Dauphin DudsMany know Louis the 16th as one of the most famous of the French kings. In fact, he was the last king of France! The details around the end of his monarchy aren't particularly fun to recall but many forget that it started at a pretty young age. He was never expected to become the king since he was the second born. That let him focus on learning everything from Latin to astronomy.

Who Wants to Be King?!Having your father return from his year-long, self-imposed exile is a pretty big deal.

And that's all the time you needed to start clubbing!
Angel of the BattlefieldLife as a soldier in the Civil War was pretty brutal. The conditions were awful. Any injury could be life-threatening and medical care was scant. With these dismal circumstances, it's no wonder that the capable Clara Barton was known as the angel of the battlefield! She would go out to distribute life-saving care, washing wounds, changing bandages, offering water and soup to the miserable soldiers in the muck and smoke. Her courage on the battlefield was famous. This led the way to make sure women could take on the role of battlefield nurse with an element of respect. After the war, Ms. Barton traveled to Switzerland, learning about all the good the European Red Cross was doing. She came home determined to open an American sector of The Red Cross. She worked with fellow famous friends such as Fredrick Douglas to make her vision a reality. Clara Barton continued to devote herself to life-saving medical outreach until she retired at the ripe old age of 83. We hope she got a chance to spend a few years with her feet up and a tropical drink in your hand!Design & DetailsThis historical Made By Us Clara Barton costume was designed by our in-house creative team. The floor-length blue poplin gown has a built-in petticoat and it zips up the back. A white apron with a red cross on the chest ties around your waist for a neat look.

Picking Your BattlesWhen you're fighting for one of the most powerful monarchies in the world, you might not think anyone has a chance. After all, the Brits had the ships, the men, and the highly caffeinated tea. Who can stand up to that? The thing is, any nation can stretch themselves too thin. The British Empire was one of many nations to realize that one government can't rule the whole world. If you want to do the Redcoats a favor at your next costumed event, do your battalion a favor and pick your battles wisely. Don't get mad at that guy who cuts in front of you in traffic, no matter how tough you look in your smart red jacket. But you could totally put your two cents in when two blunderbusses are arguing over musket brands, that's a battle that a soldier like you can win!Design & DetailsOur in-house designers created a quote the dashing, historically inspired look with this British Redcoat Costume. The long coat's front is framed with a black collar with gold buttons and braid on the sides. The collar matches the cuffs for an official style. The look is pulled together with the attached tan vest that buttons up at the center-front, and with a white cravat that fastens around the neck. Layer the chest belt over the jacket/vest combo and wear it with your own pair of white, tan, or gray pants for the full ensemble. Then, just pull boot tops over a pair of black shoes and you'll be ready to represent the British Empire!Trending TroopsRedcoats might not get a lot of play in today's media but we think this look is ready for a comeback. There's no need for them to support colonialism, they can simply represent everything we love about Britain. Like the British baking shows for instance, is there anything more admirable than a polite reality television show? We don't think so. Invest in a powdered wig and a prop scabbard, British invasion is back by popular demand!

Don't Judge a Tut by its TombThe crypt had stood in silence for generations. Dust was everywhere, thick like fallen snow. But, as the adventurers stepped into the room, sending particles flying into the air, they couldn't help but cough until their lungs were raw! As the dust settled and the torchlight filled the room, they saw it against the far wall. Light glinted off the gold and bronze. The gemstones gleamed under the flickering flames. The Sarcophagus of the Tomb! Their lungs burned. Fear gripped their hearts. The adventurers turned and fled, screaming about the curse that had certainly afflicted them.Then, King Tut just sighed. Tut shrugged, turned around, went back through the secret passage to the tomb's kitchenette and turned off the stove. "I guess I'll save the tea for my next guests." It would have to be another decade of The Great British Bake Off and Mary Tyler Moore reruns. Unless! There was one other chance to make some friends...Design & DetailsIt is time for the season where even the spookiest of curses are welcomed with wide arms. Our Made by Us design team is happy to clean you up and get you ready for the event with this King Tut Sarcophagus costume. This is a long robe that zips up the back and is printed all over with gleaming gold, gemstone patterns, and designed inspired by ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics.

Pick up some gold body paint or gloves to permanently etch this awesome look in the memories of all who look upon you! No Curses IncludedThanks to the refined look of this King Tut Sarcophagus costume, you'll be Tutting around the Halloween shindig in no time. Folks will be wondering where that myth of the curse even came from... so long as they treat you right, anyway.
Battlefield to BoardroomClara Barton is one of the most iconic nurses in history. It's no wonder, she bravely marched into battlefields to take care of wounded soldiers during the Civil War. Not only did she save lives with her own hands, but she also empowered many women after her to follow in her footsteps. After the war in the US, she traveled the world and advocated for the protection of sick and wounded soldiers by all sides during wartime. And once she got back home, Clara Barton helped found the American Red Cross, where she served as president until she was 83 in 1904. Just imagine how strong a woman would have to be to hold such an important position in a time when women weren't even allowed to vote!Design & DetailsOur in-house design team took care to add plenty of historic details into this Made By Us Clara Barton costume. They created a silhouette that would look right at home in the 1860s with billowing sleeves and a floor-length skirt with a built-in petticoat. At the same time, they've added handy modern shortcuts to make slipping back into time easier such as a zipper up the back and elastic around the wrists. To make you ready to serve as the Battlefield angel, the costume is complete with white cuffs that slip over the dress sleeves and a matching broadcloth apron with a proud red cross on the chest. A neat bonnet completes the look, making sure you'll look right at home in a 19th-century medical tent! Historical MedicineIt took a real tough cookie to face medicine back in the day. These days we've got miracles such as Asprin and anti-biotics and handwashing on our side. Are you ready to take on a brave and iconic role? Do it in skirts with this Made By Us Clara Barton costume!
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!
Sometimes, the world just needs a rebel. What would have happened if Robin Hood just decided that he was going to obey the Sheriff of Nottingham's unfair rules and taxes? Sherwood probably would have been torn down to put up a parking lot or something (history isn't our strong suit).

Why can’t the post-apocalyptic world have anything nice? It’s always full of weirdos, biker gangs and cannibals… or at least that’s what every post-apocalyptic movie we’ve ever seen has taught us. Isn’t there some kind of future where the toxic waste hasn’t transformed half the population into blood-thirsty mutants? Isn’t there some version of humanity’s future that leads to rainbows, sunshine and everyone singing a spirited rendition of Kumbaya in a peaceful circle?Bah, who are we kidding?

All Hail Apollo!Quick! Name your favorite Greek deity! That can be pretty tough, since there are so many Greek gods and goddesses to choose from. There's Zeus, the king of the gods, but honestly, we think he's a little overrated. After all, what does he do besides hurling lightning bolts (that he doesn't even make himself, mind you) at unsuspecting humans? There's Poseidon, the god of the sea, who we think is cooler than his brother Zeus, but he's confined to a pretty set area. If there's no sea, he's out of luck. Not very powerful then, is he? You could pick Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, and that's a pretty decent choice, but she didn't accomplish much besides having an impressively long list of boyfriends.Of all the Greek gods and goddesses, we say Apollo is the best of the bunch! He's the god of light, music, harmony, poetry, the sun, healing, plagues, prophecy, knowledge, order, beauty, archery and agriculture... That is a pretty extensive list! Pretty much, this god has something for everyone!Product DetailsFeel like a god among men at your next costume party in this Men's Sexy Apollo Costume. This ancient Greece-inspired outfit comes with a shirt, cape, skirt, wrist gauntlets and a headpiece. The regal red shirt can be left off if you're especially daring, and the red and gold Greek-styled skirt is embellished with a lyre print, gleaming golden trim and three red faux jewels near the waist. There's also a gold polyester satin cape with a large ruby stone at the shoulder. To complete the look, the costume comes with soft golden wrist gauntlets and a gold leaf headpiece. (The sword and gladiator sandals are not included.)An Olympian in the HouseOnce you don this majestic Men's Sexy Apollo Costume, you'll be the personification of reason, harmony and moderation... And you'll look pretty darn handsome, too!
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.

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.

We can only imagine what the world would be like if steam power had turned out to be the last word in transportation and energy production. Which is good, because we really want to believe it would be just like all those steampunk novels we've read, in which a cunning heroine uses her engineering skills and mechanical-mindedness to create a clever new invention that saves the world from certain doom. Come to think of it, that's a pretty specific vision for the way things might have someday been. But at least it sounds stylish and full of adventure, even in the present day! Of course, real-life technology has been drifting away from smokestacks, paddle wheels, gears, and sprockets for some time, now. So to truly live the dream of an intrepid tinkerer, a girl is going to need a top-of-the-line time machine, and possibly an advanced degree in applied science. Or she could just do what most people do when they're nostalgic for the retro-future: put on a great-looking costume like this one!This kids costume combines a modified Victorian-era dress with some essential steampunk touches, like machined details and a pair of geartooth goggles.

Beauty of the NileWho was the real power in the ancient world? Julius Caeser or Marc Antony? Please. They were men. They had some successful campaigns, but so did another highly acclaimed ruler of their time. Plus, this particular ruler had a huge advantage: Personal style. Dazzling the masses and impressing your subjects is an important part of keeping the throne. And let's be honest: A sweeping gown is much more impressive than a boring old toga. Product DetailsBegin your glittering reign when you wear your exclusive Plus Size Queen Cleopatra Costume for Women! The sleeveless dress has a bodice made of shimmery gold faux linen. Center ruching accents the flattering V neckline and continues down the hips as the bodice forms a gently draped overskirt that parts in the middle to reveal the long metallic knit underskirt. A foam-backed belt with a front drape secures around your waist, and a semi-sheer metallic knit cape fastens around your shoulders via a gold faux leather collar. Crown your costume with the golden faux leather headband! Your Majesty Is Cleopatra #goals? Definitely! It's true that she did defeat her own brother in battle and pull some underhanded tricks, but that's just "making tough decisions." She's a smart and strategic general in her own right whose reign is not to be underestimated. The only thing she wasn't exactly great about is keeping her distance from snakes. Make sure you don't get too close to anyone wearing a serpent outfit this Halloween!
