15th Century SurpriseMedieval times used to be pretty wild. People believed in witches, unicorns, and sea monsters that lingered on the unknown borders of the map. Rampant disease made sure that the kings in power were always changing, causing all sorts of wars and skirmishes. Still, in all this chaos, people were shocked when a young woman in France demanded an army to defend the French throne. Somehow, she was taken seriously. She led victorious battle after battle while she was still a teenager. We cringe to think about what we were up to at 18. Not breaking society's standards and taking hundreds of lives into our hands, that's for certain!Costume DetailsThis lightweight version of Joan of Arc's armor will have your kiddo feeling tough even though it's made of lightweight fabric. The costume features sleeves and pants with a chainmail printed pattern that won't weigh a kid down. A long blue tunic is layered over top with a Fleur de Lis printed on the front. A wide silver collar is just stiff enough to make your kiddo look ready for whatever battle comes her way! That's Oui, not WeeYour kid's capacity to amaze you is always taken to new heights. Who knows what she could accomplish if she was a medieval peasant called to the front. Luckily, that's not going to happen these days. But your child might still surprise you once she's in her Joan of Arc armor. Gone is the mac and cheese-loving scribble fiend you once knew. Now, your little one is a powerhouse! Complete this look with a sword and shield set and a few smudges of charcoal on her face for a dirty, battle-worn look to make sure that everyone else knows that your Joan of Arc is ready to take on the world!

For a costume, though, these will add the perfect final touch.
Big Sky Day DreamsCan you imagine what it would have been like to be a child on the prairies, traveling with a covered wagon convoy? A journey by wagon was shaky and uncomfortable so women and children walked along with the oxen, running wild with children from the other families, dogs nipping at their heels, keeping them together.

It's said that the grass of the prairies was long and endless, the wind would make it blow back and forth like waves in the ocean.

Cleopatra is revered for her beauty to this day. But did you know she was a master of pageantry too? Case in point, in 41 BC Cleopatra had an appointment to meet the triumvir Mark Antony. Now, we’ve all had meetings. If we really feel like putting on airs we might put on a little makeup, do something classy with our hair, even paint our nails. But Cleopatra had a golden barge with purple sails and silver oars made just for the occasion, and she rode up to the Roman beneath a gilded canopy while her servants fanned her and burned sweet incense around her. Needless to say, Antony was rather impressed. Think about that next time you need to make a great first impression.This shoulder length bob with bangs is another fine way to make a great impression. If you’re shooting for the Cleopatra look, it’s impossible to overdo it -- the pharaoh wasn’t known for her subtlety. This wig also works for Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction!

King of an Ancient RealmWe hear all about Greek and Roman gods all the time. We get it. Mount Olympus. Thunderbolts. But what is up with the Egyptian gods? What's going on with those immortal dudes? You might know a few basics. There's Anubis, the jackal-headed fella who judged newly expired souls. Then there's the diva, Isis. She was a boss, a healer and giver of life she also inspired mummies! That's right, without this strong woman there would be no mummies or mummy curses. Now, there are plenty more impressive deities but they all had one thing in common.

Kid TutIt’s not easy being the Pharaoh of the civilized world. Sure, the ultimate power is nice, but it’s hard too, you know. You don’t see the Grand Vizier having to do algebra homework. You don’t see the High Priest of Amun-Ra being told to eat all his peas before he can have dessert. But when it comes to you, expectations are unbelievably high.If the King of Nubia wasn’t such a doody head big booger-breath, you wouldn’t have such a hard time getting along. But ever since he tattle-taled on you for running by the pool, you’ve had a chip on your shoulder when it comes to international relations affairs with his people.Furthermore, the Persians have been making aggressive moves in the Northeast. You haven’t told your mom about it yet because you don’t want to seem like a baby, but the Kind of Persia is really being a mean butt. No, you don’t have it easy. People just don’t understand how hard it is to rule the richest, most powerful kingdom in the world and go to school at the same time.Product DetailsThis Kid’s Egyptian Tunic Costume is a fitting costume for the ruler of all Egypt. The stylish foam headband with its molded vinyl cobra can be worn with or without the accompanying striped veil, as the Pharaoh desires. The belt has fabric ties and the most opulent faux leather and brocade ribbon draping on the front. The large rectangular crushed velvet can be draped in many ways across the broad shoulders of the Lord of the Nile, or the less-broad shoulders of the Lady of the Nile. The Pullover tunic has cap sleeves to give Pharaoh that extra oomph that he needs to have confidence in the morning.Where’s my mummy?He did it! The King of Persia pushed you in the hallway on the way to Social Studies. As you sit back against the lockers and feel the rage rise within you, you cry out in a loud voice, “I summon my Mummy!” Out of the nearby janitorial supply closet stumbles a humanoid creature covered in bandages and wielding a great staff of power. The King of Persia stumbles back and runs down the hallway screaming. “Thanks, Mr. Janitor,” you say, “now I’ve gotta get to class before the bell!”
We can only imagine what the world would be like if steam power had turned out to be the last word in transportation and energy production. Which is good, because we really want to believe it would be just like all those steampunk novels we've read, in which a cunning heroine uses her engineering skills and mechanical-mindedness to create a clever new invention that saves the world from certain doom. Come to think of it, that's a pretty specific vision for the way things might have someday been. But at least it sounds stylish and full of adventure, even in the present day! Of course, real-life technology has been drifting away from smokestacks, paddle wheels, gears, and sprockets for some time, now. So to truly live the dream of an intrepid tinkerer, a girl is going to need a top-of-the-line time machine, and possibly an advanced degree in applied science. Or she could just do what most people do when they're nostalgic for the retro-future: put on a great-looking costume like this one!This kids costume combines a modified Victorian-era dress with some essential steampunk touches, like machined details and a pair of geartooth goggles. Layering the functional look of leather straps atop the frills of high fashion, this outfit makes for a unique look that's well-suited to any kind of brainstorm session or gizmo-seeking excursion. Once she's all suited up, we're sure she'll feel more than ready to put her skills to the test!

The foam backed wrist bands slide easily over the hands.The Sun God Needs a NapBeing a country's exalted leader is tiring business! You have to sit through plenty of state events so that the masses can get a glimpse of your adorable self. In addition, you're still doing the all-important business of cutting teeth, discovering that your feet are attached to your body, and determining which of your fingers is most delicious. It's no wonder that Pharaoh sometimes gets really cranky and passes out on his official handlers. Fortunately, Pharaoh snuggles are some of the best in the world. Lucky the vassal who gets to minister to him!
A fiesty first lady"Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of husbands. Remember all men would be tyrants if they could."Dang! Abigail Adams didn't pull any punches, did she? Actually, this fiesty first lady made a reputation for herself as one of the most eloquent figures in the early history of the United States, and that's pretty impressive when her husband, John Adams, was known as one of the best letter writers (kind of like history's bloggers) of the period. Some historians even say Abigail was a better writer than her husband, and she didn't have half the chances at a fancy education that he did. So, you go, girl!There are plenty of role models to choose from when it comes to America's First Ladies, but we think Abigail Adams is one of the best.

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

This is kind of embarrassing, but we first knew Leonardo da Vinci as that one painter guy that one of the Ninja Turtles was named after (hey, we're no history experts here). We did a little research and it turns out that he's one pretty cool dude. He painted some awesome pieces, like the Mona Lisa and he even sketched up some plans for a helicopter. Of course, technology back then wasn't like it is today, so most people probably just thought he had his head in the clouds. Oh, and did we mention that he had some wild hair and a beard? Now, you can get his Renaissance-man style with ease!This Da Vinci Wig brings you the look of the Italian artist (not the Ninja Turtle). The wig features some synthetic silvery locks that will have you looking like a genius from the Renaissance, so make sure to have that paint brush ready!

Instead, you throw on a wig that looks pretty close to your real hair! Super smart - and Regency gentlemen did it all the time. Product DetailsSay hello to nobility-worthy hair without the struggle of styling it when you wear this Men's Brown Regency Wig!

How does a post-apocalyptic coachman travel to his next steam engine convention? Why, in top-notch steampunk style, of course!We have to admit, we do not always fully “get” the steampunk aesthetic. Cerebrally, it just doesn’t make sense--is it the look of the future, or of the past? But not getting it doesn’t stop us from loving it! It’s so cool.

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.
Who Wants to Be King?!Having your father return from his year-long, self-imposed exile is a pretty big deal. There is no easy way to welcome the king back after a long absence following a terrible defeat. Maybe the best thing to do is simply challenge him to single combat right then and there?Well, that is a fight that no one in their right mind would willingly take on. No one wants to be the one who killed Ragnar Lothbrok! Even more, Bjorn really loved his father, so that wasn’t likely to be his path anyway.Product DetailsGrowing up with famous parents has a lot of baggage attached to it, but at least you get to wear awesome armor like this Adult Plus Size Vikings Bjorn Ironside Costume!

Battlefield to BoardroomClara Barton is one of the most iconic nurses in history. It's no wonder, she bravely marched into battlefields to take care of wounded soldiers during the Civil War. Not only did she save lives with her own hands, but she also empowered many women after her to follow in her footsteps. After the war in the US, she traveled the world and advocated for the protection of sick and wounded soldiers by all sides during wartime. And once she got back home, Clara Barton helped found the American Red Cross, where she served as president until she was 83 in 1904. Just imagine how strong a woman would have to be to hold such an important position in a time when women weren't even allowed to vote!Design & DetailsOur in-house design team took care to add plenty of historic details into this Made By Us Clara Barton costume. They created a silhouette that would look right at home in the 1860s with billowing sleeves and a floor-length skirt with a built-in petticoat. At the same time, they've added handy modern shortcuts to make slipping back into time easier such as a zipper up the back and elastic around the wrists. To make you ready to serve as the Battlefield angel, the costume is complete with white cuffs that slip over the dress sleeves and a matching broadcloth apron with a proud red cross on the chest. A neat bonnet completes the look, making sure you'll look right at home in a 19th-century medical tent! Historical MedicineIt took a real tough cookie to face medicine back in the day. These days we've got miracles such as Asprin and anti-biotics and handwashing on our side. Are you ready to take on a brave and iconic role? Do it in skirts with this Made By Us Clara Barton costume!
Some people put on a polo shirt and a name tag when they go to work. Other guys like Maximus Decimus Meridius, well, they put on a frightening armor and grab a sword. Yes, his line of work involves fighting against hordes of enemies in the ring and a polo shirt with a laminated name tag just doesn't strike fear into blood-crazed foes. A mask that looks like iron death does though!Introducing this fully licensed General Maximus Helmet from the Ridley Scott film, Gladiator! The molded latex mask full recreates the one worn by Russell Crowe, complete with intimidating spikes on the top and pronounced facial features. It might not turn you into a master of arms, or a combat specialist, but it does make you look tough enough to take on a lion with your bare hands. You can pair it with any of our Gladiator costumes to get the best of your opponent inside the Colosseum.
TIME TO SEE THOSE TOESIf you're like most, when you get home after a long day (at the office, field, or quarry), the first thing you do is rip those danged shoes off and sigh in the blissful anguish of releasing your feet into the world. But, what's next after recovering!? You want to stay barefoot but what about the chill of linoleum or the flat stone of your earthen home? What about making a mark on your social circles? What about that nasty question of whether you can even see your toes?FUN DETAILSWell, we've got the perfect solution to all those uncertainties with these wondrous Men's Cavemen Feet! These flesh-colored slippers provide the best of both worlds of comfort and perfectly defined toenails.

Take one look at these shining tootsies and you'll swear off "real shoes" until the next era.
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. Or you could head out to fight people who want to post spoilers to popular television shows before anyone can even get to the end of the episode. Ready for your modern quest? You're going to need a modern lady knight costume to make it work!Product DetailsThis costume is both tough and chic with a sleek dress that has faux leather accents to make you look ready for a fight.

The look is polished off with a metallic helmet headpiece, silver gauntlets, and a faux leather belt to make sure you're battle-ready. Say It With Your ShieldWant to make your outfit yours? We think this costume would look great with a sword and shield combo. Then, whenever anyone brings up a subject you don't want to talk about, raise the shield so they know that it's off limits. No matter what battle you might be fighting, you'll look ready for anything. Want to make this into a group's costume?

Wow did you see that beefcake? He was totally a gladiator! So, they might not be thrown in the Colosseum to fight any more, but those burly boys still need a little protection. The hunky gladiator needs his sword, a hot bod, and wrist guards for fighting off dragons (or whatever they fight off). Their mission is different every time. Some days it's helping people retrieve cats from trees, others it is fighting off evil. The days of gladiators are full of adventure. The Men's Gladiator Cuff is the perfect accessory for your next gladiator costume. Whether it be for LARPing or just Halloween the metal gold colored wrist cuff is a perfect accessory to show off your skills. Pick up your sword and helmet and get ready to impress with your sweet gladiator look.
No Victorian gentleman would be caught dead without their hat! The type of hat they wore usually depended on where they lived, which in the United Kingdom and American East Coast was probably a bowler. It has since become the trademark symbol of a true dapper English gent, and, believe it or not, was also pretty popular in the Wild West. If you think about it, a cowboy hat is basically just a bigger bowler with a wider brim. Who says cowboys can't look classy? These days, bowlers may not be the big fashion accessories they once were, but they can still add some very dashing style to your ensemble. Next time you are dressing up for a fancy party, try this Black Velour Bowler Hat on for size. It would look very proper with a black suit and tie. Or, if you're feeling like experimenting with new styles, see if you can pull off this bowler hat look with your every day outfits!
Gentlemen, Lend Me Your SpearsThe mythology of Greeks and Romans wouldn't be much without the drama of the gods. They really went out of their way to show the danger of having too much time on their hands. Immortality will do that to you. The gods often occupied centuries of their lives with petty competitions. And it's not like they bowed out with grace either, Poseidon cursed Athens with drought when they preferred Athena's gift of an olive tree to the sea god's gift of a salty, useless stream.Speaking of Athena, she was pretty great at setting mortals against each other for petty reasons. Now that we think about it, all the Gods and Goddesses weren't above that. No wonder why training for war was so important to the Greeks and Romans. Luckily for them, they had outfits that were both fashionable and easy to fight in. Want to raise up an army this Halloween? Folks are sure to join your battalion in no time, no enemies needed!Product Details & DesignThis lovely Made-By-Us wrap dress will make you look right at home in the arena of a Colosseum. The brilliant white dress zips up the back and has faux leather accents with gold stamped leaf print. The white is accented with geometric gold trim. You'll also get a belt that secures with a hook and eye strip at the back and flexible gauntlets that cover your forearms, making you ready for anything the gods might throw at you!Fighting for FridaysHaving a good time is all but guaranteed in this sleek ensemble. And since it's designed by our company, you'll be able to wear this look again and again. Good thing, cause you'll want to wear this to themed events as well as Halloween. Throw on some gladiator sandals and call up Dionysus, it's time to fight the fun fight this weekend!
What we do in life... echoes in eternity.So says General Maximus at the beginning of the classic Ridley Scott film, Gladiator. While that is some expertly written and memorable dialogue, we hope it's also a true statement. But we have no idea! What do we look like, metaphysicists?? We don't know what happens in eternity! But if our life echoes within it, we're glad you're taking a look at this officially licensed General Maximus costume, because it's epic enough to wear forever.The only thing we'd advise against is getting into any actual Roman battles wearing this thing. It's made of latex and not metal as it appears. That being said, you could probably frighten some barbarians with it, but we don't really recommend that either. That would require a costly trip to Germany, and also a time machine to around 180AD. That's also where you'd have to go to get the real version of this armor. Since that technology doesn't exist, we think our version is an amazing first realistic choice!Since this costume has incredible details and quality (How about that realistic armor and fur trimmed cape? It's straight out of the movie!) we think you should go to a party, wait for the exact right moment, then step up into the spotlight and give an incredible, awe-inspiring speech to all your fellow party-goers. That's what Maximus would do! You'll be remembered in poetry and song as the greatest general Rome had ever seen... to give a rousing speech while holding a red Solo cup."Brothers! What we drink tonight... will echo in our bodies tomorrow, and possibly eternity!"*drink responsibly

Time for Some Tea and Civilized Conversation"U up? Wyd?" Ugh, no thanks. Leave the texting era behind and go back to a time where the rules of civility were stylish and you could dress up as much as you like. It's not as though we want to get rid of indoor plumbing, air conditioning, and espresso machines, but it would be nice to be able to go to a ball - or more than one! - every season.

Northern NightmareThey strike when least expected, sailing silently in their longboats straight up to the very doorstep of an unwitting settlement. Their battle cries chill the blood and freeze the heart as they plunder their way through the land and leave when they've seized as much treasure as they could find.

Redesigning a DynastyIf you could redesign all the wonders of ancient Egypt would you change anything about their design? We realize that it's a bit blasphemous to critique these ancient wonders but that's just because we're looking at history through rose-colored sunglasses. The Sphinx is cool and everything but the thing is, as a half-cat the Sphinx has probably been pretty bored through the centuries. A pharaoh like you could have had his people sculpt a ball of string between the paws of the Sphinx to keep the calm creature calm through the ages. Maybe the Sphinx would have even thrown a few blessings down on your reign. Either way, it would be pretty awesome to head back to ancient times to see the pyramids in all their glistening marble sided glory and float through the green glories of the Nile. But if you're planning on a time travel coup, you're going to need the right costume!Product Details & DesignThis Made-By-Us look is sure to make you look right at home in the palaces of ancient Egypt! Our designers put together this awesome look with a dashing gold, turquoise, and black color scheme. The tunic zips up the back to make transforming into a regal entity easy. The tunic is accented with a gold belt with a geometric panel down the front. You'll also get three gold armbands and the gold and black striped headpiece that will mark you as royalty. The Egyptian PerscriptionIf you're longing for the days of Ancient Egypt, you're sure to love this show-stopping costume! Team up with Nefertiti or Egyptian deities like Anubis or Isis and you'll be able to relive the Egyptian golden era in style. We're so ready to see you roll out your new ideas for the ancient world. It's about time ancient wonders popped up in our new millennium!
