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.
This morning, after just walking through the door, your boss told you that he needs a bunch of extra work done before lunch. Your computer crashed, and it took over an hour to get it back online.

Taking You to TaskHercules had a lot to prove. He knew he belonged in Mount Olympus! Unfortunately, the drama of the gods landed him in the hands of mortal humans. In the end, there was a compromise. Hercules had to complete 12 labors. And these labors, they were hard! He had to slay a nine-headed monster named Hydra. He had to capture the bull that had given birth to the famous, dangerous minotaur. And finally, he had to return Cerberus, the three-headed dog from Hades, to Olympus. Basically, Hercules had to face down a lot of many-headed monsters! Lucky for you, you don't have to complete any tasks to take up the famous Hercules persona. Well, only one. Purchase this Hercules kit. Once it arrives, everyone will assume that you've already been to Hades and back, playing dog-catcher.Costume DetailsThis kit includes a headband, a pair of faux leather gauntlets, a belt embossed with a golden lightning bolt, and a flowing blue cape. The belt easily secures around your waist with a strip of hook and loop fastener in the back. Pair this set with a tunic and gladiator sandals and you'll look like you just popped off an ancient urn, into real life. Good thing too, we could use a few more old-school heroes!Toga Today, Toga TomorrowWhat is it about the ancient Greeks? So many of their characters are still everyday, household names. Maybe we like their characters so much because the style in ancient times was pretty cool. Who wouldn't want to drape themselves in togas and rock wrap sandals? If you want a timeless costume, Hercules is a great choice. That way, when you're telling stories about this Halloween to your grandkids, your grand epic won't be interrupted with questions about who Hercules is. Good thing too, the tales of your grand labors deserve to be heard!

She married King Arthur, the guy who put together the roundtable and founded Camelot. She spent a lot of time wandering through the forests of ancient England.

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!
Scientists have theorized that it takes more than 10,000 hours of practice to become great at something. 10,000 hours! That means you have to start training your kid now if he ever wants to be the best knight he can be. If he wants to survive killing the dragon, and saving the princess.You’ll have to find the best swordsmen to teach him the craft. He will need to learn Bonetti’s Defense, the Capo Ferro attack, and the Thibault, and Aggripa swordsmanship styles. He will need to learn to ride a horse, and to joust. (You never know when jousting will come in handy.) And he will need to practice while wearing armor. This way he doesn’t get slowed down in a fight because he isn’t used to it.Well, we can’t really help with the swordsmanship, although we hear that Inigo Montoya is pretty handy with a sword. But we can help with some training armor. This Toddler Knight Of The Dragon Costume will help your son learn what it is like to fight with armor. He should wear it for 10,000 hours to get used to having it on. He should also train for that many hours too, just so he has an upper hand when he comes face to face with the terrible dragon who is keeping the princess locked up in the tower. We wish him luck on his quest!
Battle isn't all about offense there, buster. You might think you can charge into the fray, wielding nothing but your deadly barbarian axe of slaying, but what happens when there's warrior on the other side of the battlefield wielding the same axe?

It looks just like something that a Viking marauder might use to defend himself during a vicious battle. Of course, this prop is just that! A prop. So, do go out and try to block sword attacks with this thing if you value your life. It DOES, however, make for one awesome LARPing accessory. So, whether you're headed into pretend battles, or you just want to look like a glorious Valkyrie, then this shield is exactly what you want in your off-hand.
LITTLE SISTER GOES BIGTIMEThe myth of the Gorgons goes largely unknown by many, despite the fact that just about everyone has heard of Medusa. Did you know that Medusa is just one sister among a trio? She's the youngest gal of the three serpent-haired and cursed aquatic sisters who could turn mortals to stone with just a gaze. While Stheno and Euryale might have been immortal, it was only Medusa that made the history books! Talk about a little sister with things to do. Unfortunately, the youngest Gorgon sister doesn't have much happiness to her tale. Cursed by Athena for no good reason, Medusa became a horrible monster that everyone feared... at least until another demigod showed up with a whole bunch of blessed divine artifacts and beheaded her! Of course, we're talking about a time of magic and mystery. And now is the time to rewrite some of that story! DESIGN & DETAILSDespite it being really tough to create a design based off a gal that is impossible to look at, our designers have worked a miracle and created this legendary look. Our exclusive Deluxe Medusa Costume is 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. Pick up a serpent wig or detailed bow and take your revenge on Perseus and Athena! A PETRIFYING POSEWhen 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 Medusa Costume.
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.

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.

If a man was a Viking, he was tough by definition. Violence was normal, he was most comfortable when forming a shield wall with his tribe. For Vikings, the world was a brutal place. The icy winds of the sea would have been whistling in the ears of the Norsemen since they were babes in the arms of their equally tough mothers. They were handling battle axes as soon as they could tottle around. With that harsh environment, it's no wonder they grew all the hair they could to protect them from the multitude of unforgiving elements, from the cold weather of the Norwegian seaside to the flying debris of the battlefield. You can't transform yourself into a Viking warrior if you ignore the epic long hair and beards of these northerners. The red locks of this wig are typical of people with Norse heritage. All you need now is one of those horned helmets and you're ready for battle. Now, shout it out with your fellow Norsemen, "Shield Wall!"
Extraordinary GodsGreek gods were kind of boring. Zeus just looked like an old guy with a scraggly white beard. Hermes was just a normal looking dude with some wings pasted on his feet. Cupid was a flying baby. That’s all fine and good, but what if you want to be an ancient god that truly looks extraordinary? Then you need to look at all the Egyptian gods from the ancient world. Talk about extraordinary! Sobek was a walking talking crocodile. Sekhmet was a female goddess who had the body of a woman and the face of a lioness. But that’s not even the best god of them all! That title goes to Anubis.Yes, Anubis was the god of being awesome! Wait, that’s not right. He was actually the god embalming and mummification. He also held the important job of guiding the souls into the afterlife and judging whether or not mortals were worthy of entering the realm of the dead. But, most importantly, he had the head of a jackal! Can you name any Greek gods that had the head of a jackal? Yeah, we didn’t think so!Product DetailsNow, you can look like the Egyptian god when you wear this plus size Anubis costume. It comes with a black top with a pair of matching black pants. The sash and waist belt help add an ancient Egyptian style to the look, while the collar adds the regal appearance of a pharaoh. Of course, we know why you’re here. You want to wear the awesome Anubis mask! It’s shaped like a jackal’s head and comes with a gold and black headpiece.Zeus is JealousOnce you have this Anubis costume on, you’ll feel anything but ordinary. Even Zeus will be jealous of your jackal-like face as he looks sadly at his boring lightning bolts.
Et Tu, Brute? Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears. We come not to bury Caesar but to celebrate his fantastic sense of style. Imagine all the things that Julius Caesar accomplished in his lifetime. He led a the mightiest of armies. He named himself dictator of the Roman Empire. He conquered Gaul - not that Gaul's natives appreciated this acheivement. "We were FINE, Caesar!" they said. "Go open your national smoothie chain somewhere else!" Or something like that. None of these successes can compare to the fact that he made a breastplate, a man-skirt, and knee-high, lace-up sandals look good. People are still wearing his footwear thousands of years later. That's a real victory! Product Details Your subjects will be in awe of your lordly threads when you wear your Julius Caesar men's costume! The sleeveless polyester jersey is pullover-style, because ain't nobody got time to work buttons when they're leading a military charge or running from 60 murderous Roman senators. A red satin cape billows impressively behind you as you stride across the battlefield. It attaches to a gold collar that's printed with some awe-inspiring winged lions and filigree detail. Matching armbands keep you protected while you battle and the accompanying gold laurel is perfect for encircling your noble brow. If you really want to be daring, nix the shirt! Nothing says confidence like a Roman dictator. Ruler, Conqueror, Fashion TrendsetterYou're all that and more! Embrace the daring and devil-may-care duds of one of history's greatest warriors as you claim your destiny (we hope it includes plenty of glory and very few pointy knives). Strut into the Senate with your head held high. Unless it's the Ides of March - then staying home and watching TV is the name of the game!
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!

What are kings up to these days? They might have nice cars, live in mansions, and wear golden watches. They might employ suited up men with earbuds. The thing is, even if a king gets driven in a nice car these days that automobile is nothing compared to a golden chariot. That fancy mansion isn't much compared to alabaster columns. Really, just take a gander at the pyramids, they are just the king's graves! So, yeah. When we're talking about kings, we know who did it best!You may have heard about Tutankhamun, Ramesses, and Amenhotep being supreme rulers and sure, they all lived a pretty lush lifestyle. They were followed by guys in skirts who constantly fanned him with palm frons. They were seen as Gods with large headdresses, makeup to the max, and crazy stiff beards. But even with all of that pomp and circumstance, none of those pharaohs could rock the Casbah like this guy- paleontologists have translated the hieroglyphs on his epitaph as Partyonman. The name fits, this King had the sweetest party pyramid in all of the land, a golden tube in his burial chamber hints that he might have invented the first beer bong. Quite a legacy!You won't have trouble convincing underlings to carry you into parties when you're wearing this costume. It includes a sleeveless pullover, gold trimmed tank with a gold trimmed skirt. You'll also get a royal headdress, gauntlets, and a faux leather medallion with a jewel on a necklace. You'll feel like solid gold and you'll look like a king but not just any ruler, King Partyonman!
The Power of the Ancient WorldJulius Caesar. Marc Antony. These names resonate with action and might - but not more so than their larger-than-life contemporary, the legendary Egyptian queen Cleopatra! Their fellow ruler had a knack for thinking outside the box, setting up successful espionage, and mowing down any obstacle in her way. Also, it can't be denied that she had way better style than either of those two Roman guys. There's just no comparison between a boring white toga and a sensual, draping gown with golden details and jewels. Product DetailsBecome the original boss babe when you wear this exclusive Queen Cleopatra Costume for Women! The pullover sleeveless dress's bodice is made of shimmery gold-tone faux linen fabric with a V neckline and flattering ruching.

The glorious final touch is the golden faux leather headband. Make Way for Royalty Bow down to the queen! Wearing a costume this amazing may make you feel like indulging your royal side: Go for it! Sail down the Nile on a gilded barge, stock up on delicious figs and grapes, and maybe start an international incident or two. Cleopatra would certainly approve. The only things you should probably avoid are snakes. They're bad news.
ROMANS, COUNTRYMEN, HERE IS OUR GEARThere is a reason that the classic look of the Roman toga will never go away. It isn't just that it is crazy fun to dress up in one for your collegiate party.

Some people put on a polo shirt and a name tag when they go to work. Other guys like Maximus Decimus Meridius, well, they put on a frightening armor and grab a sword.

Ancient KittyOf all the animal kingdoms animals, Mother Nature bestowed the felines with some serious regality; it’s just no wonder the Egyptians deduced that cats were connected to a higher power. Cats do what they want, when they want, and they do it with confidence. It doesn’t matter where a cat is hanging out, or what time of day it is. Give a cat access to YouTube HQ and it would delete everyone’s videos before knocking the CEO’s pen off the desk. We like to imagine the cats of the Nile getting tangled up in the mummifying gauze and looking up at the dignified priests like, “what are you going to do about it?”Design & DetailsChanneling this energy, the feline goddess Bastet owned every room she entered. She was, in other words, a boss. She ensured the mothers of Egypt were taken care of with watchful eyes. She made sure the rodents of Egypt didn’t eat the spoils of the fertile crescent. In some circles, she even got the impressive, war-like title of protector of Egypt. We like to think that all cat-lovers have Bastet inside them somewhere. We know your little one does too. So if you want to let her sharpen those claws, our Bastet Goddess Costume for Girls will be perfect for her. It’s one of our exclusive Made By Us collection, so you can sleep well knowing that love and care went into every stitch of your little one’s new costume.Walk Like an Egyptian CatIt’s about time we put imbue cats with the respect they once had (and deserve)! No more embarrassing cats with YouTube videos of them getting caught in blinds or bouncing off walls after getting their fill of catnip. Bastet—erm, we mean your little one in this Bastet costume—will set it right.

Fortunately, this Poseidon has two secret weapons: His natural charisma and his fantastic outfit! Oh, and his trident, but that's a different kind of weapon and not as much help in this scenario.

Power, seduction, deceit, and gold eyeshadow. This is the legend left behind by the timeless queen, Cleopatra. She ruled Egypt and influenced Rome. She took down anyone that got too jealous of her natural born power. People still talk of her dramatic love affairs and her awesome eyeliner game, and we should. Hollywood drama has nothing on this Memphis powerhouse.What would happen if Cleopatra were alive today? We don’t think she’d be super impressed with the rich and powerful people of the world. Sure, they didn’t have cars back in the day but is that really an upgrade. We’ve given up fancy horses and golden chariots, not to mention golden boats floating down the Nile. Have you ever seen those Egyptian horses with fancy feathered headdresses? Yeah, a Mercedes Benz can’t beat that, at least when it comes to making an entrance. Cleopatra was really good at making an entrance. Have you ever been introduced to an official Roman dignitary after rolling out of a carpet? If you have you’ve beaten us and everyone we know in the interesting person game.If you’re ready to get in touch with your all-powerful ruler side than this Cleopatra costume can help you out. The dress is perfect for those hot nights on the Nile with light weight floor-length golden fabric. The collar is stately with black and gold stripes. No one is going to doubt your authority with this black panel and gold hieroglyphics and a crystal belt over top that matches the crystal and gold headpiece. You’re sure to make that legendary entrance with the golden cuffed sheer cape. If you want to roll yourself in a carpet and get yourself delivered to the party, that would be epic. Just remember to stay hydrated and pack some snacks!

Suiting up in our exclusive John Smith Costume is the perfect way to look dashing for any occasion!Packing up your home life and setting sail for a whole new continent, like John Smith did when he helped establish the Jamestown colony, can be a scary thought, but it could also be full of excitement, mystery, and maybe even great fortune! As exhilarating as it sounds, though, it is not a life for the timid, and you'll need to be cunning, clever, and possess nerves of steel (along with a ton of other useful skills and traits) to be a successful explorer. But when you set out in a rugged and roguish looking costume, you'll at least appear as daring as a famous explorer, which may be all you need to turn the tables in your favor when you find yourself in a tough situation.Now, we're not saying this exclusive costume will make you a successful explorer or Halloween adventurer, but it's a great place to start! The wide shouldered tunic and dark blue pants go well with a pair of cuffed boots, and the included faux leather shoulder strap look good by itself, or with additional costume belts and toy flintlocks for extra detail. Be sure to add the matching blonde John Smith Wig to complete this classically intrepid style, and set a course for adventure!

Don't Take that Throne with ME!Cleopatra might have born royal but she had to struggle to rule. First, it was her little brother that tried to take the throne. Then it was her other little brother. Because of her ambition, she was tossed out of the capital city. Tough stuff. This might have stopped someone less intense. But Cleopatra is an icon for a reason! The down and out queen had her servants roll her up in a carpet and sneak her into the capital's palace when Rome's king was visiting. When she was unfurled, her fearless nature, witty way of speaking, and relentless charm were enough. She was an obvious leader. She convinced Rome's king to back her up in her bid for the throne. With moves like this, there was no doubt that Cleopatra earned her crown!Design & DetailsWe love making our historical costumes extra fun, fashionable, and comfortable. That's why our Made by Us Cleopatra crown is made with comfortable foam while featuring plenty of sparkle in the gemstones and sequin trimmed centerpiece. The crown is trimmed with beads the echo Cleopatra's signature hairstyle so you can be sure people will recognize your iconic character as soon as you enter the room!

A Beloved TaleOne day many, many years ago, a young Isaac Newton was napping on the grounds of his school when the teacher whose class he was supposed to be taking stumbled across him. The teacher shook him awake. "Why aren't you on your way to the lecture?" he demanded. "Um," Newton was beginning to say when an apple fell on his head. "Because I am busy discovering gravity!" he finished. "Yes, that's totally what I was doing here." We're pretty sure that's how the story goes, anyway. Product DetailsDress just like a genius mathmetician in this Sir Isaac Newton Costume for Boys! The outfit includes a long green jacket with lapels, flared cuffs, and white ruffles sewn around each wrist. The mustard yellow vest front features a row of white buttons. A ruffled white cravat fastens at the back of your neck. The knee-length gray pants have a comfortable elastic waistband. Add a touch of historical elegance with the faux shoe buckles that secure under each shoe via elastic bands. The Power of Math Scientific discovery isn't just about completing boring homework problems. It's about looking at the everyday world with curiosity and testing cool new theories about the things that fascinate you! Someday you could be remembered as the kid who proved an obscure volume principle by trying to figure out how many pieces of broccoli you could hide under your dinner plate. If you're feeling generous, you can even thank your broccoli-loving parents in your speech when you accept your award.

The bow of your ship cuts a sharp cold line in the blue-gray sea. It's been almost a year since you've been home and you can almost see it now. The pine trees interrupt the horizon line and the current changes as you head for the bay. You and the crew are coming home with plenty of loot, there will a grand celebration in the mead hall tonight. Sometimes you miss the simple village life but there is nothing you'd rather do than raid with the rest of your crew. There's no better life than the life of a shield maiden. Why do we always picture Viking women with two tightly braided plaits? It's probably because they were too busy to come up with any other styles and keeping their hair out of the way was paramount. Those busy women were raising children by dangerous fjords, drying fish, spinning wool, and sometimes even participating in raids. We'd like to see the class bully try yanking the hair of a Viking girl, he would never want to see a pigtail again.

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.

He's going to need to gather up as many of his countrymen as possible to protect his beloved homeland.

Or will they over-sleep during naptime and miss the whole thing?Leonidas calls his men to sound the alarm and shake the battle rattles, alerting everyone to the critical situation. He wishes he could send out messengers with information about what's going on, but he hasn't learned to write yet, and he's sure the rest of the troops haven't learned to read yet, anyway. This is a terrible predicament! As the Persian forces draw nearer, Leonidas knows time is running out, and he has no idea how to rally his army to victory or even escape himself.

Can Do Kind Of GalThe World War Two effort involved everyone. It wasn't just about the men fighting the battles, people back home needed to contribute. Old women took apart clothing to sew and knit bandages, mittens, and warm socks for the soldiers on the front. Children harvested milkweed for life jackets. Families saved fat drippings to make soap for the folks abroad. Stepping up was a matter of civic duty. So when it came to building ships, preparing artillery, and riveting together planes, women proudly stepped up to the plate! With so many of the young men fighting overseas, there was an overwhelming amount of work to be done at home but it wasn't long before the nation's men and women came together to proclaim, "We can do it!".Details & DesignReady to balance grit with glamour?

Avoiding HenryAs husbands go, any royal woman in the 1500s will tell you to avoid Henry the 8th. This changeable king had a fragile ego and a hard head. He changed the course of history just so he could legally annul his marriage and marry his new crush, Anne Boleyn. Poor Anne was only queen for a short while before the tides turned and Henry became suspicious of his young wife's past and her current pastimes. We're sure the complicated politics at court certainly didn't help the queen very much! In short, the queen came to an untimely and extremely public end. Still, her style and wiles still shine bright, hundreds of years later. If she could have avoided the king's eye, we're sure that Boleyn would have been a major influencer of the 1500s!Product DetailsA staple of 16th-century fashion, this Anne Boleyn kit would look right at home in Hampton Court. The cap is trimmed in ladylike details. Pearls trim the dark green velvet headband while golden ruffles are tucked underneath for a lush effect. A black veil falls over the back, covering your hair for that distinct 1500s modesty. The large pearl necklace with a large gold-tone "B" is straight out of portraits of Anne Boleyn, making your character unmistakable!
WunderkindMozart composed his first symphony at the age of 8. At that age, we were mostly playing with action figures and watching cartoons while we ate breakfast cereal. Yes, we know. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart may not have been an ordinary boy. He was more at home in the orchestra pit than on the playground at that young age, so it's really no wonder that everyone still talks about the composer to this day! But anyone could have that spark of talent waiting to be honed!Does your child have some unusual skills in the art of music? Maybe they like to compose songs of their own or perhaps they're a perfectionist when it comes to constructing their playlist for the day.

The white cravat has a very formal style and fits around your child's neck. Of course, every great composer wears a pair of fancy pantaloons! This costume comes with a pair of blue ones that feature an elastic band around the waist. All of it combines for a look that will have your child feeling like a part of music history!The Next MozartEven if your child isn't quite composing full operas yet, you can still get them ready for a life of music! Just dress them up in this Kid's Classical Composer Costume and you might inspire them to write their first concerto. Who knows! After that, they might even go on to become the next Mozart.
Home, Home On the PlainsThe plains might have been where the deer and the antelope roamed. And yeah, sure you might not have heard a discouraging word very often. But that doesn't change the fact that life in the prairie was crazy challenging. The land was ripe for planting once you plowed up the sod. But then you had to hope that a mob of grasshoppers wouldn't fly through eating everything in their path including the clothes hanging from the clothesline, the clothesline, and very curtains on your windows. And if it wasn't a year when locusts were popular you could worry about crazy fast wildfires, drought, and well water contamination. You probably know the drill if you've ever played Oregon Trail. But even though life on the plains was so hard, people still did it! And they managed to stay looking perfectly sweet while doing so!Product Details & DesignThis Made-By-Us costume has little details that'll make you stand out from all the other pioneers. Our designers researched historical costumes and took aspects such as the curved collar and the crisp ruffle down the front. The subtly puffed sleeves, the ruffled apron, and softly flowered skirt all come together to make you feel right at home on the prairie. With high-quality seams and a zipper up the back, this is a look that you'll be able to wear again and again! Want to include the whole family? We have pioneer costumes for every age range and size. Don't Be a Prairie ChickenIf you love the great plains, don't hold back! Show your love right on your sleeve. Lucky for you, you can wear this outfit without having to live in a sod house. Since it's perfect for school projects, town festivals, and plays you'll be happy to have this look in your costume collection. Now, if only you could get ahold of a pet buffalo to finish your look. . .
Four score!"Four score and seven minutes ago, kiddos brought forth to this playground, a dodgeball game, dedicated to the proposition that all tykes can compete equally. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that dodgeball game can long endure if the upper grades keep snatching away the balls. We have come together to dedicate a portion of this recess period to the dodgeball game because it is awesome. It is altogether super sweet that we should do this."Whoa. Gave you chills, didn't it? We're not saying that young Abraham Lincoln strolled out onto the recess fields and uttered these words to his schoolmates, but imagine if he had. It would have been the most inspiring game of dodgeball ever. The majestic fields filled with fallen heroes who couldn't duck out of the way fast enough when the ball was hurled at them, and the proud heroes who still stood after catching the ball that flew their way.Now just imagine that kind of inspiration today with your own little aspiring Abraham Lincoln. Whether it's filling up a Halloween bucket with candy or wowing the crowds at a school play, this Boys Abraham Lincoln Costume fits the look with plenty of presidential goodness. It's a costume that's good enough for Mount Rushmore!Design and DetailsThis classic Abraham Lincoln costume comes with a Jacket/vest combo, bow tie, and the tall black stovepipe hat. The 100% interlock knit polyester fabric holds up well in any surroundings, and has sewn-in black vest pockets just in case he needs to carry a speech with him! You'll need his own black pants to complete the style, and a beard to replicate President Lincoln's iconic style (sold separartely.) Pro tip: this costume ensemble works great for other historical figures, too, check out the second picture to see our model depicted as Frederick Douglass!
The Hundred Dollar Founding FatherBen Franklin was one pretty smart guy. He invented bifocals, edited a newspaper and got himself on the hundred dollar bill. Have you ever seen his journals? He liked to ask all the questions. How else do you wind up flying a kite with the intent of getting struck by lightning! Okay, we still think his whole "flying a kite in the middle of a thunderstorm" idea might not have been the best idea ever since that could have really turned out badly, but he's a genius, so who are we to argue? All of humanity is now in his debt. We wouldn't want to go back to living without electricity. How would we charge our phone?Of course, history is filled with amazing stories and Ben Franklin is part of many of those American history stories. That's why we like this costume so much. It's the perfect opportunity to learn about our rich history!Product DetailsThis costume makes your little history buff look just like the legendary figure that we know so well from our books and monuments. We can't guarantee that while wearing it, he'll be inventing the glass armonica like the real Benjamin Franklin, but he will look cooler than the other kids at the next American history pageant that your child is in, and we think that's just as important as the invention of the glass armonica. It's got the felt coat with attached vest and cuffs, all in drab tones that just say the 1700s. No costume from that era would be complete without a cravat, and this has one! The knicker pants go to the knees and fit easily with elastic.Ben Franklin Costume for BoysOkay, so he's going to learn all about history while wearing this classic costume, but whatever you do don't let him go out in the thunderstorm with that kite. We already have electricity. It's all good. He can just sit back and learn the glass armonica like all the other kids are doing these days (we assume).

You know the answer, so there is no need to belabor that any further. However, knowing the right answer isn’t enough. You have to be able to articulate that answer with confidence 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 Women’s Greek Goddess costume. You’ll be right at home with Aphrodite and Athena 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.
