A Medieval Anti-HeroSome knights get all the glory. Turns out all you had to do to get your name in the books was show up at a big circular table and tell a bunch of jokes around a bunch of blokes who you aren't even sure really knew how to ride a horse! Meanwhile, you walk around the court in your pretty stylish armor and folks freak out just because you like the look of black on silver. "Oh, no! The Dark Knight comes!" they scream and you're like, "Yeah, I just finished saving your town from roving bandits! You're welcome!?"Let's be honest. If you're not in a set of shining silver armor and speaking thirty unintelligible syllables per sentence, most of the villagers won't give you the time of day. We're here to change that, though, by showing that even those edgy crusaders can save the day. Design & Details Show that not all knights shine in the same style when you gear up in our Dark Crusader costume. This is a Made By Us design that channels the edgy quality we love in anti-heroes and applies it to the bold knights of the past! Start with an inspired tunic with the look of chain mail, and a hood to match. The full-length tabard is worn over top and provides the dark color you've quested for as well as a white cross on the chest. Cinch your look together with the double belts and pair of gauntlets and you're ready to tackle anything! (Though maybe a prop sword and shield wouldn't hurt!)The Dark KnightEvery legend has a story about the knight in shining armor saving the day. It is time for you to tell a story that is brand new when you step into this Dark Crusader costume and claim the tale for yourself! Don't forget your prop sword and shield because you don't want to end up like that other Black Knight of Camelot. (Let's go ahead and avoid even those flesh wounds, okay!?)
The Warrior's WaySometimes, you know just know early on. The way her eyes smolder while she's playing on the playground. The way she wields a toy sword. The way she seizes her afternoon snack with the fervor of a berserker! Yes, sometimes you just know that your girl has a ferocious warrior's spirit and a hunger for battle and adventure. As her guardian, it's up to you to show her how to grow into a capable Viking hero—the kind that will be talked about in stories for centuries to come! You'd better teach her how to wield a toy sword and shield. You'd better teach her how to defend herself from draugr attacks and how to slay the deadly trolls of the hills. But, most importantly, you had better equip her with an outfit befitting of a Valkyrie descended from Valhalla!Well, we don't know anything about Viking combat skills, but we can totally help you outfit your child with a Viking costume!Design & DetailsThis Viking Hero Costume for girls transforms any girl into a fierce warrior.

This simple outfit will have her looking just like a medieval Viking warrior!
As far as Halloween costume accessories go, hats can make or break your costume. Wearing a hat as part of your costume can be a risky choice if you’re going out. Over time, some hats can become uncomfortable or, if they don’t fit tight, can get knocked off your head easily. You don’t want to spend all night keeping track of your hat. If you’re thinking about some head wear for your costume make sure it’s something that adds significantly to the costume. Obviously, an Abraham Lincoln costume becomes more recognizable with a top hat, or a Charlie Chaplin look will be more complete with a bowler hat. In fact, a bowler hat would look great with a lot of costumes and, if you’re looking for one that will fit comfortably and stay on your head all night, all you need is this black mini bowler hat. This hat features a soft velvet exterior and fits perfectly on your head with the attached elastic string. Add a touch of class to your Halloween costume this year with this black mini bowler.
A GODDESS OF MYSTERYAncient Egypt offers us a ton of strange history that might never be fully unpacked. With so many people, so wide-spread throughout the territory, it is understandable that they couldn't always quite agree on everything. So, when you've got a feline deity that seems capable of so much at once, it makes sense that they couldn't quite decide what she was the goddess of or even what to call her! Bast, Bastet, Ubaste... or even adored by the Greek as Ailuros!? From there, folks have to wonder if she's the lioness goddess of the hunt, a protector deity watching over the household, a goddess of the sun or moon, or the lady who keeps away disease with her mighty perfumes while helping Anubis watch over the land of the dead. That's a pretty big portfolio for deific deeds! It's no wonder that cats were such holy creatures when you've got a mighty feline goddess who has so many responsibilities.DESIGN & DETAILSAfter learning everything there is to know about the ever-beloved and changing Egyptian deity, our in-house designers were finally freed to show off the glory with this exclusive Bastet Goddess Costume. This luxurious look includes a black, open-shouldered bodysuit with gleaming golden sleeve cuffs and a sleeveless top with a matching gold foam collar and bustled fabric down the bust. Printed hieroglyphic symbols decorate the golden front of the skirt and the black and gold cat-ear headpiece stays set in place with elastic. No godly look is complete without a sheer mesh cape that falls to your knees from the golden collar. Stand in rulership of your domain as the most beloved feline deity of all times. THE BLESSING OF THE KITTIESIt should be no wonder why Bastet remains an adored goddess in an age where cats have taken over the Internet. Keep the divine light shining down while all bend knee to your glorious rule when you slip into this Bastet Costume and rise as a fierce lioness warrior!

King of the OceanOf all the Olympian gods, we'd want to be friends with Poseidon the most! His kingdom covers most of the Earth, and is filled with amazing creatures like sharks, sea horses, eels, and more.

After all, who could be expected to sit in a throne room all day when there are so many coral reefs just waiting to be explored?
Plenty of powerful women have made their mark on history. Zenobia conquered Europe and even had the guts to stand up to the Roman Empire. Empress Wu Zetian expanded education and increased economic prosperity in China during her tenure. Amy Schumer proved that women are way better at gross-out humor than guys! Of course, few women hold the kind of reverence as the fiercely intelligent and classically beautiful Cleopatra.From an early age, all the way to her death, she truly broke the mold of what society thought a woman should be. She used her sharp wits to wrestle control of Egypt away from her brother. She snuck herself into the presence of Julius Caesar, cleverly hiding herself within a rug being delivered to him. She commanded her naval forces with deft precision during the Battle of Actium. She did all this with elegance and style. Even Shakespeare, a man born centuries after her untimely death, was enamored with her story. Now, you can step into her alluring shoes with this Cleopatra costume for women.Now, we can’t guarantee that any fancy English playwrights will craft a tale of your exploits while wearing this exclusive plus size Cleopatra costume, but it will make you feel like a regal figure ready to rule over her subjects!

But they might see it differently. They might be on a legendary quest. You may see them waving a stick through the air, but to them, they're defeating a mythological beast, just as the mighty Hercules did in his tales.

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.
ROMANS, COUNTRYMEN, HERE IS OUR GEARThere is a reason that the classic look of the Roman toga will never go away. It isn't just that it is crazy fun to dress up in one for your collegiate party. It isn't that the ability to go somewhere without technically wearing pants is perhaps the most freeing experience anyone can ever have. It isn't even the fact that literal gods wore the threads while they were ruling on high in Mount Olympus. It's not even the awe of stepping into ancient history. So, what is it!?

Temporal DaydreamsDo you ever think about time travel? We do. We probably spend WAY more time thinking about that sort of thing than we should. Maybe we read too many adventure books about the subject. You know the type. A seemingly average woman gets swept through time to a few hundred years in the past. She must figure out a way to travel back to her time, all while getting wrapped up in political intrigue and colonial adventures with her new friends from the past. She might even strike up a romance with some dashing figure from the past... it sounds so exhilarating!Of course, that never happens in real life. Or at least, we've never heard of it happening, but we like to pretend. It's part of the whole reason we got into the costuming gig. Costumes let you embark upon some pretty marvelous journeys. Through the power of costume, you can create a little time-jumping adventure of your own, even if you're just roleplaying the whole thing. Who knows! When you put on this Colonial Village Woman Costume, you might just get sucked into some Jamestown drama!Product DetailsThis historical costume is a plus size outfit that recreates the look of the colonial days.

Delaware River ReadyWashington was a founding father and the first president of this country but he also looked pretty great in epic scenarios. That could be because of his perfectly coiffed wig. Or maybe it's because of his dapper uniform.

Perfect for topping off your founding father look, this hat will have you ready to face river crossings and political meetings, alike!Product DetailsThis light-weight hat will have you feeling right at home in 1776. There is a bow and a soft medallion on one side to show your high status.

Now that your outfit is settled, when do you all want to carpool to Mount Vernon?
The Ancient Egyptians knew that royalty was a grand mandate of divinity. Their pharaohs were reincarnated forms of the great sun god, Ra. Because, what is better than being King than being a God-King!? Challenged to bring their people to untold prosperity while competing with somewhere between 6 and 40,419 gods of death, those rulers had no end to their stress! And, worse, those who were disturbed or ruled unwisely might rise as mummies, forever tormented to wander the sands until the rightful pharaoh might come and return them to their slumber. So, maybe being king isn’t always the easiest of paths in life!But, still, the best thing about the pharaohs were that we had no specific limitations on who might be named! Those with the divine right would be raised, no matter who they were. Man, woman, or even kiddos were all eligible if they possessed the wisdom to rule… at least for a while. The great King Tutankhamen, the boy king, became one of the most famously known names in even our modern era.And, reincarnation is still a thing, even these many years later. Channel the lost soul of King Tut by gifting your kiddo with the luxury of rule with this Child King Tut costume. Luxurious black and gold polyester interlock knit fabric make up this knee-length tunic whose belt and collar are trimmed with gold and turquoise colors amidst a metallic golden braid, all featuring Egyptian-themed patterns. Matching velvet armbands shine like rare jewelry thanks to faux gems and fasten easily with the mythical power of Hook and Loop fastener. The headpiece is a black velvet fabric with golden stripes and a soft sculpted cobra with gleaming emerald eyes. Let your tyke reign forever as the God-King Tutankhamen and, even if the rule doesn’t last forever, you know that a mummy could be a great option next year!
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.

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.

Even though our professional training is in making Halloween costumes, we have an amateur's enthusiasm for a lot of different occupations. So the part of us that likes to read biographies and volunteer at the local historical society was really psyched about this regal Toddler Knight Costume! Unfortunately, their museum doesn't have any displays about the age of chivalry, since the head-to-toe chain mail fad never quite made it to this part of the world. But we're still really excited, so we thought we'd take a shot at giving this outfit some brief historical context. Ahem:About a thousand years ago, people were so good at putting pointy pieces of metal on the end of sticks, they didn't think there was any room for improvement. But along came a clever (and kind of crazy) blacksmith who realized that linking a bunch of little metal loops together was a really great way to stop pointy pieces of metal from getting to the squishy parts of a person! Everybody who had a suit of this new kind of armor became very popular. In fact, the inhabitants of each village and hamlet handed out candy to these glittering guardians, hoping that they'd stick around for a while. That gave rise to knights, a class of armor-wearers for hire, who went from town to town collecting treats for a living! And sometimes they wore crowns for fun (and dramatic effect).In that proud tradition we humbly offer this detailed outfit, so that anyone can reap the sweet rewards that come from dressing up in a shiny coat of mail! The end!
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!
War, HuhBeing the God of War, you don’t necessarily care about who is fighting, who is winning, or what caused the conflict in the first place. You are the ultimate measure of what it means to be in the middle of the battle and strife, so any conflict is good enough for you!That said, it sometimes is nice to chill out and relax on Olympus. Everyone needs some R&R sometimes, after all, and you are just lucky that you can hang with the cream of the crop and eat ambrosia all day!Product DetailsFinding the right accessories for your favorite costume is an important part of dressing up, but, luckily, we are here to serve with this Ares Costume Kit.

Just make sure you practice your best smile so that the painters can capture it on an urn or two!
Wildflowers and Wagon WheelsThe pioneers of the wild west were an adventurous bunch. People left their tight-knit communities for all sorts of reasons. Some loaded their wagons for the long haul, taking on the Sierra Nevada mountains to take up residence in California. Others craved the isolation of the plains, building houses out of sod and working the wild land. Whether they were crossing the plains or settling in the midwest, the men and women of the wagon trains all reported back on the beauty of the prairie. If you crave the sensation of taking in an endless blue sky above an ocean of grass with meadowlarks among the wildflowers then slipping into this Women's prairie dress costume will make you feel like you're one of the brave 19th-century pioneers!Design & DetailsThis calico dress would look just right on a prairie homestead. The one-piece dress zips up the back and has a long skirt sporting a wide border and a blouse top with the billowing sleeves that were so popular in the 1800s. The top is detailed with decorative buttons on the front and velvet trim along the collar and cuffs. Accented with a cameo brooch, this dress is a lovely pick for plays, reenactments, and costume parties. Pieces of the PastWhile we're glad that we no longer have to cook our food over an open fire or scrub our clothes by hand, it's a lot of fun to visit the 19th Century every once in a while. And when you add little details to this costume like a wide brim bonnet, you take it to the next level. That bonnet keeps the sun off your face as you tend to barefoot children and gather herbs to heal people along the trail becoming an important part of building your character. It's amazing how costumes like this can make the past come alive!
Battle isn't all about offense there, buster. You might think you can charge into the fray, wielding nothing but your deadly barbarian axe of slaying, but what happens when there's warrior on the other side of the battlefield wielding the same axe? Then, you might want a little something that we call “insurance of the old world.” You might want a little something called a “shield.” We just so happen to have the perfect one for you, based of the classic equipment of the Norse Vikings!This Wooden Viking Shield brings one sturdy looking piece of battle equipment. It looks just like something that a Viking marauder might use to defend himself during a vicious battle. Of course, this prop is just that! A prop. So, do go out and try to block sword attacks with this thing if you value your life. It DOES, however, make for one awesome LARPing accessory. So, whether you're headed into pretend battles, or you just want to look like a glorious Valkyrie, then this shield is exactly what you want in your off-hand.
Some kids like to explore.Now we don't mean poking around the backyard. No, we mean climbing trees, collecting bugs and wildlife, documenting foliage, and getting dirty. We're talking exploring in the most in-depth sense of the word. Kids that camp outside, hike through the woods, and track down critters... some kids are just outdoors kids.Which probably means they wouldn't want costumes of doctors and spacemen. No, they'll need something to suit their tastes, something like this Kids Davy Crockett Costume. Davy Crockett is a famous American frontiersman. Known for feats like defending the Alamo, the legends around this folk-hero are far more colorful. From killing a bear when he was three to killing one with only his knife as an adult, we're pretty sure Davy Crockett was like the Chuck Norris of the frontier. Seriously. His stories just keep getting bigger and more crazy. There have been plays and books about it. Go check it out.As such an epic man of the woods, he would be the perfect icon for your outdoorsy kid to dress up as. Whether for play or party, our Kids Davy Crockett Costume should do the trick. There's a flannel shirt with faux fringe, faux leather belt, a "coonskin" hat, and powder horn. Add a couple knives, hatchets, and rifles and your little one will be ready to take on whatever trouble comes bounding out of that forest.
Find Your FatherThere are a lot of different ways to understand and celebrate history. Obviously, our favorite is a good old-fashioned time travel adventure. Whether you're hopping into a phone booth, a 1980s sports car, or listening to a soundtrack that bends the very cosmos, it is a pretty surefire way to get in contact with some famous, historical figures. Some might think that deciding who to meet is the toughie. But, the real question is what you're going to do once you find them!Imagine you're face to face with Alexander Hamilton, for example. This guy knew a ton and helped to invent a bunch more. He was a military commander, a banker, lawyer, statesmen, and he knew enough about economics to help create the American financial system. Secretary of the Treasury was a natural next stop. Plus, there are a few dramatic moments we wouldn't mind learning more about. (Especially since getting tickets to the Broadway show is impossible!)Design & DetailsDon't wait for your tickets to finally show up. Bring your Hamilton moments to life right away with our Alexander Hamilton costume. This is a Made by Us costume brought to you direct from our in-house design team. The ensemble includes a blue velvet jacket with white panels and gold buttons. The pants have elastic at the back and go great with the included boot tops. Fluff up your cravat around your neck and get ready to belt out your favorite hip hop songs or secure the future of the American way. For Future FameWe're not saying that you'll definitely become the founder of a whole new system of economic success just by wearing this Alexander Hamilton costume. You might not even feel like opening up a hit musical that takes the world by storm. However, you'll definitely look pretty awesome... and isn't that the start of every great new venture?
Blue Skies AheadWomen and girls on the prairie faced a lot of adventures. They herded the cows in from the field when dark storm clouds threatened from the horizon. They would help wash the family's laundry in rushing streams and freezing cold mountain lake water. They'd gather firewood, help mend fences, and run through prairie grasses with their dogs yapping at their heels.Through all those adventures, one character was ever-present, the big sky above! The elements of the prairie were always intense, the sun shining strong without a tree to rest under in sight. No wonder the sunbonnet was such a staple of the western wardrobe!Design & DetailsThis lovely little sunbonnet will help you pretend that you just stepped into the adventurous past. The fabric has a gorgeous pattern of pink and blue flowers with lovely little green leaves. The brim will shade your face to keep you comfortable even while the sun is shining bright in the big sky. A bow can be tied behind the neck or under the chin, depending on your preference, making it a perfect addition for any woman or child on the prairie!Westward Ho!Have you ever dreamed of heading west in a wild-covered wagon adventure? Pair this bonnet with a prairie dress and some good walking boots and you'll be ready to head west... at least in your imagination!
Cleopatra is revered for her beauty to this day. But did you know she was a master of pageantry too? Case in point, in 41 BC Cleopatra had an appointment to meet the triumvir Mark Antony. Now, we’ve all had meetings. If we really feel like putting on airs we might put on a little makeup, do something classy with our hair, even paint our nails. But Cleopatra had a golden barge with purple sails and silver oars made just for the occasion, and she rode up to the Roman beneath a gilded canopy while her servants fanned her and burned sweet incense around her. Needless to say, Antony was rather impressed. Think about that next time you need to make a great first impression.This shoulder length bob with bangs is another fine way to make a great impression. If you’re shooting for the Cleopatra look, it’s impossible to overdo it -- the pharaoh wasn’t known for her subtlety. This wig also works for Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction!
Well, good morrow to you, young squire! Have another mug of mead to warm that belly. Aye, the tavern is where we call home. As they say, sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your title. So come on in, pull up a stool to the bar and have a drink with Cliff, the scroll-delivery man and Norm, whatever he does for a living. And then there's Frasier, Diane, basically, everybody knows your title at the tavern (Alright so it's not exactly Cheers but can't it at least feel that way?!). The best thing about Renaissance taverns is that no one hassles you for spending all your time there. Plenty of bar wenches to leer at too, once you've had one too many mugs of beer. And taverns are great places to find adventures!Yes, that's right, adventures. You never know when you'll bump into a knight on his way to slay a dragon. Or perhaps an eccentric old wizard, who turned his apprentice into a frog and must now journey to the forbidden forests to retrieve a pure witch's eye for his cure potion. Or maybe some of the king's men will come in, demanding free drinks and grabbing a wench for fun. Or maybe some rioting townspeople are planning to burn you at the stake because they think you're responsible for the drought. Oh dear. Taverns seem pretty dangerous, now that we think of it. Why are dangerous people always ending up in taverns? Next think you know, that knight will be leading a dragon right to you. And those townspeople will start a bonfire for you. Either that or people will start calling you the town drunk, which, let's face it, you are. How could you not be? You spend every waking moment (and many passed out moments) in that tavern drinking.
Beauty of the NileWho was the real power in the ancient world? Julius Caeser or Marc Antony? Please. They were men. They had some successful campaigns, but so did another highly acclaimed ruler of their time. Plus, this particular ruler had a huge advantage: Personal style. Dazzling the masses and impressing your subjects is an important part of keeping the throne. And let's be honest: A sweeping gown is much more impressive than a boring old toga. Product DetailsBegin your glittering reign when you wear your exclusive Plus Size Queen Cleopatra Costume for Women! The sleeveless dress has a bodice made of shimmery gold faux linen. Center ruching accents the flattering V neckline and continues down the hips as the bodice forms a gently draped overskirt that parts in the middle to reveal the long metallic knit underskirt. A foam-backed belt with a front drape secures around your waist, and a semi-sheer metallic knit cape fastens around your shoulders via a gold faux leather collar. Crown your costume with the golden faux leather headband! Your Majesty Is Cleopatra #goals? Definitely! It's true that she did defeat her own brother in battle and pull some underhanded tricks, but that's just "making tough decisions." She's a smart and strategic general in her own right whose reign is not to be underestimated. The only thing she wasn't exactly great about is keeping her distance from snakes. Make sure you don't get too close to anyone wearing a serpent outfit this Halloween!
If you’re painting your caveOr inventing fireYou want that blonde hairWhich all cavemen admireWhether gathering by dayOr hunting by nightEveryone lovesA well-coiffed troglodyte-Prehistoric caveman poemWe have studied every fossil and ancient cave painting we could find in order to bring the most accurate replica of the typical caveman hairdo directly to you.

This comfortable wig fits comfortably thanks to its secure mesh cap.
Life as a PioneerThe pioneers were brave people. A picturesque life on the prairie included all sorts of dangers. Relentlessly hot summers gave way to brutally cold winters. People would look up from their work when and see a wall of prairie fires headed toward their farm, growing taller with each foot of grass that was consumed. Then there were the terrifying swarms of locusts that not only ate the crops but would devour the clothes and the clothes line if the laundry hadn't been brought in fast enough.So why, after all that trouble, do we remember the days of the pioneer so fondly? It was a time of hope. Those people with limited options who had only known the crowded city streets of coastal cities could find a place where they could watch the sunset and rise on an open horizon. They could build something all their own and truly be free. The communities out there were the definition of tightly knit. And how awesome would it have been to travel by covered wagon?Product DetailsWhen your daughter dresses as in this dress, she'll feel as free as that pioneer girl collecting herbs and roots on the prairie. You can almost imagine the larks singing in the grasses as she spins around in the long skirt. Whether she's starring as the charming Laura Ingalls Wilder for in the school play or the whole family is headed to a Rendezvous, this costume will make you feel sentimental for that sun-washed, simple time. One thing is for sure, it's hard not to get into character in this ensemble. Next thing you know she'll want to trade in her tablet for hoop and stick game.

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.

Your beard is down to your knees, your shirt has more holes than a wheel of Swiss cheese, and you’ve had it up to here with wrestling bears. But you just know that the oil is out there somewhere.

IT'S HARD TO BE THE BARDYou've got to have a certain kind of ego to be a writer. You know, to sit back and think, 'Yeah, people need to know what I have to say!'

Give Me Liberty!Not all revolutionaries were guys in curly wigs and knee breeches. Some were the ones who knew that even though the war with England was over, the battle for women's rights still had to be fought. Susan B. Anthony was one of those trailblazers who knew that there would be no true liberty until women were given the same level of respect, the same opportunites for work, and the same right to join in cultural and political adventures as men.

All you need is a comfortable pair of shoes. Your fearless campaigning will have you on your feet a lot! Who Run the World? They might have lived a few generations apart, but we think that Susan and Beyonce would have gotten along great! Honor an amazing civil rights activist with an equally amazing costume.
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.

Got Moxie?It takes a lot of moxie to run a saloon in the Wild West. If those old spaghetti western movies have taught us anything, it’s that you never know what kind of character is going to walk through the door to order a drink. Will it be dashing, heroic cowboy, or will it be some kind of villainous thug that needs to be taught a lesson? If you plan on owning the saloon, then you’d better know how to deal with both kinds of characters and you’d definitely better be dressed for success in the old west!

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
Perks of the Paleolithic Period This century has great things like squeezable apple juice pouches and kids' TV shows, but the Stone Age was pretty great too. Sure, there were sabertooth tigers roaming around, but there were also mastodons to ride (if you were very careful) and endless places to explore. No one made you eat Brussels sprouts or brush your teeth, since toothbrushes weren't even invented yet. Neither was handwashing. And it was encouraged to draw on the walls! It was a good time to be a toddler.Product DetailsEnjoy the feeling of being one of the first human beings on the planet when you wear this exclusive Prehistoric Cave Girl Toddler Costume! The step-in romper is made of minky fabric that's printed with a leopard spot pattern. It's one-shouldered neckline is made of brown velour, and its jagged edging matches the skirt's jagged hemline. A twisted lip cord can be tied around the romper's waist as desired. The faux suede leg warmers and arm gauntlets are easy to slip on. A fiber-filled felt bone is attached to a metal hair clip so that it can be pinned to a hairdo.Hunt and GatherDo you have what it takes to survive in the Paleolithic Period? Let's do a simple test. Are you so dedicated to tracking down the best food for their clan that you will hunt for hours in the evening twilight despite meeting all kinds of strange creatures? Can you find the most delicious chocolate bars and the most mouthwatering fruit chews? Ok, the cave people wouldn't be eating these things, but the concept is the same. Congratulations, you are a feisty cave girl!
The prehistoric bone club was only wielded by the mightiest of Neanderthals; the ones who were strong enough to hunt a menacing dinosaur with a sturdy bone structure. If you're planning on being king of the cave and have your leopard tunic already, adding the mighty bone club to your ensemble is a must.During the dawn of man only the strong survived, and the famed dinosaur club was sure to assert your dominance. Plus, the bone is picked clean. An appetite like that can only come from someone who's worked for it! But know, that great power comes with great responsibility.So, what exactly is this bone from? It kind of looks like a shin bone from a poorly drawn Apatosaurus. Or maybe a femur from an oddly-shaped sabre tooth tiger? Not sure. Wherever you want to pretend you found it, works for us.
She Knew She Could, So She Did! In every age, there has to be someone who decides to be the voice for the voiceless - who takes pride in making waves! Susan B. Anthony was a real firecracker who knew that the only way to make change happen was to start it herself. And look at her legacy: Generations of women who were encouraged to speak up and stand out thanks to her efforts. Would we have a Dorothy Day, a Nellie Bly, a Margaret Thatcher or a Ruth Bader Ginsburg without her? She was not afraid of bad press, threats, and even jail time.

Product DetailsStand out and be heard in a costume that honors the heroine who helped get voting rights for women! This exclusive Girls Susan B. Anthony Costume is a powerful choice for Halloween, pageants, school events, historical reenactment, and more (plus, unlike Susan's original look, you don't have to wear a corset under it - comfort points!)

White lace lines the cuffs of the long sleeves to complement the white ruffle down the front of the bodice. Black lace also decorates the shoulders on top of the leg o' mutton-style puffs. A decorative silver-toned pendant is sewn to the collar. "Failure Is Impossible!" Susan B. Anthony said this herself about her mission, because she knew the power of women working together! We have to agree, and take it a step farther by saying that having a so-so costume is impossible when you're wearing this outfit!
