At Death's DoorWhen Anubis got a job as the underworld's bouncer, he didn't think he'd have any trouble. After all, the folks at the party were literally dead. What uninvited soul would want in this particular club? Well, it turns out, there are always people lining up to get into the Necropolis to "try and rescue" someone in their life. You know the drill, some guy is always trying to bring his soulmate who was taken too soon back to the land of the living. With a dog like this at the door, no one will dare cross death's door without an invite. Product DetailsStay comfortable all Halloween with this molded latex mask.

And when the living talks about how Hades let so-and-so take a challenge and escape death, Anubis strongly reminds them that his Necropolis is an exclusive city, not some down and out river of the dead like the river Styx. That kind of attitude is exactly why this jackal god has always been the only guy for the job!

Arr for ReinventionAs the Renaissance was winding down, you saw fit to reinvent yourself—artists can't have all the fun. You traded in your small patch of earth. Swapped your peasant blouse for a threadbare captain's jacket and took to the sea. A pirate's life was calling to thee, and you felt ready to make a name for yourself. Perhaps even claim a bit of an island under whatever fearsome name you were given, which led to further considerations. Your simple garb was plenty but plain. Colorful names like Black Bears, Barbarossa Brothers, and Calico Jack don't come without inspiration. You needed an identifier.Design & DetailsAlways the practical pirate, you decided a unique but functional accessory like this exclusive Renaissance Belt would do the trick. Complete your seaworthy outfit with the faux leather Made By Us costume accessory. Its unassuming black color makes it an easy addition to any motley ensemble. However, measuring 70-inches long, it stands out from your typical belt options. Adjustable to nearly any waist, you're free to expand more than your horizons while sailing the ocean. Simply tie on and secure the right length with the belt's silver D-ring fastener, and you're well on your way!
Country MaidenEveryone always wants to dress up as a Renaissance princess. But here's the thing. When it comes to beauty and elegance, dressing up as someone from the royal court in the 1600s isn't where it's at. Towns and courts in the Renaissance era were so very dirty. In fact, if noblewomen wanted to go anywhere they wore shoes called "chopines". These were extremely tall platform shoes that helped keep hemlines free from all the animal muck and sewer mud in the streets. Unlike modern high heels, these shoes required women to be accompanied by friends on each side just to keep a lady upright. No, when it comes to dressing up in the Renaissance era, you want to be a fresh country lass. No lead-based makeup, platform heels, or suffocating layers of skirts to hold you back from all that 1600s style fun!Design & DetailsThis Celtic Renaissance dress was designed by our in-house creative team. The dress has a gorgeous off-the-shoulder chemise in clean white. The forest green overdress fastens up the front with adjustable laces for a corset look that's quite comfortable. The uniquely cut dress is trimmed with silver and green Celtic trim at the waist for a look that hints at the romance of the highlands!Meeting At the FaireAre you headed to the Ren Faire this year? Dreaming of dancing around a maypole and biting into a whole turkey leg with abandon? If you want to live out your historical fantasies, make sure you're not encumbered by pounds of velvet skirt and stiff corset boning. This Renaissance costume will make sure you feel comfortable while also looking stunning in front of castle backdrops. Whether you're heading to the Renaissance Faire or Scottish festival, taking part in a play, or dressing up for Halloween, we're sure that you'll love slipping into this Made by Us historical costume!
We Can Do It! It was the 1940s and America was deep into the second War to End All Wars. With so many men shipping overseas to join the fight, business owners were starting to get worried.

A Lightbulb MomentWe know you’re a brilliant inventor. Just look at that machine you created that can butter bread while also brushing your teeth? (That one took a few trips to the hospital before you perfected it!) And don’t you hold a patent for a mega-jumbo-automatic flyswatter that can smash all the flies in a room at once?

Now, if you could only perfect your spring-soled shoes that also do your taxes as you bounce to work, you know you’d earn the fame and fortune you deserve!But be careful… There are other inventors out there who are eager to steal your ideas. Just look at Thomas Edison. He stole your lightbulb idea right before you were about to patent it!

The Ultimate AnswerWe all get asked the question from time to time. 'What's your favorite animal?' We all naturally have a quality answer to that query (even if it might change a few times over the years). The dog is well known as humanity's best friend. Then you've got the cat who has clearly won the Internet. From aardvarks to zebras, there are so many adorable, strange, and wonderful critters in the sea, on the land, or in the air.But allow us to suggest that we expand the definition of 'animal' a bit and offer you an even better option. Legends speak of all sorts of amazing creatures but few are more inspiring than the Pegasus. Start with the noble beauty of the horse, taking note of its indomitable strength and a truly epic mane of hair. Now add the grace and aerodynamic ability of a bird, too!? (When you add in the fact that they can swim, too, you've got an all-terrain triple threat!)Design & DetailsIf the magical majesty of the winged horse is what you seek, you're going to love this Adult Heavenly Pegasus costume! This hooded jumpsuit was designed by our Made By Us team to help you live out your Greek Mythology costume dreams. Start by shaping the wings to your liking and get ready to soar thanks to the hook and loop patch. Next, step into the metallic knit cuffs, creating a shiny hoof-like illusion.Zip up the front for an easy fit and pull up the foam-backed hood to show off a faux fur mane and perky ears. The pearly velour fabric will have you feeling supernaturally shiny so all that is left is to practice your Pegasus prance! (Team up with a friend in a Hercules costume to really go the distance.)
Check out this awesome Egyptian Crosier. It's one of the fanciest looking staffs around and it will be perfect for completing your Pharaoh or mummy costume.

Although it looks enchanting enough to perform any number of magical feats we can assure you, we've tried everything. Besides looking absolutely amazing, there's not much more to this staff.However, it could be possible none of us here were truly worthy of wielding this crosier's full power. Maybe you're some sort of chosen one, meant to bring back they ways of ancient Egypt and rule with an iron fist. Well, there is only one way to find out! Get your hands on this accessory to complete your costume... and if you happen to unlock its mythical powers, just remember all your friends over here at halloweencostumes when you take over the world. We think a little bit of 1st class treatment is only fair for those who helped you reach the position of ultimate supreme leader.
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?
It's a Tough Job, but...It's a brand-new day, and your task is clear: Track down all of the season's most lovely and charming debutantes and charm them with your wit, style, and striking good looks!

The set includes a black patterned vest that can be worn on top of a white shirt of your choice. A dickey embellished with a crisp white cravat fits down the vest front. Dress the Part Many ladies dream of the handsome suitor who will spar flirtatiously with them and take them for romantic horseback rides across the pre-dawn fields. You're just the man to make those dreams come true, especially when you're dressed like a character from a beloved historical series.
Go Go GorgonThe Gorgons are myths of iconic proportions, though most only know of them via their matriarch, Medusa. But Medusa is merely one sister of three! She’s the youngest of the three serpent-haired and cursed aquatic sisters who could turn mortals to stone with just a gaze. While the others, Stheno and Euryale might have been immortal, it was only Medusa who etched a place in all our memories. It’s not a happy tale, Medusa’s. Unfortunately for her, cursed by Athena for no good reason, Medusa became a horrible snake-headed monster that everyone feared until another demigod showed up with a bevy of blessed divine artifacts and beheaded her!Design & DetailsThere’s a lot of power in rewriting myth. You can do just that in our exclusive Women’s Plus Size Deluxe Medusa Costume! It was tough to create a look based on a woman who can’t be looked at, but our amazing designers have worked a miracle and created this legendary look. It’s a green and scale-printed bodysuit that will give you the serpentine sway that tempts all mortals. It has the added detail of extending along your hand with a ring sleeve. The bronze halter dress drapes around your hips with a long Grecian drape between your legs. The final detail is a luxurious green faux gem brooch that matches the scales. And because it’s one of our Made By Us exclusives, you can worry less about the quality of that scaly bodysuit and more about how to tempt your mortals. Pick up a serpent wig or detailed bow and take your revenge on Perseus and Athena!Medusa Seduce YaWhen you are garbed up as this glorious Gorgon, know that the striking the right pose may stiffen folks into stone. You'll want to practice this with care to make sure it doesn't happen by accident because there aren't many ways to fix the cursed power of this exclusive Plus Size Medusa Costume.
Why should you try to hide your greatness? The ancient Pharaohs from Egypt never tried to conceal just how awesome they were! They build giant monuments to themselves during their rule and enormous pyramids to house their bodies after death. They wore some luxurious jewelry and plenty of gold and shiny stones. Truly, they were the original ballers of the world! It’s about time that you followed the footsteps of the most lavish kings to ever rule the ancient world. It’s time for this All Powerful Pharaoh costume for men.Our costume designers pulled out all the stops on this high quality outfit! This men’s Egyptian style costume brings you the look of an ancient king, complete with a black bodysuit, belt and wrap. The pieces have shimmering gold accents to give you a regal look that will make any subject feel your awesome might. The belt even has golden hieroglyphics on it for added effect. Of course, no pharaoh costume would be complete without some great accessories, so this one comes with a cape, some gold armbands and a luxurious headpiece that looks like something that King Tut would wear. What else could a king ask for (except complete and total subservience from his servants)?So, don’t hide away! Stand tall and proudly proclaim your birthright to the throne… or at the very least have a really magnificent time dressing like an ancient king. When you wear this costume, you can choose any of the great Egyptian Pharaohs. We suggest you go as Ramesses the Great, because he’s a total boss.

This cool and unique costume combines Victorian era elements and the Wild West to create a one-of-a-kind outfit that will look lovely at the Oamaru steampunk festival or your neighborhood Halloween party! Pick up a pair of steampunk goggles as a fun accessory to pair with this blouse and tiered skirt. This outfit comes with a built in lace petticoat and even has a faux suede corset with cord lacing and metal buckles. You’ll need to pack your own steampunk-appropriate footwear, and make sure your shoes have good traction--there’s a nifty steampunk-themed playground in Oamaru and you’ll want to be able to climb the post-apocalyptic mechanical elephant (Yep. Really).

Fun Sherlock Holmes fact: The phrase "Elementary, my dear Watson" does not appear anywhere in the writings of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Holmes's creator. It is a line from the 1929 movie The Return of Sherlock Holmes, spoken by actor Clive Brook in the title role. According to anecdotes the phrase MAY have also been used earlier, by actor/playwright William Gillette in an 1899 stage production of Sherlock Holmes, but there is no written evidence of that. Interesting, no?? These are the types of things you can tell people all Halloween long... and you can also keep an eye on that Dr. Moriarty and make sure he's not doing anything weird at the party like stealing lightbulbs or thumb tacks, that sort of thing.
Zeus on the LooseLife is never boring when you're Zeus! Don't believe us? Well, check out this brief history of the Greek god! When he was born, his Titan father, Cronus, decided to eat him because he thought Zeus might grow up to overthrow him. Well, Rhea, Zeus' mother, didn't approve.

Anthony was a real firecracker who knew that the only way to make change happen was to start it herself.

Just Another Manic Munch-dayEvery artist has a different specialty. Some are wonderful at framing reality in a totally different way. Others are great at bringing reality to life. But they all convey different emotions. Monet knows how to convey a completely peaceful French countryside. While Manet brings a little more energy to his peaceful French hoity-toity party scenes. Dali was always trying to make people feel a little unhinged whereas Leonardo da Vinci smoothed things over and made us think. Picasso was everywhere, making us feel blue one in one period while lightening the mood in another. But Munch's mood is more obvious than the rest. If you're looking to bring Munch's manic attitude to your next costumed event, we can think of no better costume than the Screamer!Product DetailsSimple is the name of the game with this look. Wear a neutral ensemble and let your face do all the talking when you fit this painting around your face.

That's right, with an over the top scream. You decide if you want to keep it quiet or not. Feeling lonely thematically? Pair up with the Mona Lisa to make this a couples costume masterpiece!
Deer in Headlights Have you ever seen someone so incredibly attractive that you just felt... frozen? You couldn't move, you almost couldn't blink, and you definitely couldn't manage to stutter that perfect pickup line that you'd practiced a hundred and twenty-seven times in private. That might have been a little like what heroes felt when facing Medusa. She's just so gorgeous that it was almost scary - and the snake hair was literally terrifying, so between the those two attributes, even the most intrepid adventurer was toast. And Medusa had one more statue to add to her collection! Product DetailsYour beauty will reach mythical proportions when you wear this exclusive Stunning Medusa Costume for Women! The deep green pullover minidress is made of comfortable polyester jersey knit and features an incredibly flattering plunging V neckline. The butterfly sleeves are edged in metallic gold ribbon. Decorative metallic green mesh drapes from each shoulder and is anchored by a faux snakeskin epaulet. A metallic gold geometric border rings the skirt's hemline. Fasten the metallic gold snakeskin belt around your waist and crown yourself with the snake-detailed headband! And the Champion Is...The Ancient Greek poets wrote a lot about how awesome heroes like Hercules, Jason, and Achilles were, but how awesome could they really have been compared with Medusa? Sure, they knew how to sling spears and fire bows, but could they turn an enemy to stone with just a single glance? Of course not. Could they turn into a winged horse? Um, no. Medusa wins every time.

We guess you’re serious about taking gold in the costume competition championship, eh?Ever since you took over teaching Ancient Civ you’ve been wondering what your favorite historical era would truly be like.

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!

Tipping the scalesCats were seen as gods in Egypt. Most of us already know that little piece of info. But here's the thing. Most of us have had cats living with us. They're nice. They're adorable. But they can also cause a lot of havoc. Can you imagine what it would be like to have cats roaming around that can't be disciplined? They'd wander into the mummifying room and meow at the priests for attention. If those priests were to busy to give them a cuddle, that cat would sidle up to one of the four canopic jars, make eye contact, and slowly push it off the table, brains and all. And we can't even imagine what a mess a cat would make with the mummy wrappings. Lucky for Bastet, cats couldn't be touched. In fact, last year architects found a tomb filled with mummified cats and a fancy cat statue honoring the cat goddess.Product DetailsThis sleek costume has a flattering fit. The jumpsuit is trimmed with gold and has a golden collar. The fitted pants have a belt and a floor-length panel giving you an authoritative Egyptian air. Your cat-like features are finished off with a gold and black tail and a crown with distinctly feline ears. With a gorgeous, fitted look and golden details, you'll feel as graceful as a cat and as regal as a goddess. What else could you ask for?Egypt or BustDressing up in Egyptian garb is always a lot of fun. Why? Well, you can always take your look to the next level. Using gold, turquoise, and black makeup you can apply a classic Cleopatra eye. Dust gold sparkles over your skin and get hold of an Egyptian staff to take it a step further. And when your look is complete, don't forget to pose for your household kitty. You're sure to get a round of a-paws!
Who Wants to Be King?!Having your father return from his year-long, self-imposed exile is a pretty big deal. There is no easy way to welcome the king back after a long absence following a terrible defeat. Maybe the best thing to do is simply challenge him to single combat right then and there?Well, that is a fight that no one in their right mind would willingly take on. No one wants to be the one who killed Ragnar Lothbrok!

A fiesty first lady"Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of husbands. Remember all men would be tyrants if they could."Dang! Abigail Adams didn't pull any punches, did she? Actually, this fiesty first lady made a reputation for herself as one of the most eloquent figures in the early history of the United States, and that's pretty impressive when her husband, John Adams, was known as one of the best letter writers (kind of like history's bloggers) of the period. Some historians even say Abigail was a better writer than her husband, and she didn't have half the chances at a fancy education that he did. So, you go, girl!There are plenty of role models to choose from when it comes to America's First Ladies, but we think Abigail Adams is one of the best. Not only was she a staunch supporter of women's education, she also spoke out against slavery and took a keen interest in her husband's politics. In fact, because she was so politically active, some people started referring to her as "Mrs. President"! It's no wonder that you're thinking about dressing up like her for your next costume party, and we can help!Product detailsThis exclusive Plus Size Women’s Abigail Adams Costume is sure to be a hit, whether you’re going to an inauguration or just a costume party. The red, long-sleeved pullover dress is 100 percent polyester, with a zipper down the back center for easy wear. The collar and sleeve cuffs are trimmed with lace, while there is elastic in the waist for a cinched look. Take it from us, girl: You will be the most fashionable belle at the regency ball!Good evening, Mrs. PresidentShow off your patriotic side and wow the crowd at your next costume party with this costume. We promise that if there's a vote for best costume, you'll win by a landslide!
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!

To the Tavern!Back in a more civilized era of bar-hopping... when bars weren't called "bars" but taverns and inns, and they were filled with the sounds of mirthful merry-making and slurred folk songs as opposed to deafening EDM beats... men dressed just like this fine fellow you see above.

The Medieval Tavern Man Costume truly has it all for renaissance merry-makers. Just don't forget to have a look around at our boots, wigs, and other medieval accessories!
No shrinking violetWhile some Disney heroines come from royal backgrounds, sing to birds, and live for a good ball, one of our favorite ladies from the world of Disney checks absolutely zero of those boxes. Her origin story stems from the underworld. She sold her soul to Hades to bring back her deceased boyfriend who then left her for another. That's a lot of flaws for a Disney heroine! But that's the thing, Megara makes mistakes. That's what makes her so likable. She looks at her world with an edge. And when a hero shows up looking to save her she lets him know that she's able to tie her own sandals, despite the hero's baby blues. And yeah, Megara gets elected to betray Hercules but in the end, she sacrifices herself to save him. That kind of courage is not the trait of a shrinking violet, despite the hue of her gorgeous dress. Product DetailsThis gown will make you feel like you're part of an epic adventure. The top is finely pleated with sheer, sparkly fabric. The neckline nods to Megara's Greek background with swirling medallions on each side. It has both an empire cut and a satin-textured sash in the middle, accenting your waist. The skirt is layered with sheer pleated sparkly fabric and a solid purple base. Top the whole look off with our Megara wig and you'll be ready to set off on your own epic adventure. You Tie Your Own SandalsWant to get in touch with your Disney heroine side with a sassy twist? Megara is a great choice to let your saucier side run free. So tighten your sandals and sharpen up your own comeback skills that you can throw out even when you're struggling to escape a monster's paw. Whether you're heading for Hades or a costume party, this costume will be a hit with Hercules fans, everywhere!
Round Table ReadyIf you went on a quest, what do you think it would be? There are the classic quests, of course. The ones where you're sent off to rescue a maiden from a high tower or find the spring of eternal youth. But that maiden can save herself, she'll probably befriend her dragon captor and ride on out of there. And the fountain of youth isn't nearly as important when you've got access to plastic surgery and hair dye! Maybe you could go on a quest to solve modern problems. Hunt for a pillow that's the right balance between flat and fluffy. Or you could head out to fight people who want to post spoilers to popular television shows before anyone can even get to the end of the episode. Ready for your modern quest? You're going to need a modern lady knight costume to make it work!Product DetailsThis costume is both tough and chic with a sleek dress that has faux leather accents to make you look ready for a fight. Gray fabric is layered over a soft chainmail texture base. A dramatic cape falls off one shoulder to make each of your entrances a showstopper. The look is polished off with a metallic helmet headpiece, silver gauntlets, and a faux leather belt to make sure you're battle-ready. Say It With Your ShieldWant to make your outfit yours? We think this costume would look great with a sword and shield combo. Then, whenever anyone brings up a subject you don't want to talk about, raise the shield so they know that it's off limits. No matter what battle you might be fighting, you'll look ready for anything. Want to make this into a group's costume? Peruse our Rennaisance costumes and you're all sure to be knighted with Halloween honors!
2016–2020Love 'em. Hate 'em. Either way, you can't deny that it was a wild ride having the business man-turned politician for the U.S. President during those years.

The latex mask is molded to look like him during his tenure as the president. It has a simple, pullover style and it features eye holes in the front and ear holes on the sides of the mask.
Sophisticated and SanctifiedDid you know that Egyptian pharaohs were considered divine? How could they be anything less? They were well-dressed, adorned with beautiful jewelry, and had the full attention of everyone in their kingdom. Can you imagine the epic parties that the Egyptian gods and goddesses took part in? We can only envision people waving a palm leaf over them while they were being fed grapes and enjoying endless amounts of wine.

It's hard to run the streets when you can't run. Here's her secret. She carries soap on her person whenever she's out and about. She simply swipes keys from polished bars at the pub and makes a mold in the bar. So not only does she always smell good, she's got plenty of keys in her pouch as well! She's got a key for every steam-run machine on the streets. She can drive that steam-run elephant no matter who welded it together. She's got a key to the glass and brass tower on the edge of town. The number of mysterious puzzle boxes she could open with her keys is amazing! Want to look like you know what's up when it comes to the ways of the steampunk wave.

Renaissance BallerHad the term “baller” existed during King Henry VIII's reign, it definitely would have been applied to him. We're talking about a guy who decided that he didn't like the church's rules, so he made his own church. We're talking about a guy who walked around wearing jewels on his fingers, around his neck and let's not forget that he had owned more property than a real estate tycoon in New York City. He spent his mornings hunting instead of working and he spent his nights gambling and playing cards. He could shred the lute like a boss and he even wrote a best-selling book of his time. Of course...a few of his wives ended up being executed, so not everything he did was totally awesome, but maybe with a little help from you, and this King Henry costume, you can rewrite history!Design & DetailsBeing a baller from the 16th century starts with kingly regalia and this costume delivers. It's with a tunic and jacket combination that's designed to make you look like English royalty, since the tunic has a floral pattern and the jacket has pronounced shoulders, gold trim, and faux fur. The stockings give the appropriate look of the time, since those were totally cool back then. The hat mimics the one worn by the king, since he wasn't a fan of wearing a crown when it cramped his style. Of course, no 16th-century baller costume is complete without a neck chain, which this costume also includes. Yes, you'll be rolling in style like a king when you wear this outfit. You may even catch the eye of a young Anne Boleyn when you head to the party wearing this stylish costume.

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?

Deadly HandsomeFirst of all, don't panic. As a smart, persistent archaeologist, you've spent years and years researching your hunches and convincing the world that a forgotten pharaoh's tomb has yet to be discovered. Finally - finally! - you've gotten some attention and funding and are able to prove your theory. But wait! Just as you've brushed the last bit of desert sand from a hidden door bearing the name "Tutankhamun," a close friend runs panting to your side, shouting for you to stop. Don't you know, he asks, that all pharaohs' tombs are cursed? Well, yes. They are cursed. That's true. However, good old King Tut isn't the unleash-the-mummy's-fury kind of guy. He's lonely and bored, and eager for some well-deserved fame. In gratitude for uncovering his tomb, he's decided to confer on you a different kind of curse - the curse of being irresistably attractive to any woman you meet!

The outfit includes a comfortable ivory tunic with an attached sheer blue cape that goes underneath a flattering belt complete with a hieroglyphic-printed drape.

Pharaoh's RewardAren't you glad you listened to us and opened the pharaoh's tomb? Ever since his relics were discovered, King Tut has granted you the gift of killer good looks. All that attention can be overwhelming at times, but we think you'll manage!
Modern Age MedusaWe often wonder what would happen if the Medusa was around in our modern age. We know that people who looked her directly in the eyes would turn to stone. That much would still apply. But what about video calls? If she rang someone up on Zoom would they turn to stone on the other end or would they be able to talk over her plans for renovating the ruins she's been living in over the past thousand years? Then again, would she be able to go out and about without anyone turning into marble if she wore a pair of sunglasses? Or does one glance at the rest of her face make you sedimental? Maybe stepping into Medusa's shoes for a day would give us a little inside to the rules and regulations of modern-day Medusa!Design & DetailsThis gorgeous Made By Us Medusa costume channels Ancient Greek mythology from head to toe. The featured dress flows beautifully and is trimmed with a golden geometric pattern around the hemline. A subtle snakeskin sash is layered over the top, falling down one side in a toga-like fashion. Cinched at the middle with a jeweled snakeskin belt, the dress is sure to make your child feel mystical as soon as she slips it on. The legendary ensemble is topped off with a golden crown with distinctly snake-like shapes jutting from the top. Love the hair our model is rocking? Check out our wigs to get this little Medusa's full look!Tipping the ScalesWhile most kids are a little scared of snakes, this ensemble is sure to make your child feel powerful! While it's perfect for Halloween, your kid might want to break it out to do a project on the Medusa story in school or put together a skit at home. After all, when you have a costume that's this legendary, you just can't take it for granite!
While everyone searches endlessly for the most shared memes, the most relevant pop culture, and the most timely politics to inspire their costumes this year, wouldn't you rather prop your feet up on a nice, big stone and enjoy the simpler things in life? Like attire made from the coats of wild jungle cats. And fire-roasted squirrel. And we mustn't overlook the dry safety of a hole in the wall....No? Well, even if that's not your thing, we've got the perfect costume if you aim to let some other primal instincts loose this Halloween. Even if squirrel stew somehow doesn't pique your interest, consider the hilarity that could ensue if you made "sorry, it's just my instincts" your sole excuse for all your wild behavior. You ate all the deviled eggs? "Not sorry, I haven't eaten in four moons." You got caught dancing on the host's dining room table? "Sorry, but it's a ritualistic, instinctual thing you modern bipeds wouldn't understand." You are being interrogated over the scent of snacks emanating from your purse and coat pockets? "While you all are hunting each other, someone around here has to be the gatherer." This one-shoulder sheath mini-dress will make a perfect costume for exploring any of the above possibilities—or for forgetting about the complexities of modernity and dancing like the animal you are. We approve wholeheartedly of the aforementioned scenarios, but cannot promise that all your instinctual impulses will be necessarily "lawful." Exercise caution—but not too much, you wild thing.
