Sam Adams had enough on his hands in day-to-day colonial America, and with the prospect of a revolution, he had a pretty full plate. Luckily he knew a certain silversmith who had the tools to get the job done.He may not be a silversmith, but you kiddo is a major history buff--it’s by far his favorite school subject. So if he’s starting to think that there's a revolution brewing--or if he just likes to be the first to know everything--he'll have a great time in this Child Paul Revere Costume. With this perfected period look, your “son of liberty” won't have any problem signaling that the British are coming and saving everyone from harm. He’ll be so stately, strutting around your abode and proclaiming left and right, riding his “horse” with the wind through the backyard, sending signals by flashlight to his best bud across the street--one blink if they’ll meet at the park tomorrow (land); two blinks if they’ll meet at the pool (sea). He’s clever, your little patriot. And who wouldn’t heed his warnings? He looks so dapper, so dependable, so...well...revolutionary! This costume comes complete with a jacket and vest combo, knee pants, even a cravat and and the iconic hat! Give him some big buckle shoes, a pair of knee socks, and dig up that lantern out of the garage. Just a final hint of advice from us, though: lock up the tea cabinet…
As far as Halloween costume accessories go, hats can make or break your costume. Wearing a hat as part of your costume can be a risky choice if you’re going out. Over time, some hats can become uncomfortable or, if they don’t fit tight, can get knocked off your head easily. You don’t want to spend all night keeping track of your hat. If you’re thinking about some head wear for your costume make sure it’s something that adds significantly to the costume. Obviously, an Abraham Lincoln costume becomes more recognizable with a top hat, or a Charlie Chaplin look will be more complete with a bowler hat. In fact, a bowler hat would look great with a lot of costumes and, if you’re looking for one that will fit comfortably and stay on your head all night, all you need is this black mini bowler hat. This hat features a soft velvet exterior and fits perfectly on your head with the attached elastic string. Add a touch of class to your Halloween costume this year with this black mini bowler.
The Brave SuffragetteSuffragettes bravely fought for the right to vote around the world. International organizations like the International Woman Suffrage Alliance helped foster the movement for voting rights and equal civil rights anywhere where they weren't already law. The movement in the United Kingdom was particularly notable for getting suffrage passed through 2 laws in 1918 and 1928. A hallmark of the Victorian era, you may have thought the age of the suffragette has long passed with women's voting rights being now established. But we're thinking it's a great time to bring them back! There's plenty more to fight for, so long as you're willing to show your tenacity. So, just suit yourself up in this Plus Size English Suffragette Costume and get ready to revive the suffragette legacy!Product DetailsThis Suffragette Costume Plus Size starts with a one-piece dress that's styled to look like a skirt and ruffled blouse, which would have been the attire during the Victorian era when the women's suffrage movement was at its peak. The dress fits with fasteners in the back and comes with decorative faux pearls on the sleeve cuffs. The cameo attaches to the collar to add an authentic look to the outfit and the whole thing is finished off with a sash. The sash fits around your shoulder and reads, "Votes for Women".

It's Actually GeniusExcept for the whole "no indoor plumbing" thing, the 19th Century had some pretty cool innovations. Imagine this: You were partying hard last night, but now you have to go to brunch with some rich relatives. You should probably do something about your hair, but don't have the time or energy. Instead, you throw on a wig that looks pretty close to your real hair! Super smart - and Regency gentlemen did it all the time. Product DetailsSay hello to nobility-worthy hair without the struggle of styling it when you wear this Men's Brown Regency Wig! Dashing waves of dark brown synthetic hair are carefully styled and attached to a comfortable mesh wig cap that has a snug edge. Attached brown sideburns made of the same shade of synthetic hair lie flat against your cheeks for a realistic look. The wig can be touched up with non-heated tools. Historical Hot Guy Be historically accurate in more ways than one! None of the pretty debutantes you flirt with have to know the secret of your amazing locks.
If you’re painting your caveOr inventing fireYou want that blonde hairWhich all cavemen admireWhether gathering by dayOr hunting by nightEveryone lovesA well-coiffed troglodyte-Prehistoric caveman poemWe have studied every fossil and ancient cave painting we could find in order to bring the most accurate replica of the typical caveman hairdo directly to you. It turns out that cavemen most commonly had neatly parted, tidily styled, bright blonde hair. Who knew?If you’re going primal this year then you can’t do without our Deluxe Caveman Neighbor Wig. It is made from durable synthetic hair. We tried to get the real thing, but last year all of our interns got badly clubbed when we made them shave actual cavemen. This comfortable wig fits comfortably thanks to its secure mesh cap.
Ras to Ruins"Oh great Pharaoh, thy cartouche shall live through the ages and immortalize thy name among the peoples of Egypt for all time. O thou great Pharaoh, God-King, Ra as man, whose influence brings the Nile's nourishing floods anew each year, whose will is law, by whose word we live and die, amidst whose glory we are blessed to spend each day, and to whom we give all supplication and due honor. If it is found by thy will suitable, if perchance thine immaculate spirit should acquiesce, if indeed it were possible and if thou has the time, wouldst thou come to mine Halloween party? That would be dope."While that’s not the weirdest invite we’ve ever seen, we are still surprised that your host decided your costume for you. Still, you’ve come to the right place! Here you go, Pharaoh, your costume awaits!Product DetailsThis Adult Egyptian Tunic Costume is fitting for the main god of Egypt. The stylish foam headband with its molded vinyl cobra can be worn with or without the accompanying striped veil, as the Pharaoh desires. The belt has fabric ties and the most opulent faux leather and brocade ribbon draping on the front. The large rectangular crushed velvet can be draped in many ways across the broad shoulders of the Lord of the Nile, or the less-broad shoulders of the Lady of the Nile. The Pullover tunic has cap sleeves to give Pharaoh that extra oomph that he needs to have confidence in the morning.Oddly Shaped TombsGiant squares? Nahh. How about intricately carved likenesses of each individual? Boring. You’ve been through all the shapes, and the time to decide is now, while you're 30. That’ll give your builders enough time to put the finishing touches on your tomb before you die in 30 more years. But what shape is best? As you stab yourself in roof of your mouth with a tortilla chip, it comes to you in a flash! A giant triangle! Perfection.
What we do in life... echoes in eternity.So says General Maximus at the beginning of the classic Ridley Scott film, Gladiator. While that is some expertly written and memorable dialogue, we hope it's also a true statement. But we have no idea! What do we look like, metaphysicists?? We don't know what happens in eternity! But if our life echoes within it, we're glad you're taking a look at this officially licensed General Maximus costume, because it's epic enough to wear forever.The only thing we'd advise against is getting into any actual Roman battles wearing this thing. It's made of latex and not metal as it appears. That being said, you could probably frighten some barbarians with it, but we don't really recommend that either. That would require a costly trip to Germany, and also a time machine to around 180AD. That's also where you'd have to go to get the real version of this armor. Since that technology doesn't exist, we think our version is an amazing first realistic choice!Since this costume has incredible details and quality (How about that realistic armor and fur trimmed cape? It's straight out of the movie!) we think you should go to a party, wait for the exact right moment, then step up into the spotlight and give an incredible, awe-inspiring speech to all your fellow party-goers. That's what Maximus would do! You'll be remembered in poetry and song as the greatest general Rome had ever seen... to give a rousing speech while holding a red Solo cup."Brothers! What we drink tonight... will echo in our bodies tomorrow, and possibly eternity!"*drink responsibly
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!

History, in GeneralYou've seen history play repeat itself.

Top this costume off with a white George Washington wig and they'll look right at home at Mount Vernon. Perfect for President's Day, Fourth of July, school projects, and even Halloween, this costume will be a favorite for any history buff in training!

A Herculean TaleKids have a wild imagination. You never really know what kind of world they're imagining when you look at them. You might take a glance out of the window and see them playing outside. But they might see it differently. They might be on a legendary quest. You may see them waving a stick through the air, but to them, they're defeating a mythological beast, just as the mighty Hercules did in his tales. They might be playfully wrestling with the family dog, but to them, they're facing off against the deadly Cerberus. He's running through the park, but in his mind, he's bravely standing up against a legion of bad guys!Well, how about helping your little one's imagination a bit with an amazing outfit? This Made by Us Kid's Roman Warrior Costume gives your child a classic look, straight from ancient history.Design & DetailsOur costume designers are big fans of Roman and Greek mythology. That's why they wanted to create an outfit that captures the look of Hercules. This Roman Warrior Costume starts with white tunic. It also comes with a faux leather chest armor piece, which has red and gold detailing to give it a regal look. It also comes with a red cape, which attaches to the shoulders. The final piece of this costume comes in the form of a leaf crown, which has a metallic paint job. Just place it on your child's head and they'll transform into the greatest warrior that the Roman empire has ever known!A Warrior's CourageIf your child has a wild imagination, or if they just have the guts to fight a hydra with their bare hands, then this child-size Roman Warrior Costume is the perfect outfit for them. Just make sure to equip them with one of our trusty toy swords!
Plenty of powerful women have made their mark on history. Zenobia conquered Europe and even had the guts to stand up to the Roman Empire. Empress Wu Zetian expanded education and increased economic prosperity in China during her tenure. Amy Schumer proved that women are way better at gross-out humor than guys! Of course, few women hold the kind of reverence as the fiercely intelligent and classically beautiful Cleopatra.From an early age, all the way to her death, she truly broke the mold of what society thought a woman should be. She used her sharp wits to wrestle control of Egypt away from her brother. She snuck herself into the presence of Julius Caesar, cleverly hiding herself within a rug being delivered to him. She commanded her naval forces with deft precision during the Battle of Actium. She did all this with elegance and style. Even Shakespeare, a man born centuries after her untimely death, was enamored with her story. Now, you can step into her alluring shoes with this Cleopatra costume for women.Now, we can’t guarantee that any fancy English playwrights will craft a tale of your exploits while wearing this exclusive plus size Cleopatra costume, but it will make you feel like a regal figure ready to rule over her subjects! The costume comes with an elegant gold dress, complete with shimmering details fit for a pharaoh. It also has beige accents and colorful designs along the bust. It even comes with a beige cape. Once you have it on, you’ll feel ready for a cruise along the Nile (or the closest body of water to your costume party).
Back in ye old colonial days, you didn’t have to worry about pesky things like getting a hair cut every three weeks, or the onset of male pattern baldness, or even having to wash those long locks on a regular basis! All you had to do was get yourself a fine wig, some powder, and boom: You were looking right and tight!And while there's not much that we would bring back from the colonial days, being able to rock a wig ranks right up there. And now here's your chance: This Mens Colonial Wig will add a touch of historical accuracy to any colonial or revolutionary costume. Sporting a short ponytail in the back that's tied off with a black ribbon, this wig is so slick you'll be tempted to trade in your baseball hat and just slip this on your head on those bad hair days (we don't recommend that, though...those days are over bro, and also, you'll look insane)
Clothes Make the ManNo! Crowns make the man. This crown, in fact, makes you into a Viking King. Or Jarl. Or Chief. Or whatever the rest of your costume says about you. Hmm… ok, we admit that clothes influence the initial impression of the man somewhat, but nonetheless, we maintain that crowns are also very powerful in terms of first impressions. So there.Besides, who ever heard of someone taking control of vast armies without a crown? Well, we suppose the President of the United States doesn’t wear one… or any generals… Ok, we admit that that was another bad example, but nonetheless! We adamantly oppose the idea of allowing costumes to remain incomplete. It’s just not right.Hordes of HoardsOne of the best features of a crown is that it implies that you’re either fabulously wealthy or immensely powerful. Whichever it may be in reality, you will certainly be the target of many curious courtiers wondering whether you have hordes of terrifying pillagers, or hoards of tantalizing coin.I’m Viking that CrownHere’s another thing people will say! Get it?! Viking?? Liking?? Well, in our office poll at Halloweencostumes.com, 3 out of 100 people thought that this was a funny pun (yes, it was us).
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!
WHICH WENCH IS THE WITCH!?It's hardly a kind sounding word: wench. Very few sentences out there make it feel much better, either. But, that's what time does to some words. Back in the Middle Ages, wench (for the most part) just talked about a young woman... though they were usually of the servant caste. That, of course, means that not many of the folks with power or the then wealthy academics had a whole lot of great things to say about them. So, there went that word... But, the fun of jumping back to the Renaissance is being able to reinvent what happened and fill the tales with some new storytellers. Perhaps this servant girl in the tavern is no mere want-to-be cinder girl. Perhaps she's secretly the hero of the tale. Perhaps she's been toying with some new magical tricks and is just about ready to unleash a potion that will bring those haughty nobles to their knees and turn the tavern tables right around on them! Mwahahaha!DESIGN & DETAILSIt's time to show the whole Renaissance world who truly controls the realm! (It's the gal who determines who gets to drink, naturally.) Our designers have poured their heart into this authentic and high-quality look so you can fill the role of the Lass of the Tavern with this costume. You've got all the details that you need to really feel like you own the inn thanks to the ruffled arms and peasant cut of the shirt, the textured trim and metal buckles on the vest, and the long, two-layered skirt featuring a ruched hip-high tie. How you accessorize will finish the flavor of the character you create! EVERY TALE NEEDS A TAVERNNo matter what story we're being told or telling to an audience, there's always a place to put up your feet. It might start at the tavern or have them show up at the inn but, either way, you'll be there to make this tale terrific thanks to this Tavern Woman Costume!
This costume is so wonderful, you’re bound to want to hold court and tell all your friends how fabulous you feel in it!After all, being a lady in waiting is actually a great gig. You get to live and work in the palace without all of the pressures of actual politics on your shoulders. You get to wake up surrounded by the finest art, gilded goblets, and crystal chandeliers, take baths in big porcelain bathtubs and drink tea from fine china, but you don’t need to plan executions, strategize budgets, or try to win battles. We’d take that job! Since one of your roles as a court lady is wardrobe care for her highness, you’ll want to look as though you know what you’re doing. This Lady in Waiting Costume shows the queen you are worthy of your four poster bed, velvet and satin linens, and place of privilege at her side. You'll be most welcome at court, and without a second thought as to whether you need to raise the merchant tax!Not to mention, you’ll look so stunning in this ensemble’s purple and green dress that you’ll hardly miss hitting that top tier of power. You just love walking through the royal garden with the flowing drapes of your sleeves blowing in the breeze. Yes, life here is sweet. And who knows? You may even snag yourself a knight of your very own. The perks of living at the palace never cease!
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.
Hitch your wagons!Did you grow up reading the “Little House on the Prairie” books and dreaming about living in your very own sod house? Maybe you wistfully imagined milking cows before dawn and churning cream for 20 minutes straight to make your own butter. Maybe you longed to have the chance to spend the whole day doing laundry at the nearby river, or live in an underground home with a dirt floor and plenty of critters crawling underfoot.Or maybe your dreams ranged farther west, toward that great American journey: the Oregon Trail. Do you bitterly regret missing the romance of walking fifteen miles a day alongside your covered wagon, rubbing axle grease on your lips to prevent blisters and taking Epsom salts to try to cure your excruciating dysentery?

The exclusive costume is 100 percent polyester, which we admit wasn’t invented until about 100 years after the Oregon Trail period, but it still looks authentic, and honestly, it’s a lot more comfortable.

The floor-length brown skirt also has a zipper in the back for the same reason.Westward, ho!With this costume, all you’ll need is a covered wagon, six oxen and about 50 pounds of lard, and you’ll be all set for your very own Oregon Trail adventure!

THE LEGENDE OF THE MAIDEN FAYREThere are few things more magical than the idea of whisking back to the past and living out a dream of a medieval fantasy. About the only thing that can compare is bringing your kiddo along for the ride. Just imagine the tale that you both will craft.

Terrifying or Tempting? That dumb Poseidon. It's all his fault that you're in this pickle. You let him pick the meetup spot, but when the goddess Athena found the two of you using her private temple as a date rendezvous, did she blame the true perpetrator? Nooo. Which is why you now have snakes instead of hair. The new 'do isn't all bad, though. No one really expects you to blowdry, spray, or curl anymore so you can go with the natural (and we mean natural!) look. For another, it's surprising how versatile snakes can be. You can go for the "sultry sorceress" vibe or play up the hissing to cultivate a horrifying persona. It's your call! Product Details Your exclusive Medusa Snake Costume Accessory Kit contains everything you need to star as everyone's favorite Gorgon. Simply style your hair as desired and clip in the three cute-but-creepy snakes. Voila! Serpentine yet sweet. Everyone will want the name of your hairdresser.

The kingdom is in danger.First there was the goblin problem. Now there are pirates threatening the coast, trolls at the bridges, an evil wizard or two, and of course, the dragon.Not just any guardsman can take on these evil forces. Our warrior must be trained in combat, handy with swords, shields, daggers and spears. They must be light on their feet, fit, and wise to deal with such evil invading the kingdom. We'll definitely need a knight. Becoming a knight is an arduous process. A knight starts as a page, works up to squire, and finally, after years of training and shadowing, they earn the mantle of knight. They are the best warriors our kingdom has to offer.But we don't really have time for the whole 'training" thing (sounds like that dragon is getting hungry now (not to mention the trolls and pirates). Is your kid up to the task of defeating evil? Are they agile and swift? Smart and cunning? Do they have some mad sword skills? If so, our kingdom could use their help. Just deck them out in the proper armor: our Child Black Knight Costume. It's a black tunic printed with a shield, a mesh hood and sleeves, with a faux leather belt and gloves. Once they have the outfit, they'll need a weapon. Once they find that, they have our full blessing to go take on the dragon... if they're up for it.

The layered draping outfits fit great on everyone, no matter where their problem zones might be hiding. No wonder the Romans invented pizza! Now, we can't transport you back to a time when people dined laying on their sides and worshipped the God of wine but we can make your Roman garb game strong! This eye-catching helmet would make the Trojans wish they had helmet's this slick.

Stone Cold LegendMedusa gets a bad rap. Yes, her head of snakes turns men into stone with one look. But can we revisit why she kept on running into guys again? She wasn't hunting down innocent men in bookstores. Imagine her laughing after she pulled a "Made you look" and left a clutch of bookish granite statues behind. That's a pretty funny image, but it wasn't her style. She tried to stay far, far away from all humanity. Those Greek soldiers just couldn't leave a cursed demi-goddess alone when she created a challenge fit for a hero. So, yeah. There were casualties. But we would argue that if you go hunting for a head of snakes, you shouldn't go crying blaming a demi-goddess when you turn into a blob of rock!Design & DetailsWear your crown of snakes with pride when you slip on this Medusa headband. The snakes are adjustable with a shiny scale pattern on the surface. The gold eyes and forked tongues will make your hairdo look like a living legend. Want to fully transform into your Medusa form? Pair this snake headband with one of our elegant Greek or Roman goddess costumes to bring this ancient myth to life!
Sometimes, the world just needs a rebel. What would have happened if Robin Hood just decided that he was going to obey the Sheriff of Nottingham's unfair rules and taxes? Sherwood probably would have been torn down to put up a parking lot or something (history isn't our strong suit).

Just make sure you grab a bow and arrow accessory and brush up on those actual archery skills before taking on this role, because the good people of Sherwood will be counting on you to stop the Sheriff of Nottingham!
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.

Life as a PioneerThe pioneers were brave people. A picturesque life on the prairie included all sorts of dangers. Relentlessly hot summers gave way to brutally cold winters. People would look up from their work when and see a wall of prairie fires headed toward their farm, growing taller with each foot of grass that was consumed. Then there were the terrifying swarms of locusts that not only ate the crops but would devour the clothes and the clothes line if the laundry hadn't been brought in fast enough.So why, after all that trouble, do we remember the days of the pioneer so fondly? It was a time of hope. Those people with limited options who had only known the crowded city streets of coastal cities could find a place where they could watch the sunset and rise on an open horizon. They could build something all their own and truly be free. The communities out there were the definition of tightly knit. And how awesome would it have been to travel by covered wagon?Product DetailsWhen your daughter dresses as in this dress, she'll feel as free as that pioneer girl collecting herbs and roots on the prairie. You can almost imagine the larks singing in the grasses as she spins around in the long skirt. Whether she's starring as the charming Laura Ingalls Wilder for in the school play or the whole family is headed to a Rendezvous, this costume will make you feel sentimental for that sun-washed, simple time. One thing is for sure, it's hard not to get into character in this ensemble. Next thing you know she'll want to trade in her tablet for hoop and stick game.

Aphrodite may even be so honored that you're wearing her traditional style of dress, that she could ask you to sit by her!
Goddess, hear the pleas from your people! They wish to bear witness to your incredible grace, your unmatched wisdom, your blinding beauty. Please, come down from the heights of Mount Olympus so they may cast their eyes upon you. But wait! You can't simply stroll into town barefoot like a common lowly hobo (no disrespect to hobos, of course)! No! You're a goddess! You've got to strike just the right note. But how... what would be worthy of a goddess? What could a goddess possibly step on that would be worthy of the touch of her feet? If only there was some solution... somewhere on this page... hmmm...Oh! Of course! These golden sandals are the perfect solution! Slip these on, lace them up, and let the golden leaves flutter as your throngs of admirers kneel before you, ready to kiss those feet of yours... if they are worthy, and that's a big if.
We can’t all be Caesar! Well, wait a second… maybe we can. With a Gold Caesar Circlet, it’s pretty easy to at least feel like a Roman Emperor. Hopefully you’ll run more toward the Augustus side than Caligula or Nero, but hey, we hear they threw great parties! If you can’t tell, it’s not a bracelet (unless you’re the Hulk). No, this circlet is a golden crown, meant to resemble a laurel wreath which symbolized victory in war to the ancient Romans.You can be a Roman general returning in triumph after a battle in Gaul or Asia Minor, a gladiator who’s won his freedom at the Colosseum, or an early Olympic athlete in this Gold Caesar Circlet. It’s a perfect accessory for any Greek- or Roman-style costume, or a decadent addition to any look really. We can certainly imagine Kanye wearing it with red leather or oversized sweats more than a toga. If you have the ego of an emperor, this Gold Caesar Circlet will communicate it to the world for you so you don’t have to be so commanding.
Don't Judge a Tut by its TombThe crypt had stood in silence for generations. Dust was everywhere, thick like fallen snow. But, as the adventurers stepped into the room, sending particles flying into the air, they couldn't help but cough until their lungs were raw! As the dust settled and the torchlight filled the room, they saw it against the far wall. Light glinted off the gold and bronze. The gemstones gleamed under the flickering flames. The Sarcophagus of the Tomb! Their lungs burned. Fear gripped their hearts. The adventurers turned and fled, screaming about the curse that had certainly afflicted them.Then, King Tut just sighed. Tut shrugged, turned around, went back through the secret passage to the tomb's kitchenette and turned off the stove. "I guess I'll save the tea for my next guests." It would have to be another decade of The Great British Bake Off and Mary Tyler Moore reruns. Unless! There was one other chance to make some friends...Design & DetailsIt is time for the season where even the spookiest of curses are welcomed with wide arms. Our Made by Us design team is happy to clean you up and get you ready for the event with this King Tut Sarcophagus costume. This is a long robe that zips up the back and is printed all over with gleaming gold, gemstone patterns, and designed inspired by ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. The robe has foam stitched into the panel for a stiff look (so hang it up before wearing) and the head and chin-piece have matching options to complete the illusion. Pick up some gold body paint or gloves to permanently etch this awesome look in the memories of all who look upon you! No Curses IncludedThanks to the refined look of this King Tut Sarcophagus costume, you'll be Tutting around the Halloween shindig in no time. Folks will be wondering where that myth of the curse even came from... so long as they treat you right, anyway.
Everyone knows that being a goddess would be amazing. But what would be the best color outfit for a goddess to wear while going about her celestial business? Purple, of course! When your little one is dressed up in this Purple Goddess Costume, she'll look like she'd just strolled out of an Ancient Greek myth!There are a few purple things in the natural world, like grapes, lilacs, and a few flashy birds and lizards, so people have been aware of this pretty color for quite a while. But throughout history, purple dye has been notoriously difficult and expensive to make, and in the case of the dye called "Tyrian purple," which was made of rotten sea snails, it was also pretty gross to make! This meant that for most of history, only royalty and the very wealthy could afford to wear purple outfits. But no goddess is going to be thwarted by earthly technological restrictions like that, and if she wants to wear a purple dress, she's just a snap of her fingers away from having the chicest look on Mount Olympus!Luckily, this dress doesn't require divine intervention (or even rotten snails) to get its stunning purple hue. The cream colored synthetic gown and shoulder drapes transition to a heavenly purple color, which is complimented by gold details and brocade ribbons. Once she puts on the included gold headband and a pair of ancient style sandals, she'll be the best dressed goddess at any Greek costume party!
All Aboard! Is everyone seated? Time to move! This stagecoach has a schedule to keep.

Product DetailsLook like a classy hero in this exclusive Black Coachman Hat! The accessory has a tall, rounded crown and a sturdy brim that curves up slightly above each ear. It's the perfect final detail to sell your steampunk or historical outfit. Hats off to You Some accessories always seem to give off a certain vibe. For instance, socks with sandals appear to say, "This was an unfortunate - but comfortable - fashion choice." Black top hats, on the other hand, are always awesome! Whether you're a courageous hero or a dastardly villain, you're sure to make an impression.
Living HistoryThe Revolutionary War was such a notable moment in history that the memories still survive to this day. In fact, the memories of this event that happened more than 200 years ago are so fresh that there are said to be many ghosts of the soldiers of the battles to this day. It's said that the people of Boston still hear Paul Revere's horse galloping down what was once a cobblestone road near the Granary Burying Ground. In Yorktown, there are many historic houses that have garrisons of ghosts that were taken in to heal from war wounds and stayed there long after they departed.

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. Can we take a minute to admire his wild hair style and that awesome mustache? That whacky look is the kind of thing that makes science look like a whole bunch of fun!Albert Einstein does look a little bit like he rubber his hair on a helium balloon and that’s exactly the kind of reason your little genius will want to dress up like the iconic mathematician. This costume comes with everything you need to turn your child into just that sort of whacky scientist!This exclusive toddler Einstein costume brings you a look straight from the history books. The jacket and pants combo are both made to look like something right out of the German scientist’s closet. A blue tie is also included to make sure your kid gets Albert’s signature style just right! Of course, no Einstein costume would be complete without that hair and the mustache, right? That’s why this toddler outfit also comes with a frizzy white wig and a puffy white mustache to help your child get every detail perfect. 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.
There are a bunch of perks to being the very first of anything, especially the first president. Sure, you don't have a previous president to blame stuff on, but it also means you are totally allowed to make stuff up as you go. Step into the shoes of the guy who literally wrote the book on being the US president with this George Washington Costume, and add some patriotic authority to your day! Every American knows who George Washington is (at least as the "dollar bill guy"), but it's impossible for us to know what he was actually thinking when he became the country's very first president. He managed to make it work, but what kinds of things could he have done during his presidency that would have made the government a lot stranger? Could he have issued an executive order that all disputes in Congress were to be resolved by a potato sack race? Or, that the president got to wear a superhero style cape as part of their official uniform? It sounds weird, but compared to some real parts of the government, not that weird. No need to worry about looking weird, though, because when you're dressed in this presidential outfit, you're the boss (as long as you also get a majority vote from the costumed electoral college). The overcoat, vest, and matching trousers are a fine example of 18th Century style, and be sure to add a powdered wig to complete this Founding Fatherly look. Whether you're wearing it for a historical reenactment or play, or just having some patriotic costumed fun, you'll look truly revolutionary!
Versailles VirtuesLife as a king in the late 1700s was a social one. In fact, kings were almost never left alone. From the moment Louis XVI woke up in the morning, he was surrounded by servants, advisors, and top guys from his various councils. And yes, luxurious royal activities abounded. He had to get his wig powdered and shaped. He went hunting with the boys. He entertained dignitaries in the hall of mirrors (we'll give you one guess what the walls of that hall are decorated with). Our point? The royal guy was super busy! With all the little details he needed to cover to keep his royal household happy, it's no wonder he lost track of what his subjects wanted!Details & DesignThis luxurious costume is Made by Us, meaning the king's top looks have been researched by our in-house designers. The high-waisted short pants, the long jacket, and the waistcoat all have a Rococo-inspired trim, making it look right at home in the over-the-top trappings of Versailles. You'll love the little details from the buttons to the lightweight cravat. Just be sure you avoid any swarms of angry French peasants. Heads UpLouis's reign might not have been a popular one, he's the only king that literally lost his head in the end. But we like to think that his ungraceful exit from the throne room was a symptom of the times rather than a personal hit at this fashionable king. If it hadn't been for the expensive wars, the uncomfortable wigs everyone was wearing, and the fact that the peasants wanted freedom and access to food, Louis probably would have been fine! How can you stay mad at a man wearing gold filigree trimmed short pants? Whether you're heading out with Marie Antoinette on your arm or you're making your royal debut solo, this costume will allow you to start Louis's reign fresh!

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

Long before there were awesome things to watch on modern TV, like pro wrestling, epic summer movies, and binge-able television shows, people had to get creative to stay entertained. Otherwise, they might have died of boredom, which considering how much easier it was to kick the bucket in ancient times, was probably a legit possibility. However, a citizen in Ancient Rome could always take a trip to the local arena to see a gladiator fight, which would liven up a dull afternoon in no time! Though back in those days, if your attention couldn't even be held by watching two dudes in flashy armor get into a bloody brawl, you could test your prowess by stepping into the arena, yourself. It wouldn't be our first choice for entertainment (since gladiators had notoriously short careers...), but if you have an unquenchable thirst for action, a life in the arena might be your ticket to glory!In the modern age, battling to the death for sport is usually frowned upon. But when you're wearing this Plus Size Roman Gladiator Costume, you'll have the look of a fearless ancient warrior, so you can fight for honor in a new type of arena. Yes, we're talking about costume contests, which aren't nearly as gruesome as classic gladiator fights, but can be just as ruthless, and the stakes just as high! This striking costume features nearly everything you'll need to get the edge over your opponents, including foam and faux suede leather-like armor pieces. With this fierce, ancient style aiding your quest for glory, you'll be the undisputed champion of the costume contest colosseum!
