It’s well know that kids are friggen inquisitive.

So you and your 300 hoplite pals are headed to The Hot Gates? Well, we don't want to spoil anything, but we can recommend that you bring along as many swords and shields as you can carry.

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!

Be a GeniusBy age 20, Leonardo da Vinci earned the label “genius” and “master,” among others, from his peers in Guild of Saint Luke. After his death, he was exalted: “He towered above all other artists through the strength and the nobility of his talents.” In slight contrast, by age 20, we felt like a genius the first time we soft-boiled an egg in our ramen noodles. But our self-pity is neither here nor there. Geniuses are cut from a different cloth. Are you good at art? Do you have sketchbooks full of doodles and ideas and as-yet-unanswered questions? Maybe you have one of those similarly magnificent minds! The polymath of your generation, perhaps you’ll dethrone da Vinci as world’s greatest painter, or open a new frontier in cartography or paleontology. Or electric vehicles! We bet old Leo would be fascinated by green energy ourselves.Design & DetailsLucky for you, we don’t cut from the same cloth around here either. Our Leonard da Vinci Costume for Men is a Made by Us exclusive, so you know care went into every single stitch. Replete with a long-sleeved pullover tunic, velvet robe, faux-leather belt, and velvet hat, this exclusive costume will get you that much closer to fulfilling your potential.

With all this and a curious worldview, you’ll be ready to bring the renaissance to the 21st century! What’s gonna be your shtick? Our money is on emission-free vehicles. Yes… they will run solely on, erm, rainwater, and positive thoughts. Okay, never mind. We’ll leave the genius work to you.

A Day in the LifeEver wonder what a day in the life of an Amish woman is life? Now you can find out ...It's no surprise that the Amish live very different lives than the rest of us. Their day usually begins at 5:00 a.m., where they get dressed in their bonnets and hats and prepare for a long day of honest hard work. The men go out to tend to the crops while the women tend to various housework, which includes everything from milking the cows to making the bed. It takes a lot of diligence and love of a simple lifestyle in order to make Amish life worthwhile, but you'll soon see that living the simple life is the way to go.

Nah, QueenLet's set the record straight. Goddesses are not basic queens. Yes, queens can be righteous, brutal, powerful. But they simply aren't Goddesses. Queens might rule over armies and economies but only a goddess can control the weather and bring endless winter to the earth when someone really peeves her off. Goddess stories of terror, creation, and petty revenge are so good that we can't even find any to tell in this description without getting into trouble with the boss. So if "Yaas, Queen" isn't enough for you. If quivering in fear seems more like your style then this Women's Olympic Empress costume is the one for you!Details & DesignYou'll confidently rule the roost when you slip into this goddess costume. A slim white sheath is cinched with a golden belt and topped with a gold-edged one-shoulder neckline. The shoulder is accented with a printed medallion and a red swath of cloth drapes around your hip in a straight out of the ancient world way. Golden armbands wrap around the arms to top off this costume in just the right way!You've Got the PowerIt might take a little time to get used to all this power you've gained. After all, mortals used to go through perilous hurdles and odysseys to gain an Olympic status. Now, all you need to do is order this costume and the power will be yours! Now you might not be able to send a storm to follow that guy who cut you off in traffic, but finish off your look with a laurel leaf crown and a pair of gladiator sandals and you'll feel like you have all the mortals at your beck and call. Just remember, you don't just have the power of a throne, you've got the power of the heavens!

Quoth the Raven, 'Some Coiffure!' Once upon a Halloweeny, while we gandered weak and weary, at our hairstyle (sad and dreary) upon the mirror of our door, there we wondered a simple query, one that got us rather cheery: "Could we make our hair do more!?" The first step was to get out of that rhythmic pattern of Edgar Allan Poe's spectacular style. It's pretty tough coming up with stellar looks while you're stuck in the mindset of a haunting song. It did, however, give us some solid inspiration for ways to help you access your inner poet. Don't scratch your noggin all night trying to figure out the next stanza of your epic poem when you can transform into the epic writer in a snap! Design & DetailsOur In-House design team didn't need to wait for a mysterious devil bird to swing by and give them the idea. This Edgar Allan Poe Wig and Mustache kit was a Made by Us design that they'd been dreaming about for a while. You'll have a mesh cap of synthetic hair that is styled after the dismal style of the horror poet as well as a matching 'stache that will keep you longing for Lenore all night!Let Your Hair Do the TalkingWe've all got a secret yearning to let our deepest feelings out. Don't wait for that Telltale Heart to do the talking. Throw on this Edgar Allan Poe Wig and Mustache and you can just focus on the fun!
Time MachineTime machines don't exist. Believe us, we've checked into it and no one seems to have the technology to make on work, yet.

The look is lush with tiers trimmed in pink satin and lace. The top has a layered, ruffled neckline that's free of lace to keep your kiddo from annoying itching while remaining luxurious.

Terrifying or Tempting? That dumb Poseidon. It's all his fault that you're in this pickle. You let him pick the meetup spot, but when the goddess Athena found the two of you using her private temple as a date rendezvous, did she blame the true perpetrator? Nooo. Which is why you now have snakes instead of hair. The new 'do isn't all bad, though. No one really expects you to blowdry, spray, or curl anymore so you can go with the natural (and we mean natural!) look. For another, it's surprising how versatile snakes can be. You can go for the "sultry sorceress" vibe or play up the hissing to cultivate a horrifying persona. It's your call! Product Details Your exclusive Medusa Snake Costume Accessory Kit contains everything you need to star as everyone's favorite Gorgon. Simply style your hair as desired and clip in the three cute-but-creepy snakes. Voila! Serpentine yet sweet. Everyone will want the name of your hairdresser.

Completely EffortlessYou might not think it to look at him, but a member of the Regency's most fashionable set wore a lot of hats. He was usually awesome at boxing, fencing, and other sports, could toss off a whiskey or two after dinner without getting tipsy, and knew all the ins and outs of stylish flirtation. Plus, he had to do it all while wearing some seriously fancy clothes. Can you imagine wearing a white necktie and not getting sauce all over it during dinner? Yikes. Product DetailsBe the toast of your hunting club or local ballroom when you wear this Men's Regency Gentleman Costume!

When you're the ruler of the greatest ancient empire on the Nile river, you don't have to worry about what anything costs. Your only concern is keeping up with the most fabulous fashion of the time. You had to make sure everything was adorned in gorgeous jewels, flaked in gold, or made of the most luxurious Egyptian linens. Everything was at your fingertips as far as your great river would stretch. With ruling all of those people, we suppose you had earned it though. Maybe that and a few statues of yourself dotting the riverbanks. A pyramid just for you? So it shall be written, so it shall be done! The biggest proof of your power though, was the great headdress adorning you as a king of Europe would wear a crown. We understand that your royalty hasn't quite been recognized yet, but we know as well as you do that it's only a matter of time before this occurs. While your waiting, this fantastic King Tut headband will be a fantastic place holder to prepare you for the real deal.
Versailles VirtuesLife as a king in the late 1700s was a social one. In fact, kings were almost never left alone. From the moment Louis XVI woke up in the morning, he was surrounded by servants, advisors, and top guys from his various councils. And yes, luxurious royal activities abounded. He had to get his wig powdered and shaped. He went hunting with the boys. He entertained dignitaries in the hall of mirrors (we'll give you one guess what the walls of that hall are decorated with). Our point? The royal guy was super busy! With all the little details he needed to cover to keep his royal household happy, it's no wonder he lost track of what his subjects wanted!Details & DesignThis luxurious costume is Made by Us, meaning the king's top looks have been researched by our in-house designers. The high-waisted short pants, the long jacket, and the waistcoat all have a Rococo-inspired trim, making it look right at home in the over-the-top trappings of Versailles. You'll love the little details from the buttons to the lightweight cravat. Just be sure you avoid any swarms of angry French peasants. Heads UpLouis's reign might not have been a popular one, he's the only king that literally lost his head in the end. But we like to think that his ungraceful exit from the throne room was a symptom of the times rather than a personal hit at this fashionable king. If it hadn't been for the expensive wars, the uncomfortable wigs everyone was wearing, and the fact that the peasants wanted freedom and access to food, Louis probably would have been fine! How can you stay mad at a man wearing gold filigree trimmed short pants? Whether you're heading out with Marie Antoinette on your arm or you're making your royal debut solo, this costume will allow you to start Louis's reign fresh!
Well, we do declare!Look, we’re not going to lie…in this day and age, it’s a lil’ tough to wax poetic about an era in our American history.

If your little girl wants to harness the look of a classic Southern Belle, then she need look no further than this Made by Us costume, which captures the essence of the Southern Bell in a lovely purple dress.Design & DetailsSo anyway, if your little girl is dreaming of a lovely costume that will transform her back to that pivotal time in our nation's history, then this Child Deluxe Southern Belle Costume is just the ticket!

George Washington. One of the few presidents that everyone can recognize, able to even state that he was our first! We can imagine him with this fist on his chest, sailing across the Delaware River. We can imagine the tales we’ve heard… his wooden teeth and his proud proclamations that he couldn’t dare lie about cutting down the cherry tree. Few know the truth of where he got those wooden teeth!… Ok, so that was probably a lie, but it is hard living up to the high pedestal that the founding fathers left for us. Harder still to stand up to the first President! But, we can try by knowing as many obscure details about the man as possible. For example, he was born with no mortal father! Er, no, that was Merlin. George Washington was born with no middle name, though! He was also a rather exceptional dancer. As there weren’t any video games to play in the 18th century, we were left with few diversions and as a growing man in the social order, he was expected to attend many balls and parties. Finding that he enjoyed it so much, his skill quickly developed and so did his attraction to all the ladies at the dances, many of them attempting to dance at least twice with him!So, while there is a lot to live up to, it is generally accessible! And most of it can be done even without rotting out your teeth, first. You can start by helping your tyke climb into this George Washington costume. The blue polyester jacket has shining buttons in the front and the white cravat shirt just screams the right time period. Black vinyl boot tops make for a reliable look for the old world foot wear. Include a few other accessories, such as the iconic white wig or even the notorious cherry chopping axe!
A Knight Noble and TrueKing Arthur is worried. A band of evil knights is threatening the safety of his kingdom. The Knights of the Round Table are away settling an uprising in the North, and the rogues are using the opportunity to pillage and plunder their way through the towns near Camelot. Just as the king is prepared to ride out to fight them alone, a mysterious stranger arrives at his castle. Dressed all in black armor, the unknown knight requests the honor of fighting the rebels alone. The king is concerned for his safety, but grants his wish. As he watches from the battlements, lo and behold! The knight fights with the strength of 50 men and the rogue band is put to flight!Product DetailsShow off your bravery in this exclusive Dark Crusader Kid's Costume! A silver tunic protects your arms from stray blows, and a long black tabard provides ease of movement so that you can swing a lance as easily as a sword. Two belts give you room to hang your extra weapons and silver gloves let you grip those weapons securely. As a finishing touch, the silver hood fits snugly over your head to keep you comfortable even inside those metal helmets. The Mightiest KnightOnce you rid him of his foes, the king will surely want to reward you with half of his kingdom! The choice is yours whether you want to rule at his side or continue on your adventures. Whatever you decide, the Dark Crusader is a legend that Camelot will not soon forget.
The Coliseum was home to the greatest warriors in all of history, we are, of course, talking about the mighty gladiators. You don’t just become one of these phenomenal fighting sensations overnight.

Before you know it you'll be receiving messages from Roman officials cordially inviting you and your youngster to fight in the actual Coliseum!
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.

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!
Go Go GorgonThe Gorgons are myths of iconic proportions, though most only know of them via their matriarch, Medusa. But Medusa is merely one sister of three! She’s the youngest of the three serpent-haired and cursed aquatic sisters who could turn mortals to stone with just a gaze. While the others, Stheno and Euryale might have been immortal, it was only Medusa who etched a place in all our memories. It’s not a happy tale, Medusa’s. Unfortunately for her, cursed by Athena for no good reason, Medusa became a horrible snake-headed monster that everyone feared until another demigod showed up with a bevy of blessed divine artifacts and beheaded her!Design & DetailsThere’s a lot of power in rewriting myth. You can do just that in our exclusive Women’s Plus Size Deluxe Medusa Costume! It was tough to create a look based on a woman who can’t be looked at, but our amazing designers have worked a miracle and created this legendary look. It’s a green and scale-printed bodysuit that will give you the serpentine sway that tempts all mortals. It has the added detail of extending along your hand with a ring sleeve. The bronze halter dress drapes around your hips with a long Grecian drape between your legs. The final detail is a luxurious green faux gem brooch that matches the scales. And because it’s one of our Made By Us exclusives, you can worry less about the quality of that scaly bodysuit and more about how to tempt your mortals. Pick up a serpent wig or detailed bow and take your revenge on Perseus and Athena!Medusa Seduce YaWhen you are garbed up as this glorious Gorgon, know that the striking the right pose may stiffen folks into stone. You'll want to practice this with care to make sure it doesn't happen by accident because there aren't many ways to fix the cursed power of this exclusive Plus Size Medusa Costume.

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.
Everyone knows that being a goddess would be amazing. But what would be the best color outfit for a goddess to wear while going about her celestial business? Purple, of course! When your little one is dressed up in this Purple Goddess Costume, she'll look like she'd just strolled out of an Ancient Greek myth!There are a few purple things in the natural world, like grapes, lilacs, and a few flashy birds and lizards, so people have been aware of this pretty color for quite a while. But throughout history, purple dye has been notoriously difficult and expensive to make, and in the case of the dye called "Tyrian purple," which was made of rotten sea snails, it was also pretty gross to make! This meant that for most of history, only royalty and the very wealthy could afford to wear purple outfits. But no goddess is going to be thwarted by earthly technological restrictions like that, and if she wants to wear a purple dress, she's just a snap of her fingers away from having the chicest look on Mount Olympus!Luckily, this dress doesn't require divine intervention (or even rotten snails) to get its stunning purple hue. The cream colored synthetic gown and shoulder drapes transition to a heavenly purple color, which is complimented by gold details and brocade ribbons. Once she puts on the included gold headband and a pair of ancient style sandals, she'll be the best dressed goddess at any Greek costume party!

Diety DramaIf there's one thing we know about the ancient gods, they love a bit of drama. Whether it was love or war, they couldn't help getting involved in mortal trouble. They blessed those that entertained them the most, watching as we humans launched ships and attacked lands simply because the most beautiful woman in the world left her husband. Knowing what we know about the gods, it's safe to say they love reality television. They no longer need to meddle in our affairs, we broadcast them for all the world to see. That's nice for everyone in Olympus but we can't help but feel that we're missing out. Wouldn't it be nice if the gods came down and stirred up some good old-fashioned deity drama every once in a while?Costume DetailsThis brilliant gold and white Greek God costume is perfect for making an entrance worthy of Olympus. The costume includes a lightweight toga trimmed in gold. The elastic waistline is disguised with a golden sash. A gold cape is draped over the shoulders so that mortals know that you're someone important at first glance. Complete with gold gauntlets and a laurel wreath crown, the He's a God Costume is ready for costume events and toga parties as soon as it arrives.Complete CharacterDo you want to develop your character? Make it obvious what God you're supposed to be. Don't forget to accessorize! Going for Bacchus? Nice! You're going to want a large goblet and some grapes. Zeus? Bring a lightning bolt along. And remember, whatever god you're dressing up as, just don't forget to bring the drama!
Hail, Caesar!Most Romans wore white togas. It showed everyone in Roman society that you were an upstanding citizen and could easily be compared to a suit, or maybe a sweater vest in today's standards. Of course, if you're planning on being an extraordinary Roman figure, then you're going to need something a little more eye-catching than the standard white toga. You need something with a fiery attitude and perhaps a bold color that transcends white! You need something that will inspire the masses to call out your name, like a modern-day Julius Caesar! How about red?Yes, we think a rich red color is the perfect color to get you in the ruling mood and our expert costume designers have crafted this Plus Size Roman Toga Costume will give you an elegant and regal look to help you step into the role of emperor!Design & DetailsThis Made by Us really captures the look and feel of ancient Roman attire!

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!
Making a MarkThink about it. With nothing more than a few bolts of cloth, some thread, and some nimble fingers, Betsy Ross created one of the most iconic symbols in all of American history. It's had a few updates since the very first flag was crafted in 1776, but the basic design remains mostly unchanged since then. After all, why mess with perfection, right? She was one of the first women to leave their mark in America and we think that's pretty cool! It's why we decided to make a costume based on the iconic figure!Our costume designers look at classic paintings of Betsy Ross to draw inspiration for this historical costume for women, and they did a great job of creating a look that captures her sense of ingenuity!Design & DetailsThis Betsy Ross Costume for women will help you carry on the legacy of one of America's most amazing women! It starts with a blue floral dress that has a white skirt on the front portion. The dress has lace on the sleeves to help give it an authentic look. The costume also comes with a white shawl that fits around your shoulders and ties in front. The included choker is blue to match the dress and fits around your neck. Finally, the white hat brings the whole look together by giving you a colonial style that looks like it came straight from the American Revolution!Perfect for July 4th!If you love history, then you might want to recreate the iconic moment when Betsy created the first U.S. flag! Of course, this costume also works great if you plan on celebrating the 4th of July, or as an outfit for the plays and pageants! Just be sure to pair this costume up with a classic American Flag (not included) to finish the look.
Anubis seems like a pretty chill god. He’s not a total blockhead like some of those Greek gods, who spent most of their time backstabbing each other. He mostly just likes to hang out with dead souls and guide them get to their proper place in the land of the dead. He also acts sort of like a bodyguard to the afterlife, since he uses his handy scale to weigh people’s hearts. (He makes sure all the jerks don’t make it in.) If you plan on choosing an Egyptian god to dress up as, then Anubis is your guy… or jackal.Now, you can be the Egyptian deity Anubis! This adult Anubis mask is molded into the shape of a jackal face and has a black front with plenty of gold detailing on the ears. When you wear it, you can hang with the pharaohs or chill with the mummies, because everyone loves the ancient God of the Dead!
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.

This Pilgrim Hat will be a great start!From there you just need the right shoes, stockings, garters, breeches, cuffs, a stylish doublet and some lovely ruff... quite the list of necessities but hey, at least we've got you started with that amazing hat!

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. You're not just some fancypants prancing around in their puffy sleeves and twinkling crown: you're like a well-dressed 24/7 plumbing service. And Renaissance plumbing is not something you want to have to fix, no matter what you're wearing!So we made this fine Noble Renaissance Man Costume for people who crave a life of leisure. Sure, somebody wearing an outfit like this probably doesn't bathe in coffers overflowing with gold florins. But they also don't have people knocking on their door at all hours because a kitty cat or pigheaded goat is stuck in a tree again, and nobody else can afford a ladder. A Noble Renaissance Man like this is free to tend his modest parcel of land or become learned, to play chess or train in swordsmanship. 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!

And then, suddenly, every aspect of your life suddenly becomes dictated by a half-pint who just learned their his few words! It's oddly adorable when he demands more juice and a toy to play with. It sort of feels like you're trying to keep a young emperor happy, doesn't it? Why, maybe you can even see your child wearing a toga and commanding a whole nation, just like Julius Caesar! Of course, the good news is that "parent" always outranks "Caesar" in the modern age! But you know, that whole toga idea might just make for one adorable outfit for the next costume party! That's precisely why we've made this Toga Costume for toddlers!Our costume designers wanted to capture the essence of Julius Caesar in a Roman-style costume and they came up with this simple number for your child.Design & DetailsIf your child is ready to rule, or if you just want to give him a taste of ancient history, then this Toddler Toga Costume is perfect for your little one.

Imagine living in a world where nasty villain comes to your home, takes all your food and money in the name of the Prince, then he laughs in your face. Not cool, dude. Not cool at all.

They need an outlaw! They need...your courageous young girl! Yes, that's right. We think your girl has the right stuff to play the role of Robin Hood, the hero of all the classic tales. All she needs is a great costume and a great imagination.This Miss Robin Hood Costume for girls lets your child look like of the classic storybook character that has a serious problem with authority.

Just make sure you arm her with some archery skills before you get her all set up in this outfit—she's going to need them if she plans on battling it out with Prince John and his dastardly soldiers.

You've got a real holy warrior vibe going on which we dig. Comes with the territory of being a knight of the Crusades, but some guys just don't have that internal essence to really pull it off. You do!Anyway, now that you're in your armor, we've got to train you on how to ride a horse. How to clean a blade. How to cut through a man as if he were a block of cheese. Soft cheese too.

Ren-Faire Wardrobe"Oh, Fair Maiden, would thou do'ith thy honor of accompanying thee to yonder tavern for a flagon of ale and a veritable bounty of nachos?"If that sounds like the perfect way for someone to ask you on a date (and if you understood what it meant), then the Renaissance Faire is definitely your kind of festival!

You can be a well-to-do maiden in this royal-looking dress, but if trouble arises, you can take up a sword and fight to defend your honor. You could even stop by the tavern and enjoy a couple of rounds with the other festival-goers, and your fancy style would fit right in!Product DetailsThis lovely purple velvet and gold lace gown gives you a regal look that goes well with any accessories you choose.

And, if you do happen to accompany a lordly gentleman to the tavern, make sure he doesn't try to stick you with "thy check"...
Ruling England during the beginning of the 1500s was never an easy task. It was almost impossible not to get caught up in all the politics and danger of the court. Just spending a single day around it is enough to make someone lose their head. Taking care of the peasants and making sure you don't anger the rest of the royal families is difficult enough, but you even have to know exactly how to dress properly at all times! Anne Boleyn understood this all too well. She began in relatively humble roots as far as royal standards go, but to us, it was quite the lap of luxury. She was the daughter of an earl, a middle ranking noble, and was able to study in both France and the Netherlands in her younger years. She was betrothed to a few people that various church officials would refuse to officiate for strange reasons, but that never got her down. She moved up to be the maid of honor to the queen where the king himself fell head over heels for her! We think that when the king of a country (or anyone for that matter) excommunicates himself from the largest religion of the time, and creates his own church for you, you know that it's the truest of all loves. There's no possible way something that intense is going to end badly, right?In order to help you find your own gallant ruler, we've decided to take a little weight off of your shoulders. This beautiful dress is a wonderful inspiration of one that the one and only Miss Boleyn herself would wear around the castle, and is sure to have you stand out at the next costume or old English themed party!
