tap into this well-known tale and wear this Women's Medusa Snake Crown along with your costume! If you want a fun group theme, you can add other well-known mythological figures — Perseus, Pegasus, Poseidon —portrayed by your best friends. But you know Medusa — she's also good to slither solo on the big night. Design & DetailsYou will create memories of monstrous proportions in this stunning topper. The base is a classic crown shape with royal details, and it adjusts in size to fit you perfectly. There is a large emerald-green faux gem front and center, as well as stuffed snake heads protruding all around.
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!
Wildflowers and Wagon WheelsThe pioneers of the wild west were an adventurous bunch. People left their tight-knit communities for all sorts of reasons. Some loaded their wagons for the long haul, taking on the Sierra Nevada mountains to take up residence in California. Others craved the isolation of the plains, building houses out of sod and working the wild land. Whether they were crossing the plains or settling in the midwest, the men and women of the wagon trains all reported back on the beauty of the prairie. If you crave the sensation of taking in an endless blue sky above an ocean of grass with meadowlarks among the wildflowers then slipping into this Women's prairie dress costume will make you feel like you're one of the brave 19th-century pioneers!Design & DetailsThis calico dress would look just right on a prairie homestead. The one-piece dress zips up the back and has a long skirt sporting a wide border and a blouse top with the billowing sleeves that were so popular in the 1800s. The top is detailed with decorative buttons on the front and velvet trim along the collar and cuffs. Accented with a cameo brooch, this dress is a lovely pick for plays, reenactments, and costume parties. Pieces of the PastWhile we're glad that we no longer have to cook our food over an open fire or scrub our clothes by hand, it's a lot of fun to visit the 19th Century every once in a while. And when you add little details to this costume like a wide brim bonnet, you take it to the next level. That bonnet keeps the sun off your face as you tend to barefoot children and gather herbs to heal people along the trail becoming an important part of building your character. It's amazing how costumes like this can make the past come alive!
This Goddess Aphrodite Costume has the right touches of gold in the right spots to make you feel like Roman royalty. This is a hot goddess costume for women. Add some gold bangles and some gold high heels to this costume to really dazzle your party guests.
Simple SolutionYour gal told you in no uncertain terms that for Halloween, she wants her costume to take her back to simpler times. So you got her a retro 50s poodle skirt costume.

"Warmer, but I mean even simpler than that, too!" she responded.Gather up this Girl's Prairie Pioneer Costume, and your historically-minded little miss can enjoy getting back (way back!) to nature with the feel of the open trail beneath her freshly cobbled boots.

Here's hoping she collects enough to keep you all going until you make it to the next trading post!Design & DetailsJust look at the detail on this Girl's Pioneer Costume—they just don't make 'em like this anymore. Except...we do! We did! The exclusive dress features long sleeves to keep the night chill off her, as well as a long, muted calico skirt with a ruffled hem. There is a rose-colored bow at the collar and a ruffle down the center of the bodice. A simple apron makes this look appropriately utilitarian, while the calico bonnet will keep her braids in place even during the windiest of travel days.Little TrailblazerThis costume makes for a unique appearance on Halloween, but your girl has always blazed her own path! Her grit, determination, and optimism would have been a perfect fit for the pioneering days—maybe that's why she can't wait to relive them!
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.

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…

The Warriors of OldThe great Roman gladiators of the time, although pitted against each other in the arena, were very well treated for the most part. They were fed well and received the best medical attention money could buy. After all, they were both warriors and entertainers for the Roman people.After all, the great audiences of Rome wanted to see mighty warriors locked into intense competition! These powerful fighters took on not only each other in the ring but lions, tigers, even bears! We know what you're thinking, "oh my!" (You were waiting for that, weren't you?)

Wear the ancient armor of the most brutal group of fighters since the Spartans! (And yes, among other exotic peoples, Spartans fought as gladiators.) Which tools will you choose? A net and spear (difficult to work but deadly for catching enemies by surprise), dual swords (flashy and full of offense but hard to block javelins!), or will you pick up the age-old classic pairing of the sword and shield? This costume comes with a pullover tunic, body armor that attaches with Hook and Loop fastener, faux suede armbands, a matching headband, foam shin guards, as well as a molded plastic medallion. Add some Roman-style sandals to complete the look and let the crowd go wild with the entertainment you provide! We'd recommend just looking really good in this armor instead of actually fighting since it's not quite as sturdy as what the real deal was! But hey, maybe looks will win the crowd, it's happened before!
Big Sky Day DreamsCan you imagine what it would have been like to be a child on the prairies, traveling with a covered wagon convoy?

This is Sparta!King Leonidas has quite a problem. Greece's greatest enemies, the Persians, are trying to invade! He's going to need to gather up as many of his countrymen as possible to protect his beloved homeland. He knows he'll need the help of the mighty Spartan warriors, but will they be able to crawl over to the battlefield in time to join into the fray? Or will they over-sleep during naptime and miss the whole thing?Leonidas calls his men to sound the alarm and shake the battle rattles, alerting everyone to the critical situation.

This is a terrible predicament! As the Persian forces draw nearer, Leonidas knows time is running out, and he has no idea how to rally his army to victory or even escape himself.

The Original Fanny PackYou can just picture the scene: Two medieval townsfolk standing together by the side of the road. Maybe they're merchants. Maybe they're knights.

And the other replies, "Friend, thou must hie away to check out Robert the tanner who has some sweet belts with attached pockets!"

Ruling England during the beginning of the 1500s was never an easy task. It was almost impossible not to get caught up in all the politics and danger of the court. Just spending a single day around it is enough to make someone lose their head. Taking care of the peasants and making sure you don't anger the rest of the royal families is difficult enough, but you even have to know exactly how to dress properly at all times! Anne Boleyn understood this all too well. She began in relatively humble roots as far as royal standards go, but to us, it was quite the lap of luxury. She was the daughter of an earl, a middle ranking noble, and was able to study in both France and the Netherlands in her younger years. She was betrothed to a few people that various church officials would refuse to officiate for strange reasons, but that never got her down. She moved up to be the maid of honor to the queen where the king himself fell head over heels for her! We think that when the king of a country (or anyone for that matter) excommunicates himself from the largest religion of the time, and creates his own church for you, you know that it's the truest of all loves. There's no possible way something that intense is going to end badly, right?In order to help you find your own gallant ruler, we've decided to take a little weight off of your shoulders. This beautiful dress is a wonderful inspiration of one that the one and only Miss Boleyn herself would wear around the castle, and is sure to have you stand out at the next costume or old English themed party!

One look at you and he's sure to take you out of serfdom, permanently. You can work on your royal plans as you go… but first, start by adding this top to your medieval costume.

Superhero in SkirtsNot all superheroes wear capes... or spandex, for that matter. Take Florence Nightingale, a respectable English woman, she was expected to marry and live the quiet Victorian life of hearth and home. But she followed a calling to serve others and heal the sick and wounded.With a backstory like that, Nightingale would make a natural comic superhero. She's got the name, to begin with. She comes from an unlikely background. She's inspired generations of superhero nurses in the years to come. And she's even got a sidekick, Nightingale carried around a little owl that she rescued in Greece named Athena. While we know that wearing an ankle-length dress isn't typical for saving the day, we think any history buff can make this 19th-century heroine into a superhero no one will forget!Details & DesignOur creative team designed this costume with history buffs in mind! The high neck and floor-length skirt maintain the modesty that was expected from the gentlewoman nurse in the 1800's. The dress zips up the back and has a princess cut bodice. A full white apron secures around the waist with ties and crosses over the back, making you look ready for your patients. Topped off with a white, ruffled cap and a broadcloth band toting the red cross, this costume is great for costume parties, plays, and presentations! Legendary Lady Are you ready to take on the look of a legend? The founder of nursing has a romantic image that's been painted and recreated for a hundred years so you can be sure that it's a fun role to take on. When paired with an old fashioned lamp, this costume will bring the heroine to life in an instant. Sure, the war of Crimea that made Nightingale famous might be a distant memory but her heroics live on!
