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!

We surveyed a pool of 100 men to ask them what their beard means to them. This is a brief summary of our findings...Once thought of as a personal grooming choice for only mountain-men and lumberjacks, beards have made quite a comeback in recent years. Now everyone from hipsters residing in Brooklyn to philosophy professors are choosing to sport this popular trend in facial hair. The men we talked to like sporting full beards because it makes them feel powerful, rugged, hardy, and overall more masculine. "No one ever picks a bar fight with a man who's efficient at growing a beefy beard," one participant noted. "Yeah, if a beard was good enough for Abe Lincoln, then a beard is good enough for me," another participate explained.Men-in-the-making, don't worry because your ability to display a robust beard will come soon enough. Until then, wear this red viking beard to give you the macho appearance you desire. You can see what it's like to have a furry face while also enjoying your time as a kid because it goes fast. Be at ease knowing that you will truly join the beard movement some day soon!
Steampunk is many things: a fashion statement, a literary genre, an attitude. And while it may seem like just another passing fad, those in the know understand that this lifestyle will always be a thing of the past – and that’s a good thing.We’ve got a staff full of the pop and counter-culture obsessed, so steampunk has been on our radars for a long time. But for the uninitiated, Steampunk embraces the simplicity of pre-industrial revolution technologies, such as steam power, while at the same time taking on a beautifully modern design aesthetic. This makes for a look that is both retro and modern, which makes it uniquely stylish.This women’s steampunk costume will help you stand out in a crowd this Halloween by showing off that modern sophistication through retro details. The women’s costume includes a dress that has Hook and Loop fastener tabs in the back for a secure fit. The bodice, sleeves, and yoke of the costume are all made of brown velvet for a classic yet elegant look. The dress has cream interlock ruffes at the edges of the sleeves as well as faux suede side panels and an interlock center panel on the bodice. The keyhole cutout below the high, ruffled collar gives it an added bit of detail. The skirt of the dress has an asymmetric hemline that is longer in the back for fuller coverage. The included faux leather buckled straps go across the wrists of brown velvet gloves. The foam top hat never loses its shape and has a brown velvet cover to match the rest of the look. The final touch is the plastic goggles that have an elastic band for a secure and comfortable fit. Add a pair of sexy high heeled boots for a complete look that’s out of this time period!
Round Table ReadyIf you went on a quest, what do you think it would be? There are the classic quests, of course. The ones where you're sent off to rescue a maiden from a high tower or find the spring of eternal youth. But that maiden can save herself, she'll probably befriend her dragon captor and ride on out of there. And the fountain of youth isn't nearly as important when you've got access to plastic surgery and hair dye! Maybe you could go on a quest to solve modern problems. Hunt for a pillow that's the right balance between flat and fluffy.

Southern charmWhile there was a lot wrong with the antebellum South, one thing they got right was the ladies’ beautiful fashions. These women took “go big or go home” to an all new level, with hoop skirts so wide that they sometimes couldn’t even walk through the door! Sometimes, five whole yards of fabric were needed for the voluminous skirts, and it could take days of work to create a complete outfit.Then, when a stylish belle finally received her dress, it was quite another process to actually put it on. There were the undergarments, the petticoats, the crinolines, the hoops, the underskirt… and the dreaded corset! All that had to go on first before the gown could even put worn. Then there was the detachable collar and all the accessories, like flowers for your hair and beautiful jewelry. We guess southern belles really knew how to suffer for fashion!Product DetailsThankfully, your charming southern belle doesn’t have to worry about trading comfort for style at her next ball with this beautiful Kid’s Lovely Southern Belle Costume.

He moves for no manMedieval valor requires folks that have tough character. As you probably know, the Medieval era wasn't a time of peace and prosperity. fights could break out at any time. There were wars between students and townspeople about the quality of the drinks at local pubs.

Do you picture yourself wearing an elegant gown, with pretty slippers and streamers in your hair? Or, would you rather be decked out in this Tavern Maiden Costume, and show everyone how to really have a good time?If you're like us, most of our knowledge of Renaissance times comes from faires and movies based on Shakespeare plays. These probably aren't the most historically accurate sources, but they sure paint a fun scene, and one of the staples of this scene is the humble tavern. Taverns seem to be where all the good stuff happened back then. It's where you went for food, drink, warmth, news, and to look for work. And in many taverns, there was a tough talking gal running the show. She kept things from getting too rowdy, and also made sure everyone had a drink in their hand and a room for the night. Well, if they had coin to spare, that is.This Renaissance-inspired costume is a fun way to step into the part of a tavern keeper, or many other roles from "ye olde times." The earthy and warm colored dress and corset would look right at home in an old village full of hardworking people who know how to let their hair down. Just slip on a pair of sturdy, sassy boots, and you'll be all ready to handle tonight's crowd at your imaginary tavern from earlier, or to let your imagination run wild at the Renaissance Festival!

You might even get to fight a pirate ship or two along the way! The only problem is, with a journey that long, fresh food tends to spoil quickly. No need to worry: That just means that you have to stock your galley with all of the prepackaged, long-lasting snack foods your parents don't like you to eat.
Great ExpectationsTo do great things, you need a great leader. All of the best leaders in history have done things that echo through the history books to this day!

Got Any More of that Pigeon Pie?Ahh, life in the middle ages, that was when it was at. It was an era when all you needed to mend your roof was a bunch of dry twigs and sticks like the ones pictured here. People were eating crazy foods like roasted hedgehogs and pies with live animals in them (this was an amusement rather than an actual course of the meal). There were no songs singing, "Baby, baby, baby" all over again. Instead, lyrics were all about the "Hey, Nonni Nonni" instead. Who's Nonni? No idea. But what a fun word to sing! Yeah, the Renaissance Era had it's up and downs. People weren't really into bathing and there was a little bug going around called "the plague". But in the end, we all know deep down inside that those people from the Medieval Era just have more fun. Product DetailsYour child will be ready to celebrate Midsommers Eve in Medieval style with this classy Renaissance Boy costume.

Whether you're heading to the Ren Fair with the whole family or your child simply wants to go the historical route for Halloween, he'll be ready to let out a healthy, "Hey, Nonni Nonni" once he throws on this cool look!

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.

From a Broken HomeZeus has one messed up family. His dad, Cronus, had a bunch of kids with his Titaness wife, Rhea. He was afraid that they would grow up and steal his throne, so he decided to swallow each of his children as they were born in a single gulp! Rhea was understandably pretty miffed about this, so finally, she decided to hide her next baby from Cronus. She fed that dummy a rock instead and told him it was their latest child, Zeus.An all-grown-up Zeus, who was now reasonably angry that his dad ate his brothers, decided to do something about it. Zeus gave Cronus a good wallop, forcing him to spit out his brothers and sisters. Then, he went to war with his ol’ dad and took the throne from him, becoming the King of the Gods. Of course, you don’t need to know all of that when you wear this Zeus costume for men!Design & DetailsThis plus size Zeus costume turns you into the mighty Greek god from myths. The costume comes with a white tunic that has gold patterning along the bottom, along with a matching belt.

The Last Gear You NeedFor those who love steampunk, they know that the genre is all about the details. A mix of Victorian fashion and old school industrial technology, steampunk strives to create an alternate universe kind of experience. There is something alluring about the genre's impossibly complicated machinery, expecially when it is blended with old timey clothes. It's as if they SHOULD go together—there's no modern technology, or anything—but you know there is something not quite right. It's so fun to believe it's real, though! Keep the suspension of disbelief going with intricate costume details like this Chain Gear Necklace Antique.Product DetailsSteampunk fashion contains a lot of gears, cogs, springs, and other mechanical machinery pieces. It's not just used on useful pieces like aviator goggles that rotate lenses or canes that can also shoot flames. Even corsets, belts, and other accessories are decorated with machinery, to keep the costumes part of the made up era. This necklace has all the little cogs and gears you could want! Even the clasp is a cogwheel and pipe design. The mix of antiqued metal and shining silver adds another element of visual interest. It's the perfect steampunk necklace!
WHICH WENCH IS THE WITCH!?It's hardly a kind sounding word: wench. Very few sentences out there make it feel much better, either. But, that's what time does to some words. Back in the Middle Ages, wench (for the most part) just talked about a young woman... though they were usually of the servant caste. That, of course, means that not many of the folks with power or the then wealthy academics had a whole lot of great things to say about them. So, there went that word... But, the fun of jumping back to the Renaissance is being able to reinvent what happened and fill the tales with some new storytellers. Perhaps this servant girl in the tavern is no mere want-to-be cinder girl. Perhaps she's secretly the hero of the tale. Perhaps she's been toying with some new magical tricks and is just about ready to unleash a potion that will bring those haughty nobles to their knees and turn the tavern tables right around on them! Mwahahaha!DESIGN & DETAILSIt's time to show the whole Renaissance world who truly controls the realm! (It's the gal who determines who gets to drink, naturally.) Our designers have poured their heart into this authentic and high-quality look so you can fill the role of the Lass of the Tavern with this costume. You've got all the details that you need to really feel like you own the inn thanks to the ruffled arms and peasant cut of the shirt, the textured trim and metal buckles on the vest, and the long, two-layered skirt featuring a ruched hip-high tie. How you accessorize will finish the flavor of the character you create! EVERY TALE NEEDS A TAVERNNo matter what story we're being told or telling to an audience, there's always a place to put up your feet. It might start at the tavern or have them show up at the inn but, either way, you'll be there to make this tale terrific thanks to this Tavern Woman Costume!
Have you started to notice people calling you a “polymath” from time to time? Do not fear; they’re not making fun of you, nor do they think you adore calculus!

Before you could run back into the safety of your cottage, a shadow fell across your garden. You looked up, horror welling up inside you—it was a dragon! You tried to run, but it swooped down from the sky and grabbed you in its talons, hauling you hundreds of feet in the air. All you could do was scream for help.Thankfully, your screams caught the attention of a nearby knight, and he raced to your rescue.

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

Deep Sea Knockout The national league of scientists have just stumbled upon a discovery that will knock your socks off. We all knew that the ocean was mostly unexplored and filled with secrets, but its biggest marvel isn't the Great White Shark, the blue whale, or even the Mariana Trench. It's this strikingly stunning sea god - what? Yes, apparently the Greek Gods weren't just interesting myths!

That means you love seventy percent of me already!" Hmm. Maybe workshop that one a little bit. Even mighty Lords of the Waves still need to practice their pickup lines before trying them out on the Nereids who live in their oceans. Fortunately, this Poseidon has two secret weapons: His natural charisma and his fantastic outfit! Oh, and his trident, but that's a different kind of weapon and not as much help in this scenario.
Some kids like to explore.Now we don't mean poking around the backyard. No, we mean climbing trees, collecting bugs and wildlife, documenting foliage, and getting dirty. We're talking exploring in the most in-depth sense of the word. Kids that camp outside, hike through the woods, and track down critters... some kids are just outdoors kids.Which probably means they wouldn't want costumes of doctors and spacemen. No, they'll need something to suit their tastes, something like this Kids Davy Crockett Costume. Davy Crockett is a famous American frontiersman. Known for feats like defending the Alamo, the legends around this folk-hero are far more colorful. From killing a bear when he was three to killing one with only his knife as an adult, we're pretty sure Davy Crockett was like the Chuck Norris of the frontier. Seriously. His stories just keep getting bigger and more crazy. There have been plays and books about it. Go check it out.As such an epic man of the woods, he would be the perfect icon for your outdoorsy kid to dress up as. Whether for play or party, our Kids Davy Crockett Costume should do the trick. There's a flannel shirt with faux fringe, faux leather belt, a "coonskin" hat, and powder horn. Add a couple knives, hatchets, and rifles and your little one will be ready to take on whatever trouble comes bounding out of that forest.
It’s well know that kids are friggen inquisitive. They can ask so many Why or What’s that questions per hour that they’ll either turn into geniuses or witness the decline of the focus of their interrogation from good-intentioned human fast into maddened and whimpering folk, curling for protection in the fetal position in a corner. Yet, still, they will loom over us and inquire, “Why are you doing that?”Rather than attempt to convince these clever inquisitors to halt their investigations, we find it is better to redirect their energies into more productive avenues. Or, more accurately, a street: 221-B Baker Street, to be exact. Home to the most famous detective in all the world, both real and in literature, this address has been home to countless questions and some of the most important discoveries, leading to the solving of some truly ingenious of old crimes.It is time for that tenacious tyke to put the question to some people who really deserve it. And, how better to do it than being clad in this Child Sherlock Holmes costume. Made of conventional polyester, this coat and hat combo will give your kiddo the perfect blend of sophistication and intrigue to help solve all the cases along the way. A crisp set of buttons and an adjustable strap on the hat keep the garb fitting well. Add a few accessories like an oversized magnifying glass or a cob pipe and Moriarty will be behind bars by November… but will it be in jail or the asylum!?
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.

Try one of the delicious fruit pies for sale, or browse merchants’ wares to find the perfect present for your lady love. If you’re more daring, you can enter one of the jousting tournaments. Or, perhaps you’d rather laugh along with the hilarious court jester as he makes a fool out of the king himself. For one day, everyone across the kingdom is equal. Anyone can win the jousting pendant. Anyone can catch the king’s eye. And anyone can be crowned Queen of the Faire.That’s where your little girl comes in.

So help her along with this Toddler Renaissance Maiden Costume, which comes with a beautifully patterned outer layer (easily fastened with the aid of Hook and Loop fastener) and a comfortable cotton under layer. Puffed sleeves and a matching ruffled petticoat offer an extra layer of cuteness, while the black criss-cross on the front adds to the costume’s authenticity.If your little princess doesn’t win the crown while wearing the Toddler Renaissance Maiden Costume, you’ll know the contest was rigged. But it won’t really matter—she’ll still feel like a princess. And she’ll be able to feel that way whenever she wears this costume, whether she’s hosting a tea party for her stuffed animals or taking a much needed nap.

You’d better start thinking up a cool name for it. Maybe Columbusland? Well, maybe we should leave the naming to you…
Living HistoryThe Revolutionary War was such a notable moment in history that the memories still survive to this day. In fact, the memories of this event that happened more than 200 years ago are so fresh that there are said to be many ghosts of the soldiers of the battles to this day. It's said that the people of Boston still hear Paul Revere's horse galloping down what was once a cobblestone road near the Granary Burying Ground.

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!
Founders KeepersWith the Hamilton musical, the founding fathers are really getting a comeback! Now, we're not saying that they are going to show up on the cover of Rolling Stone any time. But in this day and age, it's fascinating to look at what these guys did with very few resources, freedom, and technology. Each founding father played their role. Washington was the military genius that buoyed America's revolution forward. Hamilton was the hardworking idealist. And good ol' Benny. Well, he was the mad scientist turned socialite turned diplomat. When he wasn't hobnobbing with the French to get them to fund our independence seeking war he was inventing ways of preventing disastrous lightning fires or trying to get the idea of bifocals off the ground. And when he wasn't working he was taking one of his infamous "air baths". We won't go into it, the visuals are with us but they don't have to be with you. So when it comes to dressing as a founding father, we all know the Benjamin Franklin is the most entertaining character there is out there even with his receding hairline. pProduct DetailsWhether this costume is for a historical reenactment, a play, or just for fun, you're sure to get in character as soon as you slip it on. The jacket is layered over a full vest and is accented with a cravat tie. The long coat will make you feel official as you make your entrance into both European and American courts. The short pants have an elastic waist, letting your outfit stay tucked in and you remain comfortable. Making HistoryYou'll go down in costume party lore when you show up to any Halloween bash dressed as the gregarious Benjamin Franklin. All you need to do is top off this look with our hilarious receding hairline Benjamin Franklin wig and you'll be ready to spread the word of our new nation. Hey, play your cards right and you might even come up with a few inventions as the evening goes by. Never hurts to step into the shoes of a genius!
A KNIGHT OF WHICH REALM?Just because a martial fighter wears a set of armor doesn't mean that anyone knows anything for sure about them. Without a set of pretty clear heraldry, they could be anybody. And, especially if they pull the helm over their head? Well, then you've got practically zero chance. How else do you think that the lady warriors, lowborn fighters, and royal heirs alike prove themselves in jousts only to reveal their face amidst the gasps of the crowd!?Knights come in all types from the armored assassin, chivalric rider, dragon hunter, or royally anointed ser. But which will you be? Are you part of an order of proud paladins who face down darkness at every turn? Maybe one of those round table knights of Camelot legend! Perhaps you'll be a lone ronin with a tragic and complicated backstory that so few of the monsters you face are willing to wait and listen to... (Or are you just hunting for a shrubbery?)DESIGN & DETAILSNo matter which tale you hold in your heart, you must gird your form with proud armor! Our own smiths suffered apprenticeships with Wayland the Weird, himself, just to ensure that this high-quality and shiny armor would meet your mettle with this Royal Knight Costume. Begin with a tunic of silver mesh worn under a complete set of shiny foam-backed plates that cover your torso, hips, and collar. The matching leg covers fit with elastic while the gloves and helmet finish your knightly armor. Complete the look with your foam pauldrons and the attached red cape and you might not even need your sword and horse! (Who are we kidding? You'll want a sword. The horse might be more difficult to get into the adventuring party.)WHAT'S YOUR KNIGHTLY NAME?Once you've got your flawless knight style and backstory figured out, you will need your name! What title (and how many of them you have) is almost as important as which vicious beasts you've beaten. We recommend something like Ser Belvedere of the Grand Lochs, Champion of the Crusade, Beater of Beasts, and Taker of Names.

I know our costume descriptions are great and all but you could, you know, pick up a book once in a while.)

Ruling the NileEgypt was home to many great rulers in the ancient world. Snefru built the first pyramid. Senusret I ushered in an era of peace and prosperity and helped irrigate Faiyum to provide more farmable land in his kingdom. Yet, none of those pharaohs seem to have made quite the mark in the history books quite like a certain queen that become Egypt’s most well-known figure, Cleopatra. Why is that?Well, we happen to think it’s because Cleopatra is a woman of high ambition! Not only did she date the most powerful and most desirable men of her time period, but she also seized control over the Egyptian throne, because her brother mysteriously died when he held power.
