”Honest Abe” has to rank as one of the all-time great nicknames in American politics, but when you think about it, there’s a lot of pressure that goes along with that name. When you’re dressed as Honest Abe, people are going to hold you to it: no fibs, no exaggerations, certainly no outright lies. When people see a chin-strap beard and a stovepipe hat coming up the street, they think, “Well, here’s somebody who’s gonna tell it to me straight.” It’s your duty as an Abe Lincoln costume owner to live up to that standard.Of course, if you’re the type who’s thinking of dressing up as our 16th president, we bet you’re not the type to go around spreading misinformation anyway. Honesty is the best policy, after all, and any true Abe admirer knows that by heart. Start your young one off on an honest path with this synthetic, brown beard with a smattering of gray (running a country during the Civil War is a stressful job, after all). The beard secures with an elastic band and adhesive tabs for extra support. It’s an instantly recognizable look that should leave everyone at the costume party honestly impressed.

The Ancient Greeks certainly had style nailed down. Nobility! Finery! Passionate and powerful gods! Nights of wild boasting and debauchery! Whether you have ambitions of high society and the delightful antics that might accompany them or grand designs for a place among the ancient gods, there is certainly one thing that holds true: you must look the part. Our modern day has well remembered this and stolen what we can of the ancient times. You’ve heard of the epic toga parties, no doubt? Well, they might brush against some of the style, but they’re still missing the class!But, take that ancient toga and add in a bit of refinement, some properly placed golden sashes, and a pose that is ready to command whole legions and you quickly are finding yourself in the territory of the divine, whether you are a mortal, yet powerful queen of many or have ascended into the highest peaks of Mount Olympus to claim one of the golden thrones as a goddess. The trouble is figuring which you’d prefer. It seems like a silly question: queen or goddess? Who would possibly choose to give up godhood!? But, those ancient Greek gods are a tough lot! Constantly fighting over even minor things and getting themselves into a ton of trouble. Maybe it’d be easier to simply have to deal with mortal affairs!The choice can be yours with this Spartan Queen costume. Don’t let the name fool you, because this backless white halter-style dress could be divine just on its own! But, add a ribbon band below the bust with golden detailing, another at your waist, and then a swath of crisscrossing gleaming white fabric over a floor-length skirt and you have a gown that breaks the confines of time itself. Choose the right accessories, including a goddess wig, golden armbands, or a gold leaf circlet and you could tell Zeus it is time to step down and let reign the first Goddess Queen!

Southern charmWhile there was a lot wrong with the antebellum South, one thing they got right was the ladies’ beautiful fashions. These women took “go big or go home” to an all new level, with hoop skirts so wide that they sometimes couldn’t even walk through the door! Sometimes, five whole yards of fabric were needed for the voluminous skirts, and it could take days of work to create a complete outfit.Then, when a stylish belle finally received her dress, it was quite another process to actually put it on.

Drinks at the SphinxA night out in ancient Egpyt was really something. Cleopatra and her girls would apply their perfect cat eyes, put on their best wigs, and dust their bodies in gold before calling a Lift to pick them up. No, we didn't spell that wrong. We mean they called a Lift, they each got on they own liter and let their muscley servants carry them around. And the night clubs were awesome.

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.

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!

Imagine you are hard at work running your busy Renaissance-era tavern, pouring ale and slinging stew for weary travelers and local regulars. Do you picture yourself wearing an elegant gown, with pretty slippers and streamers in your hair? Or, would you rather be decked out in this Tavern Maiden Costume, and show everyone how to really have a good time?If you're like us, most of our knowledge of Renaissance times comes from faires and movies based on Shakespeare plays.

Taverns seem to be where all the good stuff happened back then. It's where you went for food, drink, warmth, news, and to look for work. And in many taverns, there was a tough talking gal running the show. She kept things from getting too rowdy, and also made sure everyone had a drink in their hand and a room for the night. Well, if they had coin to spare, that is.This Renaissance-inspired costume is a fun way to step into the part of a tavern keeper, or many other roles from "ye olde times." The earthy and warm colored dress and corset would look right at home in an old village full of hardworking people who know how to let their hair down. Just slip on a pair of sturdy, sassy boots, and you'll be all ready to handle tonight's crowd at your imaginary tavern from earlier, or to let your imagination run wild at the Renaissance Festival!
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.

A mask that looks like iron death does though!Introducing this fully licensed General Maximus Helmet from the Ridley Scott film, Gladiator!

You can pair it with any of our Gladiator costumes to get the best of your opponent inside the Colosseum.
It's Time to Take a Shot!Ten years ago, if you said you wanted to dress up as a founding father for Halloween, ten-years-ago-you would probably be incredibly skeptical. But that was pre-Hamilton.

The one thing all of these situations have in common is that this Men's Templar Knight Costume with give you the heroic look you need to be victorious!Back in Medieval times, if you were trekking across the realm with nefarious intent, you'd probably want to stay away from any Templar Knights you came across.

Add a pair of rugged looking boots and a fierce longsword to tote around as you carry out whatever quest you're charged with!
A Little Home on the Open PlainsLife for early settlers could be challenging. Sometimes, they lived in sod houses that literally started out as holes in the ground! They had dirt for floors and dirt for ceilings, and there was no indoor plumbing. They had to grow and hunt almost all of their own food, and they could get snowed in during blizzards for weeks at a time. (Talk about going stir crazy!) Farming was even more difficult 150 years ago than it is today, since they didn't have tractors or other modern machinery. And it could take hours to get to the nearest town, since they didn't have cars and had to rely on cranky mules or horses.But there was still some fun despite all the hard work. Settler kids got to play exciting games like "Who Has the Button?", where one kid would guess which other kid in the group had a button, and "Cat's Cradle," where they used string to make shapes. Okay, maybe those aren't the most exciting games... But they also got to wear really cute pioneer dresses!Product DetailsWhether she's out on the prairie, on the banks of Plum Creek, in the Big Woods or on the shores of Silver Lake, your little settler will feel right at home in this Girl's Red Frontier Settler Costume.

The costume comes with a brown checkered bonnet that has a stiffened brim, elastic at the back and same-fabric chin ties.A Pretty PioneerWith this Girl's Red Frontier Settler Costume, your little pioneer will be ready to rule her one-room school house and always take first place at every game involving a piece of string!

All's Well That Ends WellWhen you were a kid, the adventures of Laura Ingalls Wilder seemed so real. When the Wilder family was sugaring off, you could almost taste the maple syrup, hot from the stove. And you could feel the excitement when Pa came back from the woods talking about a big bear that he had seen in the brambles... even if it was actually a simple dead log, it sent quivers of delightful fear to your head.Oh, the trundle beds with layers of quilts, the hot cast iron stove, the covered wagons, the fiddle music, and let's not forget the sweet pioneering dog, Jack! All of that once felt like it happened to you. Then you grew up, and it feels sort of distant somehow. It's all the modern trappings that have gotten in the way!

A good pair of footwear will make or break a costume. Would you take Robin Hood seriously if he were wearing sneakers? No. How about Darth Vader in flip-flops? Definitely not. The footwear should match the outfit. Also consider if your child went to costume parties or the Renaissance Festival. They'll need decent foot wear for traversing the gravel paths, muddy corners, and grassy hills. A decent pair of shoes that look the part are necessary.So when the feet of your child are at stake, look no further than our Child Renaissance Boots. Made of faux suede, they reach about mid-calf and have decorative adjustable straps. Your child's costume will look much more authentic if he/she is wearing something like these Child Renaissance Boots. And they'll probably even feel like a rouge-ish hero too!
Reach for the StarsIt's a simple phrase, really. We say it to kids all of the time. Usually, it means to go out and chase after your dreams, but there's a certain fella from history who took it sort of literal! Galileo Galilei spent most of his time studying the heavens, trying to make sense of all of the celestial bodies floating around up there. He even tried to argue that the Earth revolved around the Sun! Crazy, right? Well, it turned out he was right... even though some of the astronomers and political figures were not a huge fan of his findings.The point is Galileo wasn't shy about reaching for the stars and he made some of the greatest discoveries of all time! If your child decides to reach for the stars, who knows what sort of amazing things they'll discover. That's exactly why we think Galileo is a great role model and it's why we decided to make this Kid's Galileo Galilei Costume!Design & DetailsOur costume designers wanted to capture the look of famous astronomer and mathematician, Galileo!

Let them eat cake the most consequential misquote of history. Marie Antionette never made this arrogant suggestion, it was her aunt that said it. Also, it was very good advice. The original suggestion: when all the cheap bread was sold out the bakeries should sell the starving peasant cake for the same price as the bread. Not a bad idea, if you ask us.That being said, Marie Antionette did have a pretty intense love for the finer things in life. Let's just say, she had a hard time sticking to the budget. But consider this, she was escorted to France with fifty-seven carriages, one hundred seventeen footmen, and three hundred horses at the impressionable age of fourteen, the example of extravagance was set immediately. So, she thought nothing of using yards of silks per gown and building up her large extravagant wigs to suit each occasion. Her famous ship wig? It was built to celebrate a French naval victory. In a way, Marie's wigs were kind of like Tweets. The newspapers weren't going to report what she said but they would report on what she wore!Marie may not have been a favorite of French peasants but she certainly changed fashion forever. Look at us! We're still dressing like her! You won't have to worry about losing your head when you don this gorgeous ensemble. This gown is lush with a blue silky material and pale mint green ruffles at the sleeves and down the front. Top it off with a gorgeous iconic white wig and you'll be ready for your debut at Versailles. When you look this good you can have your cake and eat it too!
Some girls just don’t like to play nice or stay quiet. Some girls hunger for adventure, excitement and a good scuffle in the arena. They scoff at the idea of dressing up like a princess.

They need something a little like this girls gladiator costume.With a look inspired by the garb of ancient Roman soldiers, this child gladiator outfit includes a dress that features a faux leather exterior that mimics the look of real gladiator armor. The red cape will make her feel like the crowd favorite, as it adds a dash of flair that makes her stand out from all the other challengers.

Make sure to add our toy sword and shield set to your order to make sure that she’s fully prepared for her next bout in the ring.

Hail the KingThe crypt opens. A crumbling stone stairway yawns from the deep. Slowly, the nervous archaologist descends into the gloom. Strange rustles echo from every side, but he is undeterred in his pursuit of history. The light from a lone flashlight sputters over the sandy walls, briefly illuminating cartouches, crocodiles, and blank-faced Osiris images. All of a sudden, the archaeologist senses that he is not alone. There is another presence in the tunnel. He raises the flashlight in one trembling hand and gasps. At the end of the passage stands a golden figure with a staff in hand. History may have forgotten him til now, but he has not forgotten his birthright. The King has returned to rule over the Nile once more! Product Details Forget ancient curses - major blessings are coming your way when you wear your exclusive King Tut Costume for Men!

A golden belt with an attached drape is emblazoned with a blue bird and black hieroglyphics. We're not exactly sure what they mean, but they probably say something like "This man is incredibly attractive." You're welcome. B.C. BabeRise from your sarcophagus and step into your destined role - not as an undead mummy but as a royal Sun Pharaoh. Your subjects cheer your return to the dance floor!
Mistakes were MadeThe Medieval era was a time of strong fashion choices. Noble people had wild outfits! Men often wore shoes that were up to two feet long. The toes were so long that they had to be stuffed with wool and whalebone to be kept in place. Men even wore them to battle and had to cut off the tips of the toes in order to run away from the enemy. Of course, women didn't escape inconvenient fashion trends. Rich gals wore tall cone-shaped hats, making going through doorways quite tricky. Ladies who were worried about ruining their nice shoes in the mucky streets would protect them by wearing wooden stilts that slipped over their shoes. This was so difficult that they had to hire attendants to help them get from place to place. Medieval fashion trends didn't get it all right. What era did? At least now we can pick and choose what Medieval fashion trends we'd like to keep. We think this gorgeous green gown is a great place to start!Design & DetailsThis Made By Us emerald gown was created by our history-loving creative team.

The Ancient Egyptians knew that royalty was a grand mandate of divinity. Their pharaohs were reincarnated forms of the great sun god, Ra. Because, what is better than being King than being a God-King!? Challenged to bring their people to untold prosperity while competing with somewhere between 6 and 40,419 gods of death, those rulers had no end to their stress! And, worse, those who were disturbed or ruled unwisely might rise as mummies, forever tormented to wander the sands until the rightful pharaoh might come and return them to their slumber. So, maybe being king isn’t always the easiest of paths in life!But, still, the best thing about the pharaohs were that we had no specific limitations on who might be named! Those with the divine right would be raised, no matter who they were. Man, woman, or even kiddos were all eligible if they possessed the wisdom to rule… at least for a while. The great King Tutankhamen, the boy king, became one of the most famously known names in even our modern era.And, reincarnation is still a thing, even these many years later.
