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. This Made By Us costume accessory starts with a mesh cap with an elastic edge to maintain a comfortable fit. 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!
You've got Spear ItIf you've ever fancied yourself as a fierce warrior, then chances are, you've been on the hunt for a good weapon. Daggers are nice, but they lack range (and reach is very important when facing foes at close range)! Axes are nice, but they're a little to cleave-y for some. Those can also be a little hard to wield for anyone whose skills with weapons aren't as strong as their fierce attitude. No, what you need is a weapon that's as ancient as humanity itself. You need a weapon with the reach to tackle anything that comes at you with their bare hands. You need a pointy stick! You need...the spear!Design & DetailsThis ancient looking spear brings is a toy weapon that harnesses the power of a spear with the look that's inspired by the weapons used by various warriors in time. The prop weapon is made of plastic, but the tip looks like it's made of bone, while the shaft looks like it's made out of wood.Safety FirstRunning around with a toy spear is a lot of fun, but you're no caveman warrior out on the prowl for Mastodons... make sure you play safe with this toy spear and not throw it at the unsuspecting.

When you're the ruler of the greatest ancient empire on the Nile river, you don't have to worry about what anything costs. Your only concern is keeping up with the most fabulous fashion of the time. You had to make sure everything was adorned in gorgeous jewels, flaked in gold, or made of the most luxurious Egyptian linens.

We understand that your royalty hasn't quite been recognized yet, but we know as well as you do that it's only a matter of time before this occurs. While your waiting, this fantastic King Tut headband will be a fantastic place holder to prepare you for the real deal.
Walk Like an EgyptianThe classic independent woman, Cleopatra ruled Egypt as the last true pharaoh for nearly 30 years. Her name goes hand in hand with proud Egyptian leaders. Even today, people hear "Cleopatra" and they think drama, beauty, and class. She believed she was a living goddess, and so can you when you don this epic Halloween costume. An elegant dress with billowing sleeves, an attached apron, and wide, bold collar will have the wearer feeling pretty divine themselves.Product DetailsCleopatra wore the finest linens, cottons, and silks the ancient world could produce. But she never met polyester! This costume is 100% polyester, which means it's easy to wash and is wrinkle-resistant. The velvety top adds a lush richness. The accents are crushed bronze fabric. The attached apron is covered in glitter, with printed graphics and 3D jewels for depth. Chiffon sleeves encourage sweeping arm movements to mimic royalty. A bold gold collar attaches in the back with hook and loop fasteners. Shop around for a headpiece, wig, jewelry, shoes, and scepter to make this costume even more commanding. Getting dressed will be a ritual that will be worth it in the end.Brains and BeautyCleopatra was both stunning and smart. And you can be, too, when you buy this costume!

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.
While everyone searches endlessly for the most shared memes, the most relevant pop culture, and the most timely politics to inspire their costumes this year, wouldn't you rather prop your feet up on a nice, big stone and enjoy the simpler things in life? Like attire made from the coats of wild jungle cats. And fire-roasted squirrel. And we mustn't overlook the dry safety of a hole in the wall....No? Well, even if that's not your thing, we've got the perfect costume if you aim to let some other primal instincts loose this Halloween. Even if squirrel stew somehow doesn't pique your interest, consider the hilarity that could ensue if you made "sorry, it's just my instincts" your sole excuse for all your wild behavior. You ate all the deviled eggs? "Not sorry, I haven't eaten in four moons." You got caught dancing on the host's dining room table? "Sorry, but it's a ritualistic, instinctual thing you modern bipeds wouldn't understand." You are being interrogated over the scent of snacks emanating from your purse and coat pockets? "While you all are hunting each other, someone around here has to be the gatherer." This one-shoulder sheath mini-dress will make a perfect costume for exploring any of the above possibilities—or for forgetting about the complexities of modernity and dancing like the animal you are. We approve wholeheartedly of the aforementioned scenarios, but cannot promise that all your instinctual impulses will be necessarily "lawful." Exercise caution—but not too much, you wild thing.

The Fairest MaidenThere was a lot left to be desired living back in the Middle Ages. Most people's homes were just one big room with dirt floors and straw-stuffed mattresses for beds. The dinner menu didn't include much besides bread, stew and porridge. There was always the threat of an invasion from an enemy country or another 100-year war. If you wanted to visit anyone farther than 10 miles away, it took two months to finally get there. You might be accused of being a witch if you baked a cake that was too delicious. And, worst of all, there was no indoor plumbing.But all the inconviences of Medieval life were worth it for the amazing balls! If you think today's parties get wild, you haven't seen anything yet. Medieval balls had fire jugglers and choir groups and trained bears and indoor sporting events, plus about 100 pounds of food. The best part, of course, was having the chance to dress up in a truly beautiful gown!Product DetailsYou will be the fairest maiden in the land in this exclusive Plus Size Women's Crimson Maiden Costume. The beautiful red dress is made out of the finest 100 percent polyester, styled to look like crushed velvet and brocade fabrics and sewn by a dozen royal seamstresses. The one-piece dress is styled to look like multiple layers, including a shift, underskirt and overdress. The cream brocade front inset panel looks like an underskirt peeking up at the top of the dress, and the dark red overdress is trimmed with gold lace and braid. There are also long sleeves trimmed with gold lace, with cream fabric peeking out of the ends to resemble more underskirt.Ye Grand Olde TimeYou're guaranteed to have a grand old time at your next Medieval ball (or just a good old costume party) with this crimson maiden costume!

This dress was made to be fought over!History is actually pretty fuzzy on the details of Arthur, Lancelot, and Guinevere, but one thing that's clear is the high style in which she dressed.

Top your perfectly curled locks with the included, gem-studded half-crown and we're sure you'll have no trouble gathering your own roundtable of adoring fans tonight!Gal About TownWe can't be sure, but we would guess Guinevere was a real girl about Camelot.

The Ren Fest FactorYou know, the whole office was driving up to a conference in Duluth a few years back, when we stumbled into some bumper-to-bumper traffic stretching for miles. We couldn’t figure out why until--a few hours later--we passed an enormous sign directing drivers to the Renaissance Faire. This got us thinking, we need more costumes to match this clear customer demand.And now that you’re thinking about it, you’re probably realizing that your little princess has been talking a lot about castles, maidens, turkey legs (really?), and knights.

Maybe you're thinking of dressing up like a king or a queen, envisioning heaping piles of coinage and blackbird pies. But that's not what being a ruler is really like! When you're the wealthiest and most powerful person in the realm, you're everybody's first call when something breaks and they need help fixing it. You're not just some fancypants prancing around in their puffy sleeves and twinkling crown: you're like a well-dressed 24/7 plumbing service. And Renaissance plumbing is not something you want to have to fix, no matter what you're wearing!So we made this fine Noble Renaissance Man Costume for people who crave a life of leisure. Sure, somebody wearing an outfit like this probably doesn't bathe in coffers overflowing with gold florins. But they also don't have people knocking on their door at all hours because a kitty cat or pigheaded goat is stuck in a tree again, and nobody else can afford a ladder. A Noble Renaissance Man like this is free to tend his modest parcel of land or become learned, to play chess or train in swordsmanship. Or all of the above!And maybe he's not covered in gold and jewels like the chump wearing the crown, but we figured that this guy would still have some pretty stylish clothes. So we made his tunic and bonnet out of velvet. Then we lined his cape with satin, and fastened it with a flashy golden chain. We even threw in some great-looking boot covers and stuck a feather in his cap for good measure. It's a complete look, ready for a costume party or Renaissance Faire!
Ever wish you could just switch off the modern world and lead a simpler life? You know the kind we're talking about. No iPhone, no emails, no Facebook, no tweets to catch up on. We're talking about a real simple existence, but we also happen to be talking about the lifestyle where you've got a big ol' axe in your hand.Yes, there's no beating around the bush here, we're talking about becoming a Viking!

Sometimes kids have no idea what they want to be when they grow up. Some kids say they want to be a doctor, and some say they want to be a lawyer, and some of the smart kids even say they want to be an ice cream tester. But you know you have a unique kid on your hands when they say they want to be president someday. While eating ice cream sounds pretty good to us, there's no better goal for our youth than to follow in the footsteps of our forefathers and one day become president!

He just might be president someday because he looks so convincing... or he might just chop down your cherry tree, but don't worry, he'll be honest with you about it if he does!
Life as a wandering warlord is tough. You have to be away from home a lot as you pillage and plunder across the continent. The group of ruthless mercenaries you lead can be a handful. The hours are long and the pay is never consistent. Enemies are always trying to assassinate you, while you also have to keep an eye on any ambitious employees who might want to give themselves a promotion at your expense. Sometimes, you wonder if it’s all worth it.But then you remember—the cape.The cape makes all the worry and discomfort and fighting and danger worth it. There aren’t a lot of jobs that let you wear a super cool cape, and being a warlord is one of them. Every time you put it on, you feel rugged, commanding and invincible. The cape has a wide faux fur color with a plastic chain across the chest, anchored by plastic skull medallions for a little pop. Anyone who sees this cape will know you’re nobody to mess with—and you’ll feel pretty awesome swirling it dramatically. That’s worth a little work-related stress.
It's been said that love is a battlefield. But to some people, those words might sound a little out of order. The valkyrie who must have inspired this Women's Viking Vixen Costume, for example, would probably say a battlefield is love, or whatever was closest in Old Norse. And people like us, who enjoy mixing things up, might assert that field is a love battle—though we can't claim to know what that means!That's okay, because there's almost as much difference of opinion about the historical Vikings as there is about love and war. Were they rabid marauders? Adventurous seafarers? Master merchants? Opera enthusiasts? Did the real Vikings even wear horns on their helmets? There aren't a lot of easy answers, even if you're an archaeologist. That's why we stick to Halloween costumes: because when we see a shieldmaiden outfit with great faux leather details and a majestic fur-lined cape in powder blue, we know exactly what to think and feel. It's awesome! And we didn't even need a PhD!When you're wearing this strapping armor, you get to decide whether being a Viking means raiding and pillaging, knocking a few heads together, or just shattering wine glasses in a hail of high notes. As soon as you get your hands on one of these costumes, your fate becomes your own—though we'd also be happy to set you up with a couple of battle-ready accessories. Then you'll be totally free to cut loose and go berserk!
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?

After George Washington served his term as President of the United States, the people voted him into the office to make him the second man to become the POTUS!

The Ancient Egyptians knew that royalty was a grand mandate of divinity. Their pharaohs were reincarnated forms of the great sun god, Ra. Because, what is better than being King than being a God-King!? Challenged to bring their people to untold prosperity while competing with somewhere between 6 and 40,419 gods of death, those rulers had no end to their stress! And, worse, those who were disturbed or ruled unwisely might rise as mummies, forever tormented to wander the sands until the rightful pharaoh might come and return them to their slumber. So, maybe being king isn’t always the easiest of paths in life!But, still, the best thing about the pharaohs were that we had no specific limitations on who might be named! Those with the divine right would be raised, no matter who they were. Man, woman, or even kiddos were all eligible if they possessed the wisdom to rule… at least for a while. The great King Tutankhamen, the boy king, became one of the most famously known names in even our modern era.And, reincarnation is still a thing, even these many years later. Channel the lost soul of King Tut by gifting your kiddo with the luxury of rule with this Child King Tut costume. Luxurious black and gold polyester interlock knit fabric make up this knee-length tunic whose belt and collar are trimmed with gold and turquoise colors amidst a metallic golden braid, all featuring Egyptian-themed patterns. Matching velvet armbands shine like rare jewelry thanks to faux gems and fasten easily with the mythical power of Hook and Loop fastener. The headpiece is a black velvet fabric with golden stripes and a soft sculpted cobra with gleaming emerald eyes. Let your tyke reign forever as the God-King Tutankhamen and, even if the rule doesn’t last forever, you know that a mummy could be a great option next year!

Scientists have theorized that it takes more than 10,000 hours of practice to become great at something. 10,000 hours! That means you have to start training your kid now if he ever wants to be the best knight he can be. If he wants to survive killing the dragon, and saving the princess.You’ll have to find the best swordsmen to teach him the craft. He will need to learn Bonetti’s Defense, the Capo Ferro attack, and the Thibault, and Aggripa swordsmanship styles. He will need to learn to ride a horse, and to joust. (You never know when jousting will come in handy.) And he will need to practice while wearing armor. This way he doesn’t get slowed down in a fight because he isn’t used to it.Well, we can’t really help with the swordsmanship, although we hear that Inigo Montoya is pretty handy with a sword. But we can help with some training armor. This Toddler Knight Of The Dragon Costume will help your son learn what it is like to fight with armor. He should wear it for 10,000 hours to get used to having it on. He should also train for that many hours too, just so he has an upper hand when he comes face to face with the terrible dragon who is keeping the princess locked up in the tower. We wish him luck on his quest!

Queen for a DayThose ancient rulers really knew how to live it up. Why join the 9 to 5 drudgery when you could float down the Nile River on a gilded barge, being fanned by your loyal attendants and eating sugared dates? After all, as ruler of Egypt, you're the living embodiment of the Sun God. You really deserve these special perks. Nowadays, it's harder to get that royal treatment.

And dress as the most sensational, seductive ruler in history this Halloween! Product DetailsShow what a queen you are in this Plus Size Women's Queen Cleopatra Adult Costume!

The attached blue sleeves are as divinely blue as the desert sky, and the golden apron features matching blue jewels. A jeweled collar is the last word in decadent finery. Endless PossibiltiesThe best thing about dressing as Cleopatra is that you can play it as dialed-down or as sumptuous as you like. You can choose to find a dainty headpiece and go the understated-yet-regal route, or you can twine a live snake around your arm and make your entrance on a royal litter. The choice is yours!

ROMANS, COUNTRYMEN, HERE IS OUR GEARThere is a reason that the classic look of the Roman toga will never go away. It isn't just that it is crazy fun to dress up in one for your collegiate party. It isn't that the ability to go somewhere without technically wearing pants is perhaps the most freeing experience anyone can ever have.

Most of the time, it is good to be the queen. But every few centuries, it doesn’t seem like anybody in the world has a tougher job!

And it might not be much consolation on the way to the guillotine, but in the future you’re going to earn some major kudos for your uncompromising sense of style!
Diety DramaIf there's one thing we know about the ancient gods, they love a bit of drama. Whether it was love or war, they couldn't help getting involved in mortal trouble. They blessed those that entertained them the most, watching as we humans launched ships and attacked lands simply because the most beautiful woman in the world left her husband. Knowing what we know about the gods, it's safe to say they love reality television. They no longer need to meddle in our affairs, we broadcast them for all the world to see. That's nice for everyone in Olympus but we can't help but feel that we're missing out. Wouldn't it be nice if the gods came down and stirred up some good old-fashioned deity drama every once in a while?Costume DetailsThis brilliant gold and white Greek God costume is perfect for making an entrance worthy of Olympus. The costume includes a lightweight toga trimmed in gold. The elastic waistline is disguised with a golden sash.

Haters are gonna hate, and kings? Well, kings are probably going to be haters. It's not enough that they get to rule... the power usually goes to their heads, and well, once your monarch stops acting in the best interest of the people, it might just be time to get rid of him outright.And that's why we recommend using this HalloweenCostumes.com exclusive wig to turn yourself into a legendary King Slayer. Complete your costume look with one of our detailed medieval costumes and be sure to pick up a trusty sword.

All's Well That Ends WellWhen you were a kid, the adventures of Laura Ingalls Wilder seemed so real. When the Wilder family was sugaring off, you could almost taste the maple syrup, hot from the stove. And you could feel the excitement when Pa came back from the woods talking about a big bear that he had seen in the brambles... even if it was actually a simple dead log, it sent quivers of delightful fear to your head.Oh, the trundle beds with layers of quilts, the hot cast iron stove, the covered wagons, the fiddle music, and let's not forget the sweet pioneering dog, Jack! All of that once felt like it happened to you. Then you grew up, and it feels sort of distant somehow. It's all the modern trappings that have gotten in the way! But never fear, as Ma would say, "All is well that ends well". Now you've got access to this Laura Ingalls Wilder costume, that long-lost land of prairie adventure is at hand!Design & DetailsThis pretty blue dress brings to mind the simple yet cozy settings of The Little House on The Prairie series.

The floor-length gown has pleats at the waist for a flattering and historically picturesque fit.On the WagonDo you want to bring the past to life? This Laura Ingalls Wilder costume is a great way to bring the pioneer lifestyle to life! Top it off with a wide-brimmed bonnet, picnic basket, or even a crisp white apron to perfect your adventurous old-fashioned character. And once you're done, if you ask nice, maybe Pa will even fiddle you a couple dancing tunes!

AN EXTRA-DIMENSIONAL GENTLEMANWe need Steampunk in our lives. Like, literally our real-life lives. Cleaner energy. Inspired technology. A world of pomp and creativity, of Victorian style and futuristic ambitions. We just need it! Of course, obtaining such a world is a pretty daunting problem. Do we hop back in time and change things so that we get on the right track early and just cross our fingers that we don't drive even faster into the fallen utopia? That seems like we're begging for a time travel disaster!So, we figure that alternate dimensions are the way to go. Portals into the same time period but pulling a few quantum mechanical gizmos can't hurt nearly as bad as swapping a few moments in our past. Worst case scenario with that, we've got a dorky new friend who is a touch confused by our near-criminal lack of cogs and miffed by the lack of lever-activated machines to pour tea without having to walk over to the steamer!DESIGN & DETAILSBe our guide into this new era by stepping up into the role of a lifetime with this Steampunk Dandy costume. Exclusively crafted by our in-house team of artists, designers, and developers, we were sure to infuse it with plenty of signature Steampunk style and we know you're going to love it as much as we do. It includes a double-breasted vest with puffy jersey sleeves and a jabot at the neck. Of course, the look wouldn't be complete with a pair suede-like wrist guards, folded short pants, a stylized top hat, and a belt with a holster! SWORD CANE OR GRAPPLE GUN?Once you've settled into your dandy new Steampunk look, the only question will be what accessory is perfect. Cogs and gears, of course. But, will you go for the quirky tech for convenience or the stylish weapon for debonair flair?
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!
Ahh, a safari! Doesn’t that sound quite wonderful and relaxing, just hunting big game in the African veldt? It’s just you and nature. There’s nothing standing between you and that sun… that’s blistering hot in the afternoon sky. 12,000 lb. elephant… which are known for their giant tusks and turbulent tempers when encroaching upon the herd. There’s nothing between you and that majestic lion… who hasn’t eaten dinner in a few days and has razor sharp claws with a run speed of nearly 50 miles per hour.On second thought, a safari sounds awfully dangerous! Perhaps it’s better to stay in the comfort of your own home town while wearing this Safari Hunter costume. It’s a plus size version of our classic Safari costume, which is perfect for when you want to look like Teddy Roosevelt on a safari, but have no intention of booking a plane ticket to the middle of nowhere just to have dangerous animals try to kill you.The costume includes a vest that looks like something out of the closet of Dr. Livingstone. It has decorative buttons in front and a matching pair of pants. A snazzy ascot is included, since you still want to keep a sense of high style when you’re exploring your neighborhood. The gloves, helmet and goggles are also included to round out the look. When you’re all dressed up in this ensemble you’ll be ready to turn your normal trip to the grocery store into a full blown expedition!
Anubis seems like a pretty chill god. He’s not a total blockhead like some of those Greek gods, who spent most of their time backstabbing each other. He mostly just likes to hang out with dead souls and guide them get to their proper place in the land of the dead. He also acts sort of like a bodyguard to the afterlife, since he uses his handy scale to weigh people’s hearts. (He makes sure all the jerks don’t make it in.) If you plan on choosing an Egyptian god to dress up as, then Anubis is your guy… or jackal.Now, you can be the Egyptian deity Anubis! This adult Anubis mask is molded into the shape of a jackal face and has a black front with plenty of gold detailing on the ears. When you wear it, you can hang with the pharaohs or chill with the mummies, because everyone loves the ancient God of the Dead!
Pride & PeppinessJane Austen knew how to write a character. Everyone in her books was memorable. They all could turn a phrase to lift the reader or make the reader broil in anger for the sake of the heroine. She did all of this while keeping her characters (both the good and the cad) in the refined class that we all came to love. From two hundred years ago, she can still transport us to places that no longer exist. All it takes is a turn of the page and we're walking into the halls of Mr. Darcy's estate while dressed in petticoats and white gloves. Turn to a different page and we're trapped on the moors with a twisted ankle while Mr. Willoughby swoops down and saves us from our struggle. Does your daughter delight in a time of restraint and etiquette? She can pen her own romances when she's dressed in this gorgeous Jane Austen costume!Design & DetailsThis Made by Us costume has all the refined taste any Jane Austen fan would expect. The lightweight white dress has puffed sleeves and a beautifully ruffled collar. The empire waist is belted with a pink ribbon to make the skirt extra billowy when walking through the green fields of northern England. A dark blue jacket with gorgeous puffed sleeves is layered over top for when it gets cloudy but your child still wants to keep writing under the garden trellis. The whole look is topped with a bonnet to keep Jane extra elegant. One for the BooksWhether your literary kid is dressing up for a play, school event, or even Halloween, she's sure to love the elegant design of this costume. Now, all your child needs to do is learn to use a quill pen and learn to pen perfectly restrained dialogue. Shouldn't be hard, right?
Better than the real thingIt's safe to say that childhood was short in the Middle Ages. It wasn't that kids were less childish, it was just that there was always so much to do. There was yarn to spin, wool to card, peas to shell, gardens to weed, chickens to feed, chickens to pluck, firewood to gather, hems to sew, fields to sew, stews to stir, and water to fetch. So you can be sure that if you were a kid during this time, you'd have plenty of chores every day. Can you imagine a child in today's era yielding a sharp object to peel carrots by an open fire on which balanced a pot of boiling water? Nope, that would not fly these days. Still, it's wonderful to picture villager children of the Renaissance and Medieval era letting loose and gathering flowers. Luckily for us, we might not have a long, long list of chores but we still have access to the clothing of those eras. When you dress your child in a look like this one, it's like going back in time only way, way better!Design & DetailsMade by Us, this Renaissance Villager Costume for girls is a cut above your typical princess costume. The two layers consist of a simple white sheath that has off-shoulder sleeves. The overskirt has a beautiful blue color with a silver-blue flower pattern. With just enough shine to make your kiddo excited to wear it, while still looking natural in pictures, this costume will make everyone happy. The lace-up bodice is secured with velvet textured ribbons that are sewn along the seam of the top and the overskirt as well.Hay-nonny-nonnyA look like this is ready for anything from Ren Faire to a themed party. Top this villager costume off with a crown of braids and your little one will feel like a character straight out of a picture book!
Another day, another fight -- and your airship is coming apart at its seams. You need to do something to keep it all together. Go grab your blowtorch, and your welding gear because you need to start fixing it now. If you don't get it fixed now the whole ship will go down. Everything you have built gone forever. All the people, the ones who are so loyal to you, will have no home, no job. You better get to work.But shoot, where are your welding goggles? Oh, that's right, your last pair broke in the last sandstorm. Well, we have this CyberSteam Eye Patch Goggle to replace your old pair. Normally we're big fans of quality over quantity, and that's no different here! This sweet antique-gold-tone eye patch goggle in a plastic frame can be worn on either eye and will protect your eyes from the brightness of the blow torch and whatever other dystopian monstrosity you might run into. And they will let you get on with fixing your ship. When you are all done, just put them on a dapper top hat so they don't get lost, or broken again. Demigod Nicola Tesla would be proud of you.
Do you ever get tired of modern technology, not because of how it works, but because of how it looks? 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 Plus Size Steampunk Lady Costume is just the getup for your 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!The same goes for costumes, and this steampunk getup is much cooler than an average outfit. This costume includes nearly everything you'll need to look daring on your outing, and features a corset-style bodice and a ruffled skirt with industrial-looking faux buckle straps. The matching sleeves and glovelettes add dashing detail to your ensemble, and the foam shaped top hat and vintage style goggles should come in handy if things get dicey. Add a pair of fierce buckled boots and some tights to complete this sassy look, and you'll be ready for some steam-powered action!
