Pretty and PracticalSteampunk is one of those styles that is hard to define but easy to identify. It’s an interesting and beautiful idea of what the world could have been like or what it might be like someday. One of our favorite things about the steampunk genre is how it blends the practical with the pretty. Not only do those cogs on your goggles help them adjust to your head, but they also look awesome! Brass, which is often the metal of choice in steampunk creations, is certainly shiny and pleasant to look at, but it’s also significantly antimicrobial.Product DetailsIf the rest of your steampunk outfit can be useful while looking good, why can’t your boots be the same? These Women’s Steampunk Boots are the perfect thing to pair with your dress or suit! High heels have their time and place, but when you need reliable, non-slip footwear, boots are the shoes to choose from. They have two colors of faux leather to match either a brown or black scheme, and three functional pockets for all your bits and baubles. You’ll love to wear this practical (in more ways than one) pair of boots on all your adventures!
Whether your little girl hopes to ring in Halloween parading around the Colosseum as an admired empress or she hopes to trick-or-treat atop Mt. Olympus as a Greek Goddess, she can feel like the crème de la crème of the ancient world with nothing more than a quick and simple costume change. How magical! This elegant and ethereal Ancient Roman Empress Costume is an ideal look for your resident young historian and lover of all of life’s finer things. She already spends hours a day pouring over accounts of ancient events, watching documentaries from bygone eras, brushing up on her Greek mythology, and then quizzing you on it (Do you know the Greek god of blacksmiths, sculptors, fire, and volcanoes? We didn’t think so…) But you also may not know that the female figures of ancient times were not “all beauty and no brains”--nope. These wives of emperors, women of status, and of course, the goddesses, were all powerful people in their own right--just like your little girl!So it's high time to crown her the goddess of Halloween and empress of your living room, letting her live out her destiny in this pretty costume. The pink and gold accents of this dress and headband will tickle her fancy and have her feeling like Greek divinity faster than she can say "Aphrodite." This costume is perfect for Halloween and imaginative play--and she may even look forward to going to the Roman baths to scrub up at the end of the night!
Et Tu, Brute? Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears. We come not to bury Caesar but to celebrate his fantastic sense of style. Imagine all the things that Julius Caesar accomplished in his lifetime. He led a the mightiest of armies. He named himself dictator of the Roman Empire. He conquered Gaul - not that Gaul's natives appreciated this acheivement. "We were FINE, Caesar!" they said. "Go open your national smoothie chain somewhere else!" Or something like that. None of these successes can compare to the fact that he made a breastplate, a man-skirt, and knee-high, lace-up sandals look good. People are still wearing his footwear thousands of years later. That's a real victory! Product Details Your subjects will be in awe of your lordly threads when you wear your Julius Caesar men's costume! The sleeveless polyester jersey is pullover-style, because ain't nobody got time to work buttons when they're leading a military charge or running from 60 murderous Roman senators. A red satin cape billows impressively behind you as you stride across the battlefield. It attaches to a gold collar that's printed with some awe-inspiring winged lions and filigree detail. Matching armbands keep you protected while you battle and the accompanying gold laurel is perfect for encircling your noble brow. If you really want to be daring, nix the shirt! Nothing says confidence like a Roman dictator. Ruler, Conqueror, Fashion TrendsetterYou're all that and more! Embrace the daring and devil-may-care duds of one of history's greatest warriors as you claim your destiny (we hope it includes plenty of glory and very few pointy knives). Strut into the Senate with your head held high. Unless it's the Ides of March - then staying home and watching TV is the name of the game!
What happens when every cantankerous cowpoke, every grimy gunslinger and depraved desperado wants to come to your party to wet their whistle? Why, you give them exactly what they want pardner, 'cept we reckon you give it to them with a little more attitude. We reckon you ought to serve those rowdy varmints a taste of surly with that whiskey.It takes a particular type of hombre to serve the rough and tumble cowboy types of the Wild West. Those boys have spent a whole day riding horses, roping cattle and protecting the ranch from bandits, so the only way to serve them is with an attitude and look as rough as their own countenance. That means slamming a shot of whiskey down on the bar while staring at them with a cold hard grimace. It also means wearing the kind of hard Wild West outfit that shows them that you're a man of true grit too. You need something a little like this exclusive costume we have here...Based on a classic look you'd find in a saloon in Tombstone, Arizona, this Old West Bartender Costume will have you looking tough enough to serve any kind of rough customer. It's the plus sized version of our classic bartender costume, so larger-sized cowboys can fit into it no problem. The shirt and vest combo have a classy, yet stern look about them. And these pieces are made of oxford cloth and worsted. That's some sturdy fabric there, pardner. That'll stand up to a bar-room scuffle without tearing apart, so you can toss any rowdy troublemaker out of your saloon without worrying about your shirt ripping. That's something any cowpoke can appreciate.
Don't Make Eye ContactThis might sound weird, but have you ever been at a museum or in a decorated garden and felt as though the statues were... watching you? They seem lifeless and vacant, but you could have sworn you felt eyes on the back of your neck before you turned to look. Also, that statue was farther away before, wasn't it? Oh, dear. This might not be good. Product DetailsYou'll be an unsettling sight in this exclusive Scary Sullen Statue Mask for Adults! The unisex silvery mask conceals your entire head and most of your neck. It's molded to look like a blank-faced statue with carved hair. Eye holes allow you to (sort of) see where you're going. So Much Yikes Landscaping usually makes home property value go up, but we doubt that this mask would have the same effect. If you stood in someone's yard, people might assume that Medusa lives there, or that the statue uprising has finally begun. It was bound to happen someday.
Raising a PharaohIt must be hard to raise a king. King Tut became the ruler of Egypt at the tender age of 9. Do you think his advisors had to scold him to eat his vegetables?

To the modern eye, the ancient Greek pantheon might look a little silly decked out in those archaic robes.

Not unless you have a really great outfit!And if you manage to join the ranks of the other great-looking humans who have successfully infiltrated the gods' inner circle, try not to go crazy with all of that power, okay?

We really don't want to have to beg for mercy. Not again!

Mystery at Grimshaw HallThe life of a noble maiden is usually pretty quiet. Days were spent sewing and wandering through the gardens and evenings were spent in the hall, listening to the harpsichord. That's what Lizbeth was expecting when she came to live in Grimshaw Hall. But the first night, she heard someone crying from the floor above her chamber. When she asked, her lady's maid insisted that she couldn't hear anything. A week later, she heard the sound again. This time she went to investigate. Bringing along her lady's maid, she crept along the dark halls of the manor. They snuck along the staircase, her lady's maid pulling at her skirts, asking to turn back before every corner.

People would have to bow down to your mighty rule, no matter how crazy your demands were!

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!
Plenty of powerful women have made their mark on history. Zenobia conquered Europe and even had the guts to stand up to the Roman Empire. Empress Wu Zetian expanded education and increased economic prosperity in China during her tenure. Amy Schumer proved that women are way better at gross-out humor than guys! Of course, few women hold the kind of reverence as the fiercely intelligent and classically beautiful Cleopatra.From an early age, all the way to her death, she truly broke the mold of what society thought a woman should be. She used her sharp wits to wrestle control of Egypt away from her brother. She snuck herself into the presence of Julius Caesar, cleverly hiding herself within a rug being delivered to him. She commanded her naval forces with deft precision during the Battle of Actium. She did all this with elegance and style. Even Shakespeare, a man born centuries after her untimely death, was enamored with her story. Now, you can step into her alluring shoes with this Cleopatra costume for women.Now, we can’t guarantee that any fancy English playwrights will craft a tale of your exploits while wearing this exclusive plus size Cleopatra costume, but it will make you feel like a regal figure ready to rule over her subjects! The costume comes with an elegant gold dress, complete with shimmering details fit for a pharaoh. It also has beige accents and colorful designs along the bust. It even comes with a beige cape.

Scene: an awesome costume party of your choice.Enter you, wearing this tunic/toga combo, behind your friend Jerry—both fashionably late.Jerry: “Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to you with the life of the party!"...Can you imagine a more appropriately dramatic Shakespearean entrance? If you have access to a team of steeds, a golden chariot, and a dozen Roman soldiers for escort, you could... Oh, you don't? Well, you could clear the punch and pretzels from the dining room table, call over an impromptu audience, and project onto your makeshift stage a hologram of the bard himself William Shakespeare to narrate your... Ugh, that won't work either?Alright, well how about this: we will provide the costume, then let you discover how best to boast of your famous exploits as the ruler of Rome. With our Plus Size Caesar Costume, you will already have a great start at recreating the royal Roman look, with gold sequin trim on the long off-white tunic, a metallic gold ribbon belt, and of course a gold-tone foil crown.

That said, you need only don this costume, let loose your introductions, and have Jerry set the mood: “Mischief, thou art afoot. Take thou what course thou wilt!”
BITESIZE ANCIENT HISTORYWe can hear you, already. "Not another history lesson!?" Well, just wait! Don't run off. This is going to be a quick and easy one that we're sure you're going to love! (And, you can't run, anyway. We've latched the doors and set up all sorts of ingenious traps to keep you around.) See, the thing about history is that there's just so much of it. It gets too huge to handle. That's why we're going to break up the history of all time into little, easy-to-handle chunks!There's something about little versions of things that are somehow super cute, too. Take the real-life "boy king" of Egypt. Tutankhamun was only nine when he took over an entire dynasty and even managed to keep the title until he grew up! It was pretty commonplace that folks would worship the Pharaohs after they were gone, but ancient Egyptians were loving King Tut while he was alive. Obviously, that's because they couldn't contain the adorable "awwws!" DESIGN & DETAILSBring the legend to life and make history once again when you transform your tot into Tut with this exclusive Egyptian Pharaoh Costume. Our team of designers moonlighted as archeologists for months to put together this high-quality look of dark black and gleaming gold. The short-sleeve tunic falls beyond the knee and matches the inner lining of the gold and black-striped headpiece. Shiny black fabric makes up the collar, cuffs, and the belt, though it is the hieroglyphics printed on the belt that really sell the look! THE YOUNGEST PHARAOH YET!King Tut made ancient fame for having the nicest pyramid to date and being the youngest kiddo to rule. But, time for the crown to pass to an even younger generation with your toddler! This Pharaoh Costume is bound to get way more attention than some old 18th Dynasty fuddy-duddy!
Old SchoolIs your girl old school? No, like really old school. We’re not talking neon bracelets, fanny packs, and teased hair kind of old school. We’re talking making candles, churning butter, and watching knights joust. Maybe she even uses archaic phrases like “ye olde” and “huzzah” around the house! Perhaps she’s even been complaining about the king and his blasted taxes! Yes, your little girl has a penchant for all things Renaissance, so it’s only natural that you’d want to take her to the Renaissance Festival this year.

But you know how it goes. We, humans, are always expected to top our last achievement. Your little party animal wanted a theme that was out of the ordinary this year.

Does not come with Big StickTeddy Roosevelt is the least presidential o all the presidents. In our opinion, that's one of his best qualities. He wasn't stuck up, in fact, he was always getting into all sorts of scrapes even after he was voted into office. He went blind in one eye after a boxing incident in the White House. Did he stop fighting in the White House after that happened? Not really, he just switched to jiu-jitsu. Teddy didn't hesitate to become the first president to travel the continental US, braving the treacherous wilderness of the wild west despite the worries of the politicians back in Washington. Actually, he took it further, while he was on the west coast on a speaking tour he snuck off with John Muir to go camping and explore the natural wonders of the Rockies and Yellowstone. This rebellious backpacking trip inspired him to make these national wonders into national parks. Also, we're pretty sure that's where he got that big stick that he mentioned in that famous quote of his. Product Details & DesignWhen we designed this Made-By-Us costume we wanted to represent the other side of US presidential history. This costume is both dignified as well as exploration ready. The suit has a khaki color and an early nineteen-hundreds cut. The brass buttons, jaunty brimmed hat, and collar embroidery add to the presidential flair while the holsters on the belt make you look rough and ready.Speaking Softly OptionalWhether you're choosing a look for Presidents Day or you want a historic look for Halloween, you'll love this dashing costume. You might find yourself longing to explore the wilderness and take on both politicians and moose with your bare hands but that's just a part of transforming into one of the wildest presidents of the US. Do like Teddy would do and take it in stride!
Well, good morrow to you, young squire! Have another mug of mead to warm that belly. Aye, the tavern is where we call home. As they say, sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your title. So come on in, pull up a stool to the bar and have a drink with Cliff, the scroll-delivery man and Norm, whatever he does for a living. And then there's Frasier, Diane, basically, everybody knows your title at the tavern (Alright so it's not exactly Cheers but can't it at least feel that way?!). The best thing about Renaissance taverns is that no one hassles you for spending all your time there. Plenty of bar wenches to leer at too, once you've had one too many mugs of beer. And taverns are great places to find adventures!Yes, that's right, adventures. You never know when you'll bump into a knight on his way to slay a dragon. Or perhaps an eccentric old wizard, who turned his apprentice into a frog and must now journey to the forbidden forests to retrieve a pure witch's eye for his cure potion. Or maybe some of the king's men will come in, demanding free drinks and grabbing a wench for fun. Or maybe some rioting townspeople are planning to burn you at the stake because they think you're responsible for the drought. Oh dear. Taverns seem pretty dangerous, now that we think of it. Why are dangerous people always ending up in taverns? Next think you know, that knight will be leading a dragon right to you. And those townspeople will start a bonfire for you. Either that or people will start calling you the town drunk, which, let's face it, you are. How could you not be? You spend every waking moment (and many passed out moments) in that tavern drinking.
Legend of the Jungle When you travel to the rainforest, keep your senses alert. If you're lucky, you may discover for yourself whether the rumors are true. For years, sailors and travelers have returned with amazing stories about a survivor who has lived among the wild animals with such skill that they have accepted him as one of their own. He occasionally makes contact with his fellow humans, but has no desire to return to civilization, with the exception of an awesome Halloween party. Product DetailsEmbrace your wild side with an exclusive Adult Jungle Man Plus Size Costume! The jungle is no place for a three-piece suit, which is why the brown loincloth with its longer front and back pieces is your best option. Unlike previous jungle men's attire, this loincloth comes with a pair of briefs, which is much more convenient when you're swinging through the treetop vines. The pair of brown fabric arm bands are decorated with brown cords strung with blue beads. Goodbye, CivilizationIf you're desperate to leave the rat race behind for a while, may we suggest an entire career change? The jungle is calling! It might be an adjustment at first as you learn to start your own fires and communicate with the gorillas, but you'll be free to do whatever you want with the rest of your time. And sure, there aren't any coffee shops or showers where you are, but there also aren't any grocery store lines or traffic jams, so maybe it's an even trade.
Time to Grovel Greetings, puny mortal. Welcome to the temple of the goddess. You have found her in a good mood, and she will look with favor upon your trembling devotion. It will go even better for you if you have remembered to bring a small gift to show your loyalty to her beautiful self. A word of advice: Live goats and sheep are so two milleniums ago. Nowadays, the goddess encourages cold drinks and maybe some cool shoes. Just a thought. Product DetailsAccept the tributes of your adoring devotees when you wear this exclusive Dark Goddess Costume Dress for Women! The long black dress zips up the back and is made of slightly stretchy jersey knit material. Its cold-shoulder-style bodice embellished with a gold-edged V neckline and an empire waistband outlined with an appliqued metallic gold ribbon. The sleeves' side puffs are made of black chiffon. The skirt features two flirty thigh-high slits that will let you show off your favorite pair of gladiator sandals. The included headband is accented with metallic braid and fabric leaves. Patron of Beauty and Brunch This goddess dress is celestially lovely, and perfect for wearing if you don't want to tie yourself to a specific mythology. It certainly adapts itself well to both Athena's dignified wisdom, Hecate's spooky magic, and Aphrodite's sultry fashion sense (which is pretty incredible when you think about it), but you could also declare yourself to be an entirely new goddess. Someone still has to claim the role of taco deity, for instance. The title of Goddess of Having Perfectly Smooth Hair Even When It's Really Humid and Hot Out title is also up for grabs.

Einstein had a ton of great qualities. Sure, we all admire his groundbreaking work on physics and his revolutionary theory of relativity and he was actually quite a skilled musician.

How to Attract CustomersStrolling through the market, you can’t help but notice fellow merchant’s clothing. The fancier the dress, the larger the crowd and the bigger the merchant’s smile.

But your product is, and you want people to flock to you and fill your pockets with golden coins instead of the lint you pick out each night. To get where you want to be, it seems you'll need to upgrade your look, and we can help!Design & DetailsFinely embroidered tunics and quality-made trousers are a great start, but they’re nothing without a proper belt to accent your waist.

The Fairest MaidenThere was a lot left to be desired living back in the Middle Ages. Most people's homes were just one big room with dirt floors and straw-stuffed mattresses for beds. The dinner menu didn't include much besides bread, stew and porridge. There was always the threat of an invasion from an enemy country or another 100-year war. If you wanted to visit anyone farther than 10 miles away, it took two months to finally get there. You might be accused of being a witch if you baked a cake that was too delicious. And, worst of all, there was no indoor plumbing.But all the inconviences of Medieval life were worth it for the amazing balls! If you think today's parties get wild, you haven't seen anything yet. Medieval balls had fire jugglers and choir groups and trained bears and indoor sporting events, plus about 100 pounds of food. The best part, of course, was having the chance to dress up in a truly beautiful gown!Product DetailsYou will be the fairest maiden in the land in this exclusive Plus Size Women's Crimson Maiden Costume. The beautiful red dress is made out of the finest 100 percent polyester, styled to look like crushed velvet and brocade fabrics and sewn by a dozen royal seamstresses. The one-piece dress is styled to look like multiple layers, including a shift, underskirt and overdress. The cream brocade front inset panel looks like an underskirt peeking up at the top of the dress, and the dark red overdress is trimmed with gold lace and braid. There are also long sleeves trimmed with gold lace, with cream fabric peeking out of the ends to resemble more underskirt.Ye Grand Olde TimeYou're guaranteed to have a grand old time at your next Medieval ball (or just a good old costume party) with this crimson maiden costume!
Not Me. Us.Now is the time to think big, not small — that means ensuring that at every costume party around the country, together, we are maintaining a standard of living for our fellow party-goers. That means ensuring folks contribute their fair share to the pot luck; that means cracking down on the Jim Halperts of the world, who have for too long hid behind loopholes in the costume code and brought mere vending machine fare to the snack table; that means, finally, sharing with our fellow workers an honest accounting of our wages and benefits, so all our brothers and sisters at the costume party are afforded a reasonable standard of living!Design & DetailsThis is a pivotal moment. So let's be clear: this officially licensed Bernie Sanders mask can help you rally your fellow workers out of complacency, and together, we can build a better future for us, our children, and our grandchildren. Officially licensed (the Bernie stamp of approval, essentially), this mask may not change the world on its own, but it could inspire you or your colleagues to change it. So we're reminded of that classic Bernie-ism: "Not me. Us." Solidarity. We know — what a concept!
Goddess, hear the pleas from your people! They wish to bear witness to your incredible grace, your unmatched wisdom, your blinding beauty. Please, come down from the heights of Mount Olympus so they may cast their eyes upon you. But wait! You can't simply stroll into town barefoot like a common lowly hobo (no disrespect to hobos, of course)! No! You're a goddess! You've got to strike just the right note. But how... what would be worthy of a goddess? What could a goddess possibly step on that would be worthy of the touch of her feet? If only there was some solution... somewhere on this page... hmmm...Oh! Of course! These golden sandals are the perfect solution! Slip these on, lace them up, and let the golden leaves flutter as your throngs of admirers kneel before you, ready to kiss those feet of yours... if they are worthy, and that's a big if.

She fed Cronus a rock (he wasn't too bright for a Titan) and he went on his merry way, thinking that he had eaten his own child.

The Maddest InventionDeep underground, a scientist works feverishly towards her goal. If she doesn't have this ready by morning, the local authorities will be able to shut down her lab. She mixes frantically, muttering instructions and cackling to herself. The final beaker tips into the pot, and there is a searing flash of light. The chemical is ready!

For a costume, though, these will add the perfect final touch.
Posiedon PowerDo you hate being ignored? Wouldn't it be nice to have the power to cause earthquakes whenever anyone pretended not to hear when you suggest that everyone go grab some tacos? That would teach people to ignore your carne asada cravings.Though they are old, powerful, and wise, the gods of Olympus are known for being petty. We can understand how Poseidon (or Neptune if you're Roman) would feel a little left out. Though his life was interesting, riding around the ocean floor on his chariot pulled by a team of underwater lobster-like horses called hippocampus (what's the plural of hippocampus, hippocampi?) he must have been quite lonely at times. It's said that even though he had a gorgeous palace at the bottom of the sea made of coral and gems he spent more time at Mount Olympus. Just goes to show that all the ocean-voyaging chariots and coral castles in the world can't replace family. It's easy to get ready for your Mount Olympus debut these days. You don't even have to achieve twelve labors like Hercules had to.The wonders of the internet can now endow you with all the trappings you need to become like the great Poseidon. In the dramatic golden cape and seafoam green pants, all the ships of the sea will be at your mercy. You'll look regal in the golden arm gauntlets, belt, and the goldfish scale shirt. All you need now is your golden trident to take this ensemble from dramatic to earthshaking. This Halloween those mortals won't dare ignore you. If they say no to tacos this time go ahead and make the earthquake.
Comeback QueenHere's the difference between princesses and queens. Princesses are given their title, queens have to fight for theirs. And as fighting for the throne goes, Cleopatra's story stands out loud and proud. In the beginning, she was pushed from the throne. Banned from her own land. Did she let that stop her? No! When Caeser was staying in an Egyptian palace, Cleopatra had her servants roll her into a carpet. Then they casually carried her into the palace (we like to imagine them whistling like they do in cartoons). As soon as they unfurled their lovely monarch in front of Caeser he fell head over heels and she made a bid for the throne. It wasn't long before she was ruling again. If that's not a power play, we don't know what is!Details & DesignWe're sure the Egyptian queen would stamp her seal of approval on this Made by Us Cleopatra costume! Our designers created this piece in a nod to the Egyptian style that was popular for the country's hot climate. The unique look features a white bodysuit under a sheer flowing gown with subtle gold stripes. The gown is accented with a stunning gold collar and belt, beaded for ultimate shimmer power. With sheer layers, sparkling gold, and a flattering cut, this costume will be a legendary ensemble at any costumed event.Ultimate Look, No De-NileCleopatra really knew how to make an entrance. She was never afraid to shine! When you're dressing as this legendary queen, take a leaf out of her book. Finish off this look with golden accessories like bangles, sandals, and makeup. Crown yourself with your favorite Cleopatra wig from our collection. When you're looking this royal, you don't even have to roll yourself in a carpet to make a stunning entrance!
Wash Your HandsWhen Florence Nightingale came on the medical scene during the Crimean War, more soldiers were passing away due to sickness than injury. Once soldiers entered the medical bay they were exposed to some seriously awful bugs. When the sharp-eyed, diplomatic Nightingale saw the conditions of the medical tents she wrote to the government to tell them to save the soldiers through hygiene. Under pressure, the government went to work improving ventilation and sewage treatment.In the meantime, Florence implemented handwashing rules and trained nurses in keeping sanitary conditions. Under her watchful eye and lantern light, the rate of survival in the hospitals went from fifty-one percent to an amazing ninety-eight percent. It's no wonder that, more than a hundred years later, we still remember her making her nightly rounds, lantern raised.Design & DetailsIf your child is a history buff, she's sure to appreciate this Florence Nightingale costume, designed by our in-house creative team. The black dress and apron are separate, letting your child dress up in either without the other. The apron slips over the head and ties at the back. The dress zips up the back and has a red cross band around one arm. Topped off with a ruffled cap, this costume would make the proper Florence Nightingale proud!For the WinWhile most well to do young ladies were expected to stay at home, Florence had a calling that she couldn't ignore. Her expectations for hygiene, patient care, and compassion elevated the skill of nursing and saved people all over the world! In fact, nurses still the Nightingale Pledge to this day! This costume can be completed with a lantern to represent Nightingale on her nightly routes, checking on patients as everyone else slept. Perfect for school projects, plays, and even an alternative Halloween costume, this look is a great way to celebrate an iconic hero of medicine!
Serpentine StyleIt's time to change up your hairstyle, and you're having trouble deciding what to do. Although long hair looks rather impressive, it's also pretty notorious for getting in the way of, well, everything. (Especially if even the slightest breeze comes along!) But what if your long locks had some more practical purposes? While having snakes for hair might not be a super common feature, we think there are lots of advantages!Snakes on your head give you extra limbs and a rocking style at the same time! They can do everything from intimidating your enemies to helping you eat a snack. And since they can bend any which way, you can make highly intricate serpentine styles without all that hairspray!Design & DetailsYou can rest assured that no serpents were harmed in the making of this Medusa Hat! This exclusive headpiece is made from metallic green fabric that imitates scales. Nine posable snakes with red tongues adorn the top of the hat, and it even has small pockets inside for storing essentials. Please note: Item does not contain live reptiles! (We haven't quite figured out how to integrate a feeding system yet.)
Stone Cold LegendMedusa gets a bad rap. Yes, her head of snakes turns men into stone with one look. But can we revisit why she kept on running into guys again? She wasn't hunting down innocent men in bookstores. Imagine her laughing after she pulled a "Made you look" and left a clutch of bookish granite statues behind. That's a pretty funny image, but it wasn't her style. She tried to stay far, far away from all humanity. Those Greek soldiers just couldn't leave a cursed demi-goddess alone when she created a challenge fit for a hero. So, yeah. There were casualties. But we would argue that if you go hunting for a head of snakes, you shouldn't go crying blaming a demi-goddess when you turn into a blob of rock!Design & DetailsWear your crown of snakes with pride when you slip on this Medusa headband. The snakes are adjustable with a shiny scale pattern on the surface. The gold eyes and forked tongues will make your hairdo look like a living legend. Want to fully transform into your Medusa form? Pair this snake headband with one of our elegant Greek or Roman goddess costumes to bring this ancient myth to life!
Do you sometimes wish you could simply saunter around with a white parasol? Would you love wearing white gloves on your way to have lemonade on your neighbor's porch with your hair coiffed to perfection? We're grateful for modern conveniences, don't get us wrong but sometimes we wish we could simply travel back to a time when ruffles were more accepted. We're still waiting on pins and needles for that time machine to get invented but in the mean time, we might as well celebrate those lacier times. So, there are a few times a year that you have that opportunity to embrace that frilly style you might crave. Sure, you might be super excited to put on your gorgeous dress but if you want to complete your Victorian or Southern debutant costume you'll need the right accessories. After all, a true Victorian lady would never be caught baring her lovely head to the sun. Finish it off with some lovely little gloves and "we do declare" you're ready!
