Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears. You see, I have a grill full of burgers, brats, and hot dogs. And the meal just wouldn't be right without some corn on the cob! So, go on, send me those ears of corn!Yeah, we're playing. But, all kidding aside, this Roman Senator costume is the real deal. It features all the historical details that a typical dude would wear in ancient Rome (or at least our best approximation of what they would wear). Yeah, it was toga time for them, and this tunic and cape combo gives you that classic toga style, so much so that you'd be ready to make a big ol’ speech at the Roman Forum! Make your pretend trip to ancient Rome, and you can be political as a senator, or just enjoy partying as an upstanding citizen of the empire. Heck, you could even be the Emperor if you were so inclined! Whatever you do, as long as you focus on getting your friends to give you their ears, well, you’ll be all set.We made and designed this costume right here in our HalloweenCostumes.com studio. We also have this costume available in sizes for kids, and plenty of women’s costumes to coordinate it with too! What can we say, we’re basically your one stop shop for ancient Rome. Now go on, get your costume on, and get that grill fired up!
THE RULER OF THE THRONEEveryone is always trying to convince everyone else that they have the true right to the throne. They might yammer on about who their father was or how many titles they hold. (Bonus points for extra adjectives.) Perhaps they are just denouncing the current monarchy and proclaiming (rather dangerously in the public of a tavern) that they would be far better on the throne than those currently crowned upon it! But, you know where the real power in the kingdom happens to lay. You watch as everyone comes to you—low-born, noble, knight, and knave alike! It is neither gold nor steel nor red or blue blood that makes the wheel turn in this world. It's the ale, the wine, and especially the secrets that spill in your tavern! With the right words, you could make anything happen! And with a simple, "No, you've had enough," you can set those mighty men to tears! DESIGN & DETAILSShow the world what a true queen looks like when you dress up in this Medieval Pub Wench costume. You won't feel low-born for a second while you're wearing this high-quality look put together by our own in-house team of designers. It includes a square neck top with ruffled trim and elbow-length loose-fit sleeves as well as the look of a green corset. The brown skirt has an apron sewed to the front and includes a tie if you'd like to show some leg. You also have your own version of a crown: a cream, triangle-cut bandana! THAT OTHER THRONEJust remember: if anyone questions your power in your own tavern-house, you have the ability to whisper the right words to lead them to the throne. And, failing that, you can give them a sour drink and keep them on the other one all night!
Off to the Ball The Season is so packed with festivities! Today alone, you have a promenade in Hyde Park, a tea with your five best friends, and the Duke's ball this evening. With so many engagements, how on earth will you have time to do your hair? You could either wear an unflattering cap over your curlers during the day, or you could just slip on a realistic (and gorgeous) wig. We know which option we'd pick! Product DetailsLeave a stunning impression on all the eligible gentlemen when you wear this Debutante Wig for Women! Coppery-red synthetic hair is carefully styled into many tight ringlets over the forehead and ears, as well as one long, thick ringlet that can be draped over one shoulder. The hairdo conceals a comfortable mesh wig cap with a fitted edge. Impress the Ton This look is all the rage in London right now amongst the debutantes. It'll probably inspire your next suitor to propose faster than you can say, "how do you do?"
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. Yes, his line of work involves fighting against hordes of enemies in the ring and a polo shirt with a laminated name tag just doesn't strike fear into blood-crazed foes. A mask that looks like iron death does though!Introducing this fully licensed General Maximus Helmet from the Ridley Scott film, Gladiator! The molded latex mask full recreates the one worn by Russell Crowe, complete with intimidating spikes on the top and pronounced facial features. It might not turn you into a master of arms, or a combat specialist, but it does make you look tough enough to take on a lion with your bare hands. You can pair it with any of our Gladiator costumes to get the best of your opponent inside the Colosseum.
AN EXTRA-DIMENSIONAL GENTLEMANWe need Steampunk in our lives. Like, literally our real-life lives. Cleaner energy. Inspired technology. A world of pomp and creativity, of Victorian style and futuristic ambitions. We just need it! Of course, obtaining such a world is a pretty daunting problem. Do we hop back in time and change things so that we get on the right track early and just cross our fingers that we don't drive even faster into the fallen utopia? That seems like we're begging for a time travel disaster!So, we figure that alternate dimensions are the way to go. Portals into the same time period but pulling a few quantum mechanical gizmos can't hurt nearly as bad as swapping a few moments in our past. Worst case scenario with that, we've got a dorky new friend who is a touch confused by our near-criminal lack of cogs and miffed by the lack of lever-activated machines to pour tea without having to walk over to the steamer!DESIGN & DETAILSBe our guide into this new era by stepping up into the role of a lifetime with this Steampunk Dandy costume. Exclusively crafted by our in-house team of artists, designers, and developers, we were sure to infuse it with plenty of signature Steampunk style and we know you're going to love it as much as we do. It includes a double-breasted vest with puffy jersey sleeves and a jabot at the neck. Of course, the look wouldn't be complete with a pair suede-like wrist guards, folded short pants, a stylized top hat, and a belt with a holster! SWORD CANE OR GRAPPLE GUN?Once you've settled into your dandy new Steampunk look, the only question will be what accessory is perfect. Cogs and gears, of course. But, will you go for the quirky tech for convenience or the stylish weapon for debonair flair?
Wildflowers and Wagon WheelsThe pioneers of the wild west were an adventurous bunch. People left their tight-knit communities for all sorts of reasons. Some loaded their wagons for the long haul, taking on the Sierra Nevada mountains to take up residence in California. Others craved the isolation of the plains, building houses out of sod and working the wild land. Whether they were crossing the plains or settling in the midwest, the men and women of the wagon trains all reported back on the beauty of the prairie. If you crave the sensation of taking in an endless blue sky above an ocean of grass with meadowlarks among the wildflowers then slipping into this Women's prairie dress costume will make you feel like you're one of the brave 19th-century pioneers!Design & DetailsThis calico dress would look just right on a prairie homestead. The one-piece dress zips up the back and has a long skirt sporting a wide border and a blouse top with the billowing sleeves that were so popular in the 1800s. The top is detailed with decorative buttons on the front and velvet trim along the collar and cuffs. Accented with a cameo brooch, this dress is a lovely pick for plays, reenactments, and costume parties. Pieces of the PastWhile we're glad that we no longer have to cook our food over an open fire or scrub our clothes by hand, it's a lot of fun to visit the 19th Century every once in a while. And when you add little details to this costume like a wide brim bonnet, you take it to the next level. That bonnet keeps the sun off your face as you tend to barefoot children and gather herbs to heal people along the trail becoming an important part of building your character. It's amazing how costumes like this can make the past come alive!
Nah, QueenLet's set the record straight. Goddesses are not basic queens. Yes, queens can be righteous, brutal, powerful. But they simply aren't Goddesses. Queens might rule over armies and economies but only a goddess can control the weather and bring endless winter to the earth when someone really peeves her off. Goddess stories of terror, creation, and petty revenge are so good that we can't even find any to tell in this description without getting into trouble with the boss. So if "Yaas, Queen" isn't enough for you. If quivering in fear seems more like your style then this Women's Olympic Empress costume is the one for you!Details & DesignYou'll confidently rule the roost when you slip into this goddess costume. A slim white sheath is cinched with a golden belt and topped with a gold-edged one-shoulder neckline. The shoulder is accented with a printed medallion and a red swath of cloth drapes around your hip in a straight out of the ancient world way. Golden armbands wrap around the arms to top off this costume in just the right way!You've Got the PowerIt might take a little time to get used to all this power you've gained. After all, mortals used to go through perilous hurdles and odysseys to gain an Olympic status. Now, all you need to do is order this costume and the power will be yours! Now you might not be able to send a storm to follow that guy who cut you off in traffic, but finish off your look with a laurel leaf crown and a pair of gladiator sandals and you'll feel like you have all the mortals at your beck and call. Just remember, you don't just have the power of a throne, you've got the power of the heavens!
Wealth Redistribution, but Make It CoolLook, it's really the fault of Prince John and his Sheriff of Nottingham. Besides raising taxes far too high, they also use the worst possible means of money transfer. Anyone who sees those huge coaches filled with gold rolling through Sherwood Forest is bound to feel like swiping some. And not only do you steal it, but you give it back to the people who had it in the first place. No one will feel like turning Mr. Popular Robber in to the authorities after such generous derring-do. Product DetailsReach legend status in this exclusive Plus Size Deluxe Robin Hood Costume for Men! Perfect for a rough-and-tumble lifestyle, the long-sleeved top is designed to look like a brown vest worn over a cream-colored shirt. The vest portion is decorated with a lace-up neckline and metal rivets, while the sleeves look amazing when tucked into the faux leather wristbands. Buckle the faux leather belt around your waist and tie the green hooded cape around your neck to finish your outfit. Merry Mischief Thwart the greedy king and his tight-fisted henchmen together with your gang of outlaws! Feel free to get a few friends to dress like you and join your team, or be a lone hero fighting for the people (and looking amazing while doing it). May we suggest, however, that if you show off your archery skills, you do so outside? The interior of a party probably isn't he best place to demonstrate your ability to split an arrow with another arrow.
To Forge or Not to ForgeEver tried forging your own set of armor from scratch? It's not easy! You need to harvest some iron ore, melt it, mold it, and whack it with a hammer. Then you need to heat it and whack it with a hammer some more! At least, that's what we understand from all of the medieval fantasy movies that we've watched...We wanted to create an easier way for anyone to get some solid-looking armor for their knight costume, and our designers came up with this Knight Costume Helmet for adults. The realistic design looks great with any knight outfit, getting you ready for Halloween or the Ren fest in just a few minutes!Design & DetailsThis Made By Us design is inspired by the knight helms seen in fantasy tales. It's made out of lightweight plastic and has been molded into a classic helmet shape. It has an attached face plate, which swivels up and down. The exterior has a tarnished metal paint job, complete with brass trim to give it an authentic look. It might not protect you in battle like real armor, but it will definitely make you look the part when you head to the Renaissance fair!
Toga party!!! It's something they've shouted throughout history, from Ancient Rome (where every day was a toga party) to modern frat houses in the good old U.S. of A. Whatever time period you're into... and whether you're plotting the downfall of Julius Caesar, or just celebrating the end of the semester in classic college style... our Plus Size Men's Toga is a timeless way to dress for the occasion!The applications are pretty much limitless with this costume, and so are the personas that you can take on. Greek philosopher? Plato, Aristotle, Socrates--they all totally wore togas. Roman citizen? Togas are what they dressed up in to visit the coliseum... and pretty much everywhere else. College party animal? Yep, you guessed it. No self-respecting frat boy in the 50s and 60s partied without one of these fine tunics (trust us, we've watched a lot of movies). And let's not forget the space cults Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock ran into in basically every other episode of the original Star Trek. All of them rocked the toga like it never went out of style (and if you ask us, it didn't). It may be one of the most versatile forms of dress (and costume) that ever existed.So whatever the occasion... Halloween, campus bash, a vote in the Roman senate, space cult meeting... the toga is a great choice, not only for its wearability and style, but also for its historical street cred. Made by us, the plus size men's toga is a costume for all seasons!
An amazing activistMost people have heard of Helen Keller, who famously learned how to communicate with others even though she was deaf and blind from a young age.

Not only that, she was part of the founding of the American Civil Liberties Union! In 1964, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

The First and OnlyMarie Curie had an amazing mind! She spent her life advancing scientific fields in the early 1900s. She discovered two brand new elements during her career as a scientist and contributed to the advancement of physics. In fact, she holds a title that no other person in the world does! She's the only person to have earned two separate Nobel Prizes in different scientific fields. Yes, that's right!

Fierce and FearlessThe Prehistoric era was a tough time - or so we've been told, anyway. The cave people were busy from the crack of dawn till the last light of sunset with hunting saber-tooth tigers, gathering berries, and figuring out how to invent the wheel and the fire (raw saber-tooth tiger meat is pretty gross). They needed courageous girls to help them explore on the backs of their pet pterodactyls and be all kinds of awesome! Product DetailsYou'll look ready for a Pangaea-sized adventure when you wear this exclusive Prehistoric Cave Girl's Costume! The outfit includes a one-shouldered romper made of soft, leopard-print minky fabric with a cord waist tie. It's embellished with jagged brown trim along the neckline that mirrors the skirt's zig-zag hem. The brown faux suede leg warmers have criss-crossed decorative ties and the matching faux suede gauntlets slide easily onto each arm. Top it all off with the hair clip that's attached to a fiber-filled felt bone! Cave CutieBack in ye very olden days, there were no cell phones, TV shows, indoor plumbing fixtures, or chocolate, which would have been sad. On the other hand, there was no homework either, and probably no Brussels sprouts yet. Nobody knew yet that eating your vegetables was better for you than eating sugar. This Halloween, think like a cave girl and collect as much candy as you can! You can eat it next to the fire inside your cave while you paint amazing pictures on the walls for archeologists to find and marvel over. Or did cave kids get into trouble for drawing on the walls of their rooms?

Marauder MakeoverDo you hear the drums calling? Those rhythms aren't just to inspire you and your fellow longboat riders to run your oars at the same pace. That's the call for battle! You can look out over the field and see it decorated with dozens or more of your competition. They've got their braids done up to the nines. Beads are woven into the men's beards and bands of fabric and leather torn from the defeated give a colorful flair to the women's hair. This is a fashion raid! Who has claimed the ultimate treasures from the most recent attack on those bellyaching nobles? And, more importantly, who is wearing it best!? Does their mighty axe clash more with their armor than it does against their shield!?

Design & Details Make sure that you are always standing at the forefront of Viking fashion when you come equipped with this Black Viking Shield.

May Day MagicLife in the Medieval Era was never easy. People worked hard, ate what and when they could, and spent winters huddled around smokey fires. So when it was time to let loose, they did it with great joy. They piped away on their flutes and danced with flowers in their hair. May Day is a well-known Medieval festival. It was a springtime festival devoted to Mary. People spent the day dancing around a maypole and taking in the fresh spring warmth. In June, people celebrated Midsummer Eve with large fires and troupes of mummers. People might have worked hard in the Medieval Era but that doesn't mean they didn't know how to have fun. Dancing in the streets, playing music, and gathering flowers were all a part of the joyful celebrations. Now your little one can get a taste of the best parts of the Medieval era and Rennaisance Era when she slips into this gorgeous villager dress!Design & DetailsExclusively Made by Us, Girl's Renassaissance Villager Costume has just the right amount of shine and flair. It lets your child feel special while looking natural and right at home while she's gathering flowers and dancing around the Maypole. The blue dress has a lace-up bodice and adjustable shoulder straps. The blue fabric falls into a loose overskirt, covering the white slip. The off-shoulder blouse sleeves will make this a great costume for all sorts of events from Ren Fairs, plays, and costume parties. It Takes a VillagerWhile some kids always want to play princess, there's a lot more freedom to playing villager. After all, running around barefoot in a field is frowned upon for royalty. So let your child embrace her villager status. Top off the costume with braids and a wreath of flowers and ribbons and she'll love taking on this new role!
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).
Warrior PoseAre you ready to get in touch with your inner shieldmaiden? Us modern folks might have to do a little toughening up before we step into her fur-lined boots. Growing up as a Viking she probably has swum in the icy water of the fjords from the time she was a little girl. We've seen her take blows in battle. We've seen her plot to come back to the top after her position is threatened by both men and women in her life. She doesn't give up. As one of the toughest Vikings around, she always ends up on top!Details & DesignOur designers were pumped to put together this licensed Lagertha costume from the hit series, Vikings. You'll feel ready for anything in this layered costume. An embroidered base shirt is layered under a faux chainmail and leather textured tunic. Detailed make the leather vest look intricate while the chainmail texture is repeated in the short sleeves and skirt. The texture is repeated in the lace-up silver gauntlets as well. The look is polished off with brown pants and boot tops so you'll be ready to take on whatever comes your way. Want to add your own finish? Copy her braided hairstyles and heavily lined eyes while arming yourself with our licensed Viking props. Always PreparedTo become shield wall ready, we suggest you start your training now. Turn your shower nob to cold for a shocking wake up in the morning. Eat gruel and dried fish for every meal. Instead of hitting the gym try running through the forest pretending while listening to dramatic action music and throwing an ax at a target in your backyard. And when your friend is complaining about that jerk at work shout, "shield wall!" and confront the problem. Or you could just get in touch with your inner Viking with this rugged Lageartha costume. Just make sure you keep your shield on hand. Lagertha is always ready for a fight!
Is your child a historian in training? How many civil war generals can he name? Has he begged you to go to the famous civil war sites like Gettysburg and Antietam? Have you ever considered enrolling him in Civil War reenactment? There is a lot of pride in remembering the brutal Civil War of 1861-1865. The people who fought so hard to keep our country together and emancipate the enslaved population should always be remembered. Brainy kids tend to be interested in the Civil War. Anything can start a fascination with this complicated part in history. Maybe your child saw or read a version of The Red Badge of Courage. Maybe it started with a love of Abraham Lincoln and expanded from there, it happens to a lot of people. One day you're trying on a top hat and beard, learning the Gettysburg address. The next day you want to know where Gettysburg is, what happened there, and why. Once your kid has an interest, how do you support him? This costume would work great to dress up for speech as Officer James Thomas kirk if your child has a school project. The double breasted button jacket and striped pant would help your child feel in character at a civil war reenactment, either as a drummer boy or a soldier. Just choose the hat that goes with the rank your child wants to assume. Maybe your kid has visions of a dignified Halloween costume or a special outfit for the 4th of July parade planned. Whatever this uniform is for, your history enthusiast is sure to make our boys in blue proud.

Luckily, this men’s Tavern Patron costume is specially designed for bards who want to increase their charisma.Yes, our costume designers are experts in charisma!

Fourscore and seven years ago…Well, it’s been a little longer than that since Abraham Lincoln was president, but he’s still one of the most famous commanders-in-chief in our country’s history. Name a more famous president. Maybe George Washington, but that’s about it, and that’s not really fair, since he was the first president, and all. He got a lot of publicity for that. But Abraham Lincoln is definitely one of the best-known guys, and not just because he’s got his face carved onto the side of a giant mountain!But Abraham Lincoln didn’t start out with an illustrious career. Did you know he actually argued a case in front of the Supreme Court and lost? He also lost five separate elections during his attempts to get involved in politics. So, we guess the best thing to learn from Lincoln is to never stop trying to fulfill your dreams, no matter how long it takes!Product detailsIf you’re itching to dress up like one of America’s most beloved presidents, but you don’t want to wear wooden teeth to pull off a truly authentic George Washington, then we recommend this President Abe Lincoln Costume. The exclusive costume comes with a 100 percent polyester wool-like coat with an attached vest, which features a stylish button-down center. There’s also a satin bowtie with an elastic band to secure around your collar.Of course, an Abe Lincoln costume would be nothing without his iconic top hat, and we’ve got you covered there with a dazzlingly tall black top hat featuring a shiny satin ribbon. (The shirt and pants, though, aren’t included, so make sure you don’t forget to add some before stepping out on the town!)Hail to the chief!Whether you’re heading to a historical reenactment or just a Halloween party, this costume is the perfect presidential choice!

Ahh, a safari! Doesn’t that sound quite wonderful and relaxing, just hunting big game in the African veldt? It’s just you and nature. There’s nothing standing between you and that sun… that’s blistering hot in the afternoon sky. 12,000 lb. elephant… which are known for their giant tusks and turbulent tempers when encroaching upon the herd. There’s nothing between you and that majestic lion… who hasn’t eaten dinner in a few days and has razor sharp claws with a run speed of nearly 50 miles per hour.On second thought, a safari sounds awfully dangerous!

When you’re all dressed up in this ensemble you’ll be ready to turn your normal trip to the grocery store into a full blown expedition!
Costumes from HistoryWe're all about having a good time on Halloween, and for most folks that's a big costume party where everyone gets together to have a memorable night. While most of our costume products are made with fun in mind, that's not our only pursuit. We aim to cover every costume experience with the widest selection of costumes on the web, and that includes historical costumes. Be it for re-enactments, plays, or just for raising awareness about the important events of history, a historical figure costume can help you do a lot of good by bringing history to life. When it comes to American history and the Civil Rights movement, there are few figures more important than Rosa Parks. We won't try and retell the entire story here (we couldn’t do it justice!) but if you don't know the details of how her refusal to give up her bus seat sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott, it's worth your time to read and understand how and why that happened. If you’re looking to tell her story in a brand new way, be it for school or a play, we know this Rosa Parks costume will do just that.Design & DetailsThis detailed Rosa Parks Costume is Made By Us, which means it was designed by our own team in-house. The costume is inspired by the outfit she was wearing in one of her most memorable images, an undated photo of her riding the Montgomery Area Transit System bus. The costume is styled to look like a brown overcoat over a plaid dress, but it's actually just a one-piece combo to make for an easy costume experience. It also comes with a brown pillbox hat to complete the look.Sharing Important StoriesHelp share the story of Civil Rights icon, Rosa Parks, when you get this costume recreation. And if you need costumes for more famous figures from history, be sure to check out our entire selection of costumes to re-tell other important stories from the past.
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.
The prehistoric bone club was only wielded by the mightiest of Neanderthals; the ones who were strong enough to hunt a menacing dinosaur with a sturdy bone structure. If you're planning on being king of the cave and have your leopard tunic already, adding the mighty bone club to your ensemble is a must.During the dawn of man only the strong survived, and the famed dinosaur club was sure to assert your dominance. Plus, the bone is picked clean. An appetite like that can only come from someone who's worked for it! But know, that great power comes with great responsibility.So, what exactly is this bone from? It kind of looks like a shin bone from a poorly drawn Apatosaurus. Or maybe a femur from an oddly-shaped sabre tooth tiger? Not sure. Wherever you want to pretend you found it, works for us.
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!
No shrinking violetWhile some Disney heroines come from royal backgrounds, sing to birds, and live for a good ball, one of our favorite ladies from the world of Disney checks absolutely zero of those boxes. Her origin story stems from the underworld. She sold her soul to Hades to bring back her deceased boyfriend who then left her for another. That's a lot of flaws for a Disney heroine! But that's the thing, Megara makes mistakes. That's what makes her so likable. She looks at her world with an edge. And when a hero shows up looking to save her she lets him know that she's able to tie her own sandals, despite the hero's baby blues. And yeah, Megara gets elected to betray Hercules but in the end, she sacrifices herself to save him. That kind of courage is not the trait of a shrinking violet, despite the hue of her gorgeous dress. Product DetailsThis gown will make you feel like you're part of an epic adventure. The top is finely pleated with sheer, sparkly fabric. The neckline nods to Megara's Greek background with swirling medallions on each side. It has both an empire cut and a satin-textured sash in the middle, accenting your waist. The skirt is layered with sheer pleated sparkly fabric and a solid purple base. Top the whole look off with our Megara wig and you'll be ready to set off on your own epic adventure. You Tie Your Own SandalsWant to get in touch with your Disney heroine side with a sassy twist? Megara is a great choice to let your saucier side run free. So tighten your sandals and sharpen up your own comeback skills that you can throw out even when you're struggling to escape a monster's paw. Whether you're heading for Hades or a costume party, this costume will be a hit with Hercules fans, everywhere!

What the "L"When you're a chess piece, the stakes are high. There aren't that many pieces out there on the board and all the pieces have to play their part just right. Pawns hop forward one step unless it's their first move of the game. The bishops zoom diagonally along however many squares they need to. The queen of each side is the boss of the chessboard, moving however she wants as long as she doesn't jump any squares. And the knights? Well, the knights know how to move. They move in an L shape to protect their side from any pieces that might cause trouble in their checkered kingdom. Product Details Are you ready to take on your knighthood? This headpiece allows you to break out of your "L" mold. The foam helmet has a soft top and a stiff visor textured to look like armor a jouster would wear. The faceguard fastens down the front with a strip of hook and loop fastener. A size adjuster on the interior allows this helmet to be used with different sizes and ages. Whether you're taking a seat at the round table or protecting the King on a chessboard, this helmet will allow you to take on the role of knight with confidence!

So fire up the gyrocopter and grab a pair before technology leaves you behind!
Life as a wandering warlord is tough. You have to be away from home a lot as you pillage and plunder across the continent. The group of ruthless mercenaries you lead can be a handful. The hours are long and the pay is never consistent. Enemies are always trying to assassinate you, while you also have to keep an eye on any ambitious employees who might want to give themselves a promotion at your expense. Sometimes, you wonder if it’s all worth it.But then you remember—the cape.The cape makes all the worry and discomfort and fighting and danger worth it. There aren’t a lot of jobs that let you wear a super cool cape, and being a warlord is one of them. Every time you put it on, you feel rugged, commanding and invincible. The cape has a wide faux fur color with a plastic chain across the chest, anchored by plastic skull medallions for a little pop. Anyone who sees this cape will know you’re nobody to mess with—and you’ll feel pretty awesome swirling it dramatically. That’s worth a little work-related stress.
To the modern eye, the ancient Greek pantheon might look a little silly decked out in those archaic robes. But when your to-do list includes managing the harvest, selectively meddling in the affairs of mortals, and getting back at Hades for slipping a whoopee cushion onto the Throne of Zeus, you need an outfit that offers plenty of comfort and a full range of motion. And nothing compares to this tried-and-true traditional look for inspiring devotion and culling favor!Just make sure your costume meets divine standards for craftsmanship and quality, like this Plus Size Olympic Goddess Costume. Because there's a pretty strict dress code on Mt. Olympus these days, thanks to the steady stream of mortals who think they can cut holes in a pillowcase, sneak up to the summit, and pretend they'd been around since the age of the Titans. You're not fooling anybody, guys! Not unless you have a really great outfit!And if you manage to join the ranks of the other great-looking humans who have successfully infiltrated the gods' inner circle, try not to go crazy with all of that power, okay? Because getting zapped by lightning or having frogs rain from the sky is not what we had in mind when we showed you this excellent costume. We just thought you might want to take this classic look to an upcoming party, or immerse yourself in some classical literature by slipping into some more appropriate attire. We really don't want to have to beg for mercy. Not again!
Fashion on the MountGods and goddesses on Mount Olympus are always well dressed. Fine linens, laurel leaves dipped in gold, and so many wrap arm bands. It makes sense that deities would want to look fabulous. They're always making questionable choices so they have to look good to really get away with it. Look at Zeus. He tricked his first wife into turning into a fly and ate her. Yeah. Messed up, right? If you're going to fess up to something like that, you've gotta be one of Olympus's best dressed. Really, if we step back and look at the mythology of Olympus, the stories of the gods and goddesses worked like one of the first reality shows. Get ready to top off an outfit with golden goddess accessories that'll make you ready to face whatever drama deities start throwing your way!Product DetailsThese golden accessories will make you feel elegant and ready to take on some mystical powers. Faux leather arm bands and a golden bracelet fit comfortably around your arms. Take on a crown with a double-strapped headband that adjusts at the back for the right fit. Pair this set with one of our Greek or Roman goddess costumes or the toga or maxi dress of your choice and you'll be ready to step into the halls of Mount Olympus!
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.
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. These probably aren't the most historically accurate sources, but they sure paint a fun scene, and one of the staples of this scene is the humble tavern. 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!
What it TakesIt takes a tough kid to be a knight, and it takes an even tougher one to slay a dragon! Your little one is the stoutest knight in the land, and a stout knight needs a solid suit of armor. Equip them with this Valiant Knight Costume before they head out on their next epic quest, and they'll be ready for any foe with whom they cross paths!At first glance, knights may just seem like any old soldier from medieval times, riding into battle in a suit of shiny armor and getting into sword duels with villains. But there's actually a lot more to being a valiant knight who can save the day against the bleakest of odds, which your kid may be preparing for as we speak. Perhaps you've noticed your wee-knight training for a life of excitement and honor (possibly with the family dog acting as their squire) in the backyard. They might be using a stick in place of a trusty longsword, but they can still fight against ferocious beasts and protect defenseless townsfolk from certain doom!Product DetailsA knight of such gallantry needs armor worthy of their deeds, and this costume is the perfect attire for the task. The chain mail hood is made of metallic knit mesh, resembling real steel mail, while the foam gauntlets have the look of heavy metal armor, without being heavy or clunky. Add a fierce looking toy sword and shield to go with your knight's chivalrous new garb, and songs will be sung for ages about their daring exploits!
A True Hero Let others have their superhero costumes this Halloween, you'd prefer to pay your respect to a real historical heavyweight, Harriet Tubman! Tubman wasn't just a fierce abolitionist and suffragette, but she risked her life and safety to help hundreds of others escape to freedom (not to mention, she's the soon-to-be face of the $20 bill!). So, while your pals' costumes may come with capes, light up and make noise, or give them instant, undeniable 6-packs, your costume will imbue you with the actual might of a real-life superhero! Whether you choose to wear our Harriet Tubman Adult Costume for a theater performance, historical reenactment, or simply to capture your love of history this Halloween, we're certain you'll feel fantastic about your choice! Harriet Tubman was one amazing lady, but then again, so are you—take your respect to new levels by emulating your real-life role model. And leave the fancy flying and flashy antics to those others wannabe heroes! Product DetailsThis ensemble is styled in line with the times—simple and sturdy. It's a black, long dress with a basic peplum, front buttons, and long sleeves. The neck scarf adds period-specific flair and lightens the stark appearance, and the head kerchief completes the look. Grab a lantern accessory to feel like a true beacon, or bring along your historical knowledge to share with other party guests. And don't be fooled—the look may be understated, but the effect of seeing Harriet Tubman walk into a party is totally unforgettable!Conduct Yourself WellWearing this costume comes with a bit of responsibility—you should be on your best behavior! Harriet Tubman was the foremost conductor of the Underground Railroad, after all. You owe it to her to keep up a high standard all night in this costume!
High Class Hijinks Have you ever rolled out of bed and thought to yourself, "I don't want to answer texts and make to-do lists today. I want to watch horse races, go for promenades, and attend balls at fancy pillared houses while wearing my fanciest hat and drinking all the mint juleps I want"? Honestly, same. Most of us, however, are stymied by the fact that we don't have anything in our closets that look like appropriate attire for a horse race or a cotillion. Don't despair, though! Those mint juleps are still calling your name! Product DetailsYou'll be ready to make your debut as a fine Southern lady in this exclusive Plus Size Women's Southern Belle Costume! The floor-length gown zips up the back and is made of dainty, cream-colored muslin that's printed all over with a soft pink floral pattern. Ruffles trim the neckline and cap sleeves, and the bodice is decorated with crimson ribbon to match the wide taffeta sash. Each of the skirt's three tiers is trimmed in velvet ribbon and wide bands of machine lace. A built-in petticoat adds extra volume. Bless Your Heart Southern debutantes were smart. They ran businesses and farms, and organized plenty of social events, but had a ready-made excuse for anything they didn't want to do. "Someone needs to take out the trash? Sorry, I can't. I'm wearing *this.*" (Points to skirt.) Plus, they actively enforced comfortable social distancing with the sheer circumference of their dresses. No one can invade your personal bubble if your hoopskirts are in the way!
So, you want to get into politics, eh? Think you can swing it? There are a lot of rules once you're in this elite group. Meetings begin at down and could go till dusk. You won't be paid and you'll have to be willing to spend all day at the temple of Apollo. Wait, what? We're talking old-school Roman senators, you mean you want to be a modern senator? We have no idea how that works but we do know plenty about togas.Senators back in the B.C.'s knew how to dress to impress. Forget about pin-stripes, lapel pins, and cheesy seasonal ties. These senators draped themselves in the finest wool and if they were ultra well-off they'd even add a strip of red or purple cloth to their drapery. You have to wonder if they knew they were setting a standard for college parties thousands of years in their future. How many of those long days of filibustering and vetoing ended in a healthy, "chug, chug, chug" chant? It would be weirdly comforting if we knew that senators had to participate in rush-week to get a seat in the senate.Well, whether you want to go back in time to learn about democracy from the ground up or are going to an annual toga party, you're sure to look like a well-to-do senator in this outfit. Not only does this costume have an eye-catching red cloth draped over the ribbed linen-like material but the cloth's hems are also lined in gold. The whole ensemble is belted with gold and topped off with golden laurels, giving you the authority to discuss converting the main city aquifer into a waterslide.
Historical SpotlightsIn our experience, some of the best-looking costumes get overlooked just because they were inspired by a historical era that doesn’t lend itself to outfits with a lot of bells and whistles. But this Adult Green Renaissance Lady Costume is the rare exception, because it goes hand-in-hand with one of the best-known tunes in English folk music! So just for fun, we thought we’d toss in a few bars of our own interpretation: Alas, good lady, you’re headed wrong If you think you can purchase theeA finer set of Renaissance dudsThan this gown in the color green. Green, green is on the sleeves, It’s on the bodice, o’er the knees,It’s in the grass, it’s in the trees,Now you can look green like these!Can’t you just hear the trill of recorders and the idle strumming of lutes? Well, we can—but we have a tendency to get a little too immersed in these kinds of things. If that’s even possible!Product DetailsEither way, we think this is the perfect outfit for a costume party or Ren Faire, especially if you want to get in the olde-fashioned spirit without fussing about authenticity. This elegant combo includes a flowing dress in rich green velour with gilded accents befitting a noblewoman, and a flowery headband to match. With a little music from the period and a quaint pair of dancing shoes, it’ll be a real challenge not to cut a caper or two!
