Interesting InsectsWhen we think about steampunk-themed items, we usually think of mechanics. After all, the idea is to consider what our world would look like if we still ran things on steam instead of other forms of energy. We don’t always wonder what mechanical animals would look like. Here’s one imagining of an awesome insect! We’ve always been a little disappointed that dragonflies don’t actually look like miniature dragons. However, they’re still really cool! They have 4 wings instead of the typical 2, which is pretty neat, and they come in so many different colors. In the steampunk world, they’re made of metal so they’re a little less vibrant, but their wings are still beautiful!Product DetailsAdd the perfect gear-themed accessory to your steampunk outfit with this antique dragonfly gear pin! It has gears to emulate that antique style while keeping the shape of the fascinating bug, and attaches with a safety pin to minimize stabbing. Use it to complete your costume or send it to a friend as a fantastic steampunk gift!Don’t Bug Me!If you’re obsessed with the imaginary era of gears and steam, this antique dragonfly gear steampunk pin is for you. Its beautiful insect design merges the natural with the artificial, and is a great accessory for your next costume!

Don't Go Empty-HandedEvery warrior needs a weapon! You can't charge into an epic battle without a trusty sword in your hand. Well, you can... but we wouldn't advise it and neither would Ragnar Lothbrok! The fierce Viking leader has seen his share of battles and he always has his sword in hand if he can help it! If you're planning to cosplay as the iconic character, then you'll need a toy weapon just like his!Design & DetailsThis Vikings Ragnar Lothbrok Toy Sword is inspired by the one wielded by Ragnar in the Vikings series. The toy weapon is made out of molded plastic and comes with a silver blade. The middle of the blade has runes inscribed into it. The handle has red accents and a rounded pommel on the end. Since it is a toy, we don't recommend charging into battle with it, but it will complete your Ragnar costume as you invade the next costume party!
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.
Your Meow-jestyIt's no wonder that the Egyptians assumed that cats were connected to a higher power. Cats do what they do and they do it with confidence. It doesn't matter where those cats are hanging out. Give a cat access to the White House executive desk and you'll catch them knocking the presidential 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".The cat-like goddess Bastet is one that we all could get in touch with. She's a boss. She made sure that the mothers of Egypt were taken care of. She made sure that the rodents of Egypt didn’t eat all the profits of the fertile crescent. Some mythologies even gave her the war-like title of protector of Egypt. We like to think that all cat-lovers have a part of Bastet deep down inside. This Halloween, sharpen those claws and perk up your feline nature!Product Details & DesignThis gorgeous lightweight black and gold costume is Made-By-Us. Our designers researched both Egyptian looks as well as the goddess's look to create this fashionable and fun look. The top is a blend of metallic gold and lightweight sparkly gauze. The skirt has a center panel with hieroglyphics over the twisting lightweight skirt. With the cold shoulder black body suit underneath, this look is a sleek showstopper that would look right at home at the pyramids. The whole ensemble is topped off with a knit mesh cap with gold stripes on the ears. Crowns Not CollarsIt's about time that cats got back some of that Egyptian respect back! No more Youtube videos of cats getting caught in blinds and missing their jumps. Bastet will set it right. Suit up in this gorgeous ensemble and it won't be long until cats are running the kingdom again.
The Ultimate AnswerWe all get asked the question from time to time. 'What's your favorite animal?' We all naturally have a quality answer to that query (even if it might change a few times over the years). The dog is well known as humanity's best friend. Then you've got the cat who has clearly won the Internet. From aardvarks to zebras, there are so many adorable, strange, and wonderful critters in the sea, on the land, or in the air.But allow us to suggest that we expand the definition of 'animal' a bit and offer you an even better option. Legends speak of all sorts of amazing creatures but few are more inspiring than the Pegasus. Start with the noble beauty of the horse, taking note of its indomitable strength and a truly epic mane of hair. Now add the grace and aerodynamic ability of a bird, too!? (When you add in the fact that they can swim, too, you've got an all-terrain triple threat!)Design & DetailsIf the magical majesty of the winged horse is what you seek, you're going to love this Adult Heavenly Pegasus costume! This hooded jumpsuit was designed by our Made By Us team to help you live out your Greek Mythology costume dreams. Start by shaping the wings to your liking and get ready to soar thanks to the hook and loop patch. Next, step into the metallic knit cuffs, creating a shiny hoof-like illusion.Zip up the front for an easy fit and pull up the foam-backed hood to show off a faux fur mane and perky ears. The pearly velour fabric will have you feeling supernaturally shiny so all that is left is to practice your Pegasus prance! (Team up with a friend in a Hercules costume to really go the distance.)
Waiting for StyleIt's easy to tire oneself of modern technology -- and style. We totally get it. Sometimes even state-of-the-art gadgets and gizmos look like cheap flashy junk. If you're the type of gal that prefers brass, gears, and leather over plastic, LCDs, and wi-fi, then this Burgundy Steampunk Hat is just the accessory you need to reinvigorate your wardrobe before your next retro adventure!What exactly makes something “steampunk?" A lot of times, it's something that you just know when you see it, but there's definitely more to making something steampunk than slapping some valves on it and putting it on board a zeppelin. It's a unique style that fuses Victorian Era fashion and sensibility with the loud, gritty, and dangerous look of the Industrial Revolution, which makes everything appear more exciting! For instance, would you want to drive your boring old car to work everyday if you could pilot a “pneumatic powered quad-wheeled auto-buggy” instead? Even though those are basically the same things, the second one sounds much cooler!Design & DetailsSame goes for this Burgundy Steampunk Hat, whose lacing, feathers, tulle wrap, and beaded details makes it nothing if not cool. The goggles have an elastic band to secure them to the hat, and the one size fits most noggins! Careful up there in the sky, adventurer -- we hear that while the tech has advanced in Steampunkland, the safety measures haven't.
Whofore Art ThouHave you ever wondered who you would be in a Shakespeare play? It's not the type of subject that you can usually take a personality test about. If you're a lovestruck youngin' with a bit of a temper, the obvious choice is Romeo. But Shakespeare wrote about all sorts of other characters. Or perhaps you're the melancholy type, always thinking about the latest conspiracy. In that case, you're Hamlet for sure! Whether you're an ambitious Macbeth or an egotistical King Lear, you're going to need a great hat to help you pull off any iambic pentameter that Shakspeare penned!Product DetailPeople in the Shakspearean era had a whole lot of style! They knew all about playing with silhouettes and rich textures. That's why this Romeo hat is instantly recognized as belonging to his time. This cap has a slight brim, a poufed top, and a brilliant blue feather for a theatrical splash. While this accessory is a great pick for your private costume wardrobe, it also would be a good choice for theater wardrobes as the interior of the cap has a size adjuster. Whether your Romeo has a large head or is rather petite, this Shakspearean cap is a great way to complete your theatrical ensemble!
Steampunk Beginnings Ever wanted to get into steampunk, but had no idea how to get started? We get it! After all, some of those steampunk cosplay costumes are pretty intense! They have a complete array of vintage pieces that they've selected to be a part of their outfit. They have hand-crafted pieces. It's sort of intimidating to just plunge into something like that!Well, we're here to let you know that it all has to start somewhere. Even that person that's fully decked out in steampunk gear had to start with something small! Perhaps you just need a single piece to inspire you! That's where this pair of Steampunk Wrists Guards for women come into play. They're a simple piece that has a look that's one-part superhero and one-part Victorian fantasy. We think it's the perfect start to any steampunk outfit!Product DetailsThese wrist guards provide you with a great way to accessorize any steampunk outfit. The features a faux leather bottom with a gold metallic top. Various rivet designs add a mechanical look to them, so all you have to strap them around your wrists. Find a few of our matching steampunk accessories and you can craft your own steampunk superhero sort of look!
The Sky's the LimitThe stars seemed near enough to touch and never before have I seen so many. I always believed the lure of flying is the lure of beauty, but I was sure of it that night. —Amelia Earhart If you have long been captivated by the skies, then you are not alone! Amelia Earhart knew within the first few hundred feet of her very first flight that she was born to soar. So, whether you're awaiting your pilot's license, or you simply want to pay homage to a fearless female leader this Halloween, this Women's Amelia Earhart Costume will give you wings. Everyone loves the story of Amelia Earhart's bravery and brilliance—she even sipped hot cocoa while completing the first solo flight across the Pacific!—and you will be revered wherever you go in this look. You may even earn a ticker tape parade! So embrace your love of high altitudes, navigation, and the thrill of flight and rock your costume look all at the same time.Product Details This costume transforms you from modern day aviation enthusiast to a 1930s aviation queen! It features a brown bomber jacket (you can't fly without one!) and tan pants cut to the style of the era, as well as the necessary accessories you need to get you ready for take off. You'll be flying high and in love with the freedom of the sky in this look.Exceed Expectations!While Earhart famously said that, “Anticipation...sometimes exceeds realization,” this costume is about to blow that theory right out of the water. This look will exceed your wildest expectations (just like Earhart). Once it arrives at your door, slip it on and start planning your next great adventure. Be bold. Be brave. Be the first to do something awesome. Amelia would want it that way!
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.
Got Any More of that Pigeon Pie?Ahh, life in the middle ages, that was when it was at. It was an era when all you needed to mend your roof was a bunch of dry twigs and sticks like the ones pictured here. People were eating crazy foods like roasted hedgehogs and pies with live animals in them (this was an amusement rather than an actual course of the meal). There were no songs singing, "Baby, baby, baby" all over again. Instead, lyrics were all about the "Hey, Nonni Nonni" instead. Who's Nonni? No idea. But what a fun word to sing! Yeah, the Renaissance Era had it's up and downs. People weren't really into bathing and there was a little bug going around called "the plague". But in the end, we all know deep down inside that those people from the Medieval Era just have more fun. Product DetailsYour child will be ready to celebrate Midsommers Eve in Medieval style with this classy Renaissance Boy costume. He'll look right at home playing page boy to a night with the billowy sleeves of the blouse that's layered under a jerkin. (That's a fancy historical word for vest) The look comes together with elastic-waisted pants and a wide faux leather belt that cinches the waist in. Have a Peasant Day!While the nobility might live in castles and rock all the velvet clothing, we like to think that the lower classes have more fun. They definitely have better dances! No matter what rank your kid is aiming for, they'll tread the line with this simple look. Dress it up with a fancy hat, dress it down with a little dirt on the cheeks. Whether you're heading to the Ren Fair with the whole family or your child simply wants to go the historical route for Halloween, he'll be ready to let out a healthy, "Hey, Nonni Nonni" once he throws on this cool look!
Some people put on a polo shirt and a name tag when they go to work. Other guys like Maximus Decimus Meridius, well, they put on a frightening armor and grab a sword. Yes, his line of work involves fighting against hordes of enemies in the ring and a polo shirt with a laminated name tag just doesn't strike fear into blood-crazed foes. A mask that looks like iron death does though!Introducing this fully licensed General Maximus Helmet from the Ridley Scott film, Gladiator! The molded latex mask full recreates the one worn by Russell Crowe, complete with intimidating spikes on the top and pronounced facial features. It might not turn you into a master of arms, or a combat specialist, but it does make you look tough enough to take on a lion with your bare hands. You can pair it with any of our Gladiator costumes to get the best of your opponent inside the Colosseum.
Ras to Ruins"Oh great Pharaoh, thy cartouche shall live through the ages and immortalize thy name among the peoples of Egypt for all time. O thou great Pharaoh, God-King, Ra as man, whose influence brings the Nile's nourishing floods anew each year, whose will is law, by whose word we live and die, amidst whose glory we are blessed to spend each day, and to whom we give all supplication and due honor. If it is found by thy will suitable, if perchance thine immaculate spirit should acquiesce, if indeed it were possible and if thou has the time, wouldst thou come to mine Halloween party? That would be dope."While that’s not the weirdest invite we’ve ever seen, we are still surprised that your host decided your costume for you. Still, you’ve come to the right place! Here you go, Pharaoh, your costume awaits!Product DetailsThis Adult Egyptian Tunic Costume is fitting for the main god of Egypt. The stylish foam headband with its molded vinyl cobra can be worn with or without the accompanying striped veil, as the Pharaoh desires. The belt has fabric ties and the most opulent faux leather and brocade ribbon draping on the front. The large rectangular crushed velvet can be draped in many ways across the broad shoulders of the Lord of the Nile, or the less-broad shoulders of the Lady of the Nile. The Pullover tunic has cap sleeves to give Pharaoh that extra oomph that he needs to have confidence in the morning.Oddly Shaped TombsGiant squares? Nahh. How about intricately carved likenesses of each individual? Boring. You’ve been through all the shapes, and the time to decide is now, while you're 30. That’ll give your builders enough time to put the finishing touches on your tomb before you die in 30 more years. But what shape is best? As you stab yourself in roof of your mouth with a tortilla chip, it comes to you in a flash! A giant triangle! Perfection.
Make way for the bad guy.Sometimes it’s fun to be the bad guy. Try it sometime. For example, when a waiter asks you if you want dessert, say that you don’t, even if you actually do. When you’re going through a door and you see someone walking toward it, hold it open for them no matter how far away they are. Sometimes they actually walk faster! And when someone asks you how you’re doing, say you’re doing fine -- even if you’re actually not! With devious feats like these under your belt you’ll be well on your way to full-time bad guy status in no time!People have enjoyed being bad guys for as long as there have been people. The first recorded act of badness took place in 78,000 BC when a very naughty cavemen painted a bunch of wooly mammoths on his neighbor’s cave wall. His neighbor never managed to get it all off. And did you know that the Great Wall of China was actually built as a prank? It’s true, the Chinese wanted to mess with the Mongolians so they built it while they were sleeping. When the Mongolians woke up they were furious because their favorite villages to pillage were all on the other side of the wall. And the Chinese just laughed! What a bunch of bad dudes!Medieval times were no exception. For every white knight there were at least a couple of black knights, walking in people’s flower beds and unscrewing the salt shaker caps at diners. It was a rough time for everyone. You too can be a black knight and terrorize the countryside, doing things like forgetting your mom’s birthday and not rewinding your rental cassette tapes after watching them. No one will doubt your authenticity with this detailed costume, which rather ironically was made by very good people with an eye for fine detail.
What we do in life... echoes in eternity.So says General Maximus at the beginning of the classic Ridley Scott film, Gladiator. While that is some expertly written and memorable dialogue, we hope it's also a true statement. But we have no idea! What do we look like, metaphysicists?? We don't know what happens in eternity! But if our life echoes within it, we're glad you're taking a look at this officially licensed General Maximus costume, because it's epic enough to wear forever.The only thing we'd advise against is getting into any actual Roman battles wearing this thing. It's made of latex and not metal as it appears. That being said, you could probably frighten some barbarians with it, but we don't really recommend that either. That would require a costly trip to Germany, and also a time machine to around 180AD. That's also where you'd have to go to get the real version of this armor. Since that technology doesn't exist, we think our version is an amazing first realistic choice!Since this costume has incredible details and quality (How about that realistic armor and fur trimmed cape? It's straight out of the movie!) we think you should go to a party, wait for the exact right moment, then step up into the spotlight and give an incredible, awe-inspiring speech to all your fellow party-goers. That's what Maximus would do! You'll be remembered in poetry and song as the greatest general Rome had ever seen... to give a rousing speech while holding a red Solo cup."Brothers! What we drink tonight... will echo in our bodies tomorrow, and possibly eternity!"*drink responsibly
Renaissance BallerHad the term “baller” existed during King Henry VIII's reign, it definitely would have been applied to him. We're talking about a guy who decided that he didn't like the church's rules, so he made his own church. We're talking about a guy who walked around wearing jewels on his fingers, around his neck and let's not forget that he had owned more property than a real estate tycoon in New York City. He spent his mornings hunting instead of working and he spent his nights gambling and playing cards. He could shred the lute like a boss and he even wrote a best-selling book of his time. Of course...a few of his wives ended up being executed, so not everything he did was totally awesome, but maybe with a little help from you, and this King Henry costume, you can rewrite history!Design & DetailsBeing a baller from the 16th century starts with kingly regalia and this costume delivers. It's with a tunic and jacket combination that's designed to make you look like English royalty, since the tunic has a floral pattern and the jacket has pronounced shoulders, gold trim, and faux fur. The stockings give the appropriate look of the time, since those were totally cool back then. The hat mimics the one worn by the king, since he wasn't a fan of wearing a crown when it cramped his style. Of course, no 16th-century baller costume is complete without a neck chain, which this costume also includes. Yes, you'll be rolling in style like a king when you wear this outfit. You may even catch the eye of a young Anne Boleyn when you head to the party wearing this stylish costume.

You want to impress dressed as a queen with character to celebrate, but nothing too glitz and glam. Luckily, we’re here to help you command the room. And we know a name and character that’s sturdy and always ready to get to work raising more than the spirits of their fellow queens.Product DetailsYou’ll be seeing the world as rose-colored as ever when you put on this exclusive WWII Icon Costume!

THE ALL-FATHER'S SHIELDWhen you're destined to become the new king of the clans but have quite a few betrayers to deal with before getting there, things aren't always going to go especially smoothly. There might be quite a bit of conflict and more than one axe coming your way.Fortunately, if you're Ragnar Lothbrok, Odin seems to have a pretty vested interest in your success and will always send protection down to keep you save until the very end. Of course, that doesn't mean you shouldn't show up prepared. DESIGN & DETAILSThis officially licensed Ragnar Lothbrok Red Shield from Vikings is a faithfully recreated replica, Made by Us to ensure that your exploits as a warrior go well! This is a large, plastic, round shield that is painted red and black to look as authentic as the shields wielded in the show. It's the perfect way to accessorize any warrior's look, especially for any Viking raids you may have planned. PASS IT ON TO BJORNWith a shield of this high quality, you know that it will keep you safe until it is time to pass the mantle of rulership down to your heir. Wield it well and take down all your enemies and the thing will still be around for Bjorn to follow in your shoes after it is time to open the gates to Valhalla!
The Maddest InventionDeep underground, a scientist works feverishly towards her goal. If she doesn't have this ready by morning, the local authorities will be able to shut down her lab. She mixes frantically, muttering instructions and cackling to herself. The final beaker tips into the pot, and there is a searing flash of light. The chemical is ready! The woman holds up the finished vial, its glowing contents reflected in her safety goggles. Her maniacal laugh echoes off the stone walls. Those officers don't stand a chance! Tell your own story with the help of these Silver/Mirror Atomic Ray Goggles.Product DetailsYou don't have to go mad scientist with these, if you don't want to! These silver goggles will work with many costumes. The dark lenses remind us of a Lady Gaga music video, or a techy space cowboy. The goggles also have an adjustable, stretchy band, so you can fit these over different hoods and hairstyles. Please note that these goggles are not actually safe for any mad scientist plots, so if you're headed to a real lab, maybe take some certified eye wear with you! For a costume, though, these will add the perfect final touch.
BITESIZE ANCIENT HISTORYWe can hear you, already. "Not another history lesson!?" Well, just wait! Don't run off. This is going to be a quick and easy one that we're sure you're going to love! (And, you can't run, anyway. We've latched the doors and set up all sorts of ingenious traps to keep you around.) See, the thing about history is that there's just so much of it. It gets too huge to handle. That's why we're going to break up the history of all time into little, easy-to-handle chunks!There's something about little versions of things that are somehow super cute, too. Take the real-life "boy king" of Egypt. Tutankhamun was only nine when he took over an entire dynasty and even managed to keep the title until he grew up! It was pretty commonplace that folks would worship the Pharaohs after they were gone, but ancient Egyptians were loving King Tut while he was alive. Obviously, that's because they couldn't contain the adorable "awwws!" DESIGN & DETAILSBring the legend to life and make history once again when you transform your tot into Tut with this exclusive Egyptian Pharaoh Costume. Our team of designers moonlighted as archeologists for months to put together this high-quality look of dark black and gleaming gold. The short-sleeve tunic falls beyond the knee and matches the inner lining of the gold and black-striped headpiece. Shiny black fabric makes up the collar, cuffs, and the belt, though it is the hieroglyphics printed on the belt that really sell the look! THE YOUNGEST PHARAOH YET!King Tut made ancient fame for having the nicest pyramid to date and being the youngest kiddo to rule. But, time for the crown to pass to an even younger generation with your toddler! This Pharaoh Costume is bound to get way more attention than some old 18th Dynasty fuddy-duddy!

Sometimes you want to go... well, you know exactly where you'd like to go when times get that rough. But, you don't just want to be a lonely sod, sitting at the end of the tavern bar and drinking away the miseries of medieval living. You want to be the one giving folks the chance for a better night!Of course, owning a tavern in the early days has a number of its own conflicts. You have to dodge the fury of jealous nobles. There is always the threat of the occasional dragon... and everyone knows that fire and alcohol aren't the best of buddies even in controlled scenarios. You have to have a solid sense of adventure to face the threats that might come at you and you need a profound amount of charisma to keep your patrons coming every night!DESIGN & DETAILSMake sure that everyone knows exactly who you are by being the most popular person in the village! Our own faire-loving designers have spent more than one night in the tavern and used that experience to create this exclusive Renaissance Tavern Costume. You'll be loving the Renaissance Faire every year in this high-quality look which includes an old-style high collar shirt with leather cord ties at the neck and wrist and the deep plum vest with buckles down the center.

Imagine you are hard at work running your busy Renaissance-era tavern, pouring ale and slinging stew for weary travelers and local regulars. Do you picture yourself wearing an elegant gown, with pretty slippers and streamers in your hair? Or, would you rather be decked out in this Tavern Maiden Costume, and show everyone how to really have a good time?If you're like us, most of our knowledge of Renaissance times comes from faires and movies based on Shakespeare plays. These probably aren't the most historically accurate sources, but they sure paint a fun scene, and one of the staples of this scene is the humble tavern. Taverns seem to be where all the good stuff happened back then. It's where you went for food, drink, warmth, news, and to look for work. And in many taverns, there was a tough talking gal running the show. She kept things from getting too rowdy, and also made sure everyone had a drink in their hand and a room for the night. Well, if they had coin to spare, that is.This Renaissance-inspired costume is a fun way to step into the part of a tavern keeper, or many other roles from "ye olde times." The earthy and warm colored dress and corset would look right at home in an old village full of hardworking people who know how to let their hair down. Just slip on a pair of sturdy, sassy boots, and you'll be all ready to handle tonight's crowd at your imaginary tavern from earlier, or to let your imagination run wild at the Renaissance Festival!
My country tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.During the American Revolution women were called upon to help their country. They were asked to design the new American flag. They were responsible for how the world would see our budding nation. How we would be perceived by other countries.These women were the backbone of early American life. They washed their clothes on washboard racks, and dried them on clothes lines. They did back breaking house work, as their men folk were off fighting against the British, for freedom from the king. Freedom from unfair taxation without representation.This year on Independence Day remember the women who helped make this great nation what it is today. Remember their hardships, and the backbreaking work they put in to give us our freedom from the British Empire. Wear this Women's Colonial Lady Costume to your 4th of July parade. And make sure you wave this thirteen-stared early American flag high as the veterans who fought for our freedom walk by. They will appreciate seeing a strong woman in a lovely colonial era dress who supports them. And although the flag has changed since Betsy Ross' original design, it still has the same power to all who see it.
Warrior PoseAre you ready to get in touch with your inner shieldmaiden? Us modern folks might have to do a little toughening up before we step into her fur-lined boots. Growing up as a Viking she probably has swum in the icy water of the fjords from the time she was a little girl. We've seen her take blows in battle. We've seen her plot to come back to the top after her position is threatened by both men and women in her life. She doesn't give up. As one of the toughest Vikings around, she always ends up on top!Details & DesignOur designers were pumped to put together this licensed Lagertha costume from the hit series, Vikings. You'll feel ready for anything in this layered costume. An embroidered base shirt is layered under a faux chainmail and leather textured tunic. Detailed make the leather vest look intricate while the chainmail texture is repeated in the short sleeves and skirt. The texture is repeated in the lace-up silver gauntlets as well. The look is polished off with brown pants and boot tops so you'll be ready to take on whatever comes your way. Want to add your own finish? Copy her braided hairstyles and heavily lined eyes while arming yourself with our licensed Viking props. Always PreparedTo become shield wall ready, we suggest you start your training now. Turn your shower nob to cold for a shocking wake up in the morning. Eat gruel and dried fish for every meal. Instead of hitting the gym try running through the forest pretending while listening to dramatic action music and throwing an ax at a target in your backyard. And when your friend is complaining about that jerk at work shout, "shield wall!" and confront the problem. Or you could just get in touch with your inner Viking with this rugged Lageartha costume. Just make sure you keep your shield on hand. Lagertha is always ready for a fight!

You've got Spear ItIf you've ever fancied yourself as a fierce warrior, then chances are, you've been on the hunt for a good weapon. Daggers are nice, but they lack range (and reach is very important when facing foes at close range)! Axes are nice, but they're a little to cleave-y for some. Those can also be a little hard to wield for anyone whose skills with weapons aren't as strong as their fierce attitude. No, what you need is a weapon that's as ancient as humanity itself. You need a weapon with the reach to tackle anything that comes at you with their bare hands. You need a pointy stick! You need...the spear!Design & DetailsThis ancient looking spear brings is a toy weapon that harnesses the power of a spear with the look that's inspired by the weapons used by various warriors in time. The prop weapon is made of plastic, but the tip looks like it's made of bone, while the shaft looks like it's made out of wood.Safety FirstRunning around with a toy spear is a lot of fun, but you're no caveman warrior out on the prowl for Mastodons... make sure you play safe with this toy spear and not throw it at the unsuspecting.
Discover something amazing!Do you enjoy exploring? Do you have a keen fashion sense? Do you have a reputation among your friends for always getting lost? Maybe you head out to buy milk from the grocery store but find yourself in a car dealership, so you decide to unfurl a flag and claim it as new territory for the motherland.

Beyond the BookYou're absolutely sure that your gal understands the importance of paying attention in history class. She wouldn't want to miss out on all kinds of really cool information, like how powerful a lady Harriet Tubman was! It’s a good thing she's to be ahead of the curve on this one; she is actually an all-out history buff! She spends every family dinner quizzing her siblings on significant historical facts.

Tipping the scalesCats were seen as gods in Egypt. Most of us already know that little piece of info. But here's the thing. Most of us have had cats living with us. They're nice. They're adorable. But they can also cause a lot of havoc. Can you imagine what it would be like to have cats roaming around that can't be disciplined? They'd wander into the mummifying room and meow at the priests for attention. If those priests were to busy to give them a cuddle, that cat would sidle up to one of the four canopic jars, make eye contact, and slowly push it off the table, brains and all. And we can't even imagine what a mess a cat would make with the mummy wrappings. Lucky for Bastet, cats couldn't be touched. In fact, last year architects found a tomb filled with mummified cats and a fancy cat statue honoring the cat goddess.Product DetailsThis sleek costume has a flattering fit. The jumpsuit is trimmed with gold and has a golden collar. The fitted pants have a belt and a floor-length panel giving you an authoritative Egyptian air. Your cat-like features are finished off with a gold and black tail and a crown with distinctly feline ears. With a gorgeous, fitted look and golden details, you'll feel as graceful as a cat and as regal as a goddess. What else could you ask for?Egypt or BustDressing up in Egyptian garb is always a lot of fun. Why? Well, you can always take your look to the next level. Using gold, turquoise, and black makeup you can apply a classic Cleopatra eye. Dust gold sparkles over your skin and get hold of an Egyptian staff to take it a step further. And when your look is complete, don't forget to pose for your household kitty. You're sure to get a round of a-paws!
We're Not JokingFloki jokes about a lot of things. He jokes about the gods. He jokes about authority and love and war. He jokes about everything that's sacred to the Vikings. One thing that Floki doesn't joke about? He doesn't mess around when it comes to boats.When it came time to do the impossible and cross the wide sea to find a land that Ragnar and Floki weren't even sure existed, Floki was there to put his mind to the task. He not only finds the best lumber for the ships, he sees inside the trees before he even makes a cut. Sure, he's a complicated guy but when it comes to seacraft, the gods' love his boats! And to him, that's nothing to joke about. Design & DetailsOur creative team is pleased to present this licensed Vikings Floki costume. You'll look ready for battle and designing new seafaring technology in this rough and tumble look. This Made by Us look features a faux leather tunic with oversized stitching on the front and a faux leather belt around the waist.

Just to be sure to add Floki's dramatic eye makeup to make your character instantly recognizable. Now, whether you use charcoal or eyeliner is up to you!Uncharted TerritoryFinding solutions to unsolvable problems is what Floki loves best.

Either way, we're pretty confident you'll find adventure. Just make sure you've got a prop ax at your side. Whether you're building a ship or leading an army in battle, Floki is never unprepared!
We all know the story. Rob from the rich and give to the poor. While it's a noble pursuit, we'd like to see the Robin Hood story evolve a little bit for modern times. First step? Robin Hood needs to be a woman. We think the cunning skills of the famed hero translate just as well to a strong female role as portrayal by a man ever did. After that, we're not really sure where to take the story. To colonial America? The Australian outback? Outer space?? Whether you're interested in piloting the Merry Men to planet Nottingham, or prefer to keep the story in medieval England, you'll love your adventure in this Darling Robin Hood costume. Because history (or the future) mixed with a little sex appeal sometimes is just the right recipe.

There can't be too many things in life that are better than being a pilot! You get paid to fly, you travel for free, and you get to skip all the waiting around in an airport!

No one will second guess your flying skills when they see this winged steampunk pin on the lapel of your 19th century pilot outfit. Check out the rest of our Steampunk accessories and really make everyone wonder if they've been transported to an alternate reality this Halloween.
AN AMERICAN SUPERHEROFolks periodically talk about superheroes that flaunt the red, white, and blue. Some of them have shields and are veritable perfect beings. Some are practically gods among men who fly around with alien superpowers or literal divine implements. All fight for justice and honor. But, long before those heroes were flying flag colors, there was another figure that rose up to inspire folks with the same honor, justice, and American way.Now, official history says that a businessman donated food to the army during the War of 1812. His uncle-like behavior and the U.S. stamps lead to Uncle Sam being the nickname of the country. Others say that the icon of the character really only became relevant in the later 1870s and early 1900s thanks to posters and political cartoons. But, we're pretty sure that these are all just parts of the secret identity. We suspect Uncle Sam can do way more than just point! DESIGN & DETAILSFascinate friends with the secret superpowers of the personification of the United States with this exclusive Uncle Sam Costume. Our own designers want you to love this high-quality look of America's favorite uncle. The full-length pants have an elastic waist and evenly spaced red and white stripes. The navy blue jacket has large lapels and coat tails as well as an off-white vest with brass buttons. The look wouldn't be complete without a large red bow tie and a white top hat with a royal blue, starred hat band. Just get that pointer finger prowess down pat and you'll be Uncle Sam! WHAT ARE YOUR POWERS?We know that Uncle Sam has the ability to inspire pride and foster community among Americans. But, what other powers does this enigmatic patriot have? Only you can discover the secrets of this fatherly figure and only with this Classic Uncle Sam Costume!

Southern charmWhile there was a lot wrong with the antebellum South, one thing they got right was the ladies’ beautiful fashions. These women took “go big or go home” to an all new level, with hoop skirts so wide that they sometimes couldn’t even walk through the door! Sometimes, five whole yards of fabric were needed for the voluminous skirts, and it could take days of work to create a complete outfit.Then, when a stylish belle finally received her dress, it was quite another process to actually put it on. There were the undergarments, the petticoats, the crinolines, the hoops, the underskirt… and the dreaded corset! All that had to go on first before the gown could even put worn. Then there was the detachable collar and all the accessories, like flowers for your hair and beautiful jewelry. We guess southern belles really knew how to suffer for fashion!Product DetailsThankfully, your charming southern belle doesn’t have to worry about trading comfort for style at her next ball with this beautiful Kid’s Lovely Southern Belle Costume.

Queen of KattegatSome queens are known for sitting on a comfy throne. They bark orders and they live lavish lives, indulging in their vices, while their people do all of the queen's dirty work. Not Lagertha Lothbrok. She's a Viking queen. She's ready to get her own hands dirty. She'll charge onto the battlefield, sword in hand to cut down the enemy herself. If you ask us, that's kind of queen you want to follow!Well, if you're the regal kind of girl who's got a taste for the battlefield, then this Vikings Plus Size Lagertha Lothbrok Costume will transform you into the battle-worn character. It's an officially licensed outfit inspired by the television series.Design & DetailsThis women's costume is a Made by Us design, which means our costume designers took some serious notes while watching Vikings.

Just make sure you bring your sword and shield along with you (sold separately)!
THE PROPHECY BEGINSOur office Seer doesn't usually have a ton to say. To be honest, a bunch of us are beginning to wonder why we even keep her around. "Trent of the number counters feasts upon the quarry of the unwary" is hardly a world-shattering insight... though it did help us realize where all our lunches were going. However, we know she's serious when she starts bringing up the All-Father and says that a warrior of legend is about to sail from our docks!So, we're getting everything ready for the new Earl (and maybe even King). That means preparing a whole fleet of ships for all the trips out west and plenty of ingredients for the various feasts that we know we'll be having. (Don't worry. Trent isn't helping out with that part of the preparation!) Anyway, you best get ready for some of the craziest adventure that you can imagine, because you're going to last at least four seasons when you set out with us! DESIGN & DETAILSThe Seer has spoken and our clan designers have raided at least a dozen settlements to gather enough materials for this officially licensed Ragnar Lothbrok Costume. This exclusive look includes everything you need to step into the role of the protagonist of Vikings. Start with an embossed tunic and matching belt that each look like worn leather. (Can't have you looking like this is your first fight, after all!) The pants have an elastic waist for easy wear and the boot covers are laser cut to look like leather plates! Get yourself an axe and shield and you might not even need the aid of the gods.WATCH OUT FOR BLIND DRIVERSOnce you go to fulfill the prophecy as Ragnar, we recommend that you watch out for some of those warnings. Especially in modern days, a blind taxi driver is a dangerous route to take! You don't want this Ragnar Costume lasting longer than you do, after all.
Dressed to the Nines Have you been invited to a costume soiree? Do you need perfectly accessorized evening garb posthaste in order to attend?

Product DetailsDon't wait another fortnight before getting your hands on an exclusive Adult Grey Top Hat! The molded top hat is made of grey polyester felt. The base of its high crown is ringed by a band of grey grosgrain ribbon. A hook and loop size-adjustment band is hidden inside the crown so that it can be fitted to perfection.

Any steampunk or Regency outfit will elevated by a fashionable lid like this one.
Disorder in the CourtDo you think you have what it takes to serve in a royal court? It sure sounds fancy, but life in court was never easy. You had to be careful with what you said, who you looked at, and what clothes you wore. If you made the mistake of wearing a fur that was nicer than the queen's furs, you could be sent away from court for good! On top of keeping track of courtesy codes, a successful lady in court had to remember the complicated steps of many dances. At least the royal court was comfortable, right? Not really! Castles were often rather chilly and often surprisingly crowded with lice and mice running amok through the fine royal trappings. Looking back, it's enough to make us glad for our less dramatic yet much more comfortable homes. Now, you can dress like a royal lady without having to deal with the disorder of court!Design & DetailsThis Made By Us emerald gown was designed by our in-house creative team. The long gown zips up the back, making slipping into this look easy. The velvet gown is trimmed with ornate off-white lace down the front. The white panel along the neckline and along the sleeves would make this a fashionable choice in a royal court. This high-quality gown is perfect for Renaissance Fairs and themed costume parties, making it a staple in your costume wardrobe!Rising in the RanksAre you dressing up as a lady in waiting? A traveling enchantress? A bona fide princess? Bring your character to life with the right hat, jewelry, or props. For instance, a princess might wear a circlet while a lady in waiting might wear a crown of braids or flowers. In the meantime practice your curtseys. If you're going to make it in court, you'd better start practicing now!
Slither into characterThere are a lot of wonderful goddesses in the Greek canon. There's the goddess of the hearth, the goddess of love, the goddess of the hunt. But here's the thing, a lot of these goddesses have some serious issues. Jealousy is a major player in many of the stories. Take Medusa, for instance, totally innocent in her story, a goddess curses her with snakes for hair after she catches the goddess's husband's eye. Not cool. But in the end, who's more famous. That goddess or the once-unknown Medusa? Well, some people might be able to think of the goddess's name but Medusa is definitely more popular!Product DetailsThis lovely golden crown will make your basic toga ensemble jaw-dropping and unique. The molded headpiece has a geometric crown base and a nest of slithering snakes with menacing red eyes. The foam interior makes this headpiece comfortable to wear for hours while the elastic band will keep your headpiece in place throughout the evening. Tipping the ScalesAre you ready to create an immortal look? This headpiece will make you look like you're straight out of the legends.

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!
