True Old School CoolHistory is cool. We know, we know. Some people think it's actually not cool to think that, but just look at all of the awesome stuff Ben Franklin did during his lifetime! Let's see... first, there are the countless inventions that he created, like the Franklin stove that helped keep people warm during winter. Then, there are bifocals, which are largely unchanged from his design to this today. If that wasn't enough, the dude even created his own instrument called the glass armonica! Oh, and did we mention that he helped write the America Declaration of Independence? Yeah, Ben Franklin was like the Elon Musk of his time... except Ben started a brand new country, held the title as the first Postmaster General of the United States, and earned his place on the hundred dollar bill!If that's not cool, we don't know what is. That's also why we happen to think that this Boy's Colonial Benjamin Franklin Costume is one of the coolest costumes a kid can wear!Design & DetailsThis historical costume is based on one of the greatest figures in American history! Our costume designers took care to create a look that was befitting of the Founding Father, so they studied classic portraits of Ben. This costume is what they came up with!

The matching pants are also brown and have an elastic waistband for fitting. Finally, the costume also comes with a cravat to complete the look. To get the look seen in the image, be sure to check out our wig, socks, shoe buckles and glasses to finish off the look (all of which are sold separately).Historic HeroIf your child thinks history is cool, then Ben is his man! This Made by Us costume is a great way for any kid to dress as their hero, Benjamin Franklin!

Temporal DaydreamsDo you ever think about time travel? We do. We probably spend WAY more time thinking about that sort of thing than we should. Maybe we read too many adventure books about the subject. You know the type. A seemingly average woman gets swept through time to a few hundred years in the past. She must figure out a way to travel back to her time, all while getting wrapped up in political intrigue and colonial adventures with her new friends from the past. She might even strike up a romance with some dashing figure from the past... it sounds so exhilarating!Of course, that never happens in real life. Or at least, we've never heard of it happening, but we like to pretend. It's part of the whole reason we got into the costuming gig. Costumes let you embark upon some pretty marvelous journeys. Through the power of costume, you can create a little time-jumping adventure of your own, even if you're just roleplaying the whole thing. Who knows! When you put on this Colonial Village Woman Costume, you might just get sucked into some Jamestown drama!Product DetailsThis historical costume is a plus size outfit that recreates the look of the colonial days. It comes with a simple brown dress that you can wear as you walk through the village. The off-white apron around the waist will have you ready to tend to your daily chores, while the shawl around the shoulders puts the finishing touch to the outfit. The costume also comes with a cap that fits around your head with an elastic band.Make Your Own Historical StoryWhether you long for a historical story of your own or you just want to reenact the early colonial American days, this Colonial Village Woman Costume will help you get into character.
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? A journey by wagon was shaky and uncomfortable so women and children walked along with the oxen, running wild with children from the other families, dogs nipping at their heels, keeping them together. We're sure it was hard work, keeping everyone fed and safe. But it would have been such an adventure for the kids! It's said that the grass of the prairies was long and endless, the wind would make it blow back and forth like waves in the ocean.

Taking You to TaskHercules had a lot to prove. He knew he belonged in Mount Olympus! Unfortunately, the drama of the gods landed him in the hands of mortal humans. In the end, there was a compromise. Hercules had to complete 12 labors. And these labors, they were hard! He had to slay a nine-headed monster named Hydra. He had to capture the bull that had given birth to the famous, dangerous minotaur. And finally, he had to return Cerberus, the three-headed dog from Hades, to Olympus. Basically, Hercules had to face down a lot of many-headed monsters! Lucky for you, you don't have to complete any tasks to take up the famous Hercules persona. Well, only one. Purchase this Hercules kit. Once it arrives, everyone will assume that you've already been to Hades and back, playing dog-catcher.Costume DetailsThis kit includes a headband, a pair of faux leather gauntlets, a belt embossed with a golden lightning bolt, and a flowing blue cape. The belt easily secures around your waist with a strip of hook and loop fastener in the back. Pair this set with a tunic and gladiator sandals and you'll look like you just popped off an ancient urn, into real life. Good thing too, we could use a few more old-school heroes!Toga Today, Toga TomorrowWhat is it about the ancient Greeks? So many of their characters are still everyday, household names. Maybe we like their characters so much because the style in ancient times was pretty cool. Who wouldn't want to drape themselves in togas and rock wrap sandals? If you want a timeless costume, Hercules is a great choice. That way, when you're telling stories about this Halloween to your grandkids, your grand epic won't be interrupted with questions about who Hercules is. Good thing too, the tales of your grand labors deserve to be heard!

The Ultimate AnswerWe all get asked the question from time to time. 'What's your favorite animal?' We all naturally have a quality answer to that query (even if it might change a few times over the years). The dog is well known as humanity's best friend. Then you've got the cat who has clearly won the Internet. From aardvarks to zebras, there are so many adorable, strange, and wonderful critters in the sea, on the land, or in the air.But allow us to suggest that we expand the definition of 'animal' a bit and offer you an even better option. Legends speak of all sorts of amazing creatures but few are more inspiring than the Pegasus. Start with the noble beauty of the horse, taking note of its indomitable strength and a truly epic mane of hair. Now add the grace and aerodynamic ability of a bird, too!? (When you add in the fact that they can swim, too, you've got an all-terrain triple threat!)Design & DetailsIf the magical majesty of the winged horse is what you seek, you're going to love this Adult Heavenly Pegasus costume! This hooded jumpsuit was designed by our Made By Us team to help you live out your Greek Mythology costume dreams. Start by shaping the wings to your liking and get ready to soar thanks to the hook and loop patch. Next, step into the metallic knit cuffs, creating a shiny hoof-like illusion.Zip up the front for an easy fit and pull up the foam-backed hood to show off a faux fur mane and perky ears. The pearly velour fabric will have you feeling supernaturally shiny so all that is left is to practice your Pegasus prance! (Team up with a friend in a Hercules costume to really go the distance.)

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.

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?

But hey, maybe looks will win the crowd, it's happened before!
Home, Home On the PlainsThe plains might have been where the deer and the antelope roamed. And yeah, sure you might not have heard a discouraging word very often. But that doesn't change the fact that life in the prairie was crazy challenging. The land was ripe for planting once you plowed up the sod. But then you had to hope that a mob of grasshoppers wouldn't fly through eating everything in their path including the clothes hanging from the clothesline, the clothesline, and very curtains on your windows. And if it wasn't a year when locusts were popular you could worry about crazy fast wildfires, drought, and well water contamination. You probably know the drill if you've ever played Oregon Trail. But even though life on the plains was so hard, people still did it! And they managed to stay looking perfectly sweet while doing so!Product Details & DesignThis Made-By-Us costume has little details that'll make you stand out from all the other pioneers. Our designers researched historical costumes and took aspects such as the curved collar and the crisp ruffle down the front. The subtly puffed sleeves, the ruffled apron, and softly flowered skirt all come together to make you feel right at home on the prairie. With high-quality seams and a zipper up the back, this is a look that you'll be able to wear again and again! Want to include the whole family? We have pioneer costumes for every age range and size.

If you think it's unlikely that your child is going to be a politician, think again. It's surprising how many of our children have those personality traits that we often see in our senators and congresspeople. They might not have access to designer suits and fancy watches and let's forget those private jets but when it comes to getting more cookies you think that you just might have a pretty good negotiator on your hands. First, have you ever noticed how rapidly your child flip-flops? One day your kid is ready to set up a ban on all vegetables and the next week you notice that all those snap peas you bought have indeed been snapped up, is that why they call them snap peas? Also, he's always making promises he can't keep. Sure, he might have every intention of actually picking up his toys the next day but how could he know an important council of video gamers meeting would be called? Really, there was nothing he could do. So, maybe he doesn't actually have a political bone in his body or maybe it'll only be a couple of years before he's running for comptroller, either way, let him dip his toes into the ancient political waters with this Roman senator costume. He just might figure out how political his mind is the first time he proclaims, "Lend me your ears!" Even if that statement ends with him being pummeled with fake ears, it might clear up a few things for him. This toga with a red accent panel and golden laurel wreath will make a pretty great throwback photo for his first political campaign or that gyro restaurant he opens in ten years, either way.

A fiesty first lady"Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of husbands. Remember all men would be tyrants if they could."Dang! Abigail Adams didn't pull any punches, did she? Actually, this fiesty first lady made a reputation for herself as one of the most eloquent figures in the early history of the United States, and that's pretty impressive when her husband, John Adams, was known as one of the best letter writers (kind of like history's bloggers) of the period. Some historians even say Abigail was a better writer than her husband, and she didn't have half the chances at a fancy education that he did. So, you go, girl!There are plenty of role models to choose from when it comes to America's First Ladies, but we think Abigail Adams is one of the best. Not only was she a staunch supporter of women's education, she also spoke out against slavery and took a keen interest in her husband's politics. In fact, because she was so politically active, some people started referring to her as "Mrs. President"! It's no wonder that you're thinking about dressing up like her for your next costume party, and we can help!Product detailsThis exclusive Plus Size Women’s Abigail Adams Costume is sure to be a hit, whether you’re going to an inauguration or just a costume party. The red, long-sleeved pullover dress is 100 percent polyester, with a zipper down the back center for easy wear. The collar and sleeve cuffs are trimmed with lace, while there is elastic in the waist for a cinched look. Take it from us, girl: You will be the most fashionable belle at the regency ball!Good evening, Mrs. PresidentShow off your patriotic side and wow the crowd at your next costume party with this costume. We promise that if there's a vote for best costume, you'll win by a landslide!
Prehistoric FashionistaWho says living in a cave means you don't know anything about style?! In our experience, cave-dwelling fashionistas are actually a little ahead of the curve, since they can get their hands on pretty exotic furs and do some snazzy things with bones and claws and all that good stuff. Your little one will have a blast from the past (the extreme past) dressing up in this Cave Girl Cutie Costume for her prehistoric Halloween shenanigans!Being a Stone Age girl is far from easy, especially during woolly mammoth migration season, or when it's time to trim your pet saber tooth tiger's claws. And it's not as if you can just hit a drive-thru whenever you're craving a breakfast burrito. You totally have to sneak into a dinosaur nest and snag some eggs first, and that's assuming you also have all the other ingredients and a fire to cook them on. To us, that alone almost makes being a cave girl sound terrible, but then we see chic Neolithic outfits like this woolly dress, and we're back on board!Product DetailsThis cute costume comes with everything she needs to transform into a really cool cave kid. The leopard print dress features jagged hemlines to look she made it with her bare hands, and it looks awesome with the faux fur vest and matching boot tops. The bony hair bow tops off this wild, very vintage style, and will show everyone how cave kids know a thing or two about looking cool!Cave Girl CostumeBefore there was social media, texting, and long before there was Facetime, there was the stone age. Even though they couldn't instantly connect with friends and know what's happening around the world at any given moment, we think that the cave people knew a few things about fashion that we can still use to this day. This Cave Girl costume proves just that!

Helpful HeroesWhy is it that when we're watching superhero movies, we're watching muscly people throw villains through walls, causing all sorts of destruction? But real heroes don't wear capes. Real heroes wear gloves, masks, and aprons, ready to help whenever disaster strikes. Clara Barton was one of those heroes. She started her career in the muddy trenches of the Civil War, reaching out to wounded soldiers in dire situations. After making a name for herself by saving lives on the battlefield, she was just getting started. Clara then traveled to Europe and found out about the Red Cross when she visited Switzerland. After seeing all the good The Red Cross was doing, she was determined to start the American Red Cross and got to work as soon as she returned home!Design & DetailsInspired by Clara Barton's amazing legacy, our in-house design team was inspired to design a historical costume to let kids roleplay as the important figure. The featured dress zips up the back and has a petticoat built-in to the skirt for extra flounce. The shape of the dress has billowy sleeves with clean white cuffs layered over the forearms. A matching white apron with a red cross on the bodice is layered over the front and tied around the waist for a clean, hospital-ready look. Topped off with a neat bonnet, this costume is ready for school projects, history festivals, and costume parties alike. Designed with quality in mind, your child will be able to slip into this Clara Barton costume over and over again!Dress Up to Do GoodThe American Red Cross began to do good right away, reaching out for disaster relief for the first time in 1881, a month after the first local chapter opened! Without a tough, intelligent, and loving superhero all the American Red Cross outreach wouldn't have happened. Dress up as a true superhero for your next costumed event. Dress up as Clara Barton!

Don't Take Any Wooden TeethGeorge Washington is famous for telling the truth. Funny, since there are many false myths about this founding father. First off, let's get this straight. President Washington did not have dentures made of wooden teeth. If you think about this, we should have known. Of course, he didn't use wooden teeth. He was a well-dressed, high ranking member of society even before he was president. Can you imagine how uncomfortable wooden teeth would be? No matter how well-varnished those dentures were, they'd get splintery within weeks! We're sure George Washington wouldn't mind if that rumor ended once and for all. The first president of the United States also didn't chop down a cherry tree or ask Betsy Ross to design the first American flag. But to be honest, those myths are a lot less disgusting than the wooden denture story, so we'll let those slide for now. Design & DetailsThis bright blue and yellow General George Washington uniform is Made By Us, which means it was designed by our in-house creative team. The costume includes a blue jacket with an attached cream-colored vest with gold trim and buttons. It's completed with a simple cravat slips around your neck, a tricorn hat, and boot covers that slip over your shoes and attach with an elastic band. Add on a George Washington wig and light-colored pants to bring this historic forefather to life!Crossing the DelewareAre you ready to become the legendary first president of the United States? This historical costume is a great look for historical events at schools and festivals, Fourth of July parades, and even Halloween parties! Since it's Made By Us, the high-quality costume will be a look that you can break out again and again. Just remember to set the record about your dentures straight, once and for all!
Time for Some Tea and Civilized Conversation"U up? Wyd?" Ugh, no thanks. Leave the texting era behind and go back to a time where the rules of civility were stylish and you could dress up as much as you like. It's not as though we want to get rid of indoor plumbing, air conditioning, and espresso machines, but it would be nice to be able to go to a ball - or more than one! - every season. Performing a quadrillion just sounds classier than doing the Funky Chicken somehow. Product DetailsTake a turn about the ballroom in this Women's Regency Duchess Costume! Perfect for costume parties, festivals, and more, this outfit includes a floor-length blue gown patterned with a silver floral design. The scoop neckline perfectly complements the high empire waist and the puffy cap sleeves add an extra touch of 19th-Century fashion.

Everyone will definitely be calling you the most charming debutante at the gala!
Scene: an awesome costume party of your choice.Enter you, wearing this tunic/toga combo, behind your friend Jerry—both fashionably late.Jerry: “Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to you with the life of the party!"...Can you imagine a more appropriately dramatic Shakespearean entrance? If you have access to a team of steeds, a golden chariot, and a dozen Roman soldiers for escort, you could... Oh, you don't? Well, you could clear the punch and pretzels from the dining room table, call over an impromptu audience, and project onto your makeshift stage a hologram of the bard himself William Shakespeare to narrate your... Ugh, that won't work either?Alright, well how about this: we will provide the costume, then let you discover how best to boast of your famous exploits as the ruler of Rome. With our Plus Size Caesar Costume, you will already have a great start at recreating the royal Roman look, with gold sequin trim on the long off-white tunic, a metallic gold ribbon belt, and of course a gold-tone foil crown. You might not have riches like royalty (or a Shakespearean hologram to convince everyone you do), but we would never doubt all that bling. That said, you need only don this costume, let loose your introductions, and have Jerry set the mood: “Mischief, thou art afoot. Take thou what course thou wilt!”
I will not be triumphed over! - CleopatraThere are some women in our lives that we can't help but to admire. We love everything about them. We love the good things that they did, and we understand that they were human so they probably messed up. But we even admire their flaws.We admire our mothers for putting up with our shenanigans. We admire Michelle Obama, and her desire to stand up for women everywhere. We admire Oprah, and don’t you say that you don't admire her too. We know you do. But we really admire the strong, independent, sassy queen of Egypt from 51-30 BC. We admire Cleopatra, who made the Roman emperor fall in love with her.This year you can embody the most powerful woman of all Egypt when you put on this Women's Cleopatra Costume. The dress will make it easy for every emperor to fall (at least a little) in love with you. The metallic gold cape flowing elegantly behind you will make you look majestic, just like the real Queen of the Nile.

Don’t forget to grab a Cleopatra Wig to complete your transformation in to one of the most admired women in history.
Don't Make Eye ContactThis might sound weird, but have you ever been at a museum or in a decorated garden and felt as though the statues were... watching you? They seem lifeless and vacant, but you could have sworn you felt eyes on the back of your neck before you turned to look. Also, that statue was farther away before, wasn't it? Oh, dear. This might not be good. Product DetailsYou'll be an unsettling sight in this exclusive Scary Sullen Statue Mask for Adults! The unisex silvery mask conceals your entire head and most of your neck. It's molded to look like a blank-faced statue with carved hair. Eye holes allow you to (sort of) see where you're going. So Much Yikes Landscaping usually makes home property value go up, but we doubt that this mask would have the same effect. If you stood in someone's yard, people might assume that Medusa lives there, or that the statue uprising has finally begun. It was bound to happen someday.
THAT 'JUST WOKE UP' LOOKIt can be pretty tough to manufacture a carefree hairstyle. You've got to wake up pretty early to get the right tease to the hair. Just enough curl and frizz but not so much that folks can see the effort that you've put into it. So, when you want to go for a look that's really early, there's even more work that's going to happen. That's especially true if you want to go authentic and only use tools that were available in the stone age. Where is that time machine!? DESIGN & DETAILSYou won't have to worry about jumping through time portals or smashing your hair with rocks when you have this Prehistoric Caveman Beard and Wig accessory. We've done all the work for you to make sure that your locks are incredibly full, curly, and tangled as all get-out. The beard matches and attaches with adhesive and an elastic band. ANCIENT BEDHEADMake sure that you look like you've been napping for a really long time with this wig and beard kit. It's perfect for your prehistoric look but also great for your frazzled wizard, bear-wrestling woods-dweller, or for when Rip Van Winkle finally decides to finish up that 100-year nap!

Fourscore and seven years ago…Well, it’s been a little longer than that since Abraham Lincoln was president, but he’s still one of the most famous commanders-in-chief in our country’s history. Name a more famous president. Maybe George Washington, but that’s about it, and that’s not really fair, since he was the first president, and all. He got a lot of publicity for that. But Abraham Lincoln is definitely one of the best-known guys, and not just because he’s got his face carved onto the side of a giant mountain!But Abraham Lincoln didn’t start out with an illustrious career. Did you know he actually argued a case in front of the Supreme Court and lost? He also lost five separate elections during his attempts to get involved in politics. So, we guess the best thing to learn from Lincoln is to never stop trying to fulfill your dreams, no matter how long it takes!Product detailsIf you’re itching to dress up like one of America’s most beloved presidents, but you don’t want to wear wooden teeth to pull off a truly authentic George Washington, then we recommend this President Abe Lincoln Costume. The exclusive costume comes with a 100 percent polyester wool-like coat with an attached vest, which features a stylish button-down center. There’s also a satin bowtie with an elastic band to secure around your collar.Of course, an Abe Lincoln costume would be nothing without his iconic top hat, and we’ve got you covered there with a dazzlingly tall black top hat featuring a shiny satin ribbon. (The shirt and pants, though, aren’t included, so make sure you don’t forget to add some before stepping out on the town!)Hail to the chief!Whether you’re heading to a historical reenactment or just a Halloween party, this costume is the perfect presidential choice!

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!
Something for Everyone Do you love tragic romances? Strong heroines? Daring swordfights and battles, scheming villains with epic monologues, and fantastical fairy creatures? Shakespeare is the king of genre hopping from his comedies, to his histories, to his doomed love interests who tend to stab themselves before making sure that their true love is, ya know, actually dead. Product DetailsAs the Bard says, the course of true love never does run smooth - unless we're talking about the love-at-first-sight between you and this Shakespeare Book Costume Purse! (That's a direct quote from a play.) The rectangular purse is printed with a vintage cover of Shakespeare's plays complete with gorgeous lettering and illustrations. A deep inner pocket can easily hold a copy of The Merchant of Venice or another favorite. To Buy or Not to Buy Sorry, Hamlet, this one's not even a question. The answer is always to buy the purse that shows off your literary love in the cutest possible way.
Beauty of the NileWho was the real power in the ancient world? Julius Caeser or Marc Antony? Please. They were men. They had some successful campaigns, but so did another highly acclaimed ruler of their time. Plus, this particular ruler had a huge advantage: Personal style. Dazzling the masses and impressing your subjects is an important part of keeping the throne. And let's be honest: A sweeping gown is much more impressive than a boring old toga. Product DetailsBegin your glittering reign when you wear your exclusive Plus Size Queen Cleopatra Costume for Women! The sleeveless dress has a bodice made of shimmery gold faux linen. Center ruching accents the flattering V neckline and continues down the hips as the bodice forms a gently draped overskirt that parts in the middle to reveal the long metallic knit underskirt. A foam-backed belt with a front drape secures around your waist, and a semi-sheer metallic knit cape fastens around your shoulders via a gold faux leather collar. Crown your costume with the golden faux leather headband! Your Majesty Is Cleopatra #goals? Definitely! It's true that she did defeat her own brother in battle and pull some underhanded tricks, but that's just "making tough decisions." She's a smart and strategic general in her own right whose reign is not to be underestimated. The only thing she wasn't exactly great about is keeping her distance from snakes. Make sure you don't get too close to anyone wearing a serpent outfit this Halloween!
The Symbol of LifeIt might be simple, but the Ankh is a powerful symbol. It's the loopy shape on the top of this Egyptian Staff Accessory! In Ancient Egypt, the Ankh represented life and a sign of protection. The symbol was often held by pharaohs and gods as a symbol of their power over life and death.Of course, this Egyptian Staff Accessory is just a simple staff. Our costume designers created it to capture the look of classic staves held by deities in the ancient world. It won't give you any power over life and death, but it will add an authentic look to your pharaoh costume!Design & DetailsThis Egyptian Staff brings you a classic look that's perfect with any Ancient Egyptian costume!

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 bodice of the gown has bronze buttons down the front, a high neck collar, and gently puffed sleeves. The gown zips up the back to make changing into this costume nice and easy. 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!
Historical SpotlightsIn our experience, some of the best-looking costumes get overlooked just because they were inspired by a historical era that doesn’t lend itself to outfits with a lot of bells and whistles. But this Adult Green Renaissance Lady Costume is the rare exception, because it goes hand-in-hand with one of the best-known tunes in English folk music! So just for fun, we thought we’d toss in a few bars of our own interpretation: Alas, good lady, you’re headed wrong If you think you can purchase theeA finer set of Renaissance dudsThan this gown in the color green. Green, green is on the sleeves, It’s on the bodice, o’er the knees,It’s in the grass, it’s in the trees,Now you can look green like these!Can’t you just hear the trill of recorders and the idle strumming of lutes? Well, we can—but we have a tendency to get a little too immersed in these kinds of things. If that’s even possible!Product DetailsEither way, we think this is the perfect outfit for a costume party or Ren Faire, especially if you want to get in the olde-fashioned spirit without fussing about authenticity. This elegant combo includes a flowing dress in rich green velour with gilded accents befitting a noblewoman, and a flowery headband to match. With a little music from the period and a quaint pair of dancing shoes, it’ll be a real challenge not to cut a caper or two!
Honest Abe"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." Of course, that is a wise quote from "honest Abe" himself.

While we can't provide the height of the beloved president (he was six foot four inches!), this costume will give you the classic look with a stovepipe hat, long jacket, and shirt front. Whether for Halloween or Presidents' Day, this Abe Lincoln costume will give you the nineteenth-century look you've been waiting for.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T, find out what it means to Viking deities. Mostly, respect meant keeping your head high, keeping the whining to a minimum and fighting til the end. If Viking warriors could do that than they would be carried to Valhalla by a type of Norse goddess called a Valkyrie. Sweet deal, eh?The goddesses of the Vikings had it together, at least compared to the gods. They never kidnapped people, plotted violent events, or schemed to make the other gods feud with each other. The Valkyries focused on getting their important jobs done and hit up the mead hall in after hours. Hmm, sounds similar to human women in the modern era. And when Valhalla got too loud and violent? Who'd have thought a heavenly mead hall full of Viking warriors would be loud and violent? The Valkyries would seek some peace and quiet on earth, swooping into battles on their flying horses surrounded by ravens that they could communicate with. That doesn't sound like a bad gig.It's easy to channel your inner fierce goddess for your next costumed event. Lucky for you, Odin has blessed us mere mortals with a perfectly balanced costume that's at once cozy and sexy. In velvet and faux fur, you'll be ready to patrol the wind-blown battlefields of Norway while the off the shoulder dress with thigh high skirt slit makes you ready to party in Valhalla. Talk about versatility! The faux leather armor will let those warriors know you're no one to be messed with, even Thor has to lay some respect down for this Valkyrie.
Breaking the RulesSociety shuns rule-breakers. They lock them up or run them out of town. Sometimes though, that's exactly what the world needs. A little bit of rule breaking. Just take a look at the tale of Robin Hood.The law labeled him an outlaw. The Sheriff of Nottingham wanted nothing more than to lock up poor Robin Hood and throw away the key. And if it were up to Prince John, Robin and his whole lot of Merry Men would be banished from the kingdom forever. The ordinary citizens of the kingdom saw it a little different though. They saw him as a hero! Robin saw the laws that hurting his friends and family, so he decided to valiantly rebel against the kingdom! He took his bow in hand and began doing a little bit of "wealth redistribution" in his land. That's one case where being a rule breaker was a good thing. If your child has a penchant for breaking the rules, then maybe it's time to focus that trait into something heroic!Design & DetailsYou can transform your child into the legendary bandit from the tales when you get this Robin Hood costume for kids! This exclusive outfit is inspired by Renaissance clothing and comes with a light green tunic, perfect for blending in while traversing Sherwood Forest. The hood even helps hide his identity from the evil Sheriff of Nottingham! The costume also comes with a pouch for carrying gold, and a quiver that's perfect for storing extra arrows. Finally, the fingerless gloves and boot covers pull the whole look together!Robin and his Merry MenWhen you dress your child in this Robin Hood costume, your child may feel the need to steal from the rich and give to the poor! You might even feel the need to dress up as one of his Merry men to get in on the fun!
