Flying High Once upon a time, the skies were empty of all but bird travelers. Horse-drawn buggies or huge sailing ships were the only way to get where you wanted to go. But then a pair of brothers with funny mustaches proved that people really could learn to fly, and then it was almost ineviatable that a plucky lady with plenty of courage and a love for the wide-open sky showed that women could fly just as well as men. She paved the way for many more to come! Product DetailsBreak boundaries and make your mark on aviation forever when you wear your exclusive Girl's Deluxe Amelia Earhart Toddler Costume! The brown faux leather top zips up the front and is designed to look like a vintage jacket, complete with a sherpa collar, a matching belt with a slide buckle, and embroidered patches. The beige twill pants have a comfortable elastic waistabnd and tuck snugly into your favorite boots. Tie the chiffon scarf as desired and stretch the plastic goggles around the outside of your faux suede pilot hat. You're clear for takeoff! Case ClosedThe fate of the real Amelia Earheart is still shrouded in mystery to this day. Did she parachute out over the Pacific? Did she land on an island and enjoy a castaway lifestyle full of coconuts and warm, tropical waters? Your little Earhart's journey, however, is no mystery: She'll collect lots of candy, have plenty of fun with friends, and look forward to the day when she can sit in the pilot's seat of her very own airplane.
We like to follow the theory that the Victorian Industrial Revolution somehow split off into two different worlds.

Every once in a while we decide to dress up like we were there (usually on Wednesdays). Now we'd like to expand the tradition.

A good pair of footwear will make or break a costume. Would you take Robin Hood seriously if he were wearing sneakers? No. How about Darth Vader in flip-flops? Definitely not. The footwear should match the outfit. Also consider if your child went to costume parties or the Renaissance Festival. They'll need decent foot wear for traversing the gravel paths, muddy corners, and grassy hills. A decent pair of shoes that look the part are necessary.So when the feet of your child are at stake, look no further than our Child Renaissance Boots. Made of faux suede, they reach about mid-calf and have decorative adjustable straps. Your child's costume will look much more authentic if he/she is wearing something like these Child Renaissance Boots. And they'll probably even feel like a rouge-ish hero too!
Hero of the EmpireThe Roman army is the greatest force in the known world. Its battle prowess is legendary from the heights of Cornwall all the way down to the Nile River. But it's the individual soldier to whom the empire owes its incredible success! He's brave and bold, and looks incredibly awesome in his regulation helmet. Product DetailsBecome Caesar's bravest warrior while wearing this exclusive Roman Soldier Plush Helmet for Kids! The unisex accessory is made of shiny, metallic gold material that's sewn in the shape of a historic Roman helmet. Impressive red plumes are attached to the helmet's crest.

The spoils of war go to the fearless trick-or-treaters who brave creepy decorations and fake gravestones to fill their travel sacks with delicious candy. If the Romans could have tried chocolate bars, they would probably still be in power today.
Longhouse LifestyleIt's dinner time in the longhouse. The longhouse is lit with a central fire. There are long fur-lined benches along the sides of the thick turf walls. Lamps fueled with cod liver oil and cottongrass also add extra light to the family dinner.

When you dress your little one in this fur-accented costume, you can be sure he'll look right at home sipping from a bowl in a long-house. Who knows what other Viking skills he'll pick up.

King of the Wild FrontierAre you ready to head into the wild west? As long as you steer clear of the most dangerous and unpredictable beasts in this unchartered region, you should be fine. What's that beast? Mankind of course! They're a tricky kind of animal. The other animals are easier to get along with. Lions, tigers, bears... Davey had it all under control. Fighting a cougar is no problem at all. No tricks, no deceptions. Give him a penknife and cougars better beware! Davey even killed a bear when he was three. Sad, but we're sure the bear deserved it. It probably stole one too many picnic baskets. Those were a valuable asset back in the day! And sure, if you really push him he'll deal with the most dangerous animal out there.

No wonder he was crowned king of the wild frontier, this man's got skills!Product Details & DesignEmbrace the old West with this wild Made by Us costume.

What a Novel IdeaSmall talk can be so boring. What's the weather been up to? How's work? Do you think that paint that we're watching on the wall is dry yet? It's time we went back to a time when making conversation was an art. A time when you couldn't quite come out with your true opinions but you could certainly waltz around any subject you liked for an hour or two in the drawing room. A time when Jane Austen was a master at crafting stories around human interactions!Details & Design Want to look right at home strolling through an English garden while contemplating a new composition for your novel? Our exclusive Jane Austen costume will make you feel like a 19th century novelist in an instant. This costume includes a long dress cinched with a pink ribbon at the waist. It has a square neckline and a sheer sleeve. It can be worn with or without the cropped jacket with its gorgeous puffed sleeves with pleats and buttons down the front. The whole ensemble is topped with a beautiful blue bonnet that's accented with a thick shiny ribbon that fastens in a bow under the chin, we'll call that Jane's thinking cap. Ladies and GentlemenThe 19th century was a time of Pride & Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and so many other novels with perfectly quotable moments. And don't get us wrong, we know that Jane broke the mold chapter by chapter. Being an author wasn't an extremely ladylike profession. In fact, no profession was ladylike. But at the same time, she brought the lady's lifestyle into open air for common people to read. In fact, thanks to her gentle turn of phrase, we can still imagine that ladylike lifestyle when we curl up with one of Miss Austen's legendary books. It's time to get your quote on with a costume that pays tribute to Jane Austen's lovely wit.

We can only imagine what the world would be like if steam power had turned out to be the last word in transportation and energy production. Which is good, because we really want to believe it would be just like all those steampunk novels we've read, in which a cunning heroine uses her engineering skills and mechanical-mindedness to create a clever new invention that saves the world from certain doom. Come to think of it, that's a pretty specific vision for the way things might have someday been. But at least it sounds stylish and full of adventure, even in the present day! Of course, real-life technology has been drifting away from smokestacks, paddle wheels, gears, and sprockets for some time, now. So to truly live the dream of an intrepid tinkerer, a girl is going to need a top-of-the-line time machine, and possibly an advanced degree in applied science.

Once she's all suited up, we're sure she'll feel more than ready to put her skills to the test!
Is your child a historian in training? How many civil war generals can he name? Has he begged you to go to the famous civil war sites like Gettysburg and Antietam? Have you ever considered enrolling him in Civil War reenactment? There is a lot of pride in remembering the brutal Civil War of 1861-1865. The people who fought so hard to keep our country together and emancipate the enslaved population should always be remembered. Brainy kids tend to be interested in the Civil War. Anything can start a fascination with this complicated part in history. Maybe your child saw or read a version of The Red Badge of Courage. Maybe it started with a love of Abraham Lincoln and expanded from there, it happens to a lot of people. One day you're trying on a top hat and beard, learning the Gettysburg address. The next day you want to know where Gettysburg is, what happened there, and why. Once your kid has an interest, how do you support him? This costume would work great to dress up for speech as Officer James Thomas kirk if your child has a school project. The double breasted button jacket and striped pant would help your child feel in character at a civil war reenactment, either as a drummer boy or a soldier. Just choose the hat that goes with the rank your child wants to assume. Maybe your kid has visions of a dignified Halloween costume or a special outfit for the 4th of July parade planned. Whatever this uniform is for, your history enthusiast is sure to make our boys in blue proud.
Back in the day, taverns weren't just cozy bars with quaint names, they were rough and tumble places! And that's why every tavern needed a fair maiden. She'd be there not only to sweep up the filth-strewn straw and collect the silver for the drinks but to add an air of civility to the atmosphere. She'd encourage people to sing a distracting ditty before two burly knights could challenge one another to a duel over who got to sit on the stool with four legs. She'd usher the local well-loved outlaw out the back door just as the Sherrif sauntered in. This is all to say, the simple tavern maiden is the Meddeival diplomat!You'll look the part when you're wearing this sassy costume. Perfect for plays, Rennaissance fairs, and costume parties alike, this costume is the perfect balance of sweet and salty! The skirt has two layers with an olive green and maroon striped underlayer and a fresh green overskirt that hits at mid leg. The included black belt can cinch up your skirt for easy manuvering.

Whether you're serving nobles and peasants, we're sure that they'll appreciate your perfect pours. Par this look with a beer stein and wig to make your transformation complete. You'll be glad you outfitted yourself with this classic look at the Renaissance festival or for your next costumed event. Just remember, you're an essential part of the tavern experience!
These Old World Sandals look like something that your grandpa's grandpa would have worn. Back in the day, Socrates would walk the streets of Athens wearing something like these. But, we’re not sure you’ve heard: old-school is IN. Young people all over Brooklyn want to wear what your grandpa’s grandpa wore. If Noah used to kick back on the ark wearing a pair of these on those particularly hot days on the ocean, then that’s what you’ll see in Williamsburg on a hot day. It’s called being a hipster. Unless, you also may need these sandals to complete your Halloween look. Then it’s called smart shopping. Either way, we’re not judging. Pick up this strappy pair to accompany your toga to Greenpoint on Halloween eve, then wear them to brunch in Park Slope all summer long!

Life as a wandering warlord is tough. You have to be away from home a lot as you pillage and plunder across the continent. The group of ruthless mercenaries you lead can be a handful. The hours are long and the pay is never consistent. Enemies are always trying to assassinate you, while you also have to keep an eye on any ambitious employees who might want to give themselves a promotion at your expense. Sometimes, you wonder if it’s all worth it.But then you remember—the cape.The cape makes all the worry and discomfort and fighting and danger worth it. There aren’t a lot of jobs that let you wear a super cool cape, and being a warlord is one of them. Every time you put it on, you feel rugged, commanding and invincible.

Anyone who sees this cape will know you’re nobody to mess with—and you’ll feel pretty awesome swirling it dramatically. That’s worth a little work-related stress.
Wealth Redistribution, but Make It CoolLook, it's really the fault of Prince John and his Sheriff of Nottingham. Besides raising taxes far too high, they also use the worst possible means of money transfer. Anyone who sees those huge coaches filled with gold rolling through Sherwood Forest is bound to feel like swiping some.

Have they allowed us access to their sacred residence?

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.
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

A hat, suspenders, bandana, and a beard. He just needs his own everyday clothes to complete the look, a plaid shirt and pair of blue jeans looks great!

Product DetailsUncle Sam must have never been told that pointing is rude. Then again, he does it with such dignity maybe it's not offensive when it comes from him! That little smirk that accompanies is enough to make us dash off to the nearest military recruitment office!

Not many people have the bravery to take a soul patch to a whole new level, with hair sprouting from the chin and only the chin. Now, we know that few people can grow hair as luxurious as Uncle Sam's. Even fewer people have such a clean, white head of hair. We're here to help you gain the famous Uncle Sam look. Whether you're recruiting people to your pogo stick club or you're in a Fourth of July parade, you'll look dignified and persuasive in this white wig and fresh stick-on beard. We want you. . . to rock this look!
But wherefore do not you a mightier wayMake war upon this bloody tyrant, Time?And fortify your self in your decayWith means more blessed than my barren rhyme?- William ShakespeareWe all want to be remembered for something. But that tyrant Time works constantly to erase the memory of our work and deeds. We remember only a large handful of people from the last few centuries, while we remember the names of only a spare few a thousand years prior. That sucks, doesn't it?We don't mean to inspire in you any sort of existential dread. We only mean to inspire you to action! Like role-playing the part of one of the most prominent people and minds in the short history of the United States. A top, ever-influential diplomat, a sharp-witted writer and biographer, a dizzyingly productive inventor—Benjamin Franklin has so far fought that tyrant Time with valiance. (Not only did he invent the lightning rod and bifocals, but he also facilitated fire departments, libraries, newspapers, and universities!What better way to forge your own timeless path than stepping into the coveted shoes of someone so accomplished? Now you can become Benjamin Franklin's doppelganger with this Adult Benjamin Franklin Costume. This costume is great for historical plays—or anything, really. The first time you wear it, ask if anyone has seen your ID in their wallet—and if you walk away $100 richer, let us know it worked.
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! It starts with a bright red, plus size tunic that has printed gold foil patterning along the sleeves. The toga is a cream color and fits over one shoulder for a classic style. The belt is made out of rope and fits around your waist to adjust the fit. To finish the whole look off, the costume comes with a leaf crown that fits with an elastic band around the forehead. It all combines for look that's worthy of a modern-day Caesar!Watch Your BackIf you're looking for a classic look, or if you just want to take your toga party style to the next level, then this men's Plus Size Roman Toga is perfect for you. You might want to add one of our Roman swords to your outfit though... word on the street is that Julius Caesar has made a TON of enemies.
If Vogue existed in the 1770s, Marie Antoinette would probably be the editor. Sure she helped incite a rebellion that completely turned French aristocracy on its head, but you can't deny that the woman could dress! That just goes to show you that it pays to be different from the rest. Our motto is "let 'em all eat cake!" Because you know, who doesn't love cake? Then someone told us that Marie Antoinette said that first and it caused an uproar. If she did indeed say that then she was a pretty smart lady! Again, who doesn't love cake? So get out there and devour as much cake as you please, but do it in our Deluxe Marie Antoinette Wig.
Whatever you like most about the steampunk genre, you can always be sure you'll look unique! We may not always know what those spring-loaded gadgets and gear-covered gizmos that show up in steampunk stories are supposed to do, but that old fashioned sense of style gets our imaginations running wild. Gear up in this chic Victorian Steampunk Costume, and you'll look ready for your own steampunk adventure!Whenever we think of steampunk, we always picture a world full of massive zeppelins, glittering brass covered skyscrapers, and dashingly dressed heroes fighting off evil doers in thrilling, white knuckle air battles.

Victorian style is classy and sophisticated enough on its own, but when your mix it with the flash and functionality of steampunk, you've got yourself a sexy retro look that will really make you stand out!This glamorous ensemble is part vintage, part industrial fashion, and all steampunk! The corset style top features strap-like details, rather than the laces you'd expect to find on a traditional corset, and an attached velvet collar with matching puffy shouldered sleeves. The matching leggings and skirt add a sassy mixture of old world and modern feminine fashions, while also letting you show off whichever boots you add to this look. Whatever you like most about this costume, you'll look good no matter where your adventure takes you!
Toga party!!! It's something they've shouted throughout history, from Ancient Rome (where every day was a toga party) to modern frat houses in the good old U.S. of A. Whatever time period you're into... and whether you're plotting the downfall of Julius Caesar, or just celebrating the end of the semester in classic college style... our Plus Size Men's Toga is a timeless way to dress for the occasion!The applications are pretty much limitless with this costume, and so are the personas that you can take on. Greek philosopher? Plato, Aristotle, Socrates--they all totally wore togas. Roman citizen? Togas are what they dressed up in to visit the coliseum... and pretty much everywhere else. College party animal? Yep, you guessed it. No self-respecting frat boy in the 50s and 60s partied without one of these fine tunics (trust us, we've watched a lot of movies). And let's not forget the space cults Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock ran into in basically every other episode of the original Star Trek. All of them rocked the toga like it never went out of style (and if you ask us, it didn't). It may be one of the most versatile forms of dress (and costume) that ever existed.So whatever the occasion... Halloween, campus bash, a vote in the Roman senate, space cult meeting... the toga is a great choice, not only for its wearability and style, but also for its historical street cred. Made by us, the plus size men's toga is a costume for all seasons!
Beyond CaptainWhy settle for captain? When people talk about colonial age pirate costumes, everyone always talks about being a captain. That's great and all, but why not shoot for higher? There are higher ranks than captain, so maybe it's time to aim for admiral! After all, an admiral gets to command a whole fleet of ships instead of just one.Well, you know what they always say! You need to dress for the job you want, not the job that you have right now. So, if you want to be the admiral of a fleet of ships, then you need to get yourself a snazzy admiral's hat. That's where this Admiral Bicorn Hat comes into play. It has a classic look that will have you ready to command!Product DetailsThis adult bicorn hat recreates the iconic style worn by admirals during the colonial period. It has gold accents and a red and blue emblem on the side of the hat. Just place it on your head and you'll be ready to command your fleet into battle! The hat also looks great with a variety of our historical costumes, so be sure to check them out to craft the perfect look!
The KingSo we all know of King Henry VIII, yes? The ruler of England during the 1500s who had six wives? Of course, we do.He was a man who loved food and drink. He was fond of the hunt, and (supposedly) pretty good-looking. Sure, he was educated and yes, he had a way with the ladies (we need not even mention his sumptuous colorful clothes), but let's not forget the most important part, shall we? He was King of England. We're talking power here. Power to execute people who got in his way, re-work England's constitution, and of course, start up a new church with himself as the head when he didn't agree with the old church. Henry sure knew how to get his way.Design & DetailsSo if you want to dress up as a powerful ruler, our King Henry VIII Costume is definitely the way to go. The doublet is made of tapestry fabric with gold braided trim on the body and sleeves. There's a bronze medallion on a 30" chain to hang around your noble neck. Just add some fancy boots and maybe a crown (also that white shirt which is sold separately) and you'll be one posh ruler. Just remember you aren't actually King Henry VIII. So don't try bossing people around like you're the king of England, because that probably won't go so well.
Go West!Remember what it felt like to learn about the frontier? If you're anything like us, you learned to shop for supplies, hunt, fjord a river, and recover from dysentery (when lucky) from playing your favorite game. And now that your girl is learning all about trail life and the western frontier, it's a perfect time to share it with her!She'll love shopping for oxen, hunting deer and bison, and fixing wagon axels in this Early American Girl Costume. She'll get to connect to a part of American history she loves to learn about, and you'll get to connect with her over a mutual fear of snakebites. Whether she wears this dress for a school play or she goes really old school for Halloween, this classic costume takes her back to a time when life was hard but adventurous, and you never knew what tomorrow would bring on the trail! Product DetailsOK, OK, we'll tell you all about this costume! Don't get a bee in your bonnet. This is a pretty pink dress cut in the style of the time, with slightly puffed sleeves and ruffle detailing. The apron is necessary for all the cooking and cleaning she'll be helping with on the move, and the matching pink ruffled bonnet will keep the sun out of her eyes and the bugs from her ears. Make sure she's got a sturdy pair of shoes and that she's not afraid of a little hard work! It's what this costume calls for. Stock Up NowIt's always a balance deciding how many supplies to bring at the beginning of the journey. One thing we've learned, stock up early. Maybe get two sets of these classic clothes, just in case one gets lost, or the wagon overturns, or a pack of wild dogs attacks your stores at night...like we said, you never know what will happen out here. Have fun going on this adventure again with your girl!
THE LEGEND OF AUTUMNThe story begins in a mountain village. She might have grown up to be a normal citizen. She had aspirations for stories and legends. She spent all her time reading books, imagining the adventures, and even writing a few of them, herself. But, just like the stories she loved, the call of the hero came. The world was in danger and she had to stand up and wield a blade of light to defend the helpless against a shadowy darkness: Crystalfire, the dragon!She knew from the tales what needed to happen. She would need to train and get ready for a fight. There would need to be a little bit of magic at work, but she was bright and knew that she'd figure that out. What a surprise that dragon was going to have. But, she needed to keep that magic a secret. So, she came up with the greatest trick of all. She would have to find the right armor, too. Who would expect an armored knight who could also wield magic!? DESIGN & DETAILSOur legendary smiths have been in awe of your little one for generations, just waiting for the time that she'd need this exclusive Medieval Warrior Costume. And, now it is time! Your little knight will feel powerful in this rich, blue, long-sleeved velvet dress and its black lace detailing along the hem. Accented by a dark underlayer and silver ribbon, this is a look of majestic nobility... but it gets even better thanks to the silver, foam-backed armor plates around the shoulder, torso, and fitted as gloves! TIME TO FINISH THE TALEWe all know how the tale of the mightiest medieval warrior of all time began, but we're just dying to hear how it ends! Help your mighty warrior create their own story and watch it unfold when they are geared up in this high-quality noble warrior look. (And, don't worry: if you get too jealous of the fun, we've got something for you, too!)
If a man was a Viking, he was tough by definition. Violence was normal, he was most comfortable when forming a shield wall with his tribe. For Vikings, the world was a brutal place. The icy winds of the sea would have been whistling in the ears of the Norsemen since they were babes in the arms of their equally tough mothers. They were handling battle axes as soon as they could tottle around. With that harsh environment, it's no wonder they grew all the hair they could to protect them from the multitude of unforgiving elements, from the cold weather of the Norwegian seaside to the flying debris of the battlefield. You can't transform yourself into a Viking warrior if you ignore the epic long hair and beards of these northerners. The red locks of this wig are typical of people with Norse heritage. All you need now is one of those horned helmets and you're ready for battle. Now, shout it out with your fellow Norsemen, "Shield Wall!"
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!
Prehistoric FashionistaWho says living in a cave means you don't know anything about style?! In our experience, cave-dwelling fashionistas are actually a little ahead of the curve, since they can get their hands on pretty exotic furs and do some snazzy things with bones and claws and all that good stuff. Your little one will have a blast from the past (the extreme past) dressing up in this Cave Girl Cutie Costume for her prehistoric Halloween shenanigans!Being a Stone Age girl is far from easy, especially during woolly mammoth migration season, or when it's time to trim your pet saber tooth tiger's claws. And it's not as if you can just hit a drive-thru whenever you're craving a breakfast burrito. You totally have to sneak into a dinosaur nest and snag some eggs first, and that's assuming you also have all the other ingredients and a fire to cook them on. To us, that alone almost makes being a cave girl sound terrible, but then we see chic Neolithic outfits like this woolly dress, and we're back on board!Product DetailsThis cute costume comes with everything she needs to transform into a really cool cave kid. The leopard print dress features jagged hemlines to look she made it with her bare hands, and it looks awesome with the faux fur vest and matching boot tops. The bony hair bow tops off this wild, very vintage style, and will show everyone how cave kids know a thing or two about looking cool!Cave Girl CostumeBefore there was social media, texting, and long before there was Facetime, there was the stone age. Even though they couldn't instantly connect with friends and know what's happening around the world at any given moment, we think that the cave people knew a few things about fashion that we can still use to this day. This Cave Girl costume proves just that!

A New QueenHear ye! Hear ye! There’s a royal announcement on the way!Princess? That was so five minutes ago! Your little girl has been getting kind of restless with her minor royal role in the kingdom and lately, she’s been demanding to be queen. Well, now that it’s Halloween and theme party season, it’s the perfect time to give her that promotion she deserves: from princess to full-on Renaissance Queen.Of course, now that she’s queen, her wardrobe will have to be upgraded in a big way. And this Girls Renaissance Queen Costume is luxurious and rich enough to befit the most powerful of monarchs. All the fair maidens will be envious of her fortune when she steps out to greet her subjects along the trick or treat route.Product DetailsThe light blue velvet shimmers in the light and the long outer sleeves drape elegantly when she raises her hands to rule (and reach for the treats). All the royal jewels appear on this costume, like strands of pearls draped at the gown’s neckline and faux gems on the gold brooches holding them in place. The dress collar stands up just like a fine Renaissance Queen’s should, and it’s covered in pleated netting like a ruff. Gold diamonds are printed on the off white skirt inset. And then there’s her crown – literally the crowning glory of her dress and her reign. It’s gleaming gold plastic and is covered in faux diamonds and will inspire all of her royal subjects to cry out, “All hail little queen!”
Not Me. Us.Now is the time to think big, not small — that means ensuring that at every costume party around the country, together, we are maintaining a standard of living for our fellow party-goers. That means ensuring folks contribute their fair share to the pot luck; that means cracking down on the Jim Halperts of the world, who have for too long hid behind loopholes in the costume code and brought mere vending machine fare to the snack table; that means, finally, sharing with our fellow workers an honest accounting of our wages and benefits, so all our brothers and sisters at the costume party are afforded a reasonable standard of living!Design & DetailsThis is a pivotal moment. So let's be clear: this officially licensed Bernie Sanders mask can help you rally your fellow workers out of complacency, and together, we can build a better future for us, our children, and our grandchildren. Officially licensed (the Bernie stamp of approval, essentially), this mask may not change the world on its own, but it could inspire you or your colleagues to change it. So we're reminded of that classic Bernie-ism: "Not me. Us." Solidarity. We know — what a concept!
LITTLE SISTER GOES BIGTIMEThe myth of the Gorgons goes largely unknown by many, despite the fact that just about everyone has heard of Medusa. Did you know that Medusa is just one sister among a trio? She's the youngest gal of the three serpent-haired and cursed aquatic sisters who could turn mortals to stone with just a gaze. While Stheno and Euryale might have been immortal, it was only Medusa that made the history books! Talk about a little sister with things to do. Unfortunately, the youngest Gorgon sister doesn't have much happiness to her tale. Cursed by Athena for no good reason, Medusa became a horrible monster that everyone feared... at least until another demigod showed up with a whole bunch of blessed divine artifacts and beheaded her! Of course, we're talking about a time of magic and mystery. And now is the time to rewrite some of that story! DESIGN & DETAILSDespite it being really tough to create a design based off a gal that is impossible to look at, our designers have worked a miracle and created this legendary look. Our exclusive Deluxe Medusa Costume is 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. Pick up a serpent wig or detailed bow and take your revenge on Perseus and Athena! A PETRIFYING POSEWhen 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 Medusa Costume.
Temporal DaydreamsDo you ever think about time travel? We do. We probably spend WAY more time thinking about that sort of thing than we should. Maybe we read too many adventure books about the subject. You know the type. A seemingly average woman gets swept through time to a few hundred years in the past. She must figure out a way to travel back to her time, all while getting wrapped up in political intrigue and colonial adventures with her new friends from the past. She might even strike up a romance with some dashing figure from the past... it sounds so exhilarating!Of course, that never happens in real life. Or at least, we've never heard of it happening, but we like to pretend. It's part of the whole reason we got into the costuming gig. Costumes let you embark upon some pretty marvelous journeys. Through the power of costume, you can create a little time-jumping adventure of your own, even if you're just roleplaying the whole thing. Who knows! When you put on this Colonial Village Woman Costume, you might just get sucked into some Jamestown drama!Product DetailsThis historical costume is a plus size outfit that recreates the look of the colonial days. It comes with a simple brown dress that you can wear as you walk through the village. The off-white apron around the waist will have you ready to tend to your daily chores, while the shawl around the shoulders puts the finishing touch to the outfit. The costume also comes with a cap that fits around your head with an elastic band.Make Your Own Historical StoryWhether you long for a historical story of your own or you just want to reenact the early colonial American days, this Colonial Village Woman Costume will help you get into character.
THAT 'JUST WOKE UP' LOOKIt can be pretty tough to manufacture a carefree hairstyle. You've got to wake up pretty early to get the right tease to the hair. Just enough curl and frizz but not so much that folks can see the effort that you've put into it. So, when you want to go for a look that's really early, there's even more work that's going to happen. That's especially true if you want to go authentic and only use tools that were available in the stone age. Where is that time machine!? DESIGN & DETAILSYou won't have to worry about jumping through time portals or smashing your hair with rocks when you have this Prehistoric Caveman Beard and Wig accessory. We've done all the work for you to make sure that your locks are incredibly full, curly, and tangled as all get-out. The beard matches and attaches with adhesive and an elastic band. ANCIENT BEDHEADMake sure that you look like you've been napping for a really long time with this wig and beard kit. It's perfect for your prehistoric look but also great for your frazzled wizard, bear-wrestling woods-dweller, or for when Rip Van Winkle finally decides to finish up that 100-year nap!
There are a bunch of perks to being the very first of anything, especially the first president. Sure, you don't have a previous president to blame stuff on, but it also means you are totally allowed to make stuff up as you go. Step into the shoes of the guy who literally wrote the book on being the US president with this George Washington Costume, and add some patriotic authority to your day! Every American knows who George Washington is (at least as the "dollar bill guy"), but it's impossible for us to know what he was actually thinking when he became the country's very first president. He managed to make it work, but what kinds of things could he have done during his presidency that would have made the government a lot stranger? Could he have issued an executive order that all disputes in Congress were to be resolved by a potato sack race? Or, that the president got to wear a superhero style cape as part of their official uniform? It sounds weird, but compared to some real parts of the government, not that weird. No need to worry about looking weird, though, because when you're dressed in this presidential outfit, you're the boss (as long as you also get a majority vote from the costumed electoral college). The overcoat, vest, and matching trousers are a fine example of 18th Century style, and be sure to add a powdered wig to complete this Founding Fatherly look. Whether you're wearing it for a historical reenactment or play, or just having some patriotic costumed fun, you'll look truly revolutionary!
Do you ever put down your history book and just role your eyes. All those books talk about is the remarkable achievements of men. While Marcus Aurelius and Augustus have plenty of words of wisdom attributed to them they most likely had someone write their speeches for them like the politicians of today. The woman of the era might not have had their words written on parchment but we know they were the ones holding the chariot reigns. We're sure glad women are allowed to speak in the senate these days, it wasn't allowed in Rome except once, when a lady named Hortensia made a speech to lower taxes for Rome's richest women. Imagine if we taxed women and men differently these days! While men were taking baths, having toga parties, and watching people wrestle, the ladies were raising the future emperors, holding the purse strings, and whispering into the ears of politicians to make their vision of the country they wanted to live in a reality. For people that weren't allowed to speak publicly, vote, or even own their last names these ladies ruled pretty hard. Do you want to make your way up the social ladder of Roman society? No? We get it, it's a real pain and pretty fatal actually, definitely not worth it in today's society. Well, whether you're dressing up for Halloween or showing Bacchus's buddies who's boss at that toga party, this ensemble will give you that regal look you're going for. The floor length off-white skirt and black sparkly top would make any Roman noble proud. With the show-stopping purple cape attached to golden wrist cuffs you'll have the authority to put that golden-sandaled foot down, no more will the ladies of the toga party be taxed for those oily men wrestling in the back yard! Who invited those guys anyway?
It's Hero Time! "Hail, Caesar! We, about to die, salute thee!" Whoa, depressing much? Not really. Those gladiators were just covering their bases. Obviously they planned to defeat their enemies, impress the crowds, become a mighty hero and all that jazz, but...their opponents were usually huge tigers who hadn't been fed in a week and were starting to think that a nice, muscle-bound gladiator might be a tasty snack. Or a huge criminal who had been promised his freedom if he could bash in enough gladiator heads. So, just in case, the gladiators made sure to salute the throne like it was the last thing they'd ever do. Fortunately for you, you've got the right equipment and skills - you'll be a hero for sure! Product DetailsEmerge victorious from an epic struggle and become Caesar's champion with these Studded Gladiator Cuffs for Men! These molded cuffs are embellished with a cool spike design and will keep your wrists safe from the swords and spears of your opponents (imaginary, of course). The Mightiest FighterBefore there was the WWE, there were gladiators! Suit up as an ancient warrior and complete an amazing costume with these awesome cuffs.
If you're into steampunk fiction and art, why not fully embrace the fashion style as well? There are actually two amazing things about this steampunk look and they both involve travel of one kind or another, and we think you’ll love them both!First, if you're all about living in the post-apocalyptic future, then this costume will instantly transport you into your fantasy world. Second, after Halloween is over, you can finally hop that flight to New Zealand and trek down to Oamaru, or the “Steampunk capital of the world” (yes, really!)! Time travel and world travel, all in one costume? Count us in! In fact, we may have to get one of these Women’s Steampunk Costumes for ourselves and join you! This cool and unique costume combines Victorian era elements and the Wild West to create a one-of-a-kind outfit that will look lovely at the Oamaru steampunk festival or your neighborhood Halloween party! Pick up a pair of steampunk goggles as a fun accessory to pair with this blouse and tiered skirt. This outfit comes with a built in lace petticoat and even has a faux suede corset with cord lacing and metal buckles. You’ll need to pack your own steampunk-appropriate footwear, and make sure your shoes have good traction--there’s a nifty steampunk-themed playground in Oamaru and you’ll want to be able to climb the post-apocalyptic mechanical elephant (Yep. Really).
Nabbing a bunch of snakes to wear on your head might not be the wisest of ideas. We here at the HalloweenCostumes.com offices understand that the materials to make an authentic costume or accessory aren't always readily accessible. Right? I mean, if you have a dozen red-eyed snakes, a bunch of glue, and a cap to stick them onto, you can probably make this happen... But we won't hold our breath. As a matter of fact, you shouldn't even if you do.No worries, though! We've got you covered with this Medusa Wig. The best part is you won't have to worry about them biting! The second best thing? These synthetic red-and-black fibers, twisted into dreadlocks, are much more comfortable and much less slimy than the real thing. The third best thing? Everything else about it, of course.
