Time to Grovel Greetings, puny mortal. Welcome to the temple of the goddess. You have found her in a good mood, and she will look with favor upon your trembling devotion. It will go even better for you if you have remembered to bring a small gift to show your loyalty to her beautiful self. A word of advice: Live goats and sheep are so two milleniums ago. Nowadays, the goddess encourages cold drinks and maybe some cool shoes. Just a thought. Product DetailsAccept the tributes of your adoring devotees when you wear this exclusive Dark Goddess Costume Dress for Women! The long black dress zips up the back and is made of slightly stretchy jersey knit material. Its cold-shoulder-style bodice embellished with a gold-edged V neckline and an empire waistband outlined with an appliqued metallic gold ribbon. The sleeves' side puffs are made of black chiffon. The skirt features two flirty thigh-high slits that will let you show off your favorite pair of gladiator sandals. The included headband is accented with metallic braid and fabric leaves. Patron of Beauty and Brunch This goddess dress is celestially lovely, and perfect for wearing if you don't want to tie yourself to a specific mythology. It certainly adapts itself well to both Athena's dignified wisdom, Hecate's spooky magic, and Aphrodite's sultry fashion sense (which is pretty incredible when you think about it), but you could also declare yourself to be an entirely new goddess. Someone still has to claim the role of taco deity, for instance. The title of Goddess of Having Perfectly Smooth Hair Even When It's Really Humid and Hot Out title is also up for grabs.
A real-life heroHeroes come in all shapes and sizes. There’s Superman, who can jump higher than a building and shoot lasers out of his eyes (sometimes… the power sort of comes and goes). There’s Spiderman, who can do some pretty amazing backflips and climb up walls without breaking a nail. There’s Wonder Woman, who wields the Lasso of Truth and, more impressively, never loses her invisible jet.Those heroes are all pretty great, but there’s someone who’s even more heroic. And she really lived, unlike the rest of these comic characters. We’re talking about… Harriet Tubman!Everyone knows the name of Harriet Tubman. This brave African American woman escaped slavery and made 13 missions back into the South to rescue 70 people through the Underground Railroad. But did you know that during the American Civil War, Harriet also served as a nurse, an armed scout and a spy for the Union Army? She was the first woman to lead an armed expedition in the war, and guided the raid at Combahee Ferry that liberated more than 700 enslaved people. She also was an activist for women’s suffrage in her later years. Basically, this woman is a real-life superhero!Product detailsNext time you want to dress up like a true superhero, this exclusive Women's Plus Size Harriet Tubman Costume is exactly what you need. The outfit is 100 percent polyester, with a black woven shirt and black skirt. The shirt has white buttons down the center front, along with a maroon light weight woven fabric shawl that drapes over your shoulders. There’s also a white chiffon necktie that fastens in the back with a hook-and-loop fastener. Meanwhile, the floor-length skirt has an elastic waistband for comfy wear.Harriet to the rescue!We think that no one deserves more recognition and honor than Harriet Tubman, so we’re not surprised that you want to dress up like her for your next costume party. Or maybe you have a historical play or reenactment that is in dire need of a real-life superhero. Whatever your reason, all you need is this costume to bring a true human rights hero to life!
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".
The Viking life was hard but beautiful. The Norse lived in a harsh yet bewitching land, they farmed between fjord and mountains, in a cold climate right by the sea. While the men were away, shipping off to trade or raid, the women took control of the farms. It wasn't a meager task, the amount of work to do was staggering. At night, though, the community would come together in the warmth of the fire as they wove tapestries or braided each other's hair and told the intricate legends of their people.Capture some of the romance of the Viking village when you put on this gorgeous red wig. With a long braid and soft curls, you'd look right at home standing on the docks looking out for the returning ships. Pair it with one of our Viking dresses and you'll almost be able to smell the salty sea. With those long locks, someone may just mistake you for the Goddess Freyr.
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!

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!
The Last Gear You NeedFor those who love steampunk, they know that the genre is all about the details. A mix of Victorian fashion and old school industrial technology, steampunk strives to create an alternate universe kind of experience. There is something alluring about the genre's impossibly complicated machinery, expecially when it is blended with old timey clothes. It's as if they SHOULD go together—there's no modern technology, or anything—but you know there is something not quite right. It's so fun to believe it's real, though! Keep the suspension of disbelief going with intricate costume details like this Chain Gear Necklace Antique.Product DetailsSteampunk fashion contains a lot of gears, cogs, springs, and other mechanical machinery pieces. It's not just used on useful pieces like aviator goggles that rotate lenses or canes that can also shoot flames. Even corsets, belts, and other accessories are decorated with machinery, to keep the costumes part of the made up era. This necklace has all the little cogs and gears you could want! Even the clasp is a cogwheel and pipe design. The mix of antiqued metal and shining silver adds another element of visual interest. It's the perfect steampunk necklace!

When America's men were off to fight "over there" the nation called on the women to put their hands to use. This gave women a taste of what it was like to have a major part of the workforce. It was a time of pride in the women's strength and smarts. It not only affected people's mindsets but it changed unpredictable things like the fashions. Instead of long, loose hair and complicated updo's woman started tying back their hair with a kerchief. It was only a short time after women were arrested if they wanted to wear trousers and now they were in factories wearing jumpsuits. So, when posters of Rosie the Riveter started popping up around the country it was a pretty revolutionary image, sponsored by the government, no less! It was the inspiration women needed to continue working hard in victory gardens, munitions factories, and salvage programming. The times might have been hard but everyone was coming together, putting aside class, to make sure their country stayed together in a time of violence and hardship. This costume includes a jumpsuit and a bandana. The jumpsuit has a collar with short sleeves and a zipper. The jumpsuit also has pockets, belt loops, and cuffed pants. The patch on the collar has the famous and inspiring tagline "We can do it". Pair this with a pair of sensible boots so you'll be ready for whatever the factories throw at you. Tie the included bandana around your head and you'll be an inspiration to the movement!
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.
More Souls than You can shake the Styx AtThere's a lot going on in the underworld. More souls are crossing the River Styx every day. There are plots to plan. Minions to command. And if you could just get The Fates to listen to what you have to say without interrupting what you have to say with a, "we know" than perhaps you could keep your cool. Still, Hades is the man for the job. He's got plenty of charm for a guy who hangs around the dead all day. Very little gets past him. He found out about Hercules when the chump was a simple sunspot. And if his minions had learned a little competency, perhaps he'd be the ruling leader as we speak. But no, his minions failed him, as minions often do. And while he's still simply ruling the underworld instead of sitting in a place of honor on Mount Olympus, we can't help but think that this immortal fella has still got a lot to offer! Pomegranate seeds, anyone?Product DetailsFire yourself up for Halloween when you throw on this flaming Hades costume! This Disney licensed look includes a simple tunic that fits over your head. The blue color under black drapery with skull detail is sure to make you look like you stepped right out of everyone's favorite Grecian cartoon. A fiery blue wig tops off the look, making you instantly recognizable as the scintillating, incendiary ruler of the underworld.An Immortal CastAll the characters from Hercules are so much fun, we can't help but wish we could see them together again. Grant Disney fans the wish they never knew they had when you pair up with friends to go as Meg, Hercules, and Hades for a group costume. Memories of this Halloween are sure to be immortal!
THE LEGENDE OF THE MAIDEN FAYREThere are few things more magical than the idea of whisking back to the past and living out a dream of a medieval fantasy. About the only thing that can compare is bringing your kiddo along for the ride. Just imagine the tale that you both will craft. Picture the young lass: a noble princess whose words can tame the ferocious dragon; a crafty maiden who can turn an outlaw into a hero; or perhaps the faerie queen who is ready to brandish bow and blade, herself! The joy of the Renaissance is in reinvention, so coming up with the mighty tale of your adorable actor is going to be half the fun of your happy holiday. The other half is going to be acting it all out! Your tyke will need to know all the period performance tricks.

He's a brave knight! You always knew that he would be. (He was raised right, after all!) But now that he's come of age, you can be expecting a call from the king himself any one of these days. Because when word gets to the high castle that your boy is ready to do his part for king and country, you can expect that he's going to go into the service of knighthood in very short order. There are dragons to slay, after all! Now, he might be a bit nervous about being knighted, having some stuffy old man waving a sword around his head, but trust us, he'll be fine. At the worst maybe he loses and ear or two. A small price to pay for knighthood!This costume is sure to have him feeling like a knight who can battle the evildoers in the realm, or at the very least, slay a dragon or two! A detailed ensemble look means that he'll have the perfect style for riding his trusty steed at the jousting court, or the dashing style to strut up the dangerous mountain path to the dragon's lair. There's always the chance that dragon is in the mood to barbecue some knights though, so we always recommend he ride in the middle of the pack. Or, if he's feeling especially confident, ride at the front, next to the king! Kings usually survive that stuff, right? Well, time is a wasting! Duty calls! Don that armor and ride into battle, knight!
Best Curse EverThe fact that Medusa was cursed (very unfairly, in our opinion) meant that she had to leave everyone she knew behind and make a new home for herself in solitude. She found an uninhabited Mediterranean island where she made friends with a bunch of snakes and set up a small castle.Then she kicked back and enjoyed that fresh Mediterranean breeze. With some nice, fresh fish and the ability to spend her time as she wished, she was in pretty good spirits until that Perseus came along. We almost wish someone would curse us and force us to live on a private island in one of the most beautiful places on Earth!Product DetailsMaking sure you are dressed right for any occasion is very important, which is why we recommend setting yourself up right with this Women's Medusa Queen of the Gorgons Costume. The included dress is both flattering and stylish, taking all the best parts of Ancient Greek style and melding them with modern fabrics and cuts.The plunging neckline and elastic waistbands mean that you will look great and feel comfortable in this awesome costume.

You will feel like a winner in this cool and comfortable costume. Just make sure you try not to look anyone in the eyes until you make sure you want them to be stone!
Good old Romulus, founder of Rome, very well could have been the first person to popularize the toga. Back then it was common for both men and women to wear them, and they were quite simple and served basic utility purposes. But as the years passed, the toga became a symbol of male citizenship for the Romans, and became a much more formal type of clothing. They also got much more expensive and complicated from its humble beginnings.These days it's hard to think about the toga apart from college frat boys and parties. But, believe it or not, these draped clothes were quite formal and demonstrated success and distinction for many Romans. If your child needs to get a toga of his own, perhaps for a historical demonstration or a play at school, or if he's just looking for something fun to dress up as for Halloween, check out our Boys Toga.This toga is 100% polyester, with the sash sewn to the shoulder with a gold ring accent. The belt is a gold rope, and the toga is easy to put on with a comfortable fit and easy to put on and off style. Don't forget to add accessories to complete this costume, like a pair of sandals (the ones in the picture aren't included with the costume) or an ancient scroll for your child to read from!
Who Wants to Be King?!Having your father return from his year-long, self-imposed exile is a pretty big deal. There is no easy way to welcome the king back after a long absence following a terrible defeat. Maybe the best thing to do is simply challenge him to single combat right then and there?Well, that is a fight that no one in their right mind would willingly take on.

Founders KeepersWith the Hamilton musical, the founding fathers are really getting a comeback! Now, we're not saying that they are going to show up on the cover of Rolling Stone any time. But in this day and age, it's fascinating to look at what these guys did with very few resources, freedom, and technology. Each founding father played their role. Washington was the military genius that buoyed America's revolution forward. Hamilton was the hardworking idealist. And good ol' Benny. Well, he was the mad scientist turned socialite turned diplomat. When he wasn't hobnobbing with the French to get them to fund our independence seeking war he was inventing ways of preventing disastrous lightning fires or trying to get the idea of bifocals off the ground. And when he wasn't working he was taking one of his infamous "air baths". We won't go into it, the visuals are with us but they don't have to be with you. So when it comes to dressing as a founding father, we all know the Benjamin Franklin is the most entertaining character there is out there even with his receding hairline. pProduct DetailsWhether this costume is for a historical reenactment, a play, or just for fun, you're sure to get in character as soon as you slip it on. The jacket is layered over a full vest and is accented with a cravat tie. The long coat will make you feel official as you make your entrance into both European and American courts.

Do you yearn for a time when you could exert your will over your legions of adoring followers, by just the mere wave of your hand?

Ancient HeroesWhen we think of heroes, a number of names come rushing to the mind, but only a few of them have been spoken of in as many incarnations as the mighty half-god of Greek mythology, Hercules!

Strength, a winning smile, notorious combat proficiencies, and… did we mention half-god? Hard to compete with that one!Sure, several of the ancient tales of Hercules don’t have the best of beginnings… or endings, honestly, but you have to give credit to a guy who can keep his chin up despite having a rather grumpy step-mother and uncle full of underworld angst. Between tackling ferocious monsters birthed from Echidna and winning the heart of a few Grecian lasses, Hercules has countless tales to be told.Product DetailsThis year, the stories can continue when you don your kiddo in this Child Hercules Costume. A comfortable white pullover tunic starts the look and you can armor your child up, next, with the foam body armor and attached cape.

Warrior-like armbands and leg guards close with Hook and Loop fastener and ensure that your child will be protected from all manner of monsters, but it might be a good idea to pick up a nice sword and lion-emblazoned shield just to make the beasties think twice about trying your demigod! The only question that remains is to figure out which of the kiddo’s parents is the god!

A D'Artagnan type, swinging on a chandelier while brandishing a sword, or fighting scheming villains who would try to commit evil schemes, all while saving the king from imminent doom!

Maybe you're thinking of dressing up like a king or a queen, envisioning heaping piles of coinage and blackbird pies. But that's not what being a ruler is really like! When you're the wealthiest and most powerful person in the realm, you're everybody's first call when something breaks and they need help fixing it.

Or all of the above!And maybe he's not covered in gold and jewels like the chump wearing the crown, but we figured that this guy would still have some pretty stylish clothes. So we made his tunic and bonnet out of velvet. Then we lined his cape with satin, and fastened it with a flashy golden chain. We even threw in some great-looking boot covers and stuck a feather in his cap for good measure. It's a complete look, ready for a costume party or Renaissance Faire!

The KingSo we all know of King Henry VIII, yes? The ruler of England during the 1500s who had six wives? Of course, we do.He was a man who loved food and drink. He was fond of the hunt, and (supposedly) pretty good-looking. Sure, he was educated and yes, he had a way with the ladies (we need not even mention his sumptuous colorful clothes), but let's not forget the most important part, shall we? He was King of England. We're talking power here. Power to execute people who got in his way, re-work England's constitution, and of course, start up a new church with himself as the head when he didn't agree with the old church. Henry sure knew how to get his way.Design & DetailsSo if you want to dress up as a powerful ruler, our King Henry VIII Costume is definitely the way to go. The doublet is made of tapestry fabric with gold braided trim on the body and sleeves. There's a bronze medallion on a 30" chain to hang around your noble neck. Just add some fancy boots and maybe a crown (also that white shirt which is sold separately) and you'll be one posh ruler. Just remember you aren't actually King Henry VIII. So don't try bossing people around like you're the king of England, because that probably won't go so well.

You've already bought her the best covered wagon money could buy: a 19th-century Prairie schooner, the vehicle of choice for folks traveling west.

You've loaded her up with a good 150 pounds of flour, 30 pounds of biscuits, 100 pounds of bacon, and, of course, 50 pounds of lard.Then there's her plow and her shovel, her Dutch oven (which is very important, since she's not old enough to use a real oven by herself yet), her rake, her hoe, her saw, her mallet, and all the tools she'll need to repair her wagon wheels or axle.

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.

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.

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!

The Maids of BraidsThe Medieval era embraced lush textures and hairstyles. Both men and women of high standing wore layer after layer of wool, silk, and velvet that were all trimmed with furs.

They'd either wear dropped waist dresses that wear fitted with a tight corset or they would bustle their bodices with a gorgeously designed empire belt. Basically, all sorts of colors, shapes, and textures were good to go. One thing that didn't fly? Loose locks. To be a fashionable lady in the Medieval era you were required to be tuck your hair under a hat topped whimple or intricately braid your locks if you didn't want to cover your head.
