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.
First lady of styleMost people can name the Founding Fathers: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams… Heck, Alexander Hamilton even has a whole musical about him! These guys are famous, and rightfully so, but you know what they say: Behind every great man is a great woman. Most of the Founding Fathers were married and supported by loving wives, but you never really get to learn much about the Founding Mothers. We think it’s about time to change that!Abigail Adams was the wife of John Adams, the second president of the United States. And she was pretty cool in her own right, too! For one, she was the first woman to be both the wife and the mother of a president. (Don’t worry, it wasn’t the same guy!) She also gave her husband tons of advice when it came to how to run the country. She was a champion of women’s education and spoke out against slavery.

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!)
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!
Great in Gorgon Green Medusa was pretty much a starlet even back when. A ton of tales suggest she might have been gorgeous enough to make Aphrodite jealous and others depict her as a literal goddess whose archery could put Artemis to shame. But the thing that strikes us the most is the perfect way she could blend green and gold to create a fashion statement that stunned folks into still silence. (Oh, you thought she just petrified wandering victims? Funny how the myths make Medusa into a monster!)Design & Details Dazzle the crowds and make sure stories are told for generations to come by wearing this Medusa Wig for girls. This is a Made By Us wig that comfortably gives your kiddo long green and black synthetic hair. It is styled with a stark crimp to give a serpentine style. Frazzled and messy to suggest a monster who has been dwelling just out of sight for a while too long. Stun the crowds by picking up our reptile stencil to go along with these legendary locks.
Alrighty, folks, remember… We’re approaching that season where the veil between worlds thins and we can periodically see visitors from a few different places pop in to ask a few important questions. And, given what has happened a few times in the past, it is important to make sure we’re all on the same page. What do we say when some sort of odd gatekeeping extradimensional creature scowls at you and asks if you are a god? You know the answer, so there is no need to belabor that any further. But, just saying “Yes!” isn’t going to cut it anymore. They know that we know that, now, too! So, you have to know what kind of god? What powers? Over which domain do you rule?These are the big questions and the road to divinity is a very important one. Our suggestion is to go with a group of gods who have a lot of experience and still know how to have a good time with the mortals. Off to Mount Olympus, then, to learn about the proper protocol, hierarchy, and your rights and responsibilities as a Greek Goddess. Spooked? Ha, don’t worry. The Greek Gods are quite casual about everything, so long as you don’t muddle up their own machinations.With that handled, it is time to don your divine garb of the Roman Goddess costume. You’ll be right at home with Jupiter and Apollo in this glorious ombré gradient, floor-length, sleeveless dress that blends from cream to teal from top to bottom. As lovely as that is, alone, the accents are what truly make these cloths majestic. A gold braid edged V-neck and O-rings at each shoulder are matched by the gold leaf headpiece, all of which make for a clear marker of your divinity. So, the new question: Of what are you a goddess? … That one might take a bit longer, so we suggest you pick wine.
A Pair to RememberEven though time travel sounds like a whole heck of a lot of fun, you do not actually have to travel back into the Victorian age to find perfectly cobbled booties for your Halloween costume. Phew. That's kind of a relief, right? You can simply slip on these Women's Balck Victorian Boots and be ready to hit the cobblestone in high style!Of course, Victorian fashion does come with some uncomfortable side effects—corsets with boning, long skirts that drag in the mud, hats that fasten with pins—but these boots are comfy, with modern fabrics and cushioning to make your Halloween look more enjoyable to wear. The best part about this pair? We wouldn't be surprised to see you sporting them with a pair of skinny jeans and a sweater long after Halloween is done!Product DetailsThis black bootie features a 2.5-inch heel with a slight curve that mimics the popular style of Victorian times. The faux leather will cradle your foot as you strut through the street, and the modern addition of a side zipper makes this lace-up pair even easier to wear! Delicate eyelet detailing gives these shoes a special vintage appeal.
He's a brave knight! You always knew that he would be. (He was raised right, after all!) But now that he's come of age, you can be expecting a call from the king himself any one of these days. Because when word gets to the high castle that your boy is ready to do his part for king and country, you can expect that he's going to go into the service of knighthood in very short order. There are dragons to slay, after all! Now, he might be a bit nervous about being knighted, having some stuffy old man waving a sword around his head, but trust us, he'll be fine. At the worst maybe he loses and ear or two. A small price to pay for knighthood!This costume is sure to have him feeling like a knight who can battle the evildoers in the realm, or at the very least, slay a dragon or two! A detailed ensemble look means that he'll have the perfect style for riding his trusty steed at the jousting court, or the dashing style to strut up the dangerous mountain path to the dragon's lair. There's always the chance that dragon is in the mood to barbecue some knights though, so we always recommend he ride in the middle of the pack. Or, if he's feeling especially confident, ride at the front, next to the king! Kings usually survive that stuff, right? Well, time is a wasting! Duty calls! Don that armor and ride into battle, knight!

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.

Win the crowd. Win your freedom.Kids are odd little creatures. They like silly things like SpongeBob SquarePants. And Masha and the Bear, that Russian cartoon on Netflix. But then they also like kind of gross stuff. And we don't just mean slugs, frogs, and mud pies. No, we mean the violent kind of gross stuff.Your kid seems to have a pretty high tolerance for anything gory. Heck, you remember being his age, and not getting squeamish during the original My Bloody Valentine, and Clash of the Titans. Now, he likes to watch stuff like that. He likes to pretend he is a gladiator fighting in the arena. Or one of King Leonidas' brave Spartans. You wish he were into something a little safer than sword fighting. Like LEGOs.But you can't stop him from being interested in the Gladiators. In fact, letting him dress up in this Kid's Gladiator Costume might be just the thing to get it out of his system. Letting him fight his friends might help him move onto other interests. Either that, or he will become the best sword fighter on the block. Challenging all the kids to gladiatorial combat. Your back yard might become a miniature arena. Don't forget to grab a Gladiator Sword and Shield when you order this costume. Every Gladiator worth his salt should have a good sword to win the crowd with. Then maybe he will go back to watching SpongeBob.
You got to hand it to Hermes, this guy was made of quick stuff! He had wings on his helmet, he had wings on his shoes, he even had wings on his staff! This guy was made for speed. Because of his ability to fly fast and far, the gods of Olympus hired him on as living instant messenger between the gods and mortals. This fast fellow used all that responsibility he got to cause a lot of mischief on Olympus. Lucky for him he was quick on his feet and rarely got into a bind he couldn't get out of. Who wouldn't want the ability to cause mischief and escape the consequences? Although, some of us probably have younger siblings that have somehow acquired that ability. If you want to be a Greek God this Halloween or for a future toga party, this winged makes for an instantly recognizable character. You'll have so much fun, the night will fly by!
A Knight to RememberYour little one has had his fair share of rough Halloweens, so far. For a few years, kids are too young to really participate (or eat much candy), and then the first year your child was ready to go trick-or-treating, he fell at school and broke his ankle! Ouch! The year after that it was the chickenpox, and the year after that you were all really sick with a stomach bug. So, in some ways, this is really his first Halloween to experience the magic and wonder of the night. That's why you've opted for this Kid's Lionheart Knight Halloween Costume, a fine pick! Your medieval scholar in the making won't even know what to do with his excitement when he sees that this striking costume is his to wear all day long, from school to an after-school party to evening trick or treating — with all the candy he can eat!Design & DetailsThis look is crafted with care and attention to detail by our exclusive in-house costume designers, so it really is fit for royalty! As your child dramatically throws back the dark red cape, complete with its own antiqued brass medallion, he reveals the costume's other charms, like a metallic knit tunic, faux leather belt, foam-backed chest "armor" with a printed lion, and slip-on gauntlets. Add a sword for the full effect!Let the Royal Party Start!Your little knight may get very into "decreeing" things while wearing this costume, and he may even want to blow a royal trumpet and gather the whole village in celebration. Hey, after the few years he has had, let him have his fun!
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! If you can take care of all those abstract qualities, we can help you out with the costume!Design & DetailsThis Lionheart Knight Costume will transform you into a beacon of hope for the kingdom!

The foam-backed chest armor has a printed lion on the front. It has hook & loop fastener along the right side, so you can change into it with ease. The red cape fits overhead and has a medallion on the shoulder. The foam-backed gauntlets look like real metal to make you look battle-ready. 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? Then this Renaissance-inspired costume is ready to transform you into the bravest knight in the kingdom!

Is your kid fascinated by Egyptian mythology? Do you notice his eyes light up whenever the pyramids are featured on TV? Pretty understandable, through the ages, the Egyptians left a multitude of mysterious tombs and temples scattered across the desserts. From the iconic pyramids to the weird temples that held thousands of mummified dogs, the Egyptians have amazed and confused us so many times. We have to wonder, what else is out there hidden by the literal sands of time? When looking at Egyptian art we see a powerful character come up again and again. Anubis, the God of the underworld is the guy that keeps those no good mummies from returning from their crypts. From seeing the care the Egyptians took with their tombs and necropolises we know that a good afterlife was pretty important to them, so it's no wonder why they took such care to honor this God with the head of a jackal. Anubis kept the busy world of Egyptian afterlife running smoothly, after death he'd guide the souls of the embalmed to their rightful place, as long as everything in the tomb seemed above board. So, though your child may seem intimidating when he dresses up as Anubis, he is dressing up as one of the good gods. Though he sometimes showed up as a full-on jackal, this costume portrays Anubis in his humanoid form, which is both more commonly portrayed and much easier to dress as. The gold, black, and turquoise colors of the neck and headpiece gives the costume the regal appearance that Anubis would expect. Topped off with a show-stopping jackal mask, this Anubis costume cuts quite an imposing figure. Those Halloween mummies won't dare cross this guard dog.
Gentlemen, Lend Me Your SpearsThe mythology of Greeks and Romans wouldn't be much without the drama of the gods. They really went out of their way to show the danger of having too much time on their hands. Immortality will do that to you. The gods often occupied centuries of their lives with petty competitions. And it's not like they bowed out with grace either, Poseidon cursed Athens with drought when they preferred Athena's gift of an olive tree to the sea god's gift of a salty, useless stream.Speaking of Athena, she was pretty great at setting mortals against each other for petty reasons. Now that we think about it, all the Gods and Goddesses weren't above that. No wonder why training for war was so important to the Greeks and Romans. Luckily for them, they had outfits that were both fashionable and easy to fight in. Want to raise up an army this Halloween? Folks are sure to join your battalion in no time, no enemies needed!Product Details & DesignThis lovely Made-By-Us wrap dress will make you look right at home in the arena of a Colosseum. The brilliant white dress zips up the back and has faux leather accents with gold stamped leaf print. The white is accented with geometric gold trim. You'll also get a belt that secures with a hook and eye strip at the back and flexible gauntlets that cover your forearms, making you ready for anything the gods might throw at you!Fighting for FridaysHaving a good time is all but guaranteed in this sleek ensemble. And since it's designed by our company, you'll be able to wear this look again and again. Good thing, cause you'll want to wear this to themed events as well as Halloween. Throw on some gladiator sandals and call up Dionysus, it's time to fight the fun fight this weekend!
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!
Better than the real thingIt's safe to say that childhood was short in the Middle Ages. It wasn't that kids were less childish, it was just that there was always so much to do. There was yarn to spin, wool to card, peas to shell, gardens to weed, chickens to feed, chickens to pluck, firewood to gather, hems to sew, fields to sew, stews to stir, and water to fetch. So you can be sure that if you were a kid during this time, you'd have plenty of chores every day. Can you imagine a child in today's era yielding a sharp object to peel carrots by an open fire on which balanced a pot of boiling water? Nope, that would not fly these days. Still, it's wonderful to picture villager children of the Renaissance and Medieval era letting loose and gathering flowers. Luckily for us, we might not have a long, long list of chores but we still have access to the clothing of those eras. When you dress your child in a look like this one, it's like going back in time only way, way better!Design & DetailsMade by Us, this Renaissance Villager Costume for girls is a cut above your typical princess costume. The two layers consist of a simple white sheath that has off-shoulder sleeves. The overskirt has a beautiful blue color with a silver-blue flower pattern. With just enough shine to make your kiddo excited to wear it, while still looking natural in pictures, this costume will make everyone happy. The lace-up bodice is secured with velvet textured ribbons that are sewn along the seam of the top and the overskirt as well.Hay-nonny-nonnyA look like this is ready for anything from Ren Faire to a themed party. Top this villager costume off with a crown of braids and your little one will feel like a character straight out of a picture book!
Fierce and FearlessThe Prehistoric era was a tough time - or so we've been told, anyway. The cave people were busy from the crack of dawn till the last light of sunset with hunting saber-tooth tigers, gathering berries, and figuring out how to invent the wheel and the fire (raw saber-tooth tiger meat is pretty gross). They needed courageous girls to help them explore on the backs of their pet pterodactyls and be all kinds of awesome! Product DetailsYou'll look ready for a Pangaea-sized adventure when you wear this exclusive Prehistoric Cave Girl's Costume! The outfit includes a one-shouldered romper made of soft, leopard-print minky fabric with a cord waist tie. It's embellished with jagged brown trim along the neckline that mirrors the skirt's zig-zag hem. The brown faux suede leg warmers have criss-crossed decorative ties and the matching faux suede gauntlets slide easily onto each arm. Top it all off with the hair clip that's attached to a fiber-filled felt bone! Cave CutieBack in ye very olden days, there were no cell phones, TV shows, indoor plumbing fixtures, or chocolate, which would have been sad. On the other hand, there was no homework either, and probably no Brussels sprouts yet. Nobody knew yet that eating your vegetables was better for you than eating sugar. This Halloween, think like a cave girl and collect as much candy as you can! You can eat it next to the fire inside your cave while you paint amazing pictures on the walls for archeologists to find and marvel over. Or did cave kids get into trouble for drawing on the walls of their rooms?

We all know that it is good to be king. At least, we’ve all heard that it s good to be king. Very few of us have actually had the opportunity to stand up and rule over a kingdom. While we have lacked those opportunities, it also means that we haven’t felt the burden upon our brow of that rulership. One has to stop and question how daunting a task it must be to know that your every word has unshakable weight upon your subjects. … For most kings, anyway. There have certainly been few that didn’t quite have the respect of all their supposed worshipers.But, we’re sure that such troubles won’t be yours during your long life as monarch! That’s why we’ve invested everything into your royal Gold King Crown. Made of glimmering and shining (faux) gold, the crown has comfortable inner padding. We can’t have our mandated ruler experiencing discomfort upon thy lofty brow! Decorated with brilliant (faux) gems and diamonds, this crown certainly is worth all the coin in ten thousand (imaginary) kingdoms. Hail and long live our monarch!

Luckily, our costume design crew knows a thing or two about fashion, and they've even been known to dabble in couture selections of antiquity.

Greek-ify MeGetting into the Greek is easy if you play your cards right. This is great, cause Megara's life is tough enough. She has to deal with a temperamental boss in the underworld. In fact, if she doesn't do her devious job right, literal steam will come out of his ears. And back in the land of the living, Meg's love life is complicated. The only way to romantic happiness depends on her love interest giving up his connection to Olympus. All these issues go to show that Megara doesn't have time to mess with her toga when she wants to get into character at a moment's notice. Product DetailsThis Megara set allows you to become the Greek heroine from Hercules in a moment! The swirling medallions slip on to tank straps. The purple sash slips onto your hips to pair with a tank and jeans, as pictured. You could also slip it over a maxi dress if you'd prefer to go with a more traditional Megara look. The faux leather strip creates Megara's high ponytail look to complete her underworld ensemble.Companion ChoicesMegara is pretty great on her own. However, if you're looking to venture out with a partner, you've got choices. Whether you choose to go to your next costume party with Hercules, Hades, or solo, you can be sure to have fun getting Greeky!
Earhart to HeartAmelia Earhart had that special something. Was it courage? Yep! An indomitable spirit? You betcha. But...she also had a REALLY really cool look. And trust us (we know a thing or two about how an outfit can change a person), the clothes really do make the person!This Amelia Earhart Costume Kit is a perfect pick for Halloween.

It would be like trying to fly a plane without wings. In other words, not good!Product DetailsHow can you be one of the world's most famous aviators without an aviator hat and goggles? You can't! Good thing this costume kit comes with both, as well as a white scarf that you can wrap and tie in different ways. Pair it with a bomber jacket and some vintage trousers for a look that will inspire others as much as Amelia inspires you.
There's only one way to look like a million bucks. You have to wear an outfit that looks like you had to have spent a million bucks on it. We're not sure about you, but we are pretty sure you don't quite have that kind of cash hanging around the house. You probably wouldn't be looking at this particular top hat to impress everyone in the world. Or maybe you are the people with a million bucks, but have realized those expensive top hats just aren't as worth it as you thought.We're not really here to judge our customers though. We'd much rather outfit them with a fantastic costume. No matter what your life is, we promise hat this hat will get your look to at least a solid 500,000 dollars, guaranteed. How'd that for a start? Now you just need your shirt, pants, and shoes to add up to the second half of your million, and you'll be set to hit up the town.
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!
Slither into characterThere are a lot of wonderful goddesses in the Greek canon. There's the goddess of the hearth, the goddess of love, the goddess of the hunt. But here's the thing, a lot of these goddesses have some serious issues. Jealousy is a major player in many of the stories. Take Medusa, for instance, totally innocent in her story, a goddess curses her with snakes for hair after she catches the goddess's husband's eye. Not cool. But in the end, who's more famous. That goddess or the once-unknown Medusa? Well, some people might be able to think of the goddess's name but Medusa is definitely more popular!Product DetailsThis lovely golden crown will make your basic toga ensemble jaw-dropping and unique. The molded headpiece has a geometric crown base and a nest of slithering snakes with menacing red eyes. The foam interior makes this headpiece comfortable to wear for hours while the elastic band will keep your headpiece in place throughout the evening. Tipping the ScalesAre you ready to create an immortal look? This headpiece will make you look like you're straight out of the legends. Pair this with any of our toga or goddess costumes and you'll have a look that'll be iconic!
A Normal FantasyIt started off like any other day: You tidied up your cottage, spun some on your spinning wheel, fed your animals, and headed to your garden to pluck any troublesome weeds. But as you labored over a particularly stubborn weed, you heard it: the warning bell. Something terrible was coming. Before you could run back into the safety of your cottage, a shadow fell across your garden. You looked up, horror welling up inside you—it was a dragon! You tried to run, but it swooped down from the sky and grabbed you in its talons, hauling you hundreds of feet in the air. All you could do was scream for help.Thankfully, your screams caught the attention of a nearby knight, and he raced to your rescue. You could see him galloping on his noble steed, following you to the dragon’s lair. Relief washed over you as one thought overrode all others:“Thank goodness I wore my good dress today.”Product DetailsObviously, it would never do to be rescued looking like a farmer! When you’re a damsel in distress, you’ve got to look your best when your knight in shining armor arrives. That’s why we recommend always stepping out in this Womens Medieval Maiden Costume. The scarlet pullover dress has a cape attached at the shoulder seams, metallic gold braid trim and puffed sleeves, along with a scoop neckline with a ruffled elastic edge and a plastic gold filigree pin with an faux oval gem at the center. It also comes with a foam headpiece that ties around the head with a gold braid.No matter what medieval monster you find yourself facing, this dress guarantees you’ll always look your best!
If you think that all Child Tan Pants are pretty much interchangeable, you're sorely mistaken. Unless by interchangeable you mean that a pair of brown-ish breeches makes a great addition to any number of costumes. If what you really think is that our exclusive Child Tan Pants are no better than beige leggings from any haberdasher or five and dime, you're in for a big surprise!Huh. To our surprise, there aren't a lot of haberdashers or five and dimes left. Technically, even though a fresh pair of our Child Tan Pants would boast finer fit and finish, their musty old pants might still hold some value among collectors of vintage legwear. We learn something new every day!Well, our Child Tan Pants are tailored to wearers of modern-day child-size pants, and we hope that means you (or your child-sized companions). Because otherwise we have no idea why we feel the need to prattle on about this superior set of slacks!

What ever are you going to wear to the History Department’s annual Halloween party this year? Last year, you went as Henry V; the year before you did a mean Paul Revere.

But you don’t care about those commoners; you are a pharaoh for crying out loud! Enjoy the 21st century while you can! 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 real-life heroHeroes come in all shapes and sizes. There’s Superman, who can jump higher than a building and shoot lasers out of his eyes (sometimes… the power sort of comes and goes). There’s Spiderman, who can do some pretty amazing backflips and climb up walls without breaking a nail. There’s Wonder Woman, who wields the Lasso of Truth and, more impressively, never loses her invisible jet.Those heroes are all pretty great, but there’s someone who’s even more heroic. And she really lived, unlike the rest of these comic characters. We’re talking about… Harriet Tubman!Everyone knows the name of Harriet Tubman. This brave African American woman escaped slavery and made 13 missions back into the South to rescue 70 people through the Underground Railroad. But did you know that during the American Civil War, Harriet also served as a nurse, an armed scout and a spy for the Union Army? She was the first woman to lead an armed expedition in the war, and guided the raid at Combahee Ferry that liberated more than 700 enslaved people. She also was an activist for women’s suffrage in her later years. Basically, this woman is a real-life superhero!Product detailsNext time you want to dress up like a true superhero, this exclusive Women's Plus Size Harriet Tubman Costume is exactly what you need. The outfit is 100 percent polyester, with a black woven shirt and black skirt. The shirt has white buttons down the center front, along with a maroon light weight woven fabric shawl that drapes over your shoulders. There’s also a white chiffon necktie that fastens in the back with a hook-and-loop fastener. Meanwhile, the floor-length skirt has an elastic waistband for comfy wear.Harriet to the rescue!We think that no one deserves more recognition and honor than Harriet Tubman, so we’re not surprised that you want to dress up like her for your next costume party. Or maybe you have a historical play or reenactment that is in dire need of a real-life superhero. Whatever your reason, all you need is this costume to bring a true human rights hero to life!
Disorder in the CourtDo you think you have what it takes to serve in a royal court? It sure sounds fancy, but life in court was never easy. You had to be careful with what you said, who you looked at, and what clothes you wore. If you made the mistake of wearing a fur that was nicer than the queen's furs, you could be sent away from court for good! On top of keeping track of courtesy codes, a successful lady in court had to remember the complicated steps of many dances. At least the royal court was comfortable, right? Not really! Castles were often rather chilly and often surprisingly crowded with lice and mice running amok through the fine royal trappings. Looking back, it's enough to make us glad for our less dramatic yet much more comfortable homes. Now, you can dress like a royal lady without having to deal with the disorder of court!Design & DetailsThis Made By Us emerald gown was designed by our in-house creative team. The long gown zips up the back, making slipping into this look easy. The velvet gown is trimmed with ornate off-white lace down the front. The white panel along the neckline and along the sleeves would make this a fashionable choice in a royal court. This high-quality gown is perfect for Renaissance Fairs and themed costume parties, making it a staple in your costume wardrobe!Rising in the RanksAre you dressing up as a lady in waiting? A traveling enchantress? A bona fide princess? Bring your character to life with the right hat, jewelry, or props. For instance, a princess might wear a circlet while a lady in waiting might wear a crown of braids or flowers. In the meantime practice your curtseys. If you're going to make it in court, you'd better start practicing now!
Back in the day, taverns weren't just cozy bars with quaint names, they were rough and tumble places! And that's why every tavern needed a fair maiden. She'd be there not only to sweep up the filth-strewn straw and collect the silver for the drinks but to add an air of civility to the atmosphere. She'd encourage people to sing a distracting ditty before two burly knights could challenge one another to a duel over who got to sit on the stool with four legs. She'd usher the local well-loved outlaw out the back door just as the Sherrif sauntered in. This is all to say, the simple tavern maiden is the Meddeival diplomat!You'll look the part when you're wearing this sassy costume. Perfect for plays, Rennaissance fairs, and costume parties alike, this costume is the perfect balance of sweet and salty! The skirt has two layers with an olive green and maroon striped underlayer and a fresh green overskirt that hits at mid leg. The included black belt can cinch up your skirt for easy manuvering. Your look is topped with the off-shoulder peasant blouse and faux leather corset with cream-colored ribbons. Whether you're serving nobles and peasants, we're sure that they'll appreciate your perfect pours. Par this look with a beer stein and wig to make your transformation complete. You'll be glad you outfitted yourself with this classic look at the Renaissance festival or for your next costumed event. Just remember, you're an essential part of the tavern experience!
Everyone knows about Jack the Ripper, and even if you're somehow just hearing about him for the very first time, you can probably deduce from his colorful nickname that he wasn't a good dude. It's also said that the infamous serial killer was never caught, which could mean he died without ever being punished for his brutal crimes. Or, it could mean that somehow, The Ripper is still out there...Nah, we're just messing with ya! Jack hasn't been heard from in over a century, so it's pretty safe to say he's long gone. But as grotesque as his acts were, he did have a certain fiendish flair that could only be found in Victorian Era London, don't you think? You can add some of that menacing style to your own Halloween outings in this spooky Jack the Ripper Costume, but we must warn you, this outfit is not for the timid. You may find yourself feeling unusually wicked while dressed in this dark ensemble, and prone to playing tricks on your friends. You might start sneaking around in the shadows, and leaving cryptically creepy notes for people to find, which could make everyone think that old Jack's back on the prowl!We wouldn't worry too much though, since we haven't heard of anyone picking up any of Jack's deadlier “hobbies” while wearing this costume. This black faux suede outfit will have you looking like a classic Victorian gentleman with a sinister secret, while the red trim featured on the vest and cloak matches the included jabot, and hints at your devilish side. Your diabolical style will be as notorious as the slasher that made it famous!
Action HeroIn comic books, superheroes save the day quickly. There's a big "Pow" followed by a "Kurthwop" and "Yoink". But for real-life heroes, the fight lasts a lot longer than a panel. Often, the fight lasts a lifetime. For Susan B Anthony, that fight started when she attended a suffragette event with her family and the age of twenty-eight. She was instantly inspired. Soon, she was the one making speeches but that's not all. She wrote articles, organized marches, and eventually, she was arrested for defying authority and casting her ballot in an election. Some people would have assumed going to jail would stop a proper Victorian woman but Susan knew her arrest simply brought more attention to her cause. Susan B Anthony didn't let anyone or anything stop her until her death in her late eighties. If fifty-eight years of devoted social action doesn't make you an action hero, what does?Design & DetailsThe perfect way to celebrate Susan B. Anthony's cause, this suffragette costume would have looked right at place on the streets of 19th Century New York. Designed by our creative team, this dress zips up the back yet has historical details that any young history buff will delight in such as the decorative buttons up one side of the skirt and the ruffled high neckline. A purple and green banner with "Votes for Women" is draped over the bodice and a matching button is attached to the breast. A wide brim hat finishes the whole look off, making sure that your little suffragette is ready to march, no matter the weather. Girl PowerIf your child loves the women leaders of history, celebrating Susan B. Anthony is a great place to start. A great costume for school projects, Victorian fairs, and even Halloween, your child is sure to do Susan proud as she continues to fight for the rights of women around the world!
Heading out on an incredible steampunk adventure always sounds like a blast! But any intrepid explorer knows you can't go on a vintage fantasy quest wearing just any old getup. Gearing up in this fashionably fanciful Steampunk Girl Costume is a top notch way to look cute and ready for excitement!In the steampunk world, you have many of the same comforts and conveniences at your disposal as you do in the modern world, except everything is a little bit different. For instance, if you were living in a steampunk society, you wouldn't just hop onto the subway or get in your car to run to the grocery store. Everyone knows that you would board a “pneumatic-actuated municipal mass conveyor” or pilot your “personal autonomous gyro-copter” to the “provisions and sundries shoppe"! What may surprise you, though, are the kinds of dangers you could run into on your journeys, which are also a little bit different. In a retro-futuristic world, you have to keep your eyes open for villainous sky pirates and their fleets of pillaging zeppelins, and mad scientist masterminds stomping around a city in a steam-powered clockwork monstrosity. Sounds like a capital adventure to us!The other thing that may surprise you about steampunk life is how cute the outfits are. Just add a pair of vintage style boots to this elegantly sporty costume, and your trendy blend of Victorian and science fiction fashion will look perfect at the wheel of a massive airship, or cutting loose on a dance floor!
