They're even officially licensed--devil dog approved!
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. Performing a quadrillion just sounds classier than doing the Funky Chicken somehow. Product DetailsTake a turn about the ballroom in this Women's Regency Duchess Costume! Perfect for costume parties, festivals, and more, this outfit includes a floor-length blue gown patterned with a silver floral design. The scoop neckline perfectly complements the high empire waist and the puffy cap sleeves add an extra touch of 19th-Century fashion.

If a man was a Viking, he was tough by definition. Violence was normal, he was most comfortable when forming a shield wall with his tribe. For Vikings, the world was a brutal place. The icy winds of the sea would have been whistling in the ears of the Norsemen since they were babes in the arms of their equally tough mothers. They were handling battle axes as soon as they could tottle around. With that harsh environment, it's no wonder they grew all the hair they could to protect them from the multitude of unforgiving elements, from the cold weather of the Norwegian seaside to the flying debris of the battlefield. You can't transform yourself into a Viking warrior if you ignore the epic long hair and beards of these northerners. The red locks of this wig are typical of people with Norse heritage. All you need now is one of those horned helmets and you're ready for battle. Now, shout it out with your fellow Norsemen, "Shield Wall!"
Waiting for StyleIt's easy to tire oneself of modern technology -- and style. We totally get it. Sometimes even state-of-the-art gadgets and gizmos look like cheap flashy junk. If you're the type of gal that prefers brass, gears, and leather over plastic, LCDs, and wi-fi, then this Burgundy Steampunk Hat is just the accessory you need to reinvigorate your wardrobe before your next retro adventure!What exactly makes something “steampunk?" A lot of times, it's something that you just know when you see it, but there's definitely more to making something steampunk than slapping some valves on it and putting it on board a zeppelin. It's a unique style that fuses Victorian Era fashion and sensibility with the loud, gritty, and dangerous look of the Industrial Revolution, which makes everything appear more exciting! For instance, would you want to drive your boring old car to work everyday if you could pilot a “pneumatic powered quad-wheeled auto-buggy” instead? Even though those are basically the same things, the second one sounds much cooler!Design & DetailsSame goes for this Burgundy Steampunk Hat, whose lacing, feathers, tulle wrap, and beaded details makes it nothing if not cool. The goggles have an elastic band to secure them to the hat, and the one size fits most noggins! Careful up there in the sky, adventurer -- we hear that while the tech has advanced in Steampunkland, the safety measures haven't.
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!
Whofore Art ThouHave you ever wondered who you would be in a Shakespeare play? It's not the type of subject that you can usually take a personality test about. If you're a lovestruck youngin' with a bit of a temper, the obvious choice is Romeo. But Shakespeare wrote about all sorts of other characters. Or perhaps you're the melancholy type, always thinking about the latest conspiracy. In that case, you're Hamlet for sure! Whether you're an ambitious Macbeth or an egotistical King Lear, you're going to need a great hat to help you pull off any iambic pentameter that Shakspeare penned!Product DetailPeople in the Shakspearean era had a whole lot of style! They knew all about playing with silhouettes and rich textures. That's why this Romeo hat is instantly recognized as belonging to his time. This cap has a slight brim, a poufed top, and a brilliant blue feather for a theatrical splash. While this accessory is a great pick for your private costume wardrobe, it also would be a good choice for theater wardrobes as the interior of the cap has a size adjuster. Whether your Romeo has a large head or is rather petite, this Shakspearean cap is a great way to complete your theatrical ensemble!
Dabble in wisdom, craft, war, diplomacy, weaving, poetry, medicine, and commerce much? Yeah, we had an inkling that you did. Well, it's probably time to step things up a level. To not just practice your talents, but, well, to become a goddess. Yeah, you can do it. We know you have it in you!Of course, becoming a goddess like Athena is more than about just having divine skills. Cause girl, you gotta have the look to match! We can help you out with that just a little bit too. We've got this supremely cool women's Athena costume, and it's ready to transform you into one of the ancient Greek gods. (Even if you're still working on your supernatural powers!)Just slip on this dress costume, and you'll be ready to ascend to the top of Mt Olympus. It has everything you need to become goddess-like, and it's even got armor piece accessories so you can be ready to kick a little butt, too. We know it's all fun and games, but we think you should feel ready for action when going in costume like this!A sleek light blue chiffon dress has this costume ensemble looking ancient and pretty stylish too. Just complete the look with the latex molded chestpiece, gauntlets, leg guards, and crown, and you'll be ready to rule the ancient world. It'll be your choice whether to use wisdom or war when you become Athena, but please, whatever you do just remember to have some fun. Not everyone gets to try out becoming a Greek Goddess, after all!
Picking Your BattlesWhen you're fighting for one of the most powerful monarchies in the world, you might not think anyone has a chance. After all, the Brits had the ships, the men, and the highly caffeinated tea. Who can stand up to that? The thing is, any nation can stretch themselves too thin. The British Empire was one of many nations to realize that one government can't rule the whole world. If you want to do the Redcoats a favor at your next costumed event, do your battalion a favor and pick your battles wisely. Don't get mad at that guy who cuts in front of you in traffic, no matter how tough you look in your smart red jacket. But you could totally put your two cents in when two blunderbusses are arguing over musket brands, that's a battle that a soldier like you can win!Design & DetailsOur in-house designers created a quote the dashing, historically inspired look with this British Redcoat Costume. The long coat's front is framed with a black collar with gold buttons and braid on the sides. The collar matches the cuffs for an official style. The look is pulled together with the attached tan vest that buttons up at the center-front, and with a white cravat that fastens around the neck. Layer the chest belt over the jacket/vest combo and wear it with your own pair of white, tan, or gray pants for the full ensemble. Then, just pull boot tops over a pair of black shoes and you'll be ready to represent the British Empire!Trending TroopsRedcoats might not get a lot of play in today's media but we think this look is ready for a comeback. There's no need for them to support colonialism, they can simply represent everything we love about Britain. Like the British baking shows for instance, is there anything more admirable than a polite reality television show? We don't think so. Invest in a powdered wig and a prop scabbard, British invasion is back by popular demand!
Anubis seems like a pretty chill god. He’s not a total blockhead like some of those Greek gods, who spent most of their time backstabbing each other. He mostly just likes to hang out with dead souls and guide them get to their proper place in the land of the dead. He also acts sort of like a bodyguard to the afterlife, since he uses his handy scale to weigh people’s hearts. (He makes sure all the jerks don’t make it in.) If you plan on choosing an Egyptian god to dress up as, then Anubis is your guy… or jackal.Now, you can be the Egyptian deity Anubis! This adult Anubis mask is molded into the shape of a jackal face and has a black front with plenty of gold detailing on the ears. When you wear it, you can hang with the pharaohs or chill with the mummies, because everyone loves the ancient God of the Dead!
Have you noticed your son holding a lot of sway in your household lately? We don't know when that secret election happened either but it seems like your little one's persuasive speeches (aka: bad puppy eye skills) have been influencing the laws of your household. For instance, you hardly even noticed that the law about not having snack in the living room had been overturned until months later when the crumbs and jelly stains began to accumulate. Well, that's politics for you! What mandates will your little man be supporting in the next senate session? The allowance tax is likely to be passed, as is the bedtime ban. If we were in your shoes we'd keep watch over the freezer. It's likely that your little one will lift the embargo on that ice cream. If this type of free trade happens you're likely to open the freezer and find some plastic dinosaurs in place of those ice cream sandwiches that you were hoarding for your chocolate emergency needs. While it's important to keep up an open dialogue with your senator you can't help but feel proud of your witty kid's persuasive skills. For his next costumed event, you might as well celebrate his political success! He'll feel official as the original version of a senator. In a toga and gold laurel headband he might even be inspired to support fairer laws. Maybe the noble sheath of red with the gold lion medallion will influence him in those harsh ice cream trade agreements. From now on you'll get two T-rex figures for one ice cream bar, that's got to be fair, right? Hey, render onto Caeser what outa be Caeser's!
Weapon of a ValkyrieWant to know what the most frightening sight on the battlefield is? It’s Lagertha Lothbrok charging at you full speed with sword and shield in hand! Her ferocity in battle is matched by none and her skill with a sword is a wonder to behold. If she sets her sights on you… well, then you’d better say your prayers to the gods, because you’re not long for this Earth.Of course, we’re not suggesting you go to war with anyone.

You may even want to challenge anyone who tries to invade your home!

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?

Your Hour of PowerIt seems like there was a god or goddess for everything back in the day. Romans and Greeks had goddesses that made sure that plants and gardens were healthy. They believed in a messenger goddess that would paint rainbows in the sky. and let's never forget the handful of goddesses and gods that were involved in hunting and warfare. If you were a Greek Goddess, what would be your area of expertise? Would you be the goddess of inspiring women to seek passive-aggressive yet genius revenge on cheating exes? Maybe you'd be the guardian of Friday nights, inspiring young couples to go on an adventurous bike ride rather than zoning out in front of the tv for the sixth night in a row.

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.

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.

You can invite Cleo to be your date and your rise to power will surely be great as you ascend the costume competition throne!

A Seat at the Round TableGuinevere wasn't only the Queen of Camelot, she was also the queen of interior design. Before she came along, all meeting halls only had long tables where people had to shout battle plans and fighting ideas from one end to the other. The long table that Guinevere gifted to her husband, Arthur, changed meetings up for good. The new design merged aesthetics and meeting logistics and officially opened the way for her to remodel the Camelot castle.As we all know, Camelot ended up being one of the raddest castles of the time. She brightened up the cold, dark stone walls with sprigs of dried flowers and copper accented sconces. Velvet curtains made the bedrooms for all the twenty-five knights of the round table warm and cozy in the winter months. Sometimes people even give her credit for making house plants a thing. It's said she hung Maiden's Hair ferns from the rafters to filter the somewhat filthy Medieval air. Way to go, Gwen!Product DetailsYou'll feel right at home among the cozy tapestries and lush curtains of Camelot when you put on this lovely Guinevere gown. The base fabric is soft with a light sheen. Luxurious gold-trimmed long sleeves fall from the fitted forearms of this ensemble. The wide neckline is accented with a printed floral design while the v-waistline is accented with metallic embroidered trim that falls down the front of the skirt. The look is topped off with a golden crown sporting jewels that match the yellow flowers printed on the bodice. Order in the CourtWith a queen like you around, we're sure all of Arthur's knights are sure to be on their best behavior. No jousting in swordplay in your halls, that's for sure! So whether you're headed to a feast at your local Renaissance Fair, you're in a play, or simply want to look extra dignified for Halloween, you'll slip into the royal role with regal ease in this gorgeous ensemble.
Sophisticated and SanctifiedDid you know that Egyptian pharaohs were considered divine? How could they be anything less? They were well-dressed, adorned with beautiful jewelry, and had the full attention of everyone in their kingdom. Can you imagine the epic parties that the Egyptian gods and goddesses took part in? We can only envision people waving a palm leaf over them while they were being fed grapes and enjoying endless amounts of wine. It probably wasn’t all glamour and parties - what with the constant threat of being overthrown looming large. But still, it would be fun to indulge like a goddess every now and then.Product DetailsWith this Egyptian Goddess costume you can indulge in a little ancient fun this Halloween! This Egyptian Goddess Costume will let you look divine and will have everyone’s attention the second you step into the room!

The bodice of the dress has ruched knit mesh side panels and a matching drape from the back of the waistline. Add the gold faux leather belt for added detail - it is edged with geometric brocade ribbon and has draped knit mesh with a Hook and Loop fastener closure. The forearm sleevelets are gold metallic knit fabric and have drapes of knit mesh sewn along their length. The collar is a semicircle of gold faux leather and is detailed with faux gems.Taking the throneWant to look right at home strutting your stuff in an Egyptian palace?

Then you can order your underlings to begin building your very own pyramid!
THAT 'JUST WOKE UP' LOOKIt can be pretty tough to manufacture a carefree hairstyle. You've got to wake up pretty early to get the right tease to the hair. Just enough curl and frizz but not so much that folks can see the effort that you've put into it. So, when you want to go for a look that's really early, there's even more work that's going to happen. That's especially true if you want to go authentic and only use tools that were available in the stone age. Where is that time machine!? DESIGN & DETAILSYou won't have to worry about jumping through time portals or smashing your hair with rocks when you have this Prehistoric Caveman Beard and Wig accessory. We've done all the work for you to make sure that your locks are incredibly full, curly, and tangled as all get-out. The beard matches and attaches with adhesive and an elastic band. ANCIENT BEDHEADMake sure that you look like you've been napping for a really long time with this wig and beard kit. It's perfect for your prehistoric look but also great for your frazzled wizard, bear-wrestling woods-dweller, or for when Rip Van Winkle finally decides to finish up that 100-year nap!
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!
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. Topping the whole look off, the tricorn hat is not only great for the costume but it will be a favorite accessory for dressing up on an everyday basis!All Revved UpWhen your child is waiting for this historic look to arrive, don't be surprised if they get into history more than ever!

A Knight's DutyBeing a knight is a big responsibility. It's not all just lounging around at the round table and counting up your riches. You have to lead the troops in battle when invading armies storm the castle. You have to make big decisions that affect the whole realm. You also need to ward off evil creatures, like dragons, liches, and goblins. If you're planning on taking on the title of knight, then you'd better be wise, determined, and skilled in the art of warfare. Also, you'd better have an outfit that's worthy of a brave knight!

To finish it all off, this costume comes with a faux leather belt. Put it all together and you can serve the realm with honor and style!Arm ThyselfThink you're ready to battle dragons and lead armies?

...grey-eyed Athena slowed the night when night was most profound... - Homer, The OdysseyMost little girls want to be a princess. They want to be rescued by a handsome prince. They want the fairy tale. But that is all it is, a fairy tale. What they really want is a pretty dress, and a story with dragons, and heroic saviors.Now, don't get us wrong. We would take a pretty dress, and a story with dragons everyday of the week. That would be awesome. But sometimes we want a little more. So does your daughter. She doesn’t just want to be a pretty face. She wants to be a Goddess. A wise, and powerful goddess that doesn’t have to rely on anyone to save her. She wants to be intelligent, and strong. (That doesn't mean she can't also have a pretty dress at the same time.)She can be everything she wants to be. She is already brave, and smart. She fights for what she believes in. Now all she needs is this Child Athena Goddess Costume. It will make her feel like the goddess you already know she is. Yes, it will be a pretty dress, but she will also embody Athena, the Goddess of wisdom. The kind of goddess who doesn’t need a man to save her, because she is also the goddess of war. She might not have stories with dragons, but she will have stories where she defeats Titans. It is better to be wise, and fierce, than to just have a pretty dress.
Beyond CaptainWhy settle for captain? When people talk about colonial age pirate costumes, everyone always talks about being a captain. That's great and all, but why not shoot for higher? There are higher ranks than captain, so maybe it's time to aim for admiral! After all, an admiral gets to command a whole fleet of ships instead of just one.Well, you know what they always say! You need to dress for the job you want, not the job that you have right now. So, if you want to be the admiral of a fleet of ships, then you need to get yourself a snazzy admiral's hat. That's where this Admiral Bicorn Hat comes into play. It has a classic look that will have you ready to command!Product DetailsThis adult bicorn hat recreates the iconic style worn by admirals during the colonial period. It has gold accents and a red and blue emblem on the side of the hat. Just place it on your head and you'll be ready to command your fleet into battle! The hat also looks great with a variety of our historical costumes, so be sure to check them out to craft the perfect look!
Simple SolutionYour gal told you in no uncertain terms that for Halloween, she wants her costume to take her back to simpler times. So you got her a retro 50s poodle skirt costume.

Her grit, determination, and optimism would have been a perfect fit for the pioneering days—maybe that's why she can't wait to relive them!
Take a shot at CamelotDo you think you've got what it takes to make it in Arthur's realm? If there's someone we never forgot from the time of Camelot, it's the lovely queen of Arthur, Guinevere. Different versions of the Arthurian legends all tell varying tales of the queen. Some praise her great beauty, telling of the many times she was abducted (always a great opportunity to tell brave knightly tales). Other tales describe her as a powerful sorceress who knew the future. Some even go as far to say that she was one of three goddess sisters, meant to ensure the prosperity of Britain. You see, Guinevere is a complicated figure in history. Is she some helpless lovely royal for whom a round of kidnapping is routine? Or perhaps she's a powerful goddess type who ensured the health and wealth of the realm. All we know for sure is that she gave Arthur the legendary round table, one of the most famous interior design decisions there ever was!Product DetailsWhether you decide you're simply a wise and beautiful monarch or you're going the Guinevere the sorceress route, you'll love the graceful design of this gown. The fitted sleeves have dramatic draping gold-trimmed fabric attached. The top has a wide neckline that's framed with printed gold flowers. The waist is belted with a metallic embroidered belt that drapes down to the hem. The skirt is long, flowing with your movements as you walk through the hallowed halls of Camelot. And of course, it's topped with a lovely gold toned crown. You are a queen, after all!Call it a KnightWithout Guinevere around, we doubt all of Arthurs knights would have been so well behaved in Camelot. Take the realm into your hands with this gorgeous look. Whether you're encountering knights, kings, or even commoners, this look is sure to summon up plenty of respect. We're certainly ready to bow down!

Delaware River ReadyWashington was a founding father and the first president of this country but he also looked pretty great in epic scenarios. That could be because of his perfectly coiffed wig.

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.
This is Sparta!King Leonidas has quite a problem. Greece's greatest enemies, the Persians, are trying to invade! He's going to need to gather up as many of his countrymen as possible to protect his beloved homeland. He knows he'll need the help of the mighty Spartan warriors, but will they be able to crawl over to the battlefield in time to join into the fray? Or will they over-sleep during naptime and miss the whole thing?Leonidas calls his men to sound the alarm and shake the battle rattles, alerting everyone to the critical situation. He wishes he could send out messengers with information about what's going on, but he hasn't learned to write yet, and he's sure the rest of the troops haven't learned to read yet, anyway. This is a terrible predicament! As the Persian forces draw nearer, Leonidas knows time is running out, and he has no idea how to rally his army to victory or even escape himself. With the rest of his options exhausted, there's only one thing left for him to do: He throws himself onto the ground and starts crying as loudly as he can, hoping that his mommy will come fast and fix everything.Product DetailsMake your baby battle-ready with this adorable Infant Silly Spartan Costume.

Making a MarkThink about it. With nothing more than a few bolts of cloth, some thread, and some nimble fingers, Betsy Ross created one of the most iconic symbols in all of American history. It's had a few updates since the very first flag was crafted in 1776, but the basic design remains mostly unchanged since then. After all, why mess with perfection, right? She was one of the first women to leave their mark in America and we think that's pretty cool!

Finally, the white hat brings the whole look together by giving you a colonial style that looks like it came straight from the American Revolution!Perfect for July 4th!If you love history, then you might want to recreate the iconic moment when Betsy created the first U.S. flag! Of course, this costume also works great if you plan on celebrating the 4th of July, or as an outfit for the plays and pageants! Just be sure to pair this costume up with a classic American Flag (not included) to finish the look.
Be the God of the SeaBeing the ruler of the oceans and seas seems like a pretty decent gig. After all, being the god who controls the seas means that you get to spend a ton of time relaxing on the beach. Just think about that! You get to be the king of surfing waves and drinking tropical fruit drinks while you lay around on a beach towel. You get to be master of challenging the pantheon of Greek gods to a game of volleyball. You probably could even get the honorary title of Marco Polo champion.Yes, being the Greek “God of the Sea” certainly must come with its perks. It’s really quite a shame that you weren’t born into the pantheon… but maybe there’s another way for you to enjoy being the ruler of the sea.Design & DetailsThis adult Poseidon costume turns you into the one and only master of the seas.

By why just take a swim when you can rule the entire ocean? Okay, so this Poseidon costume might not actually give you ownership of the world's waves, but you sure will look the part, and we think you'll definitely impress everyone you meet, especially the goldfish!
Deadly HandsomeFirst of all, don't panic. As a smart, persistent archaeologist, you've spent years and years researching your hunches and convincing the world that a forgotten pharaoh's tomb has yet to be discovered. Finally - finally! - you've gotten some attention and funding and are able to prove your theory. But wait! Just as you've brushed the last bit of desert sand from a hidden door bearing the name "Tutankhamun," a close friend runs panting to your side, shouting for you to stop. Don't you know, he asks, that all pharaohs' tombs are cursed? Well, yes. They are cursed. That's true. However, good old King Tut isn't the unleash-the-mummy's-fury kind of guy. He's lonely and bored, and eager for some well-deserved fame. In gratitude for uncovering his tomb, he's decided to confer on you a different kind of curse - the curse of being irresistably attractive to any woman you meet!

All that attention can be overwhelming at times, but we think you'll manage!
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!
Cross the Delaware - Or the BathtubThe Father of our Country is an amazing historical figure, but do you know who else would have been happy to fill his shoes? Your toddler! We bet your little one could do several of the things that our national hero did over the course of his career. Chop down a cherry tree with a toy axe? Your little one did that yesterday to your favorite rosebush. Scout out the land as a surveyor and go for weeks without seeing civilization? Your toddler has a habit of disappearing and returning wearing enough dirt to look like he went on a month-long expedition. Lead a brand-new country into an age of prosperity? Your toddler could do that easily, but there would be a lot more resolutions to abolish school on sunny days and protocols about greeting visiting diplomats with fart noises.Design & DetailsTech geniuses and teens bitten by spiders aren't the only superheroes out there - say hello to a classic hero when your little one wears this exclusive George Washington Costume for Toddlers! The golden vest front and white ascot look splendidly presidential under the long, velvety blue jacket with its gold trim, shiny buttons, and fringed epaulets decorating its shoulders. The fitted jersey-knit pants look suitably dashing under a pair of gold-edged boot tops and the foam-backed bicorn hat looks so good that it makes the King of England think twice about his own crown.Fit for a PresidentYour toddler will love the cheers he gets when he dresses as one of America's greatest heros! Even though his costume might get him some sweet perks, we do not recommend that he impose a tax on his friends' Halloween candy. That would be an abuse of power.
Hello Spartans! No ancient warrior is safe when a Spartan soldier is around, and neither is their empire!

Battle isn't all about offense there, buster.

What are kings up to these days? They might have nice cars, live in mansions, and wear golden watches. They might employ suited up men with earbuds. The thing is, even if a king gets driven in a nice car these days that automobile is nothing compared to a golden chariot. That fancy mansion isn't much compared to alabaster columns. Really, just take a gander at the pyramids, they are just the king's graves! So, yeah. When we're talking about kings, we know who did it best!You may have heard about Tutankhamun, Ramesses, and Amenhotep being supreme rulers and sure, they all lived a pretty lush lifestyle. They were followed by guys in skirts who constantly fanned him with palm frons. They were seen as Gods with large headdresses, makeup to the max, and crazy stiff beards. But even with all of that pomp and circumstance, none of those pharaohs could rock the Casbah like this guy- paleontologists have translated the hieroglyphs on his epitaph as Partyonman. The name fits, this King had the sweetest party pyramid in all of the land, a golden tube in his burial chamber hints that he might have invented the first beer bong. Quite a legacy!You won't have trouble convincing underlings to carry you into parties when you're wearing this costume. It includes a sleeveless pullover, gold trimmed tank with a gold trimmed skirt. You'll also get a royal headdress, gauntlets, and a faux leather medallion with a jewel on a necklace. You'll feel like solid gold and you'll look like a king but not just any ruler, King Partyonman!
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!
