Home on the RangeThe pioneer days were definitely something to behold. While living conditions weren’t exactly great by today’s standards, the world was their oyster – everything was new and exciting. The possibilities were endless. With so much wide open space, it’s no wonder that the imaginations of those who lived during that time gave us some of the great ideas and tools necessary to improve technology and take us even further into the undiscovered territories of the Americas. Girls on the pioneer trail also contributed greatly to the world we now know.Life on the prairies of the Old West could be hard. But one consolation was that girls got to wear clothes like this Child Pioneer Girl Costume. This might have been an everyday school dress for a pioneer girl or it may have been something fancier, depending upon the social class of the girl’s family. Either way, this authentic-looking pioneer girl dress is perfect for a number of events including Halloween, school plays, and reenactments.Product DetailsThe costume for girls comes with a simple dress that fastens with Hook and Loop fastener at the back of the neck and features an apron that ties at the waist. The sleeves of the dress have shoulder ruffles as well as elastic and eyelet edging at the cuffs for added detail. No young pioneer girl outfit would be complete without a bonnet, so this costume also comes with a traditional bonnet that has a foam brim with eyelet edging with elastic at the back and an under-chin tie for comfort.Pioneer Her Look!This costume will have everyone yearning for yesteryear! Its pioneer look not only hearkens back to the Oregon Trail days, making it the perfect outfit for your girl to wear during plays, reenactments, or just as a fun historical costume for Halloween.
BITESIZE ANCIENT HISTORYWe can hear you, already. "Not another history lesson!?" Well, just wait! Don't run off. This is going to be a quick and easy one that we're sure you're going to love! (And, you can't run, anyway. We've latched the doors and set up all sorts of ingenious traps to keep you around.) See, the thing about history is that there's just so much of it. It gets too huge to handle. That's why we're going to break up the history of all time into little, easy-to-handle chunks!There's something about little versions of things that are somehow super cute, too. Take the real-life "boy king" of Egypt. Tutankhamun was only nine when he took over an entire dynasty and even managed to keep the title until he grew up! It was pretty commonplace that folks would worship the Pharaohs after they were gone, but ancient Egyptians were loving King Tut while he was alive. Obviously, that's because they couldn't contain the adorable "awwws!" DESIGN & DETAILSBring the legend to life and make history once again when you transform your tot into Tut with this exclusive Egyptian Pharaoh Costume. Our team of designers moonlighted as archeologists for months to put together this high-quality look of dark black and gleaming gold. The short-sleeve tunic falls beyond the knee and matches the inner lining of the gold and black-striped headpiece. Shiny black fabric makes up the collar, cuffs, and the belt, though it is the hieroglyphics printed on the belt that really sell the look! THE YOUNGEST PHARAOH YET!King Tut made ancient fame for having the nicest pyramid to date and being the youngest kiddo to rule. But, time for the crown to pass to an even younger generation with your toddler! This Pharaoh Costume is bound to get way more attention than some old 18th Dynasty fuddy-duddy!
Renaissance ReadyTo be a Renaissance Man is to be ready for almost anything or at least curious about it all. Which is perhaps why you're so interested in attending a Renaissance festival or even why you've attended several already! But whichever spot you find yourself in, there's one thing for certain: your wardrobe needs to be as ready and versatile as a Renaissance Man would be!Once at the festival, you may find yourself carousing with fellow masters of none in one moment, then jousting on the back of a noble hobby horse the next. You may shoot archery at one station and try your hand at painting like Da Vinci n the next. There may even be a moment for dance and shopping. And in each instance, you'll want to look sharp and feel prepared!Design & DetailsOur exclusive Renaissance Noble Plus Size Costume is here to offer that versatility! The Made By Us ensemble starts with a combination tunic and shirt that fastens at the back with a hook-and-loop fastener. The billowy sleeves of the shirt give the top a familiar loose-fitting style that's comfortable and breezy—perfect for staying cool at bustling festivals. Meanwhile, the long tunic made of velvet and trimmed with faux fur and brocade ribbon provides a regal polish.A velvet cape can be attached to the tunic with hook-and-loop fasteners on each shoulder. With the cape secured, you're ready for a noble portrait, and with it whisked away, you'll feel light and ready to accept any thrown gauntlet. Meanwhile, a Tudor bonnet featuring a purple feather, a chain attached to the collar, and a pair of faux suede boot covers ensure the costume blends well with the fanciest of Renaissance fashion.
You always knew your little girl was a goddess, but what would you do if you found out she was an actual, mythical being? We bet it would be quite a surprise, but once you see how divine she looks in this Greek Goddess Costume, it'll suddenly make perfect sense!Back in Ancient Greece, there was a whole host of gods and goddesses that were prayed to that represented pretty much every aspect of life. If you were a farmer, you could pray to Demeter, Goddess of agriculture, for hopes of a good harvest. Or, if you were about to go on a long expedition, you might want to pray to Artemis, Goddess of the wilderness, so that your party might have good luck while travelling through forests and hills. And then there is Athena, Goddess of wisdom and reason, who's good side you always wanted to be on, because whether you were fighting a war, or just building something, you'll probably want as much wisdom and reason as you can get!This classically inspired costume is designed to look like what a majestic goddess of Ancient Greece may have worn on Mount Olympus. The ankle length sleeveless dress and matching shoulder drapes fade from a cream color to turquoise, giving it an ethereal look. She'll look like quite a goddess once she puts on the included gold braided headband, and be sure to get her a pair of matching gold sandals to complete this mythical style!
YOU MAY BOW NOWKing Tut is known for being the youngest Egyptian ruler in existence. Correction, King Tut was known for being the youngest Egyptian ruler in existence. Move over Tut, a new youngin' is rising to the top of the hierarchy and she goes by the name, Little Cleopatra. Little Cleopatra is comin' atchya, by crawling of course, and she's determined to impress the masses. She'll shake her gold-encrusted rattle to get your attention if she wants a refill of her baba and if that doesn't work, then cue the waterworks. Have you ever seen the Queen of Egypt in the middle of a temper tantrum? It's a full-on royal freak out but she's queen so she does as she pleases. From the looks of it, she probably needs a nap. Roll out the golden blankie, fit for a little Egyptian ruler, so she can get a little shut-eye because a well-rested queen is a happy one! DESIGN & DETAILSExclusively crafted in our costume studio, the toddler Queen of the Nile costume includes a sleeveless white dress with a hemline that reaches the knees. The dress is topped off with a round gold collar featuring an attached teal cape made from tulle. The golden belt with ancient hieroglyphics down the front uses a Hook and Loop fastener tab to fasten around the waist. Finally, the stretchy gold headband is included with the dress, collar with cape and belt, to complete the ensemble.QUEEN OF EVERYTHINGShe doesn't just rule the Nile, she rules over the playground, park and playroom. Add a pair of toddler-sized gladiator sandals to transition this costume from indoors to outdoors. Interested in a costume to pair with this one, creating an adorable mommy/daughter look? Dress as a mummy and celebrate Halloween with your lil Cleo!

Ever watched any film or television show that features a keen eye into the mystical lands of ancient Egypt? If so, you’ve been plunged into a world of powerful magic that is wrapped up in more mystery than any other mythology. Mummies rise up from ancient entombment either to guard their pyramids or crypts or perhaps arising from a curse that afflicts both them and those who look upon them. The gods watch over the land, demanding attentive worship while conniving amongst themselves at a rate that would have the Olympian pantheon tuning in daily to keep up on the drama. And the pharaohs, too, have their own enigmatic legacies. One never is sure they know the full story of anything that comes of the old sands.But, legends also speak of the Dark Pharaoh… powerful kings that with their inherited divine power did not wish to simply relinquish their forms and spirits to complete the cycle of life and death. Instead, they sought to perpetuate their own lives, to remain forever and keep the godly might that was rightfully theirs. Such disruptions to Ma’at would bring down anger and curses from the gods and such a pharaoh might even rise as the most treacherous creatures of all ancient Egyptian myth: the mummy.But… that won’t happen to you! That happens to other dark pharaohs. The type who aren’t connected to the real world, who haven’t earned their long-lasting power and life! So, you have no fear in this Adult Black Pharaoh costume. The shining black robe provides a dark and mysterious base when contrasted with the golden finish of the belt and iconic regal collar. The matching black and gold headpiece frames your noble face and demands respect from your subjects. Now you only need acquire your mystical scepter and your immortality is ensured. Otherwise… there is always a mummy costume for next year!

Mixed MotivationsIf you had lived in Europe in the wide range of years from 1095 to 1492, you probably would have known a man or two who had joined in a crusading movement. It was a popular choice for many reasons. For one, if you were a serf, you legally belonged to your lord. The pope promised that serfs that joined in the fight would be given freedom on their return. Soldiers also joined to see the world, get land, gain wealth, and have their sins wiped clean. Like all other ventures, every individual had their own reasons for joining. Now that the crusades have been over for more than 600 years, the little crusader in your life can choose their very own mission. Are they crusading to fight for freedom from an early curfew? Or perhaps they're campaigning for a trip to an indoor water park this winter. Like the actual crusades, every soldier is in it for a different reason. Whatever your child's motivations might be, the mission is sure to be more successful if they're dressed for success!Design & DetailsYour child will feel like they're ready for anything when they slip into this Made by Us crusader costume. The costume has a tunic at the base and with silver sequins that make up a chain mail look and texture. Your child is sure to be excited about the "shining armor" look. A red cross tabard is draped over the tunic and the hood is draped over the neck, looking awesome whether it's worn up around the head or down. The look is topped off with details like the draping belt and faux leather gloves. A Sharp LookKid's will be jumping with excitement when they know this costume is coming in the mail. Make sure they're ready to wear this costume as soon as it's out of the package by adding on a sword and shield and pairing it with leggings and boots. We'd say this costume will conquer this Halloween with ease!

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!?)

Others remember them for their burial practices and mummies.

Ahh, a safari! Doesn’t that sound quite wonderful and relaxing, just hunting big game in the African veldt? It’s just you and nature. There’s nothing standing between you and that sun… that’s blistering hot in the afternoon sky. 12,000 lb. elephant… which are known for their giant tusks and turbulent tempers when encroaching upon the herd. There’s nothing between you and that majestic lion… who hasn’t eaten dinner in a few days and has razor sharp claws with a run speed of nearly 50 miles per hour.On second thought, a safari sounds awfully dangerous! Perhaps it’s better to stay in the comfort of your own home town while wearing this Safari Hunter costume. It’s a plus size version of our classic Safari costume, which is perfect for when you want to look like Teddy Roosevelt on a safari, but have no intention of booking a plane ticket to the middle of nowhere just to have dangerous animals try to kill you.The costume includes a vest that looks like something out of the closet of Dr. Livingstone.

The Warriors of OldThe great Roman gladiators of the time, although pitted against each other in the arena, were very well treated for the most part. They were fed well and received the best medical attention money could buy. After all, they were both warriors and entertainers for the Roman people.After all, the great audiences of Rome wanted to see mighty warriors locked into intense competition! These powerful fighters took on not only each other in the ring but lions, tigers, even bears! We know what you're thinking, "oh my!" (You were waiting for that, weren't you?) "I could never be one of those fearsome brawlers!" Well, we're here to say that you absolutely can...look exactly like one of those battling warriors!Product DetailsEnter the ring in this Roman Gladiator Costume! Wear the ancient armor of the most brutal group of fighters since the Spartans! (And yes, among other exotic peoples, Spartans fought as gladiators.) Which tools will you choose? A net and spear (difficult to work but deadly for catching enemies by surprise), dual swords (flashy and full of offense but hard to block javelins!), or will you pick up the age-old classic pairing of the sword and shield? This costume comes with a pullover tunic, body armor that attaches with Hook and Loop fastener, faux suede armbands, a matching headband, foam shin guards, as well as a molded plastic medallion. Add some Roman-style sandals to complete the look and let the crowd go wild with the entertainment you provide! We'd recommend just looking really good in this armor instead of actually fighting since it's not quite as sturdy as what the real deal was! But hey, maybe looks will win the crowd, it's happened before!
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!
The Vikings were known for grit, fearlessness, and exploration; they were not known for having skilled barbers or hairdressers. So as a result, they sometimes looked a bit shaggy. Men braided their beards to keep them tidy. But it turns out that the shaggy, unkempt look was a good thing, because it made their warriors look really fierce when they faced their enemies! Now, we have modern technology and tools to keep ourselves looking neat and clean. Can you imagine showing up for your Monday morning All Hands meeting with beard braids? (Actually, that could be kind of fun!) Lucky for you, you can get that ideal Viking look for your costume without depriving your barber of income when you wear this Blonde Viking Wig, Beard and Mustache. It looks wild and ready to set sail on an adventure beneath a horned helmet for Halloween!
Interesting InsectsWhen we think about steampunk-themed items, we usually think of mechanics. After all, the idea is to consider what our world would look like if we still ran things on steam instead of other forms of energy. We don’t always wonder what mechanical animals would look like. Here’s one imagining of an awesome insect! We’ve always been a little disappointed that dragonflies don’t actually look like miniature dragons. However, they’re still really cool! They have 4 wings instead of the typical 2, which is pretty neat, and they come in so many different colors. In the steampunk world, they’re made of metal so they’re a little less vibrant, but their wings are still beautiful!Product DetailsAdd the perfect gear-themed accessory to your steampunk outfit with this antique dragonfly gear pin! It has gears to emulate that antique style while keeping the shape of the fascinating bug, and attaches with a safety pin to minimize stabbing. Use it to complete your costume or send it to a friend as a fantastic steampunk gift!Don’t Bug Me!If you’re obsessed with the imaginary era of gears and steam, this antique dragonfly gear steampunk pin is for you. Its beautiful insect design merges the natural with the artificial, and is a great accessory for your next costume!
He’s number two!Poor John Adams! His presidency came after George Washington’s, and it was pretty hard to compete with the very first president of the United States. But John Adams is actually pretty cool in his own right. This Founding Father wasn’t only the first vice president and second president of a fledgling country. He also helped write the Declaration of Independence, hammer out a treaty with Great Britain to end the Revolutionary War and was the first president to live in the White House. (Take that, George Washington!) Oh, and his son ended up becoming president, too!For your next U.S.-president-themed costume party, don’t go as some cliché like Washington or Theodore Roosevelt (and definitely not Abe Lincoln, since there are bound to be at least three other people doing the same thing!). Instead, show off your love of history by dressing up like ol’ John Adams, a truly underrated American president.Product detailsLook every inch like a perfect president with this exclusive Men’s John Adams Costume. The costume comes with a jacket and an attached vest, pants, a hat and a cravat. Both the jacket and the pants are 100 percent polyester. The jacket has vest panels sewn into the side and shoulder seams of the jacket, and the panels fasten at the center front with antique-brass-tone metal buttons. The cravat has a hook-and-hoop fastener at the back for easy wear, while the pants have an elastic waistband and cuffs to ensure you’ll always be comfortable. The faux suede tricorn hat has wire along the brim edge to keep its shape and always keep you looking fashionable!The coolest commander-in-chiefYou may have to spend the night explaining who you are to your fellow partygoers, but that will just give you extra chances to tell everyone how amazing John Adams really was. We think that’s a win-win!

Sometimes kids have no idea what they want to be when they grow up. Some kids say they want to be a doctor, and some say they want to be a lawyer, and some of the smart kids even say they want to be an ice cream tester. But you know you have a unique kid on your hands when they say they want to be president someday. While eating ice cream sounds pretty good to us, there's no better goal for our youth than to follow in the footsteps of our forefathers and one day become president! With a Colonial Boy Wig like this one, who knows what could happen? He just might be president someday because he looks so convincing... or he might just chop down your cherry tree, but don't worry, he'll be honest with you about it if he does!
It really doesn’t matter where you look for ancient tales about some of the most famous of mythical creatures. Ultimately, the core of the tale rings pretty accurate no matter where you’re finding it. Such is the case of the mysterious Medusa. In some tales, she was a woman of such incredible beauty that she was cursed by jealous gods, turned into a monster that no mortal could handle looking upon, ultimately even meeting her own end upon seeing her horrific reflection. In others, she was a sorceress granted great magic by demons who ultimately subverted her form over several years. But, one great fear remains true of the mighty gorgon… her gorgeous locks of hair became a nest of hissing vipers!But, who is to say that a nest of serpent hair can’t still be pretty! Prove those jealous gods and cruel demons wrong by showing off this exotic and lovely Wicked Medusa wig. This synthetic weave of vibrant green dreadlocks have just enough of the entwined serpent look to give people a second thought about getting too close but are exotic and beautiful enough that they’ll have to take a second look! Join this with the right sequined green dress or a nice set of serpent contact lenses to turn monster into mystery!
Looking for more of a historical style this Halloween? More specifically, are you hoping to properly portray the women of the colonial period? Well, no woman would be seen walking about the settlements of Plymouth or New Amsterdam without a bonnet atop their heads, so you shouldn't be seen at your next costume gathering without one either. Once you find the perfect colonial dress, we have the perfect Colonial Mob Hat for you to add to your outfit for the finishing touch. This white linen bonnet will perfectly resemble the informal style of women in the rural and country areas which, back in the colonial period, may have been pretty close to just about everywhere. The simplicity of the accessory is its greatest strength. Like a fluffy white cloud, it will sit right on your head with no need for adjustments. The lovely, yet still quite simple, lace trim encircling the cap adds a hint of fashion without being too flashy about it. So, give everyone at your next costume party a humble lesson in history when you add this Mob Hat to your Colonial outfit!
We all know the story. Rob from the rich and give to the poor. While it's a noble pursuit, we'd like to see the Robin Hood story evolve a little bit for modern times. First step? Robin Hood needs to be a woman. We think the cunning skills of the famed hero translate just as well to a strong female role as portrayal by a man ever did. After that, we're not really sure where to take the story. To colonial America? The Australian outback? Outer space?? Whether you're interested in piloting the Merry Men to planet Nottingham, or prefer to keep the story in medieval England, you'll love your adventure in this Darling Robin Hood costume. Because history (or the future) mixed with a little sex appeal sometimes is just the right recipe.
Back in ye old colonial days, you didn’t have to worry about pesky things like getting a hair cut every three weeks, or the onset of male pattern baldness, or even having to wash those long locks on a regular basis! All you had to do was get yourself a fine wig, some powder, and boom: You were looking right and tight!And while there's not much that we would bring back from the colonial days, being able to rock a wig ranks right up there.

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.

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!

Yes… they will run solely on, erm, rainwater, and positive thoughts. Okay, never mind. We’ll leave the genius work to you.

Wearing a fur coat lets everyone know that you know your way around a high-end department store and you've probably spent some time on a yacht.That didn't used to be the case.

It Was the Best of Times, It Was the Worst of Times...Civil war, or any kind of war, is never great. There's always bloodshed, heartbreak, sickness, shortages, and wounds - both physical and mental - that take time to heal. On the other hand, just like throughout the rest of human history, there are always good things to be found right alongside the bad. Physicians start to realize that handwashing before surgery is a good idea. The bridge to women's suffrage begins to be built. The steam engine blazes across the prairie, reuniting families and cutting down on weeks of travel in covered wagons. And best of all, women's fashions were absolutely stunning!

Maybe that's why this detailed Steampunk Cane features a molded plastic head that looks an awful lot like a metallic skull, churning through fantastic ideas with the help of all those gears! Because even though we tend to think of a steam-powered retrofuture as a pretty great place to visit, nowhere is perfect. Buried under the gleaming machinery of all those clever contraptions, we're sure that there's at least a hint of the darkly-obsessive or macabre.That's just the way that stories go: if the hero is a gifted but naive up-and-coming engineer, there's got to be a villain to balance the scales. So whether you're an earnest tinkerer who's lost himself in a mechanical labyrinth of his own brilliant inventions, or you're the diabolical mastermind who's built a dark secret into the turbine-driven heart of a floating city, this cane is a solid choice when you need somebody to lean on!
Home, Home On the PlainsThe plains might have been where the deer and the antelope roamed. And yeah, sure you might not have heard a discouraging word very often. But that doesn't change the fact that life in the prairie was crazy challenging. The land was ripe for planting once you plowed up the sod. But then you had to hope that a mob of grasshoppers wouldn't fly through eating everything in their path including the clothes hanging from the clothesline, the clothesline, and very curtains on your windows. And if it wasn't a year when locusts were popular you could worry about crazy fast wildfires, drought, and well water contamination. You probably know the drill if you've ever played Oregon Trail. But even though life on the plains was so hard, people still did it! And they managed to stay looking perfectly sweet while doing so!Product Details & DesignThis Made-By-Us costume has little details that'll make you stand out from all the other pioneers.

Queen of QuantityMarie Antionette is most known for her love of the extravagant. Her lush tastes applied to everything. She was so into desserts that she brought her personal chocolate maker with her when she moved to Versailles to marry Louis XVI. He created groundbreaking desserts just for the queen and her cohort. She lived in one of the most extravagant palaces in Europe but once she got sick of remodeling the grounds over and over again, she had a provincial farm town built just for her.

This is Sparta!King Leonidas has quite a problem. Greece's greatest enemies, the Persians, are trying to invade! He's going to need to gather up as many of his countrymen as possible to protect his beloved homeland. He knows he'll need the help of the mighty Spartan warriors, but will they be able to crawl over to the battlefield in time to join into the fray? Or will they over-sleep during naptime and miss the whole thing?Leonidas calls his men to sound the alarm and shake the battle rattles, alerting everyone to the critical situation. He wishes he could send out messengers with information about what's going on, but he hasn't learned to write yet, and he's sure the rest of the troops haven't learned to read yet, anyway. This is a terrible predicament! As the Persian forces draw nearer, Leonidas knows time is running out, and he has no idea how to rally his army to victory or even escape himself.

If you're planning a toga party, historical accuracy may not be on your priority list. So you maybe don't care that historical purists would insist that there was never any such thing as a Greek toga or a women's toga or a child's toga. And this Women's Grecian Dress ISN'T a toga. If you ARE interested in historical accuracy, this costume is actually a fairly accurate representation of what a Greek woman would have worn. The only difference is that an ancient version would have been ankle-length instead of above-the-knee. But the shape, the draping and the geometric trim are realistic. For a toga, party, however, perhaps you only care that it's cute--which it is!

About the only thing that can compare is bringing your kiddo along for the ride. Just imagine the tale that you both will craft.

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.
Clothes Make the ManNo! Crowns make the man. This crown, in fact, makes you into a Viking King. Or Jarl. Or Chief. Or whatever the rest of your costume says about you. Hmm… ok, we admit that clothes influence the initial impression of the man somewhat, but nonetheless, we maintain that crowns are also very powerful in terms of first impressions. So there.Besides, who ever heard of someone taking control of vast armies without a crown? Well, we suppose the President of the United States doesn’t wear one… or any generals… Ok, we admit that that was another bad example, but nonetheless! We adamantly oppose the idea of allowing costumes to remain incomplete. It’s just not right.Hordes of HoardsOne of the best features of a crown is that it implies that you’re either fabulously wealthy or immensely powerful. Whichever it may be in reality, you will certainly be the target of many curious courtiers wondering whether you have hordes of terrifying pillagers, or hoards of tantalizing coin.I’m Viking that CrownHere’s another thing people will say! Get it?! Viking?? Liking?? Well, in our office poll at Halloweencostumes.com, 3 out of 100 people thought that this was a funny pun (yes, it was us).
