Be a GeniusBy age 20, Leonardo da Vinci earned the label “genius” and “master,” among others, from his peers in Guild of Saint Luke. After his death, he was exalted: “He towered above all other artists through the strength and the nobility of his talents.” In slight contrast, by age 20, we felt like a genius the first time we soft-boiled an egg in our ramen noodles. But our self-pity is neither here nor there. Geniuses are cut from a different cloth. Are you good at art? Do you have sketchbooks full of doodles and ideas and as-yet-unanswered questions? Maybe you have one of those similarly magnificent minds! The polymath of your generation, perhaps you’ll dethrone da Vinci as world’s greatest painter, or open a new frontier in cartography or paleontology. Or electric vehicles! We bet old Leo would be fascinated by green energy ourselves.Design & DetailsLucky for you, we don’t cut from the same cloth around here either. Our Leonard da Vinci Costume for Men is a Made by Us exclusive, so you know care went into every single stitch. Replete with a long-sleeved pullover tunic, velvet robe, faux-leather belt, and velvet hat, this exclusive costume will get you that much closer to fulfilling your potential. Just make sure you snag a wig and beard to properly accessorize if you aren’t gifted with all that hair to begin with. With all this and a curious worldview, you’ll be ready to bring the renaissance to the 21st century! What’s gonna be your shtick? Our money is on emission-free vehicles. Yes… they will run solely on, erm, rainwater, and positive thoughts. Okay, never mind. We’ll leave the genius work to you.

Cross the Delaware - Or the BathtubThe Father of our Country is an amazing historical figure, but do you know who else would have been happy to fill his shoes? Your toddler! We bet your little one could do several of the things that our national hero did over the course of his career. Chop down a cherry tree with a toy axe? Your little one did that yesterday to your favorite rosebush. Scout out the land as a surveyor and go for weeks without seeing civilization? Your toddler has a habit of disappearing and returning wearing enough dirt to look like he went on a month-long expedition. Lead a brand-new country into an age of prosperity? Your toddler could do that easily, but there would be a lot more resolutions to abolish school on sunny days and protocols about greeting visiting diplomats with fart noises.Design & DetailsTech geniuses and teens bitten by spiders aren't the only superheroes out there - say hello to a classic hero when your little one wears this exclusive George Washington Costume for Toddlers! The golden vest front and white ascot look splendidly presidential under the long, velvety blue jacket with its gold trim, shiny buttons, and fringed epaulets decorating its shoulders. The fitted jersey-knit pants look suitably dashing under a pair of gold-edged boot tops and the foam-backed bicorn hat looks so good that it makes the King of England think twice about his own crown.Fit for a PresidentYour toddler will love the cheers he gets when he dresses as one of America's greatest heros! Even though his costume might get him some sweet perks, we do not recommend that he impose a tax on his friends' Halloween candy. That would be an abuse of power.
Once long, long ago there was an adventurer. She loved to go spelunking and deep sea diving, when she wasn't out looking for treasure she was coming up with in steampunk inventions. She had both engineers and crazy mad scientists test her new prototype of goggles. They were all shocked by her talent and ordered over 237 to be made withing a weeks time. Well, that was not something she could create, so instead she started to shop online. She was in luck when she found the Radioactive Aviator Black Goggles. You can be just like her in the cool Radioactive Aviator Black Goggles for your next steampunk outfit. The lenses are clear with faux leather eyepieces for polish. It fits to the head with an adjustable elastic band.

Domine Dirige NosAre you the kind of person who would fight with honor, honesty, valor, and loyalty? Would you protect the weak, and defenseless? How about eschew unfairness, meanness, and deceit? The kind of person who would speak the truth at all times? Yeah? Well then, you might have what it takes to be a knight.In the time of knights and kings, when matters of state were dealt with on the battlefield not in the House of Representatives, there needed to be something to keep knights from going rogue. From using their power to overthrow the king, or suppress their subjects. And that was the Code of Chivalry. Oddly enough, this is also where we get the idea of never turning your back on your enemy.As we have already established you have the integrity of a knight. But do you have the attire? No? Well this Men's Medieval Knight Costume will help people identify you as the knight in shining armor you are. You would be willing to stand up for those who can't stand up for themselves. Help orphans, and widows. You are just a good guy. And people should know that. They should know that you would pick up your sword to defend your King, and your subjects. You would lay down your life in honorable battle for the good of the Kingdom.Lord direct us
Don't Judge a Tut by its TombThe crypt had stood in silence for generations. Dust was everywhere, thick like fallen snow. But, as the adventurers stepped into the room, sending particles flying into the air, they couldn't help but cough until their lungs were raw! As the dust settled and the torchlight filled the room, they saw it against the far wall. Light glinted off the gold and bronze. The gemstones gleamed under the flickering flames. The Sarcophagus of the Tomb! Their lungs burned. Fear gripped their hearts. The adventurers turned and fled, screaming about the curse that had certainly afflicted them.Then, King Tut just sighed. Tut shrugged, turned around, went back through the secret passage to the tomb's kitchenette and turned off the stove. "I guess I'll save the tea for my next guests." It would have to be another decade of The Great British Bake Off and Mary Tyler Moore reruns. Unless! There was one other chance to make some friends...Design & DetailsIt is time for the season where even the spookiest of curses are welcomed with wide arms. Our Made by Us design team is happy to clean you up and get you ready for the event with this King Tut Sarcophagus costume. This is a long robe that zips up the back and is printed all over with gleaming gold, gemstone patterns, and designed inspired by ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. The robe has foam stitched into the panel for a stiff look (so hang it up before wearing) and the head and chin-piece have matching options to complete the illusion. Pick up some gold body paint or gloves to permanently etch this awesome look in the memories of all who look upon you! No Curses IncludedThanks to the refined look of this King Tut Sarcophagus costume, you'll be Tutting around the Halloween shindig in no time. Folks will be wondering where that myth of the curse even came from... so long as they treat you right, anyway.

Product DetailsGoodbye Swiss army knife, hello exclusive Deluxe Viking Spear Axe Prop Weapon! The realistic plastic prop is molded and textured to look like a silver-tone axe blade with intricate carving on a wooden shaft.

Hopefully everyone will be so intimidated by your fierce and wild appearance that they just hand over their gilt books and grain bins and whatever other spoils they're hiding.
Beyond the HorizonCan you imagine all the sights the pioneers saw on their way out west? If they traveled from the East Coast to California, they would have seen things that they couldn't have even imagined. First, there were the great plains. Pioneers wrote that looking out over the prairies was like looking out over the ocean. There was grass as far as the eye could see, the wind blowing through it, causing it to move like waves. Then, the pioneers crossed the Missouri River and began to see signs of the Badlands, strange hills that were just a hint of the wild, rocky Utah landscape they would cross in the weeks to come. The life of a pioneer wasn't easy. They faced hunger, thirst, an endless landscape that was all too easy to get lost in, and dangerous wild animals. But we still have to wonder what it was like to see a whole new world unfold right beyond the horizon, day after day!Design & DetailsThis Made By Us pioneer costume is perfect for those kids who are always daydreaming about heading west. The costume features a collarless gingham shirt and a brown vest that buttons up the front. Matching breeches have an easy-on elastic waistband at the back, and decorative buttons on the front. Topped off with a wide brim hat, this costume is ready for whatever might be next on your child's pioneering adventure!Happy TrailsIf you want the adventure without the dysentery, playing dress-up is a great way to go! This high-quality costume can withstand plenty of pretend Oregon Trail adventures and still be the perfect look for school plays and Halloween. The more use your child gets out of it, the more authentic it'll look. Be prepared to talk covered wagons and provisions because it looks like your kiddo has plenty more happy trails ahead!

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. Having thousands of servants isn't really a thing anymore, and you probably wouldn't want it anyway because, you know, modern sensibilities and human equality and all. But you can still treat yo self! Get that cat eyeliner you've been coveting for months. Book yourself a manicure fit for a princess. 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!
LITTLE SISTER GOES BIGTIMEThe myth of the Gorgons goes largely unknown by many, despite the fact that just about everyone has heard of Medusa. Did you know that Medusa is just one sister among a trio? She's the youngest gal of the three serpent-haired and cursed aquatic sisters who could turn mortals to stone with just a gaze. While Stheno and Euryale might have been immortal, it was only Medusa that made the history books! Talk about a little sister with things to do. Unfortunately, the youngest Gorgon sister doesn't have much happiness to her tale. Cursed by Athena for no good reason, Medusa became a horrible monster that everyone feared... at least until another demigod showed up with a whole bunch of blessed divine artifacts and beheaded her! Of course, we're talking about a time of magic and mystery. And now is the time to rewrite some of that story! DESIGN & DETAILSDespite it being really tough to create a design based off a gal that is impossible to look at, our designers have worked a miracle and created this legendary look. Our exclusive Deluxe Medusa Costume is a green and scale-printed bodysuit that will give you the serpentine sway that tempts all mortals. It has the added detail of extending along your hand with a ring sleeve. The bronze halter dress drapes around your hips with a long Grecian drape between your legs. The final detail is a luxurious green faux gem brooch that matches the scales. Pick up a serpent wig or detailed bow and take your revenge on Perseus and Athena! A PETRIFYING POSEWhen you are garbed up as this glorious Gorgon, know that the striking the right pose may stiffen folks into stone. You'll want to practice this with care to make sure it doesn't happen by accident because there aren't many ways to fix the cursed power of this exclusive Medusa Costume.
A Normal FantasyIt started off like any other day: You tidied up your cottage, spun some on your spinning wheel, fed your animals, and headed to your garden to pluck any troublesome weeds. But as you labored over a particularly stubborn weed, you heard it: the warning bell. Something terrible was coming. Before you could run back into the safety of your cottage, a shadow fell across your garden. You looked up, horror welling up inside you—it was a dragon! You tried to run, but it swooped down from the sky and grabbed you in its talons, hauling you hundreds of feet in the air. All you could do was scream for help.Thankfully, your screams caught the attention of a nearby knight, and he raced to your rescue. You could see him galloping on his noble steed, following you to the dragon’s lair. Relief washed over you as one thought overrode all others:“Thank goodness I wore my good dress today.”Product DetailsObviously, it would never do to be rescued looking like a farmer! When you’re a damsel in distress, you’ve got to look your best when your knight in shining armor arrives. That’s why we recommend always stepping out in this Womens Medieval Maiden Costume. The scarlet pullover dress has a cape attached at the shoulder seams, metallic gold braid trim and puffed sleeves, along with a scoop neckline with a ruffled elastic edge and a plastic gold filigree pin with an faux oval gem at the center. It also comes with a foam headpiece that ties around the head with a gold braid.No matter what medieval monster you find yourself facing, this dress guarantees you’ll always look your best!
Eureka! I've found it!Everyone has lightbulb moments in their day to day lives. But if you make an extravagant scene to celebrate, folks might think you're just a little off your rocker. Okay, we realize you put that pre-fab furniture together all by yourself without looking at the instructions, but you don't have to tell everyone in the neighborhood about it... they'll think you're a little wacky! Unless you have wild and crazy white hair. Then, that big cry of, "Eureka!" is just kind of expected.If your little guy is the type who likes to figure things out and make his own discoveries, then we've got the exact look for him. He can become a heavy duty "theoretical" scientist when he goes in this crazy costume. Whether a top-notch physicist who's writing his combined theory or even just a lab coat wearing dude who likes to show off that he's one smart cookie, we're sure any little one will be able to have a fun and imaginative time in this unique costume! It includes a lab coat, wig, and even a mustache to turn any little one into a truly iconic figure. Product DetailsWhen assembled, this Albert Einstein/Physicist costume will totally transform your little guy or gal into the father of relativity, and with relative ease! A signature mustache secures with self-backed adhesive and matches the white synthetic wig to achieve the character effect.Einstein Costume CoolWe love the idea of promoting discovery, science, and the incessant question of "why." With this ensemble, any child is sure to have the confidence to follow the evidence to their own conclusions, and perhaps be inspired to one day lead a lecture or to make new discoveries about theoretical constructs on their own. And who knows, maybe E is going to equal something completely different this time!
Kids always think that they are invulnerable and that can make for a pretty intimidating life for those of us who are obliged to keep them from suffering any lasting harm. Now, many of us are alright with the idea that they’ll head out and scuff a knee or even get a bit of a black lip in the midst of their play. It builds up a bit of an immune system and also helps to teach them some practical lessons about personal safety while also letting them actually live out their lives. Still, there are limits to what we’re willing to let them expose themselves towards!So, when we noticed that there was a rather boisterous knight hanging around the neighborhood, offering to duel a bunch of the residents in order to gain passage down the sidewalk, alley, or once even to get inside the bagel shoppe, we had a few concerns. Fortunately, the knight wasn’t too much of a struggle to defeat… excepting that he just kept coming back and seemed to suffer no pause from any damage that he suffered. It immediately made us all realize that this guy was going to teach our tykes that they were truly immortal… even if it meant losing a couple limbs! Flesh wound, our butts!So, we are getting ahead of this fiasco by giving you the opportunity to educate your tykes on the amazing Black Knight yourselves. This costume is a complete and near historic armor set including a foam fronted shirt with a silver mesh collar and sleeves to imitate chain mail and a foam helmet that fastens by Hook and Loop fastener and covers the whole head. The foam armaments continue, including gauntlets, boot tops, knee guards, and the face grille can optionally cover the face or be left open. A bright red cape finishes off the look, though you can accessorize with a weapon and shield for the full package. With all this armor, your tyke will be truly protected, though we still recommend avoiding blocking the paths of certain kings.
Floral FlairSome might say that the ruler of an ancient land needs to put forward a face of stern strength. There may be any number of expectations for a young queen, especially from neighboring monarchs. But that's the thing about every moment after a royal coronation. It is up to your Cleopatra to decide how they want to present themselves! Will it be with an intimidating stare that will have all others shaking in their sandals? Or will they show a grace that will live in memories for an age?Either way, we can't recommend enough that your little Cleo finds a look that will allow them to stand out. Black and gold are a beloved combo for any Ancient Egyptian style but have you both considered the perfection of pastel!? Design & Details Crown your kiddo with a look that will last the ages with this exclusive Rose Lavender Cleopatra costume. This is a Made By Us design that combines a gorgeous ombre effect and a shimmering mesh overlay with a sleeveless, full-length costume dress. Hook and loops in the back make for an easy way to fasten the garment and a pair of golden wrist cuffs, a matching belt, and a faux leather collar accessorize the outfit. Top everything off with the cobra headpiece and your Cleopatra is ready to rule.
Nah, QueenLet's set the record straight. Goddesses are not basic queens. Yes, queens can be righteous, brutal, powerful. But they simply aren't Goddesses. Queens might rule over armies and economies but only a goddess can control the weather and bring endless winter to the earth when someone really peeves her off. Goddess stories of terror, creation, and petty revenge are so good that we can't even find any to tell in this description without getting into trouble with the boss. So if "Yaas, Queen" isn't enough for you. If quivering in fear seems more like your style then this Women's Olympic Empress costume is the one for you!Details & DesignYou'll confidently rule the roost when you slip into this goddess costume. A slim white sheath is cinched with a golden belt and topped with a gold-edged one-shoulder neckline. The shoulder is accented with a printed medallion and a red swath of cloth drapes around your hip in a straight out of the ancient world way. Golden armbands wrap around the arms to top off this costume in just the right way!You've Got the PowerIt might take a little time to get used to all this power you've gained. After all, mortals used to go through perilous hurdles and odysseys to gain an Olympic status. Now, all you need to do is order this costume and the power will be yours! Now you might not be able to send a storm to follow that guy who cut you off in traffic, but finish off your look with a laurel leaf crown and a pair of gladiator sandals and you'll feel like you have all the mortals at your beck and call. Just remember, you don't just have the power of a throne, you've got the power of the heavens!

Country MaidenEveryone always wants to dress up as a Renaissance princess. But here's the thing. When it comes to beauty and elegance, dressing up as someone from the royal court in the 1600s isn't where it's at. Towns and courts in the Renaissance era were so very dirty. In fact, if noblewomen wanted to go anywhere they wore shoes called "chopines". These were extremely tall platform shoes that helped keep hemlines free from all the animal muck and sewer mud in the streets. Unlike modern high heels, these shoes required women to be accompanied by friends on each side just to keep a lady upright. No, when it comes to dressing up in the Renaissance era, you want to be a fresh country lass. No lead-based makeup, platform heels, or suffocating layers of skirts to hold you back from all that 1600s style fun!Design & DetailsThis Celtic Renaissance dress was designed by our in-house creative team. The dress has a gorgeous off-the-shoulder chemise in clean white. The forest green overdress fastens up the front with adjustable laces for a corset look that's quite comfortable. The uniquely cut dress is trimmed with silver and green Celtic trim at the waist for a look that hints at the romance of the highlands!Meeting At the FaireAre you headed to the Ren Faire this year? Dreaming of dancing around a maypole and biting into a whole turkey leg with abandon? If you want to live out your historical fantasies, make sure you're not encumbered by pounds of velvet skirt and stiff corset boning. This Renaissance costume will make sure you feel comfortable while also looking stunning in front of castle backdrops. Whether you're heading to the Renaissance Faire or Scottish festival, taking part in a play, or dressing up for Halloween, we're sure that you'll love slipping into this Made by Us historical costume!
If you have an affinity for historical accessories or love the Renaissance period, we know you will slay for our Knight Toy Sword, exclusively made by us. The toy sword is designed to look like a real knight's sword, which would have been used by warriors in the Medieval times! Just pair it with any costume, or use it as a toy for imaginative play!
Be the God of the SeaBeing the ruler of the oceans and seas seems like a pretty decent gig. After all, being the god who controls the seas means that you get to spend a ton of time relaxing on the beach. Just think about that! You get to be the king of surfing waves and drinking tropical fruit drinks while you lay around on a beach towel. You get to be master of challenging the pantheon of Greek gods to a game of volleyball. You probably could even get the honorary title of Marco Polo champion.Yes, being the Greek “God of the Sea” certainly must come with its perks. It’s really quite a shame that you weren’t born into the pantheon… but maybe there’s another way for you to enjoy being the ruler of the sea.Design & DetailsThis adult Poseidon costume turns you into the one and only master of the seas. It comes with plenty of details that solidify your look as a Greek god. The top has large, shimmering sequins that give the look of real golden scales. The bottoms are a pair of flowing pants that feature blue-green colors of the sea. The cuffs and belt are made of metallic gold foam to give you a truly regal appearance. Combine it all together and no one will question your seat on the throne at the bottom of the ocean. Just make sure you pick up one of our trident accessories to put the finishing touch on your transformation into Poseidon!Poseidon Costume for MenThere's never been a better time to jump into the sea! By why just take a swim when you can rule the entire ocean? Okay, so this Poseidon costume might not actually give you ownership of the world's waves, but you sure will look the part, and we think you'll definitely impress everyone you meet, especially the goldfish!

Whenever they're depicted on old pots, in the ruins of ancient mosaics, and carved into stones flanking historic cities, they are bedecked with fancy tall feathered helmets.

With all this finery, there's no way Greek and Roman soldiers would have let their footwear fall to the wayside. What's the point of polishing your bronze chest piece if you're planning on slipping on sneakers before mounting your chariot?Product DetailsWhether you're dressing up as a well to do empress or a dangerous gladiator, this classic ancient sandal is key.

Modern Age MedusaWe often wonder what would happen if the Medusa was around in our modern age. We know that people who looked her directly in the eyes would turn to stone. That much would still apply. But what about video calls? If she rang someone up on Zoom would they turn to stone on the other end or would they be able to talk over her plans for renovating the ruins she's been living in over the past thousand years? Then again, would she be able to go out and about without anyone turning into marble if she wore a pair of sunglasses? Or does one glance at the rest of her face make you sedimental? Maybe stepping into Medusa's shoes for a day would give us a little inside to the rules and regulations of modern-day Medusa!Design & DetailsThis gorgeous Made By Us Medusa costume channels Ancient Greek mythology from head to toe.

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!
As a princess in a faraway kingdom, you have a lot on your plate. You’ve got to learn proper court etiquette, practice ridiculously complicated social dances and prepare to take over once your father isn’t able to rule anymore. You’ve got to help negotiate precarious peace treaties with rival kingdoms while politely declining offers of marriage from every suitable bachelor in the tri-kingdom area. And now, on top of all that, you’ve got to deal with a dragon that is running amok across your countryside, burning villages and devouring sheep like marshmallows. Your father already sent out three of his best knights to slay the dragon, and they returned like tin-can French fries. Your people are growing desperate.You’ll just have to take care of the problem yourself.After all, you ride better than your father. You’re a crack shot with a bow and arrow. You’ve been trained in weapons and fighting. You don’t need a man to defend you. You’re no damsel in distress. You’re a damsel who’s about to cause that dragon some distress of its own.Before you ride out on your noble steed, though, you’d better suit up. We suggest our Teen Warrior Knight Costume to ensure maximum protection while allowing for best range of movement under fire. The pleated dress has sequined trim and shiny armor over the front, along with your royal crest right in the center. The black cape, trimmed with faux fur, comes with a hood and offers added protection to duck underneath during an attack. There are also black boot covers to protect your legs from the dragon’s tail. So hurry up and put on our Teen Warrior Knight Costume, and you’ll be slaying dragons in no time!
Embarking on a crusade on behalf of your kingdom? Guarding a mysterious and powerful artifact from dangerous foes? Heading to the renaissance faire, and can't decide what to wear? The one thing all of these situations have in common is that this Men's Templar Knight Costume with give you the heroic look you need to be victorious!Back in Medieval times, if you were trekking across the realm with nefarious intent, you'd probably want to stay away from any Templar Knights you came across. The good news was that they were easy to spot in their white tunics with the big red crosses on them (and also the gleaming swords they carried); but the bad news was that they were some of the fiercest and best equipped fighters you could find. That's only bad news if you were on their bad side, though. If you were skilled and dedicated enough, you could always join their order and become a Templar, and then you'd be fighting alongside the very best!Okay, maybe becoming a Templar Knight was a little more complicated than swinging a sword and paying a monthly membership fee; but when you're donning this dashingly heroic costume, you'll appear up to the task! Armor up in this long white and red cross detailed tunic with its attached metallic mesh sleeves and the matching hood, which resemble sturdy chain mail. Add a pair of rugged looking boots and a fierce longsword to tote around as you carry out whatever quest you're charged with!
...grey-eyed Athena slowed the night when night was most profound... - Homer, The OdysseyMost little girls want to be a princess. They want to be rescued by a handsome prince. They want the fairy tale. But that is all it is, a fairy tale. What they really want is a pretty dress, and a story with dragons, and heroic saviors.Now, don't get us wrong. We would take a pretty dress, and a story with dragons everyday of the week. That would be awesome. But sometimes we want a little more. So does your daughter. She doesn’t just want to be a pretty face. She wants to be a Goddess. A wise, and powerful goddess that doesn’t have to rely on anyone to save her. She wants to be intelligent, and strong. (That doesn't mean she can't also have a pretty dress at the same time.)She can be everything she wants to be. She is already brave, and smart. She fights for what she believes in. Now all she needs is this Child Athena Goddess Costume. It will make her feel like the goddess you already know she is. Yes, it will be a pretty dress, but she will also embody Athena, the Goddess of wisdom. The kind of goddess who doesn’t need a man to save her, because she is also the goddess of war. She might not have stories with dragons, but she will have stories where she defeats Titans. It is better to be wise, and fierce, than to just have a pretty dress.
We have so many questions about how princesses lived in the Medieval era. How could they stand wearing those gorgeous gowns without taking even one selfie? How did they keep those billowing sleeves from dragging through their morning porridge? How often did they actually interact with unicorns, once a week, monthly, biannually? Life as a royal may not have been the perfect life that we've come to imagine from fairy tales but those regal girls certainly knew how to dress. If you see your daughter snap to attention when anyone mentions castles, she will love this luxurious teal gown. Straight out of Avalon, this graceful ensemble would blend into the King Arthur tales perfectly. Once in this gown, she's going to want her first unicorn ride but it'll be up to you to let her know that those mystical horses haven't been spotted since the 1200s. Sure, she might be disappointed but she'll forget all about it once she sees the photos you've been snapping of her. Regal details pepper this velvety gown from head to toe. The metallic edging of the full, hanging sleeves is echoed in the floral design along the neckline and the brocade ribbon belt. Any courtiers that saw a princess in a gown this gorgeous would want her crowned, pronto. Whether your family is attending a Renaissance festival or your girl wants to dress up as Camelot's first lady, Guinevere, for Halloween she's bound to feel that rush of nobility when she feels the lush fabric of her sleeves. Turns out, it's easy to have to best of both worlds. She can dress like a princess but she doesn't have to give up modern conveniences like electricity and plumbing. Now that she's learned that you're just going to have to get used to called her "my liege".
Longhouse LifestyleIt's dinner time in the longhouse. The longhouse is lit with a central fire. There are long fur-lined benches along the sides of the thick turf walls. Lamps fueled with cod liver oil and cottongrass also add extra light to the family dinner.

When you dress your little one in this fur-accented costume, you can be sure he'll look right at home sipping from a bowl in a long-house. Who knows what other Viking skills he'll pick up.

The look includes a Nordic print trimmed tunic that's attached to a sharp light blue cloak. When finished off with the matching faux fur trimmed boot toppers, he'll look like a timeless tough guy, ready to set sail.Teamwork makes Schemes WorkIs your kiddo ready to get in touch with his warrior spirit?

To the modern eye, the ancient Greek pantheon might look a little silly decked out in those archaic robes. But when your to-do list includes managing the harvest, selectively meddling in the affairs of mortals, and getting back at Hades for slipping a whoopee cushion onto the Throne of Zeus, you need an outfit that offers plenty of comfort and a full range of motion. And nothing compares to this tried-and-true traditional look for inspiring devotion and culling favor!Just make sure your costume meets divine standards for craftsmanship and quality, like this Plus Size Olympic Goddess Costume. Because there's a pretty strict dress code on Mt. Olympus these days, thanks to the steady stream of mortals who think they can cut holes in a pillowcase, sneak up to the summit, and pretend they'd been around since the age of the Titans. You're not fooling anybody, guys! Not unless you have a really great outfit!And if you manage to join the ranks of the other great-looking humans who have successfully infiltrated the gods' inner circle, try not to go crazy with all of that power, okay? Because getting zapped by lightning or having frogs rain from the sky is not what we had in mind when we showed you this excellent costume. We just thought you might want to take this classic look to an upcoming party, or immerse yourself in some classical literature by slipping into some more appropriate attire. We really don't want to have to beg for mercy. Not again!

Everyone who sees him will be conquered by him!
What do we think of when we look to the ancient time of the Romans and Greeks? Nobility! Finery! Passionate and powerful gods! Academic and tempered minds engaging in worthy debate and discourse over complex and important matters!

Have you ever wanted to be the President of the United States? It is a thought that many of us have had from time to time and one that, certainly, our parents have considered for us as they proclaim that we had the ability to become anything that we set our minds towards. The Presidency seems to always be that highest pinnacle, the crowning achievement. Then again, some can look at high public offices and wince a bit, pointing at a number that have left a number of us wanting and a few others aghast as we’re trying to figure how they managed any votes! And, even if you think you can handle the job, campaigning is such a pain in the rear.But, there are much easier ways to become the President without having to run around the whole country, talking yourself up and kissing every baby until you’ve managed to win enough votes—and we’re not talking about voter fraud, either! You can just transform yourself into a President that everyone already recognizes with this Ronald Reagan mask. Transmogrify with this full molded latex mask and get ready to yell “Reagan Smash!” as you topple your opponents as one of the most heavy hitting Presidents of them all. But, a warning: remember that Reagan masks usually have a different meaning when you go to banks, so we don’t recommend that.

Some kids even band together to form the perfect group, capable of obtaining the biggest haul that the neighborhood has ever seen! Of course, there's no team as well-suited to collecting candy as the legendary Musketeers!They were known for their acts of bravery and their talent in the art of teamwork.

2016–2020Love 'em. Hate 'em. Either way, you can't deny that it was a wild ride having the business man-turned politician for the U.S. President during those years.

Everyone knows that being a goddess would be amazing. But what would be the best color outfit for a goddess to wear while going about her celestial business? Purple, of course! When your little one is dressed up in this Purple Goddess Costume, she'll look like she'd just strolled out of an Ancient Greek myth!There are a few purple things in the natural world, like grapes, lilacs, and a few flashy birds and lizards, so people have been aware of this pretty color for quite a while. But throughout history, purple dye has been notoriously difficult and expensive to make, and in the case of the dye called "Tyrian purple," which was made of rotten sea snails, it was also pretty gross to make! This meant that for most of history, only royalty and the very wealthy could afford to wear purple outfits. But no goddess is going to be thwarted by earthly technological restrictions like that, and if she wants to wear a purple dress, she's just a snap of her fingers away from having the chicest look on Mount Olympus!Luckily, this dress doesn't require divine intervention (or even rotten snails) to get its stunning purple hue. The cream colored synthetic gown and shoulder drapes transition to a heavenly purple color, which is complimented by gold details and brocade ribbons. Once she puts on the included gold headband and a pair of ancient style sandals, she'll be the best dressed goddess at any Greek costume party!
Navigating the UnderworldThe Egyptian underworld is a complicated place. Spirits that passed through would have to navigate all sorts of obstacles including strange creatures, gatekeepers, and a total of 42 divine judges. Smart souls would study the book of the dead to plead their case with the right terms in order to convince the judges to overlook their earthly wrongdoings. After that intimidating ordeal, the souls would then go on to get their hearts weighed against the feather of truth. If all that went well, the souls would be welcomed into the afterlife by Osiris. Of course, only royalty went through this process with Anubis by their side. So, this year, if you're heading to the Egyptian underworld as a mummy, make sure you're treated like a king and bring this Anubis staff with you. A little swagger goes a long way in the realm of the dead!Product DetailsPerfect for a range of ancient Egyptian costumes, this Anubis staff is molded with all sorts of eerie details. The staff is wrapped with an eerie bandage texture. Anubis's head tops the staff and has a striped Pharaoh headpiece. With the face of a jackal, the god has alert, perky ears and a dignified face, ready to help you through all the ups and downs of mummy life.
10,000 Leagues Under the SeaBeing the god of the sea, you have never had much interest in the affairs of mortals. There is so much ocean to rule that you are never short on things to do or places to go! From sirens, merfolk, sharks, and krakens, you have your hands full with the creatures of the sea. Not to mention Cyclopes!But still, there are some things that you think the land dwellers do right. For example, making the perfectly crispy and delicious French fry is nigh impossible when you are so deep in the ocean. Using ocean vents and sea cucumbers just doesn’t create that golden color and crisp texture that you love. Ah well, you can’t win them all!Kinda FishyWhether you are planning on causing a roiling typhoon or a whirlpool of unimaginable horrors, this Poseidon Costume Kit is the perfect way to show everyone that you mean business. Surfing around with your trident and picking up ships like toys is cool and all, but without your bracers and crown you are just some anonymous god.Luckily, this golden, finned pair of bracers and nine starred-crown are perfect for you! You will feel like royalty when you ride a shark into the party wearing these!

Your little one is the stoutest knight in the land, and a stout knight needs a solid suit of armor. Equip them with this Valiant Knight Costume before they head out on their next epic quest, and they'll be ready for any foe with whom they cross paths!At first glance, knights may just seem like any old soldier from medieval times, riding into battle in a suit of shiny armor and getting into sword duels with villains.

Perhaps you've noticed your wee-knight training for a life of excitement and honor (possibly with the family dog acting as their squire) in the backyard.

The chain mail hood is made of metallic knit mesh, resembling real steel mail, while the foam gauntlets have the look of heavy metal armor, without being heavy or clunky.

A Lightbulb MomentWe know you’re a brilliant inventor. Just look at that machine you created that can butter bread while also brushing your teeth? (That one took a few trips to the hospital before you perfected it!) And don’t you hold a patent for a mega-jumbo-automatic flyswatter that can smash all the flies in a room at once?

Even though our professional training is in making Halloween costumes, we have an amateur's enthusiasm for a lot of different occupations. So the part of us that likes to read biographies and volunteer at the local historical society was really psyched about this regal Toddler Knight Costume! Unfortunately, their museum doesn't have any displays about the age of chivalry, since the head-to-toe chain mail fad never quite made it to this part of the world. But we're still really excited, so we thought we'd take a shot at giving this outfit some brief historical context. Ahem:About a thousand years ago, people were so good at putting pointy pieces of metal on the end of sticks, they didn't think there was any room for improvement. But along came a clever (and kind of crazy) blacksmith who realized that linking a bunch of little metal loops together was a really great way to stop pointy pieces of metal from getting to the squishy parts of a person! Everybody who had a suit of this new kind of armor became very popular. In fact, the inhabitants of each village and hamlet handed out candy to these glittering guardians, hoping that they'd stick around for a while. That gave rise to knights, a class of armor-wearers for hire, who went from town to town collecting treats for a living! And sometimes they wore crowns for fun (and dramatic effect).In that proud tradition we humbly offer this detailed outfit, so that anyone can reap the sweet rewards that come from dressing up in a shiny coat of mail! The end!
The Vikings… warriors, artists, adventurers… They had a pretty easy set of rules for achieving greatness in life and the afterlife: be great! Prove oneself through combat and keep a blade at your side, live and die in valor and find your way to that glorious table at the foot of the gods, preparing for the mightiest of all Final Battles. And, if the culture and bravery of its warriors aren’t enough, just look at their rather efficient set of deities. Those Norse gods mean business! Odin promised no frost giants on Midgard and, sure enough, we are bereft of any such terrifying denizens of the other worlds.But, even though the days of Vikings sailing from one place to another in a bounding and exploratory quest might be over, their legends still echo throughout our time. Between varied incarnations of the mighty god of thunder and popularized icons of their culture throughout our own, we realize that Ragnarok still approaches. The end days and the final battle may yet be upon us any day!Do not disappoint the Valkyries who will decide who joins at the grand table and who will simply fade from memory. Join in the fight at Ragnarok with this Adult Viking Warrior costume. A comfortable pullover netted black and silver tunic combined with the faux leather chest armor with brilliant silver studs gets you armored and ready to deflect any attacks from your pitiful enemies. Faux fur gauntlets, shin guards, and a studded belt keep your extremities well guarded and, of course, what Viking would be worth its wrath without a helmet! But, it isn’t enough just to be armored like a warrior. Let’s go the whole road and sit you at the head of the table as a warrior lord with this velvet cape with faux fur trim.

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! It's got everything you need to put together a look that's classic, elegant, and courtly. Add some glitz and glamour with a golden gown that Julius Caesar, Mark Antony, and even the real Cleopatra would notice.
