Have you ever tried to juggle 100 tankards on the way to the washing trough? It's a whole lot of work, that's for sure. You would have to dodge the fury of angry regulars who had their fill of mead, too. And there is always the threat of a dragon about. Fire and old wooden structures? Not such a good combination! But, there are some upsides... this stylish costume is one of them!Design & DetailsWe would much prefer to be a young tavern regular. You know, a barkeep’s boy who plays in the alley out back.

Damsel of DistressSee the misty peak of dragon mountain, yonder? They say there's a maiden who's trapped by the wretched beast up there. She weeps day and night, waiting for a prince to save her. Yeah, no. Not this maiden you see here. She's not in distress, she causes distress. She'd like to watch you try to stick her in a high tower somewhere. It would give her a reason to exercise her sword hand.The Medieval times were not a good era for ladies and maidens alike. They were either expected to stay inside, sew, and keep quiet or they were getting kidnapped and trapped in one way or another. Snow White was choked by an apple. Sleeping Beauty was thrown into a coma. And when they were freed they were expected to commit to their rescuer for the rest of their lives. That doesn't sound great. Rewrite history and become the gallant heroine with this tough yet gorgeous armored gown!Product Details & DesignAre you ready to transform into a valiant and fashionable warrior? You'll love the exclusive look that our designers put together. This Made-By-Us costume has detailed, swirling elements as well as tough looking armor throughout the look.

That means you get to keep one hundred percent of the lizard's loot. That's a pretty good deal. And hey, if you run into one of the knights that are headed up to save yonder fair maiden, you can let him tag along on the way back down the mountain. After all, there might be a few dangers on the way back!
thunderstruckWe don't know a lot about Greek mythology -- but what little we know, we're sure about. There’s just one trait that separates the all-mighty Zeus from any normie graybeard with a gym membership: the ability to smite whomever and whatever he wants when he wants. That's not a lot, actually. So if you want to be nearly the same as the chief god in the Greek pantheon, all you have to do is spend the next few centuries working on your godlike physique!Or, if the whole lightning thing is that important to you, why not try this formidable costume combo? It comes with most of the things you need to look like the flashiest deity in all of classical mythology.product detailsBased on the mighty Greek god, our exclusive Kids Zeus costume makes you look like an all-powerful deity. The white tunic top is reminiscent of the garb worn by ancient Greeks. It even has gold accents along the bottom for a truly regal look. The belt has gold designs on it and matches the gold accents on the tunic. The drape is a shimmering gold color and can be tucked into the belt. A pair of gold gauntlets fit around the wrists, but the true coup de grace of this outfit is the crown, which will sit atop your head to make you feel like the king of all Greek gods!feel the powerEnjoy your newfound power, young one, but we beg you not to abuse it! Of course, we hope you’ll always smile down benevolently upon your humble servants here.
Who's ready for a trip to Mount Vernon? When you outfit yourself with this HalloweenCostumes.com exclusive Plus Size George Washington costume, you won't have to do any of the heavy lifting to get there. You won't have to cross the Delaware river. You won't have to battle any British soldiers. And you won't even have to spend a night at Valley Forge! Yup, all you'll have to do is slip on this detailed costume, and you'll be ready to defeat the British and make your way to becoming the first President of the United States of America.This costume replicates a late 18th century historical look that ol' George is commonly depicted as wearing. The vest and jacket are trimmed with an elegant gold floral pattern, and it looks more likely to be worn for a night of high society partying than for a night out on the battlefield. With golden fringed epaulets on the shoulders, the jacket commands respect, and gives anyone the confidence to lead as a general or president. Just put on the hat and complete your look with a white wig (sold separately) and you'll be ready to become the historic figure himself. Because when you outfit yourself with this detailed look, you'll be ready to help get the nation started... the right way!
It's been said that love is a battlefield. But to some people, those words might sound a little out of order. The valkyrie who must have inspired this Women's Viking Vixen Costume, for example, would probably say a battlefield is love, or whatever was closest in Old Norse. And people like us, who enjoy mixing things up, might assert that field is a love battle—though we can't claim to know what that means!That's okay, because there's almost as much difference of opinion about the historical Vikings as there is about love and war. Were they rabid marauders? Adventurous seafarers? Master merchants? Opera enthusiasts? Did the real Vikings even wear horns on their helmets? There aren't a lot of easy answers, even if you're an archaeologist. That's why we stick to Halloween costumes: because when we see a shieldmaiden outfit with great faux leather details and a majestic fur-lined cape in powder blue, we know exactly what to think and feel. It's awesome! And we didn't even need a PhD!When you're wearing this strapping armor, you get to decide whether being a Viking means raiding and pillaging, knocking a few heads together, or just shattering wine glasses in a hail of high notes. As soon as you get your hands on one of these costumes, your fate becomes your own—though we'd also be happy to set you up with a couple of battle-ready accessories. Then you'll be totally free to cut loose and go berserk!
Were you an inquisitive child in your younger days? Did you ask an endless series of Why or What’s that questions? So many per hour that you were about ready to make your parents ready to fall into the fetal position just so you might stop the perpetual interrogation? And, when they did, did you still loom over them and inquire, “Why are you doing that?”Well, of course you did. Didn’t all kids? But, the real question is if you kept up on this spectacular habit? Do you still have the knack for interrogation and the unending pool of curiosity fueling you to solve the most insidious of the world’s mysteries? Rather than attempt to convince you clever inquisitors to halt your investigations, instead try to praise you for your pursuits for the truth and lead you right down the road to becoming one of the best investigators of all time. Perhaps even the greatest, Sherlock Holmes!It is time to put your abilities to find the truth to the test. And, how better to do it than being clad in this Adult Sherlock Holmes costume? Made of conventional polyester, this coat and hat combo will give you the perfect blend of sophistication and intrigue to help solve all the cases along the way. A crisp set of buttons and an adjustable strap on the hat keep the garb fitting well. Add a few accessories like an oversized magnifying glass or a cob pipe and you’ll have Moriarty asking why he ever dared to come to your neighborhood to perpetuate his endless crime spree. Makes us wonder a bit what kind of kid he started off as!? Maybe endless questions aren’t so bad in comparison!
Guys, here is a trivia question. Who was the 26th president of the United States? Two hints: teddy bears were named after this dude, and he was probably the coolest cowboy explorer of all time. Theodore Roosevelt! He made the ladies swoon, and the dudes get excited about nature. This Rough Rider was one heck of a guy. Nobel Peace Prize winner, boxer, writer, soldier, at one point even a police commissioner of New York City. What a man! You may not be as prestigious as the old Teddy bear himself, but you can get pretty close. At one point, he said, "Believe you can and you're halfway there." Well, believe you can be just as cool by wearing the Men's Theodore Roosevelt Costume, and trust us you are halfway there. Get up on to your horse, or into your car, and explore in this polyester suit. Get this, it even comes in child size. You could match your kid! Yes, just think of the matching mustaches! The coat has decorative buttons on fully functional pockets to shove more fake mustaches into. You can never have enough fake mustaches! It comes with a fedora with a fierce brocade ribbon band to get you ready for the expedition. Also, the pants have an elastic waist and cuffs, so when you bust a move you don't bust your exploring pants. Just in case you need a little extra pizzazz, the jacket features decorative buttons with Hook and Loop fastener on the back to fasten the front. Get ready, set, and explore like Theodore Roosevelt.
Angel of the BattlefieldLife as a soldier in the Civil War was pretty brutal. The conditions were awful. Any injury could be life-threatening and medical care was scant. With these dismal circumstances, it's no wonder that the capable Clara Barton was known as the angel of the battlefield! She would go out to distribute life-saving care, washing wounds, changing bandages, offering water and soup to the miserable soldiers in the muck and smoke. Her courage on the battlefield was famous. This led the way to make sure women could take on the role of battlefield nurse with an element of respect. After the war, Ms. Barton traveled to Switzerland, learning about all the good the European Red Cross was doing. She came home determined to open an American sector of The Red Cross. She worked with fellow famous friends such as Fredrick Douglas to make her vision a reality. Clara Barton continued to devote herself to life-saving medical outreach until she retired at the ripe old age of 83. We hope she got a chance to spend a few years with her feet up and a tropical drink in your hand!Design & DetailsThis historical Made By Us Clara Barton costume was designed by our in-house creative team. The floor-length blue poplin gown has a built-in petticoat and it zips up the back. A white apron with a red cross on the chest ties around your waist for a neat look. Matching white cuffs slip over the billowy sleeves for a battle field-ready look. Topped off with a white bonnet, this costume is ready for historical reenactments and costume parties, alike!History in MotionAre you ready to take on the iconic role of Clara Barton? Pair this with historical costumes such as civil war uniforms or characters such as Fredrick Douglas and you'll be ready to tell Clara Barton's epic tale!

Napoleon Bonaparte was well known for leading the French as a top military commander and emperor. But did you also know that he well highly regarded for bon-a-partying as well? Yup, that's right, we've heard that this guy could have fun like no other. It is reasonable to conclude that, too, given what else we know about the military master.Apparently the shorter-than-average guy felt that it was crucial that he impress everyone so that they’d all look up to him for once. All us short folks in the world understand exactly how that feels. We’re always overcompensating for not quite attaining that perfect 6’1” Adonis look that maybe we’ve aimed for.

Legendary Pest ControlGot monsters in your neighborhood and don't know what to do? Fear no more, Hercules has it covered! This hero takes down Nemean lions in a matter of minutes. Is a nine-headed Hydra mucking up your city's sewer system? Hercules knows what to do. From multi-headed hounds to ferocious riddle-loving felines, this home-town hero has got you covered!

Thanks, Hercules!Product DetailsWe're happy to welcome Hercules into our modern era with this officially licensed Disney costume. Straight out of the hit cartoon, this costume is simple to throw on so that you'll be ready to take down any cruel creatures that come your way! The tunic is belted with a lighting motif in the middle to show off this demi-god's origins. It has a blue cape attached to the back and is finished off with faux leather gauntlets to keep you safe while fighting off the beasties. Hunk-cules HappeningsDisney's version of the epic hero Hercules is a lot more admirable than the one written about in Greek mythology. Sure, he might not always listen to his animal companions when it comes to trusting that "damsel in distress". But wouldn't his Olympian dictated trials have been a little dry if it weren't for Meg's antics? And in the end, Hercules made it out on top. So this Halloween, bring Hercules back to take care of any monsters that might crop up in your neighborhood. Let's just hope he can tell the difference between a store-bought ghoul and one that's sent from the gods!

Fashion on the MountGods and goddesses on Mount Olympus are always well dressed. Fine linens, laurel leaves dipped in gold, and so many wrap arm bands. It makes sense that deities would want to look fabulous. They're always making questionable choices so they have to look good to really get away with it. Look at Zeus.

LITTLE MISS CLEOFolks are always talking about how great it might be to be the king, but all a person gets to rule in that scenario is one little kingdom. Sure, that might seem like loads of power and fame, but how many kings really stand out over the centuries. Heck, half of them even just number their names. Who wants to be the eighth Henry, after all? No, if anyone wants to truly be remembered, they need to be much more than that!Who else but Cleopatra is better known and held more power? A dose of Greek and Egyptian... one heck of a diplomat, artist, and tactician... a Queen and the last Pharaoh? That's quite the resume for a relatively young ruler. No wonder we're still trying to learn everything we can about her! We've got a ton of details about her famous life as the Queen of the Nile. But, what about those earlier years?

Northern NightmareThey strike when least expected, sailing silently in their longboats straight up to the very doorstep of an unwitting settlement.

Renaissance ReadyTo be a Renaissance Man is to be ready for almost anything or at least curious about it all. Which is perhaps why you're so interested in attending a Renaissance festival or even why you've attended several already! But whichever spot you find yourself in, there's one thing for certain: your wardrobe needs to be as ready and versatile as a Renaissance Man would be!Once at the festival, you may find yourself carousing with fellow masters of none in one moment, then jousting on the back of a noble hobby horse the next. You may shoot archery at one station and try your hand at painting like Da Vinci n the next. There may even be a moment for dance and shopping. And in each instance, you'll want to look sharp and feel prepared!Design & DetailsOur exclusive Renaissance Noble Plus Size Costume is here to offer that versatility! The Made By Us ensemble starts with a combination tunic and shirt that fastens at the back with a hook-and-loop fastener. The billowy sleeves of the shirt give the top a familiar loose-fitting style that's comfortable and breezy—perfect for staying cool at bustling festivals. Meanwhile, the long tunic made of velvet and trimmed with faux fur and brocade ribbon provides a regal polish.A velvet cape can be attached to the tunic with hook-and-loop fasteners on each shoulder. With the cape secured, you're ready for a noble portrait, and with it whisked away, you'll feel light and ready to accept any thrown gauntlet. Meanwhile, a Tudor bonnet featuring a purple feather, a chain attached to the collar, and a pair of faux suede boot covers ensure the costume blends well with the fanciest of Renaissance 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!"
What is a girl’s best friend, asks a number of songs? Well, the quick answer tends to be the shimmer and glimmer of diamonds. They represent beauty, internal brilliance, and the sort of longevity and lasting power that falls right within the idea of eternity. But, ultimately, they are only gemstones. Diamonds might be pretty impressive, but they lack the real vivid color and life that hits what a gal really needs. How can they possibly compare when put toe-to-toe with the idea of the ultimate authority of divine mandated rule!?That’s the question posed to the most famously beautiful ruler of all time, Cleopatra. And what is the biggest problem with leading a massive country full of people just drooling over your magnanimous power? Well, looking amazing certainly isn’t the problem. If anything, such power and beauty only brings about the constant threat of betrayal and almost certain early death by assassination—often including truly unusual ways of bringing it about. We admit that dealing with murder plots isn’t a great aspect of the job description, but it at least makes for an eternal story for your subjects and enthusiasts hundreds of years later.So, it is now time to step up and claim your throne and make both Antony and Caesar roil with jealousy. Do so with this Nile Queen Cleopatra costume. This lovely black, polyester sheath dress is form fitting and has astounding contrast thanks to its aqua edging, gold and aqua armbands with long draping cloth that sings of the Nile, itself, and a sequined headband with lovely dangling beads and a bright faux gemstone in its center. The golden knit apron belt has a mystical scarab design in the same aqua tone that completes the balanced look. Complete your whole ensemble with a cobra staff or jeweled rings. (… Or an antidote phial, just in case some of your ‘allies’ bring in some serpents of their own!)

Kids in Ye Olde DaysCan you believe what they had to put up with back then? It’s nothing like the struggles that an average kid goes through today! Kids in the pioneer days of the American frontier had to get up early in the morning to feed the chickens. You know, before the rooster even crows! They had to help out with chores in the morning and they had to gather firewood for the winter. They had to cut down stones, plough fields, and they had to plant fields with crops. They couldn’t microwave some pizza rolls when they got hungry and they had to go to the bathroom in an outhouse. And they didn’t even have smartphone to text their friends!Well, your child is probably glad that they live in the modern age. They get access to video games and computers, but it’s never a bad idea to brush up on history to appreciate the nice things that we have today. After all, a few days without Wi-Fi is enough to make anyone recognize how great it is! Maybe this costume is a good way to introduce your young one to the ways of our past!Product DetailsThis Pioneer Boy costume gives your child a taste of what it would have been like living on the prairie. It comes with a striped shirt that has a button-up style front. The sleeve cuffs have elastic for fitting and the wide collar neatly fits the red bandana. The brown pants have a button in front and fit with suspenders for a look that will have your child ready to do some chores on the farm!Great for School Plays!You can accessorize with your own bucket and pair of boots, or just send your young pioneer child on his way. It’s also a great costume for school plays based on American history.
Have you ever wanted to be the President of the United States? It is a thought that many of us have had from time to time and one that, certainly, our parents have considered for us as they proclaim that we had the ability to become anything that we set our minds towards. The Presidency seems to always be that highest pinnacle, the crowning achievement. Then again, some can look at high public offices and wince a bit, pointing at a number that have left a number of us wanting and a few others aghast as we’re trying to figure how they managed any votes! And, even if you think you can handle the job, campaigning is such a pain in the rear.But, there are much easier ways to become the President without having to run around the whole country, talking yourself up and kissing every baby until you’ve managed to win enough votes—and we’re not talking about voter fraud, either! You can just transform yourself into a President that everyone already recognizes with this Ronald Reagan mask. Transmogrify with this full molded latex mask and get ready to yell “Reagan Smash!” as you topple your opponents as one of the most heavy hitting Presidents of them all. But, a warning: remember that Reagan masks usually have a different meaning when you go to banks, so we don’t recommend that.

The Ancient Egyptians knew that royalty was a grand mandate of divinity. Their pharaohs were reincarnated forms of the great sun god, Ra. Because, what is better than being King than being a God-King!? Challenged to bring their people to untold prosperity while competing with somewhere between 6 and 40,419 gods of death, those rulers had no end to their stress! And, worse, those who were disturbed or ruled unwisely might rise as mummies, forever tormented to wander the sands until the rightful pharaoh might come and return them to their slumber. So, maybe being king isn’t always the easiest of paths in life!But, still, the best thing about the pharaohs were that we had no specific limitations on who might be named! Those with the divine right would be raised, no matter who they were. Man, woman, or even kiddos were all eligible if they possessed the wisdom to rule… at least for a while. The great King Tutankhamen, the boy king, became one of the most famously known names in even our modern era.And, reincarnation is still a thing, even these many years later. Channel the lost soul of King Tut by gifting your kiddo with the luxury of rule with this Child King Tut costume. Luxurious black and gold polyester interlock knit fabric make up this knee-length tunic whose belt and collar are trimmed with gold and turquoise colors amidst a metallic golden braid, all featuring Egyptian-themed patterns. Matching velvet armbands shine like rare jewelry thanks to faux gems and fasten easily with the mythical power of Hook and Loop fastener. The headpiece is a black velvet fabric with golden stripes and a soft sculpted cobra with gleaming emerald eyes. Let your tyke reign forever as the God-King Tutankhamen and, even if the rule doesn’t last forever, you know that a mummy could be a great option next year!
Not a PrincessWhile remaining a popular costume for kids, the life of a princess has never been easy throughout history. As long as one was a princess, there were extreme expectations for your behavior and education. You had to learn to become a diplomate as well as the model for all the young ladies in the kingdom. That might mean grinning and bearing it while your father, the king, creates a new religion so that he can annul his marriage to your mother effectively disinheriting you from the throne. This Queen Elizabeth the First Costume is not for a pretty princess, it's for a powerful matriarch. Design & DetailsOur creative team assigned this design to our resident history buff to create a costume that's worthy of Queen Elizabeth yet affordable by modern standards. This being said, you'll find delightful details within this costume. For instance, the fitted sleeves are trimmed in sheer ruffles and layered under dramatic draped outer sleeves. Queen Elizabeth’s trademark stand-up collar is kept in place with stiff foam covered in the same brocade of the gown to make sure that your character is instantly recognizable. Zipping up the back, you won’t have to depend on a team of servants to slip into this iconic historic costume. And if you want to go above and beyond, add an over-the-top red wig and pale makeup to complete the Queen's aesthetic. Power UpQueen Elizabeth had to deal with getting left in the lurch for many years throughout her teens and young adulthood. Her road to the throne was not a simple one. But once this matriarch became queen, she not only took the throne, she captured the hearts and imaginations of England. While she ruled over 400 years ago, we still are looking up to her royal air. Are you ready to channel this royal icon? Slip into this Made by Us costume to leave your princess garb behind and become a queen!
It Was the Best of Times, It Was the Worst of Times...Civil war, or any kind of war, is never great. There's always bloodshed, heartbreak, sickness, shortages, and wounds - both physical and mental - that take time to heal. On the other hand, just like throughout the rest of human history, there are always good things to be found right alongside the bad. Physicians start to realize that handwashing before surgery is a good idea. The bridge to women's suffrage begins to be built. The steam engine blazes across the prairie, reuniting families and cutting down on weeks of travel in covered wagons. And best of all, women's fashions were absolutely stunning! Product DetailsYou'll fit right in during the War between the States thanks to this exclusive Plus Size Women's Civil War Dress Costume! The floor-length dress is made of light and comfortable polyester calico fabric and is printed all over with a delicate floral pattern. We did you a solid and put a zipper up the back instead of a million tiny buttons (it might be less historically accurate, but you'll thank us for the fact that you can fasten your dress yourself instead of having to get someone to do it for you.) Pink satin ribbon decorates the cuffs, hemline, and bodice, and a matching ribbon is sewn to the waist as a sash. The plastic cameo and decorative buttons give the dress some extra flair. An included petticoat goes under the whole thing to pouf out your skirts beautifully - no hoopskirt required! American BelleWhether you wear this costume for a pageant, reenactment or party, you'll look like America's sweetheart. Enjoy the benefits of throwback fashion without having to wear a corset to get the look!
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. Did you know that he played the violin since the age of 5? That’s all great, but we want to praise him for something that a bit… a bit out of the ordinary.

Your child may not quite be old enough to understand what the theory of special relativity yet, but he’ll still be ready to recite his thoughts on why cookies are really delicious when he wears this adorable costume.

AN EXTRA-DIMENSIONAL GENTLEMANWe need Steampunk in our lives. Like, literally our real-life lives. Cleaner energy. Inspired technology. A world of pomp and creativity, of Victorian style and futuristic ambitions. We just need it! Of course, obtaining such a world is a pretty daunting problem. Do we hop back in time and change things so that we get on the right track early and just cross our fingers that we don't drive even faster into the fallen utopia? That seems like we're begging for a time travel disaster!So, we figure that alternate dimensions are the way to go. Portals into the same time period but pulling a few quantum mechanical gizmos can't hurt nearly as bad as swapping a few moments in our past. Worst case scenario with that, we've got a dorky new friend who is a touch confused by our near-criminal lack of cogs and miffed by the lack of lever-activated machines to pour tea without having to walk over to the steamer!DESIGN & DETAILSBe our guide into this new era by stepping up into the role of a lifetime with this Steampunk Dandy costume. Exclusively crafted by our in-house team of artists, designers, and developers, we were sure to infuse it with plenty of signature Steampunk style and we know you're going to love it as much as we do. It includes a double-breasted vest with puffy jersey sleeves and a jabot at the neck. Of course, the look wouldn't be complete with a pair suede-like wrist guards, folded short pants, a stylized top hat, and a belt with a holster! SWORD CANE OR GRAPPLE GUN?Once you've settled into your dandy new Steampunk look, the only question will be what accessory is perfect. Cogs and gears, of course. But, will you go for the quirky tech for convenience or the stylish weapon for debonair flair?
Even though our professional training is in making Halloween costumes, we have an amateur's enthusiasm for a lot of different occupations. So the part of us that likes to read biographies and volunteer at the local historical society was really psyched about this regal Toddler Knight Costume! Unfortunately, their museum doesn't have any displays about the age of chivalry, since the head-to-toe chain mail fad never quite made it to this part of the world. But we're still really excited, so we thought we'd take a shot at giving this outfit some brief historical context. Ahem:About a thousand years ago, people were so good at putting pointy pieces of metal on the end of sticks, they didn't think there was any room for improvement. But along came a clever (and kind of crazy) blacksmith who realized that linking a bunch of little metal loops together was a really great way to stop pointy pieces of metal from getting to the squishy parts of a person! Everybody who had a suit of this new kind of armor became very popular. In fact, the inhabitants of each village and hamlet handed out candy to these glittering guardians, hoping that they'd stick around for a while. That gave rise to knights, a class of armor-wearers for hire, who went from town to town collecting treats for a living! And sometimes they wore crowns for fun (and dramatic effect).In that proud tradition we humbly offer this detailed outfit, so that anyone can reap the sweet rewards that come from dressing up in a shiny coat of mail! The end!
When Crime PaysWe'll never suggest that anyone break the law. Honestly, the last that robbery was charming, it was when some guy in tights stole a bunch of gold from a tyrannous monarch. Then he handed his loot to the poor. He might not have gotten rich from his feats but at least he went down in history. And we don't want to be cheesy (we can't help but be cheesy) but isn't that the type of wealth that really matters? We don't want to encourage anyone to break the law but what would you do if you had Robin Hood's skills? Free the animals from a circus? Confront a bank and give everyone their overdraft fees back? We live in more complicated times these days. Maybe you oughta just dress as Robin Hood to let the poor folks know that you're on their side!Product DetailsWhile most costumes don't have usable pockets, this quiver will be there to help you carry your belongings and stay in character at the same time. Slip your arrows into the twenty-two-inch long quiver and slip your wallet into the functional pocket on the outside. Maid Marion is sure to be impressed by your ingenuity!Not Gonna Miss Your ShotHalloween only comes around one time a year and though we can think of other reasons to dress up, you've got to make your Halloween costume count. So, make sure everything's in place with this quiver prop. You've got a shot at having an awesome costume. We know you won't miss it.
THE LEGEND OF AUTUMNThe story begins in a mountain village. She might have grown up to be a normal citizen. She had aspirations for stories and legends. She spent all her time reading books, imagining the adventures, and even writing a few of them, herself. But, just like the stories she loved, the call of the hero came. The world was in danger and she had to stand up and wield a blade of light to defend the helpless against a shadowy darkness: Crystalfire, the dragon!She knew from the tales what needed to happen. She would need to train and get ready for a fight. There would need to be a little bit of magic at work, but she was bright and knew that she'd figure that out. What a surprise that dragon was going to have. But, she needed to keep that magic a secret. So, she came up with the greatest trick of all. She would have to find the right armor, too.

Is your daughter a strong leader? When it comes to recess is she the one who organizes the races or decides what that group is going to pretend that day? Maybe she's always volunteering to read in class or bringing that science project to the next level. However she uses her leadership skills, you know that she could do anything, even lead a nation. When she was eighteen years old Cleopatra was put on the throne alongside her ten-year-old brother. She enjoyed a couple of years of power but when she got older her brother banished her. After that she probably let things go, right? Ha! Nope. She had some servants roll her up in a carpet and sneak her back into the palace when her brother was having a visitor, Caesar, you know, the super famous leader? Yep, so she meets up in secret with this guy who had a much larger army than her brother and convinces the guy that she should be the one on the throne. How's that for leadership? She might have been wearing a costume very similar to this when she enrolled herself from the tapestry. She would probably have been wearing a golden light weight dress and the traditional Egyptian golden collar and belt. With the undeniable stance of a Queen and her legendary diplomatic skills, it's no wonder that Caesar sided with the celebrated Cleopatra. When your little girl dresses up as this mighty queen she's sure to feel as powerful as that immortal heroine that ruled in 51BC. Maybe she's dressing up for a school project or maybe she wants an imperial Halloween costume this year, either way, this Cleopatra Halloween costume is sure to support her leadership aspirations. She knows better than anyone, that a queen doesn't follow the crowd, the crowd follows you.
The Viking life was hard but beautiful. The Norse lived in a harsh yet bewitching land, they farmed between fjord and mountains, in a cold climate right by the sea. While the men were away, shipping off to trade or raid, the women took control of the farms. It wasn't a meager task, the amount of work to do was staggering. At night, though, the community would come together in the warmth of the fire as they wove tapestries or braided each other's hair and told the intricate legends of their people.Capture some of the romance of the Viking village when you put on this gorgeous red wig. With a long braid and soft curls, you'd look right at home standing on the docks looking out for the returning ships. Pair it with one of our Viking dresses and you'll almost be able to smell the salty sea. With those long locks, someone may just mistake you for the Goddess Freyr.
