Colonial Etiquette 101Before regular baths, indoor lighting, and other modern niceties were available, etiquette was much more strict. Maybe this was to make people feel fancy, even while stepping through who-knows-what in the streets and picking bugs out of their wigs. For instance, children were instructed to never approach their parents without bowing first. And even then, they had to address good ol' mom and dad as sir or madam!George Washington transcribed party fouls such as, "lift not one eyebrow higher than the other" and "it is bad manners to cross your legs." Honestly, we're not sure if he'd be cool with our conversation style. Still, all judgment aside, it's good to know how to act while wearing this Colonial Costume. And if someone catches you raising an eyebrow, perhaps they'll let you get away with it due to your dapper duds!Design & DetailsThis high-quality Made By Us faux suede ensemble will have you thanking your lucky stars for modern conveniences such as mirrors and cameras because it would be a shame if you couldn't take in your colonial splendor! The brown vest panels are attached to the jacket so that getting dressed is a snap. Add your own white collared shirt and tie the satin neck scarf as you see fit! Topped off with a tricorn hat, your historic costume will look spiffy in 1700's style as soon as it's out of the bag!Revving for RevolutionOnce you're in this costume, you'll almost feel ready to take up your quill and pen a strongly worded letter to King George! Just add a pair of knee-high socks that you can tuck into your pantaloons, a pair of pilgrim shoes, and maybe even a wig if you're feeling fancy. Once you're suited up, who knows what will happen! Just be sure and take a few rules from George Washington's notes and keep those legs uncrossed!
Walk Like an EgyptianIf you're opting for an Egyptian theme this Halloween, then good on you! There are so many cool costumes that require the right sandals—from Pharaohs to toga parties to famed historical figures. But, and you'll have to trust us here, it is so hard to get enough time off of work to travel to Egypt for all the accessories you need to make your costume look authentic. There are visas and passports involved, health records, and let's not forget what a pain it is to exchange currency. You're probably better off snagging these awesome Men's Egyptian Sandals for your costume! They cost a lot less than a roundtrip ticket to Egypt, and they can arrive at your door in time for Halloween. Talk about a win-win. Now, we just hope you live in a warm enough climate where your toes won't freeze off in the late October air. Brrr!Product DetailsThis pair of sandals gleams with a golden hue that looks like it's been gilded by a true cobbler in the market square. The soles are anti-slip, and the sides of each sandal allow for size adjustment. The style fits seamlessly with your costume, too!
Your airship is coming apart at the seams. You need to do something to keep it all together. Go grab your blowtorch, and your welding gear because you need to start fixing it now. If you don't get it fixed now the whole ship will go down. Everything you have built gone forever. All the people, the ones who are so loyal to you, will have no home, no job. You better get to work.But crud, where are your welding goggles? Oh, that's right, your last pair broke in the last storm. Well, we have these Cyber Steam goggles to replace your old pair. They will protect your eyes from the brightness of the blow torch. And they will let you get on with fixing your ship. When you are all done, just put them on a top hat so they don't get lost, or broken again.
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.
First lady of styleMost people can name the Founding Fathers: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams… Heck, Alexander Hamilton even has a whole musical about him! These guys are famous, and rightfully so, but you know what they say: Behind every great man is a great woman. Most of the Founding Fathers were married and supported by loving wives, but you never really get to learn much about the Founding Mothers. We think it’s about time to change that!Abigail Adams was the wife of John Adams, the second president of the United States. And she was pretty cool in her own right, too! For one, she was the first woman to be both the wife and the mother of a president. (Don’t worry, it wasn’t the same guy!) She also gave her husband tons of advice when it came to how to run the country. She was a champion of women’s education and spoke out against slavery. Of all the first ladies to dress up like for a costume party, we don’t think you could do much better than Abigail Adams!Product detailsThis exclusive Kid’s Abigail Adams Costume is sure to be a hit, whether you’re going to an inauguration or just a costume party. It looks just like a dress that a fashionable lady from the early 1800s would wear when she’s hosting a party at the White House. The red, long-sleeved pullover dress is 100 percent polyester, with a zipper down the back center for easy wear. The collar and sleeve cuffs are trimmed with lace, while there is elastic in the waist for a cinched look. All you need is a quill pen and some parchment to complete the look!Belle of the ballWhether you’re preparing for a trip to the White House or just hosting friends in your own living room, you’ll definitely be the belle of the ball with this beautiful costume!
The Brave SuffragetteSuffragettes bravely fought for the right to vote around the world. International organizations like the International Woman Suffrage Alliance helped foster the movement for voting rights and equal civil rights anywhere where they weren't already law. The movement in the United Kingdom was particularly notable for getting suffrage passed through 2 laws in 1918 and 1928. A hallmark of the Victorian era, you may have thought the age of the suffragette has long passed with women's voting rights being now established. But we're thinking it's a great time to bring them back! There's plenty more to fight for, so long as you're willing to show your tenacity. So, just suit yourself up in this Plus Size English Suffragette Costume and get ready to revive the suffragette legacy!Product DetailsThis Suffragette Costume Plus Size starts with a one-piece dress that's styled to look like a skirt and ruffled blouse, which would have been the attire during the Victorian era when the women's suffrage movement was at its peak. The dress fits with fasteners in the back and comes with decorative faux pearls on the sleeve cuffs. The cameo attaches to the collar to add an authentic look to the outfit and the whole thing is finished off with a sash. The sash fits around your shoulder and reads, "Votes for Women". The sign is not included, so you'll have to craft your own if you want the full look as we have it pictured!Your Vote MattersRaise awareness for election day or celebrate when your candidate wins when you go in this Women's English Suffragette Costume. And be sure to shop our entire selection of historical themed costumes and accessories for everything you need to complete your look, and to take care of looks for everyone who may be going in costume with you!
Scene: an awesome costume party of your choice.Enter you, wearing this tunic/toga combo, behind your friend Jerry—both fashionably late.Jerry: “Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to you with the life of the party!"...Can you imagine a more appropriately dramatic Shakespearean entrance? If you have access to a team of steeds, a golden chariot, and a dozen Roman soldiers for escort, you could... Oh, you don't? Well, you could clear the punch and pretzels from the dining room table, call over an impromptu audience, and project onto your makeshift stage a hologram of the bard himself William Shakespeare to narrate your...

That said, you need only don this costume, let loose your introductions, and have Jerry set the mood: “Mischief, thou art afoot. Take thou what course thou wilt!”

Going ClubbingAgma is one of the most popular cavewomen in the cliffs. She knows how to make the best mammoth stew. She tells the best hunting stories. Somehow she made the dangerous incident with a cave hyena that happened last month sound pretty funny and was asked to retell it around the fire three nights in a row. So when it came to caveman prom, Agma had a lot of invites. Thog brought her a bouquet of cabbage flowers. Zeb brought her a rabbit skin purse. And Borg gave her a brand new strand of polished rocks.Details & DesignThis wide bone hair clip is Made by Us. The metal clip is secure with small teeth to keep it in place. The long bone will stand out from your hairdo while also being lightweight to keep you comfortable and flashy.Rock and RollThere's a reason Agma is popular.

All Agma really needed to decide on was if she wanted to wear her granite headband or her brand new mammoth bone clip. Not a hard choice at all, if you ask us!
Sweet Sky SailingWant to hear our hot take on flying? We think the idea of airplanes has held back our imagination when it comes to flying? Before the Wright Brothers took their flying contraption in the air, the skies were much more capricious! Victorians were floating around in colorful air balloons and inventing machines like the (admittedly dangerous) zeppelin. But what if we went back to ideation mode? You could become the pilot of a hovering bubble that free-floated 10 feet in the air. Or you could zoom through the sky in a bird puppet formed from wax paper and lightweight wires. The ideas don't have to work, you just have to dream it up! Inspire your wild pilot costume with exciting accessories like this pair of rainbow goggles!Product DetailsThis cool pair of goggles is ready to fly! Strapping onto the head with a wide strip of length-adjustable elastic, the goggles are lined with foam for comfort. The goggles may have a smoky, colorful lens but they are not UV proof, so be careful with those sunny days! Flight of FancyAre you ready to take flight with an extra twist of fashion? This costume accessory easily pairs with traditional pilot costumes or a steampunk ensemble for an updated take on your hot air balloon day dreams!
A NORDIC EXCALIBURAll mighty heroes of legends come along with their mighty implement that matches their namesake. Merlin and Arthur had their mighty blade, pulled from the stone that sang as it slashed their way into the history books. And, so, when Ragnar is ready to raid and make his fate a reality as the Earl and one-day King, you know that he isn't going to go very far at all unless he is wielding his mighty axe at his side! It is time to answer your destiny. DESIGN & DETAILSThe Seer might have plenty of wisdom to bring you to your fate, but that's all assuming you have this officially licensed Ragnar Lothbrok Axe in your hand. Our designers broke the mold to bring you this exclusive and thick plastic axe. It is expertly painted so the shaft has a weathered look and the axehead seems to have seen some serious battle. IN THE NAME OF ODINNo Viking can find their way to Valhalla without battle in their mind and a weapon in their hand.

All Hail Caesar (Maybe)! This soldier of ancient Rome is here to defend his country! As soon as he figures out which tyrant to stand behind.

Product DetailsFight for mother Rome with this 18 Inch Roman Sword in your hand!

For the Glory of Rome!Complete your Roman solider costume or add to your collection of historical items! You've got what it takes to become a major world power (at least for a few centuries).
To the modern eye, the ancient Greek pantheon might look a little silly decked out in those archaic robes. But when your to-do list includes managing the harvest, selectively meddling in the affairs of mortals, and getting back at Hades for slipping a whoopee cushion onto the Throne of Zeus, you need an outfit that offers plenty of comfort and a full range of motion. And nothing compares to this tried-and-true traditional look for inspiring devotion and culling favor!Just make sure your costume meets divine standards for craftsmanship and quality, like this Plus Size Olympic Goddess Costume. Because there's a pretty strict dress code on Mt. Olympus these days, thanks to the steady stream of mortals who think they can cut holes in a pillowcase, sneak up to the summit, and pretend they'd been around since the age of the Titans. You're not fooling anybody, guys! Not unless you have a really great outfit!And if you manage to join the ranks of the other great-looking humans who have successfully infiltrated the gods' inner circle, try not to go crazy with all of that power, okay? Because getting zapped by lightning or having frogs rain from the sky is not what we had in mind when we showed you this excellent costume. We just thought you might want to take this classic look to an upcoming party, or immerse yourself in some classical literature by slipping into some more appropriate attire. We really don't want to have to beg for mercy. Not again!
George Washington. One of the few presidents that everyone can recognize, able to even state that he was our first! We can imagine him with this fist on his chest, sailing across the Delaware River. We can imagine the tales we’ve heard… his wooden teeth and his proud proclamations that he couldn’t dare lie about cutting down the cherry tree. Few know the truth of where he got those wooden teeth!… Ok, so that was probably a lie, but it is hard living up to the high pedestal that the founding fathers left for us. Harder still to stand up to the first President! But, we can try by knowing as many obscure details about the man as possible. For example, he was born with no mortal father! Er, no, that was Merlin. George Washington was born with no middle name, though! He was also a rather exceptional dancer. As there weren’t any video games to play in the 18th century, we were left with few diversions and as a growing man in the social order, he was expected to attend many balls and parties. Finding that he enjoyed it so much, his skill quickly developed and so did his attraction to all the ladies at the dances, many of them attempting to dance at least twice with him!So, while there is a lot to live up to, it is generally accessible! And most of it can be done even without rotting out your teeth, first. You can start by helping your tyke climb into this George Washington costume. The blue polyester jacket has shining buttons in the front and the white cravat shirt just screams the right time period. Black vinyl boot tops make for a reliable look for the old world foot wear. Include a few other accessories, such as the iconic white wig or even the notorious cherry chopping axe!
It seems like most people, when asked to imagine a knight in their mind, picture a strapping man in shining armor atop a horse. We'd like to change that, and we think this girl's warrior knight costume is a great start! She'll look no worse for wear when she goes out wearing this look, ready to fight a dragon, save a steward in distress, or defend a king from invading forces. No need to worry about the chainmail...it's actually a comfortable fabric even though it looks pretty intense. So, let your daughter or granddaughter know that she too can be a fearless warrior of old this Halloween with our warrior knight costume.
The Gold StandardHave you ever wondered why gold is so valuable? It’s a decent conductor, but copper and silver can do that job just as well. You can’t use it to make weapons or armor, because the metal is too soft. So, why do we go so crazy over it? Probably because it’s rare, pretty and it shines like a rockstar!Yes, gold is the rare, pretty, shining rockstar of metals. If you’re feeling like quite the rockstar and you have a desire to shine, then gold may just be the color for you. If only there was a makeup that allowed you to shine like the precious metal…Product DetailsWait, of course there’s a makeup that will make you sparkle! This deluxe gold makeup is a theatrical grade makeup that’s the color of glittering gold. You can apply it to your face and body and it’s designed to be easy to remove. Just use regular soap and water to wash it off when you’re done shining. It’s also fragrance free.More Gold than Fort KnoxYou can use this gold makeup for all of your costume needs, or you can just use it when you want to shine like a magnificent bar of gold from Fort Knox!
Are you always picking up the weapons of your vanquished foes, only to find yourself tossing them aside the next time a lion challenges you to a Greco-Roman wrestling match? You're not alone. According to a recent survey, one in five men may experience problems keeping track of his sword in the arena. This debilitating problem can result in emotional distress, confusion, and a drastic reduction in the number of his remaining limbs. And it afflicts more people than you might think!But now, there's hope. This detailed armament combo makes use of a revolutionary advance in faux metallurgy that allows a warrior to sheathe his weapon inside his shield! We expect both the gladiator-on-the-go and the hands-on naturalist to make heavy use of the slot deftly concealed behind the lion's head relief at the center of this buckler, which fits the included broadsword. Who says that there's nothing new under the sun?
Casual Knight OutDisclaimer: this helmet is bad news for jousting matches. But, it’s absolutely perfect if you have other knightly duties to perform but want to relax a little. See, knight helmets aren’t comfortable. They’re made of metal, cold, sharp metal. And if yours isn’t cold, it’s probably too hot—there really is no in-between. The point is, as a knight, you have lots to do while dressed as a knight. Whether it’s a short day, wintery day, long day, or sunny day, there’s some discomfort in store, all due to that silly helmet you have to wear. And while we highly advise donning the metal contraption for your jousting matches and whatnot, we’ve got something better for when you need it just for appearances’ sake.Product DescriptionLook like the knight in shining armor you’re meant to be, and stay comfy with this Silver Knight Plush Helmet! By doing away with metal helmet construction, this padded metallic headcover is the solution all knights have been waiting for! In addition to being soft-sculpted, this high-shine helmet is lightweight and made to fit newly recruited and veteran knights. You’ll feel so relaxed under the visor and helm, you’ll find yourself wanting to wear it whether you’re attending your king’s Accession Day tilt or laying down for a good knight’s sleep!
Wash Your HandsWhen Florence Nightingale came on the medical scene during the Crimean War, more soldiers were passing away due to sickness than injury. Once soldiers entered the medical bay they were exposed to some seriously awful bugs. When the sharp-eyed, diplomatic Nightingale saw the conditions of the medical tents she wrote to the government to tell them to save the soldiers through hygiene. Under pressure, the government went to work improving ventilation and sewage treatment.In the meantime, Florence implemented handwashing rules and trained nurses in keeping sanitary conditions. Under her watchful eye and lantern light, the rate of survival in the hospitals went from fifty-one percent to an amazing ninety-eight percent. It's no wonder that, more than a hundred years later, we still remember her making her nightly rounds, lantern raised.Design & DetailsIf your child is a history buff, she's sure to appreciate this Florence Nightingale costume, designed by our in-house creative team. The black dress and apron are separate, letting your child dress up in either without the other. The apron slips over the head and ties at the back. The dress zips up the back and has a red cross band around one arm. Topped off with a ruffled cap, this costume would make the proper Florence Nightingale proud!For the WinWhile most well to do young ladies were expected to stay at home, Florence had a calling that she couldn't ignore. Her expectations for hygiene, patient care, and compassion elevated the skill of nursing and saved people all over the world! In fact, nurses still the Nightingale Pledge to this day! This costume can be completed with a lantern to represent Nightingale on her nightly routes, checking on patients as everyone else slept. Perfect for school projects, plays, and even an alternative Halloween costume, this look is a great way to celebrate an iconic hero of medicine!
The Maddest InventionDeep underground, a scientist works feverishly towards her goal. If she doesn't have this ready by morning, the local authorities will be able to shut down her lab. She mixes frantically, muttering instructions and cackling to herself. The final beaker tips into the pot, and there is a searing flash of light. The chemical is ready! The woman holds up the finished vial, its glowing contents reflected in her safety goggles. Her maniacal laugh echoes off the stone walls. Those officers don't stand a chance! Tell your own story with the help of these Silver/Mirror Atomic Ray Goggles.Product DetailsYou don't have to go mad scientist with these, if you don't want to! These silver goggles will work with many costumes. The dark lenses remind us of a Lady Gaga music video, or a techy space cowboy. The goggles also have an adjustable, stretchy band, so you can fit these over different hoods and hairstyles. Please note that these goggles are not actually safe for any mad scientist plots, so if you're headed to a real lab, maybe take some certified eye wear with you! For a costume, though, these will add the perfect final touch.
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).
Fourscore and seven years ago…Well, it’s been a little longer than that since Abraham Lincoln was president, but he’s still one of the most famous commanders-in-chief in our country’s history. Name a more famous president. Maybe George Washington, but that’s about it, and that’s not really fair, since he was the first president, and all. He got a lot of publicity for that. But Abraham Lincoln is definitely one of the best-known guys, and not just because he’s got his face carved onto the side of a giant mountain!But Abraham Lincoln didn’t start out with an illustrious career. Did you know he actually argued a case in front of the Supreme Court and lost? He also lost five separate elections during his attempts to get involved in politics. So, we guess the best thing to learn from Lincoln is to never stop trying to fulfill your dreams, no matter how long it takes!Product detailsIf you’re itching to dress up like one of America’s most beloved presidents, but you don’t want to wear wooden teeth to pull off a truly authentic George Washington, then we recommend this President Abe Lincoln Costume. The exclusive costume comes with a 100 percent polyester wool-like coat with an attached vest, which features a stylish button-down center. There’s also a satin bowtie with an elastic band to secure around your collar.Of course, an Abe Lincoln costume would be nothing without his iconic top hat, and we’ve got you covered there with a dazzlingly tall black top hat featuring a shiny satin ribbon. (The shirt and pants, though, aren’t included, so make sure you don’t forget to add some before stepping out on the town!)Hail to the chief!Whether you’re heading to a historical reenactment or just a Halloween party, this costume is the perfect presidential choice!
Don't Judge a Tut by its TombThe crypt had stood in silence for generations. Dust was everywhere, thick like fallen snow. But, as the adventurers stepped into the room, sending particles flying into the air, they couldn't help but cough until their lungs were raw! As the dust settled and the torchlight filled the room, they saw it against the far wall. Light glinted off the gold and bronze. The gemstones gleamed under the flickering flames. The Sarcophagus of the Tomb! Their lungs burned. Fear gripped their hearts. The adventurers turned and fled, screaming about the curse that had certainly afflicted them.Then, King Tut just sighed. Tut shrugged, turned around, went back through the secret passage to the tomb's kitchenette and turned off the stove. "I guess I'll save the tea for my next guests." It would have to be another decade of The Great British Bake Off and Mary Tyler Moore reruns. Unless! There was one other chance to make some friends...Design & DetailsIt is time for the season where even the spookiest of curses are welcomed with wide arms. Our Made by Us design team is happy to clean you up and get you ready for the event with this King Tut Sarcophagus costume.

Pick up some gold body paint or gloves to permanently etch this awesome look in the memories of all who look upon you! No Curses IncludedThanks to the refined look of this King Tut Sarcophagus costume, you'll be Tutting around the Halloween shindig in no time. Folks will be wondering where that myth of the curse even came from... so long as they treat you right, anyway.
History Come to LifeYour kiddo has done all the research, written the required 3-page report, and are making plans to become a living statue. Don't worry, it's just for history class. They're very dedicated though and want to make sure they look just like their chosen historical figure, Betsy Ross.Part of your child's research revealed just how a 19th-century woman dressed, which is very helpful. It's also made the idea of getting them ready for their final presentation a little daunting. Bonnets, bustles, petticoats, and worst of all corsets were standard issue for women in the Victorian era Betsy knew. None of these items exist, even deep, deep, inside your closet. Keep the worries away though. We've got just the thing to get her ready to become the one and only Betsy Ross.Design & DetailsIt'll be like Betsy Ross walked straight out of the 1800s and into your home when your kiddo is wearing this exclusive Girls Betsy Ross Costume.

And to make sure no one misses which US history figure is visiting, we've included a replica of Betsy's American flag to proudly display, too!Victorian Made EasyBetsy Ross is known for creating the first American flag, but many forget she was a professional seamstress. Keeping that in mind, it only makes sense to bring her to life in well-made garments. We believe Betsy would be proud of this (much simpler) Victorian ensemble, but we know your kiddo will love the way they look with it on!
History, in GeneralYou've seen history play repeat itself. You've seen it in your child's room when blocks were used to create barricades for angry Lego men and action figures while fashion dolls played the endangered royals during the French Revolution. You didn't realize that your kiddo was soaking up so much info when listening to the Les Mis soundtrack! History plays itself out every day in your household. You've seen their dolls march for civil rights. You've packed lunches for trips across the prairies in covered wagons (aka journeys around the block with a little red wagon). It's no surprise that your child wants to take on one of the most iconic roles of all time. Why wouldn't they want to transform into the first president of the United States, General George Washington!Design & DetailsOf all the presidents, we have to believe that General George Washington was the best dressed. That's why our in-house designers were sure to add plenty of bright details when designing this Made By Us costume. The costume features a blue jacket with yellow panels down the front and cuffs on the sleeves. Gold trim decorates the jacket as well as the attached cream-colored vest panel. A ruched cravat and a pair of boot covers add polish to the ensemble.

Yup, all you'll have to do is slip on this detailed costume, and you'll be ready to defeat the British and make your way to becoming the first President of the United States of America.This costume replicates a late 18th century historical look that ol' George is commonly depicted as wearing. The vest and jacket are trimmed with an elegant gold floral pattern, and it looks more likely to be worn for a night of high society partying than for a night out on the battlefield.

Disorder in the CourtDo you think you have what it takes to serve in a royal court? It sure sounds fancy, but life in court was never easy. You had to be careful with what you said, who you looked at, and what clothes you wore. If you made the mistake of wearing a fur that was nicer than the queen's furs, you could be sent away from court for good! On top of keeping track of courtesy codes, a successful lady in court had to remember the complicated steps of many dances. At least the royal court was comfortable, right? Not really! Castles were often rather chilly and often surprisingly crowded with lice and mice running amok through the fine royal trappings. Looking back, it's enough to make us glad for our less dramatic yet much more comfortable homes.

A Sherwood ThingEver notice how medieval peasants seem to know how to have a good time? Their king might be greedy. They might be running from a sheriff on a power trip. They might even be living in a forest. But there's a level of fun that poor fellas had in times gone by that we struggle to achieve in our modern get-togethers. Why else would Robin Hood's men be called Merry? They're always shown strumming on homemade instruments and bugling on second-hand horns while they dance and stomp on the forest floor. Now, we realize that they had to spend time fixing their shelters, hunting, and plotting to disassemble the establishment but when you're dressing up as a Merry Man, you get to do what you want. Whether you're stoking a campfire or twirling a maid around a sun-dappled clearing, it's hard to be grumpy when you're dressed to be merry!Design & DetailsWant a high-quality peasant look that you can wear year after year?

Pair up with a few more old-school buddies, a Maid Marian, and a Robin Hood for a Renaissance Faire look that'll take over a whole tavern. Just make sure that you're ready to skedaddle if that tricky sheriff comes sniffing around!

Drinks at the SphinxA night out in ancient Egpyt was really something. Cleopatra and her girls would apply their perfect cat eyes, put on their best wigs, and dust their bodies in gold before calling a Lift to pick them up. No, we didn't spell that wrong. We mean they called a Lift, they each got on they own liter and let their muscley servants carry them around. And the night clubs were awesome. For brunch, they could sit on palace rooftops and sip from goblets as they watched boats go by on the Nile. Then they could do a floating spa in the Red Sea. And in the evening they could go to a lovely gala in between the paws of the great Sphinx, now that's atmosphere!Product DetailsWant a bright costume that seems to suit your royal Egyptian state?

The Brightest BulbIt's no secret that Thomas Edison was a clever fellow. He invented the phonograph, which sparked the first music recordings on vinyl records. He improved the incandescent light bulb, giving light to the entire world. He also invented alkaline batteries that could be used in all sorts of portable gadgets, along with some of the first movie cameras. Why, we owe most of our modern lives to Edison. Movies, recorded music, light... it's all stuff we use every day! We often wonder who the next great inventor will be. All it takes is some wits and a little bit of ingenuity. Maybe your child could be the next Thomas Edison!

He definitey would have been wearing a bow tie while showing off some of his new inventions! This costume conveniently comes with a no-fuss bow tie that your child can wear to complete the outfit.A Part of HistoryIf you have a little genius on your hands, then they might be ready to take on the role of the greatest inventor in modern history.

Doin' it Slick Willie style means having a silver tongue and a memory that conveniently forgets what the word "is" means. It also means busting out wicked saxophone solos whenever you feel like it. You see, basically you can do whatever you want when you get to the highest office in the land, and if you can make it there with your sax and a slick pair of shades on, all the better!This detailed latex mask looks just like ol' Bill, and whether you want to relive some prime 90s nostalgia or if you're just fired up to become the first First Gentleman while your wife gets to take the oath of office and take care of all the nitty gritty work, then this mask is for you. Just imagine all the hanging out you're going to get to do when you get Bill back to the White House. We wonder if they still have all his party shirts tucked away in a closet somewhere in there...
Avoiding HenryAs husbands go, any royal woman in the 1500s will tell you to avoid Henry the 8th. This changeable king had a fragile ego and a hard head. He changed the course of history just so he could legally annul his marriage and marry his new crush, Anne Boleyn. Poor Anne was only queen for a short while before the tides turned and Henry became suspicious of his young wife's past and her current pastimes. We're sure the complicated politics at court certainly didn't help the queen very much! In short, the queen came to an untimely and extremely public end. Still, her style and wiles still shine bright, hundreds of years later. If she could have avoided the king's eye, we're sure that Boleyn would have been a major influencer of the 1500s!Product DetailsA staple of 16th-century fashion, this Anne Boleyn kit would look right at home in Hampton Court. The cap is trimmed in ladylike details. Pearls trim the dark green velvet headband while golden ruffles are tucked underneath for a lush effect. A black veil falls over the back, covering your hair for that distinct 1500s modesty. The large pearl necklace with a large gold-tone "B" is straight out of portraits of Anne Boleyn, making your character unmistakable!
All Hail Apollo!Quick! Name your favorite Greek deity! That can be pretty tough, since there are so many Greek gods and goddesses to choose from. There's Zeus, the king of the gods, but honestly, we think he's a little overrated. After all, what does he do besides hurling lightning bolts (that he doesn't even make himself, mind you) at unsuspecting humans? There's Poseidon, the god of the sea, who we think is cooler than his brother Zeus, but he's confined to a pretty set area. If there's no sea, he's out of luck. Not very powerful then, is he? You could pick Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, and that's a pretty decent choice, but she didn't accomplish much besides having an impressively long list of boyfriends.Of all the Greek gods and goddesses, we say Apollo is the best of the bunch! He's the god of light, music, harmony, poetry, the sun, healing, plagues, prophecy, knowledge, order, beauty, archery and agriculture... That is a pretty extensive list! Pretty much, this god has something for everyone!Product DetailsFeel like a god among men at your next costume party in this Men's Sexy Apollo Costume. This ancient Greece-inspired outfit comes with a shirt, cape, skirt, wrist gauntlets and a headpiece. The regal red shirt can be left off if you're especially daring, and the red and gold Greek-styled skirt is embellished with a lyre print, gleaming golden trim and three red faux jewels near the waist. There's also a gold polyester satin cape with a large ruby stone at the shoulder. To complete the look, the costume comes with soft golden wrist gauntlets and a gold leaf headpiece. (The sword and gladiator sandals are not included.)An Olympian in the HouseOnce you don this majestic Men's Sexy Apollo Costume, you'll be the personification of reason, harmony and moderation... And you'll look pretty darn handsome, too!
Far AfieldHave you ever looked out on a wide horizon and wished you could know what it would have been like to be a pioneer woman?

There are no lamps to trim, we don't have to score our clothes by hand, when we want to go above and beyond to bake some bread, all we have to do is turn on the stove. She would even be delighted by our solid walls and rooves, as many pioneer women wound up living in sod houses, literal bricks of dirt are great at keeping the warmth in and the wind out but they still had to deal with dirt and bugs falling all over the house... gross. Maybe it's time we invited our inner pioneer woman to take a break in our modern lives for a bit. Design & DetailsThis one-piece dress was designed by our in-house creative team for a lovely, easy way to slip into a historic look. The zip-up dress has a long calico blue skirt and a band around the waist. The blouse has a high neck with a small peter pan collar and full sleeves that are cuffed at the wrist. A cameo accents the neck for that little bit of detail that you can expect from a Made by Us costume!Happy Trails!Here's the thing, a typical pioneer woman might find our modern lives convenient but that doesn't mean we can't find her lifestyle beautiful. Standing in the endless prairie grasslands in skirts and a bonnet will always be a gorgeous image. Top this costume off with a bonnet and a petticoat and you'll be ready to start your very own wagon train!
