A New Emperor Takes the Reigns"Cry havok, and let slip the dogs of war!"Never say Julius Caesar didn't have a flair for the dramatic (yes yes, we know it was Shakespeare who actually wrote those words but just go with us).

When you put it all together, you'll be ready to turn your home into the royal palace of Rome!
But wherefore do not you a mightier wayMake war upon this bloody tyrant, Time?And fortify your self in your decayWith means more blessed than my barren rhyme?- William ShakespeareWe all want to be remembered for something. But that tyrant Time works constantly to erase the memory of our work and deeds. We remember only a large handful of people from the last few centuries, while we remember the names of only a spare few a thousand years prior. That sucks, doesn't it?We don't mean to inspire in you any sort of existential dread. We only mean to inspire you to action! Like role-playing the part of one of the most prominent people and minds in the short history of the United States. A top, ever-influential diplomat, a sharp-witted writer and biographer, a dizzyingly productive inventor—Benjamin Franklin has so far fought that tyrant Time with valiance. (Not only did he invent the lightning rod and bifocals, but he also facilitated fire departments, libraries, newspapers, and universities!What better way to forge your own timeless path than stepping into the coveted shoes of someone so accomplished? Now you can become Benjamin Franklin's doppelganger with this Adult Benjamin Franklin Costume. This costume is great for historical plays—or anything, really. The first time you wear it, ask if anyone has seen your ID in their wallet—and if you walk away $100 richer, let us know it worked.
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!
High Class Hijinks Have you ever rolled out of bed and thought to yourself, "I don't want to answer texts and make to-do lists today. I want to watch horse races, go for promenades, and attend balls at fancy pillared houses while wearing my fanciest hat and drinking all the mint juleps I want"? Honestly, same. Most of us, however, are stymied by the fact that we don't have anything in our closets that look like appropriate attire for a horse race or a cotillion. Don't despair, though! Those mint juleps are still calling your name! Product DetailsYou'll be ready to make your debut as a fine Southern lady in this exclusive Plus Size Women's Southern Belle Costume! The floor-length gown zips up the back and is made of dainty, cream-colored muslin that's printed all over with a soft pink floral pattern. Ruffles trim the neckline and cap sleeves, and the bodice is decorated with crimson ribbon to match the wide taffeta sash. Each of the skirt's three tiers is trimmed in velvet ribbon and wide bands of machine lace. A built-in petticoat adds extra volume. Bless Your Heart Southern debutantes were smart. They ran businesses and farms, and organized plenty of social events, but had a ready-made excuse for anything they didn't want to do. "Someone needs to take out the trash? Sorry, I can't. I'm wearing *this.*" (Points to skirt.) Plus, they actively enforced comfortable social distancing with the sheer circumference of their dresses. No one can invade your personal bubble if your hoopskirts are in the way!
Coming at 'chaCleopatra might have been lost to history if she didn't know how to make an entrance. Seriously! She wasn't first in line. She was a woman. She could easily have lost her power. But she wanted to rule and she would stop at nothing to make that happen. When her brother cast her out of Alexandria, the capital of Egypt, she simply waited until Caeser came to visit and talk politics. She then had her servants roll her in a rug that was a "gift" for the ruler of Rome. They unfurled her before the Roman general and let her make the first impression for the history books. With her grace, wit, and wisdom, Cleo convinced the military genius that it would be better if she took over the Egyptian rule instead of her troublesome brother. And that, friends, is history. Product DetailsIt takes a lot of confidence to rule like legendary Cleopatra and no ensemble says confidence quite like this look. In classy black and gold, this costume features a geometric bodysuit with a sheer panel at the front and back, framing the hips. You'll love the combination of long sleeves and dramatic V-neck. A zipper up the back and snap at the crotch makes bathroom breaks and costume changes a breeze. Topped off with a beaded cobra headpiece, you'll look every inch the queen as soon as you slip into this Cleopatra costume.Asp Her No QuestionsWe can only imagine all the secrets that Cleopatra had when she met her untimely end. She knew the secrets of Rome as well as ancient Egypt. But as we're not even sure that the stories we tell about this legendary are true or not, we just have to put ourselves in her place and imagine the secrets she carried. It's your turn to live the legend!

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 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.
Einstein had a ton of great qualities. Sure, we all admire his groundbreaking work on physics and his revolutionary theory of relativity and he was actually quite a skilled musician. Did you know that he played the violin since the age of 5? That’s all great, but we want to praise him for something that a bit… a bit out of the ordinary. Can we take a minute to admire his wild hair style and that awesome mustache? That whacky look is the kind of thing that makes science look like a whole bunch of fun!Albert Einstein does look a little bit like he rubber his hair on a helium balloon and that’s exactly the kind of reason your little genius will want to dress up like the iconic mathematician. This costume comes with everything you need to turn your child into just that sort of whacky scientist!This exclusive toddler Einstein costume brings you a look straight from the history books. The jacket and pants combo are both made to look like something right out of the German scientist’s closet. A blue tie is also included to make sure your kid gets Albert’s signature style just right! Of course, no Einstein costume would be complete without that hair and the mustache, right? That’s why this toddler outfit also comes with a frizzy white wig and a puffy white mustache to help your child get every detail perfect. Your child may not quite be old enough to understand what the theory of special relativity yet, but he’ll still be ready to recite his thoughts on why cookies are really delicious when he wears this adorable costume.
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.

Monstrous MaidenMedusa is a fairly well-known character in Greek mythology. One of the three Gorgon sisters, she is most known for her hair made of snakes and her ability to turn anyone who looks at her to stone. Although ancient Greek artists imagined her as a monster, most later works depict her as beautiful (other than her hideous hair). Her story has been retold many times over the years, and usually, she’s painted as a horrifying creature that Perseus is a hero for defeating. However, other versions are more sympathetic to her plight. If you’d like to tell your own version of the story (or just have the power to turn people to stone), perhaps you’d enjoy dressing up as this character!Design & DetailsIf you’ve cooked up your own Gorgon outfit and all you need is some reptilian hair, then you might like this Adult Medusa Snake Wig! Our designers worked hard to bring this mythical character’s most iconic feature to life. The beautifully patterned green snakes are attached to a headband to keep them on your head.

We’re sure you’ll have a great time as this mythical character, but we must ask that you refrain from turning anyone to stone!
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!

Those Romans sure knew a few things about classic party looks and indulgent relaxation, eh?
Welcome to the wild, wonderful world of steampunk, where steam power represents the pinnacle of human innovation and Nikola Tesla is a demigod amongst men.If you've played BioShock or read much H.G.

Nowadays when you see a three-cornered hat with a pointed front and a feather attached, the first thing that springs to mind is Robin Hood. It’s actually kind of ironic that this style of hat is associated with fiction’s greatest champion of the poor, considering that it was originally something of a symbol of high status. Known as a “bycocket” hat, it was a popular style with both royal men and women back in the day, partly because it was an easy style to decorate with jewels and other flashy touches that let the poor folks know just where you stood.Leave it to Robin Hood to not only steal his wealthy neighbors’ money and wound their pride, but also bite their style. That is some next-level socially conscious thievery right there. You can keep the rebel spirit of Robin Hood alive in this tall, pointed bycocket hat. Made with a poly/cotton blend, this jaunty number is fully adjustable and features crisscross lacing up the front and a pair of buttons at the back. It’s the perfect topper for any Robin Hood ensemble, and it’s even better if you can get yourself invited to some super swanky costume party. Your hosts will never suspect that even your headwear is mocking them.
Life as a PioneerThe pioneers were brave people. A picturesque life on the prairie included all sorts of dangers. Relentlessly hot summers gave way to brutally cold winters. People would look up from their work when and see a wall of prairie fires headed toward their farm, growing taller with each foot of grass that was consumed. Then there were the terrifying swarms of locusts that not only ate the crops but would devour the clothes and the clothes line if the laundry hadn't been brought in fast enough.So why, after all that trouble, do we remember the days of the pioneer so fondly? It was a time of hope. Those people with limited options who had only known the crowded city streets of coastal cities could find a place where they could watch the sunset and rise on an open horizon. They could build something all their own and truly be free. The communities out there were the definition of tightly knit. And how awesome would it have been to travel by covered wagon?Product DetailsWhen your daughter dresses as in this dress, she'll feel as free as that pioneer girl collecting herbs and roots on the prairie. You can almost imagine the larks singing in the grasses as she spins around in the long skirt. Whether she's starring as the charming Laura Ingalls Wilder for in the school play or the whole family is headed to a Rendezvous, this costume will make you feel sentimental for that sun-washed, simple time. One thing is for sure, it's hard not to get into character in this ensemble. Next thing you know she'll want to trade in her tablet for hoop and stick game.

The prehistoric bone club was only wielded by the mightiest of Neanderthals; the ones who were strong enough to hunt a menacing dinosaur with a sturdy bone structure. If you're planning on being king of the cave and have your leopard tunic already, adding the mighty bone club to your ensemble is a must.During the dawn of man only the strong survived, and the famed dinosaur club was sure to assert your dominance.

It kind of looks like a shin bone from a poorly drawn Apatosaurus. Or maybe a femur from an oddly-shaped sabre tooth tiger? Not sure. Wherever you want to pretend you found it, works for us.

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.

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.

Action HeroIn comic books, superheroes save the day quickly. There's a big "Pow" followed by a "Kurthwop" and "Yoink". But for real-life heroes, the fight lasts a lot longer than a panel. Often, the fight lasts a lifetime. For Susan B Anthony, that fight started when she attended a suffragette event with her family and the age of twenty-eight. She was instantly inspired. Soon, she was the one making speeches but that's not all. She wrote articles, organized marches, and eventually, she was arrested for defying authority and casting her ballot in an election. Some people would have assumed going to jail would stop a proper Victorian woman but Susan knew her arrest simply brought more attention to her cause. Susan B Anthony didn't let anyone or anything stop her until her death in her late eighties. If fifty-eight years of devoted social action doesn't make you an action hero, what does?Design & DetailsThe perfect way to celebrate Susan B. Anthony's cause, this suffragette costume would have looked right at place on the streets of 19th Century New York. Designed by our creative team, this dress zips up the back yet has historical details that any young history buff will delight in such as the decorative buttons up one side of the skirt and the ruffled high neckline. A purple and green banner with "Votes for Women" is draped over the bodice and a matching button is attached to the breast. A wide brim hat finishes the whole look off, making sure that your little suffragette is ready to march, no matter the weather. Girl PowerIf your child loves the women leaders of history, celebrating Susan B. Anthony is a great place to start. A great costume for school projects, Victorian fairs, and even Halloween, your child is sure to do Susan proud as she continues to fight for the rights of women around the world!
Scientists have worked endless hours doing experimental research while historians have scoured books and archaeologists have dug for clues but they have all just about given up in their quest to create anything more classy that a gold monocle. It's just impossible for any other single item to class up anybody or any outfit at even close to that high of a caliber. The top hat and cane are the only two other pieces in the same category and still this eyepiece remains king. So be sure to grab one of your own for your next costume party. You could be a phenomenal colonel or scholar at the next murder mystery party that you attend or go for a sweet steam punk look for Halloween. No matter what you should never leave home for a high end event or dinner without this final piece to your outfit. The gold just finishes off this dapper accessory.
Mixed MotivationsIf you had lived in Europe in the wide range of years from 1095 to 1492, you probably would have known a man or two who had joined in a crusading movement. It was a popular choice for many reasons. For one, if you were a serf, you legally belonged to your lord. The pope promised that serfs that joined in the fight would be given freedom on their return. Soldiers also joined to see the world, get land, gain wealth, and have their sins wiped clean. Like all other ventures, every individual had their own reasons for joining. Now that the crusades have been over for more than 600 years, the little crusader in your life can choose their very own mission. Are they crusading to fight for freedom from an early curfew? Or perhaps they're campaigning for a trip to an indoor water park this winter. Like the actual crusades, every soldier is in it for a different reason. Whatever your child's motivations might be, the mission is sure to be more successful if they're dressed for success!Design & DetailsYour child will feel like they're ready for anything when they slip into this Made by Us crusader costume. The costume has a tunic at the base and with silver sequins that make up a chain mail look and texture. Your child is sure to be excited about the "shining armor" look. A red cross tabard is draped over the tunic and the hood is draped over the neck, looking awesome whether it's worn up around the head or down. The look is topped off with details like the draping belt and faux leather gloves. A Sharp LookKid's will be jumping with excitement when they know this costume is coming in the mail. Make sure they're ready to wear this costume as soon as it's out of the package by adding on a sword and shield and pairing it with leggings and boots. We'd say this costume will conquer this Halloween with ease!
You hear that sound off in the distance? Yup, that's a Gjallarhorn. And that doesn't just mean that soon you'll be in battle with your fellow Viking brethren. Yes, it means that. But it also means that you're going to be battling alongside the gods in the final battle of Ragnarok. Do you think you have what it takes to join them?No, of course, you don't. Because you don't have this adult Viking helmet yet! You sure can't be expected to head into battle without the right gear, and if you need gear for your head (trust us, you do!) you're going to want to add this detailed helmet to your Viking costume.Styled like something a real warrior might have worn into battle, this mask covers part of the face, for maximum protection during combat. Of course, this mask will just be used for costume fun and not real action, but that's no reason not to look authentic as possible, right?This signature mask is made and designed by us, and you're only going to find it for sale right here at HalloweenCostumes.com. So pick it up, and when it arrives, all you'll have to do is wait patiently for that horn to sound!
Cleopatra is revered for her beauty to this day. But did you know she was a master of pageantry too? Case in point, in 41 BC Cleopatra had an appointment to meet the triumvir Mark Antony. Now, we’ve all had meetings. If we really feel like putting on airs we might put on a little makeup, do something classy with our hair, even paint our nails. But Cleopatra had a golden barge with purple sails and silver oars made just for the occasion, and she rode up to the Roman beneath a gilded canopy while her servants fanned her and burned sweet incense around her. Needless to say, Antony was rather impressed. Think about that next time you need to make a great first impression.This shoulder length bob with bangs is another fine way to make a great impression. If you’re shooting for the Cleopatra look, it’s impossible to overdo it -- the pharaoh wasn’t known for her subtlety. This wig also works for Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction!

Well... actually, that's where we need your help. Hear us out.

The Glint in Your EyeSure, protective goggles are required for keeping eyes safe in laboratory settings. No one wants splashes of noxious chemicals or shards of whatever getting in their eyes. But, be honest. The real reason you’re looking at these bad boys is for the glint of light that bounces of their lenses. You’re going for an evil scientist, anime villain, ill-willed nerd vibe, and there’s only one way to nail it. Circular lenses that perfectly obscure your eyes and thus, intentions. With this Industrial Goggle accessory, your Halloween costume is going to look killer! Product DescriptionComplete your costume with the help of this simple accessory.

GET THOSE GEARS GOINGYou know when you've got a super good idea and it's just working in your head? You can pretty much feel the brain cranking and grinding to bring that genius-level spark into a whole fiery production. Can practically feel the steam pouring from your ears and your eyes lighting up with excitement, yeah? That's the inspiration of Steampunk calling to you. That perfect coupling of old style and new age innovation. It is time!DESIGN & DETAILSThis Steampunk Top Hat is the perfect thing to represent your creative flair. First, it was Made By Us, designed by our own Vintage Department of Futuristic Tech. It's more a low-top hat than a full-on crazy top hat, but at 5.5" tall, it gives you plenty of other styles you can wear it with. Really, you're here for the differently shaped brass gears riveted into the hat, though. All we need next is to get them actually mechanically active! KNOCKED INTO A COCKED HAT?We'll be honest. We had to look up that phrase. It means something has been destroyed and rendered useless. A rather funny way of saying "broken," but what else can you expect of something as classy as Steampunk. Anyway, with the high-quality of this Top Hat, you can be sure it'll stay non-cocked through the steam age!

Plenty of powerful women have made their mark on history. Zenobia conquered Europe and even had the guts to stand up to the Roman Empire. Empress Wu Zetian expanded education and increased economic prosperity in China during her tenure. Amy Schumer proved that women are way better at gross-out humor than guys! Of course, few women hold the kind of reverence as the fiercely intelligent and classically beautiful Cleopatra.From an early age, all the way to her death, she truly broke the mold of what society thought a woman should be. She used her sharp wits to wrestle control of Egypt away from her brother. She snuck herself into the presence of Julius Caesar, cleverly hiding herself within a rug being delivered to him. She commanded her naval forces with deft precision during the Battle of Actium. She did all this with elegance and style.

Look, man…we’ve all been through our share of break-ups, alright? And we’ve all done the thing where we’ve started dating someone and things were going pretty okay in the beginning, but then it got really serious really fast and we kind of wanted to get out of there, but we didn’t really know how to do it, so we kind of just let it keep going for way longer than we should have, and then by the end we were so done with that person and the relationship that we were pretty sucky in the way we dumped them.It’s happens! Luckily for us, we’ve learned from the error of our ways and now we’re pretty good about doing the “Hey, we had a great time, but this just isn’t working out for us” talk face-to-face (even though it would be SO MUCH EASIER to just do it over text or ghost out), But you, friend, kind of need to take a good, hard look in the mirror and figure out if the way you’re ending things with your former flames isn’t just a lil’ severe. What we mean is…is it really necessary to behead every lady you no longer want around? It feels pretty drastic to sentence a woman to death just because she said something she didn’t like or you decided you liked someone else better, don’t you think?And we get it - you’re the king, and you can do whatever you want, and you always look fantastic in this Plus Size King Henry VIII Costume, so it’s not like you’re wanting for female attention.

So just..think about it, okay? Like, divorce exists!
Why should you try to hide your greatness? The ancient Pharaohs from Egypt never tried to conceal just how awesome they were!

Stand tall and proudly proclaim your birthright to the throne… or at the very least have a really magnificent time dressing like an ancient king.

Or, you would take the path of benevolence and use your power to give all of your followers free donuts—when you’re the Pharaoh, you get to do whatever you want.Of course, you’re probably not lucky enough to be a real Pharaoh.

What do BioShock, War of the Worlds, Dishonored, Panic! at the Disco, and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea all have in common?

Ancient KittyOf all the animal kingdoms animals, Mother Nature bestowed the felines with some serious regality; it’s just no wonder the Egyptians deduced that cats were connected to a higher power. Cats do what they want, when they want, and they do it with confidence. It doesn’t matter where a cat is hanging out, or what time of day it is. Give a cat access to YouTube HQ and it would delete everyone’s videos before knocking the CEO’s pen off the desk. We like to imagine the cats of the Nile getting tangled up in the mummifying gauze and looking up at the dignified priests like, “what are you going to do about it?”Design & DetailsChanneling this energy, the feline goddess Bastet owned every room she entered. She was, in other words, a boss. She ensured the mothers of Egypt were taken care of with watchful eyes. She made sure the rodents of Egypt didn’t eat the spoils of the fertile crescent. In some circles, she even got the impressive, war-like title of protector of Egypt. We like to think that all cat-lovers have Bastet inside them somewhere. We know your little one does too. So if you want to let her sharpen those claws, our Bastet Goddess Costume for Girls will be perfect for her. It’s one of our exclusive Made By Us collection, so you can sleep well knowing that love and care went into every stitch of your little one’s new costume.Walk Like an Egyptian CatIt’s about time we put imbue cats with the respect they once had (and deserve)! No more embarrassing cats with YouTube videos of them getting caught in blinds or bouncing off walls after getting their fill of catnip. Bastet—erm, we mean your little one in this Bastet costume—will set it right.
The Masterpiece SpeaksWhat was Mona Lisa thinking while DiVinci was painting her expression in oils? Was she wondering if her sister would be mad that Mona borrowed her best dress to get her portrait done? Perhaps she was plotting on her come back when her sister saw the finished product and finally realized why the gown had been missing every single Tuesday for a month. Or maybe her secret mirth was directed at the painter himself. Did DiVinci have a streak of brown paint in the middle of his face from when he itched his nose? Was there a servant in the doorway making faces as she waited to serve lunch? The thing is, we'll never know what she was thinking. Unless that is, she comes back to tell us!Product DetailsSolve the mystery and let everyone know what the mysterious Mona was thinking of by dressing up as her legendary portrait. The light-weight inflatable frame will make being framed more comfortable than ever while the portrait inside the frame leaves a hole to put your face through. Renaissance WomanThis costume can be worn again and again. It's a great pick for art teachers who want to have a little fun with their class as well as folks who want to show up to their local Rennaisance Faire in style! Hey, you could even pair up with Leonardo. You're the masterpiece, you get to decide!
We can only imagine what the world would be like if steam power had turned out to be the last word in transportation and energy production. Which is good, because we really want to believe it would be just like all those steampunk novels we've read, in which a cunning heroine uses her engineering skills and mechanical-mindedness to create a clever new invention that saves the world from certain doom. Come to think of it, that's a pretty specific vision for the way things might have someday been. But at least it sounds stylish and full of adventure, even in the present day! Of course, real-life technology has been drifting away from smokestacks, paddle wheels, gears, and sprockets for some time, now. So to truly live the dream of an intrepid tinkerer, a girl is going to need a top-of-the-line time machine, and possibly an advanced degree in applied science. Or she could just do what most people do when they're nostalgic for the retro-future: put on a great-looking costume like this one!This kids costume combines a modified Victorian-era dress with some essential steampunk touches, like machined details and a pair of geartooth goggles. Layering the functional look of leather straps atop the frills of high fashion, this outfit makes for a unique look that's well-suited to any kind of brainstorm session or gizmo-seeking excursion. Once she's all suited up, we're sure she'll feel more than ready to put her skills to the test!
