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! They studied classic portraits of him to craft this Kid's Galileo Costume. The costume starts with a jacket that has a button-up front, along with a contrasting collar and sleeve cuffs, just like he's seen in the Justus Sustermans painting! The costume also comes with a pair of slim-fit pants that have elastic in the waist for a comfortable fit. The included wig and beard set gives your child the look of a wizened look of the brilliant astronomer.Shining BrightSome stars shine brighter than others! That's just science and we're pretty sure that your child will be the brightest star of them all when they dress up as Galileo!
Kids in Ye Olde DaysCan you believe what they had to put up with back then? It’s nothing like the struggles that an average kid goes through today! Kids in the pioneer days of the American frontier had to get up early in the morning to feed the chickens. You know, before the rooster even crows! They had to help out with chores in the morning and they had to gather firewood for the winter. They had to cut down stones, plough fields, and they had to plant fields with crops. They couldn’t microwave some pizza rolls when they got hungry and they had to go to the bathroom in an outhouse.

A Mummy MonarchAncient Egypt had plenty of gods to look up to. There was Renpet, the goddess of time. Priests revered Heka, a god of magic and medicine. Then, of course, there were upwards of a dozen death deities. Death was super complicated in Ancient Egypt. There were multiple gods and goddesses that were there simply to escort the dead to the lord of the underworld. Then there were the deities that were in charge of the different aspects of mummification. Anubis was the head honcho of this department. He was in charge of weighing a souls heart, which was the main deciding factor that let souls pass enter the realm of the dead. We wouldn't let our dogs near so many raw hearts but maybe god dogs have more self-restraint than your everyday Fido.

The ensemble is topped off with a mask and showstopping jackal headpiece with striking gold and black accents. Curse of the CanineWhen it comes to raiding tombs, there's no way we'd want to cross Anubis!

No wonder ancient Egyptian priests showed this god so much respect. This Halloween, become the loyal guardian of the dead with this showstopping Anubis costume!

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.

Coming at 'chaCleopatra might have been lost to history if she didn't know how to make an entrance. Seriously! She wasn't first in line. She was a woman. She could easily have lost her power. But she wanted to rule and she would stop at nothing to make that happen. When her brother cast her out of Alexandria, the capital of Egypt, she simply waited until Caeser came to visit and talk politics. She then had her servants roll her in a rug that was a "gift" for the ruler of Rome. They unfurled her before the Roman general and let her make the first impression for the history books. With her grace, wit, and wisdom, Cleo convinced the military genius that it would be better if she took over the Egyptian rule instead of her troublesome brother. And that, friends, is history. Product DetailsIt takes a lot of confidence to rule like legendary Cleopatra and no ensemble says confidence quite like this look. In classy black and gold, this costume features a geometric bodysuit with a sheer panel at the front and back, framing the hips. You'll love the combination of long sleeves and dramatic V-neck. A zipper up the back and snap at the crotch makes bathroom breaks and costume changes a breeze. Topped off with a beaded cobra headpiece, you'll look every inch the queen as soon as you slip into this Cleopatra costume.Asp Her No QuestionsWe can only imagine all the secrets that Cleopatra had when she met her untimely end. She knew the secrets of Rome as well as ancient Egypt. But as we're not even sure that the stories we tell about this legendary are true or not, we just have to put ourselves in her place and imagine the secrets she carried. It's your turn to live the legend!

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!
Interesting InsectsWhen we think about steampunk-themed items, we usually think of mechanics. After all, the idea is to consider what our world would look like if we still ran things on steam instead of other forms of energy. We don’t always wonder what mechanical animals would look like. Here’s one imagining of an awesome insect! We’ve always been a little disappointed that dragonflies don’t actually look like miniature dragons. However, they’re still really cool! They have 4 wings instead of the typical 2, which is pretty neat, and they come in so many different colors. In the steampunk world, they’re made of metal so they’re a little less vibrant, but their wings are still beautiful!Product DetailsAdd the perfect gear-themed accessory to your steampunk outfit with this antique dragonfly gear pin! It has gears to emulate that antique style while keeping the shape of the fascinating bug, and attaches with a safety pin to minimize stabbing. Use it to complete your costume or send it to a friend as a fantastic steampunk gift!Don’t Bug Me!If you’re obsessed with the imaginary era of gears and steam, this antique dragonfly gear steampunk pin is for you. Its beautiful insect design merges the natural with the artificial, and is a great accessory for your next costume!
What we do in life... echoes in eternity.So says General Maximus at the beginning of the classic Ridley Scott film, Gladiator. While that is some expertly written and memorable dialogue, we hope it's also a true statement. But we have no idea! What do we look like, metaphysicists?? We don't know what happens in eternity! But if our life echoes within it, we're glad you're taking a look at this officially licensed General Maximus costume, because it's epic enough to wear forever.The only thing we'd advise against is getting into any actual Roman battles wearing this thing. It's made of latex and not metal as it appears. That being said, you could probably frighten some barbarians with it, but we don't really recommend that either. That would require a costly trip to Germany, and also a time machine to around 180AD. That's also where you'd have to go to get the real version of this armor. Since that technology doesn't exist, we think our version is an amazing first realistic choice!Since this costume has incredible details and quality (How about that realistic armor and fur trimmed cape? It's straight out of the movie!) we think you should go to a party, wait for the exact right moment, then step up into the spotlight and give an incredible, awe-inspiring speech to all your fellow party-goers. That's what Maximus would do! You'll be remembered in poetry and song as the greatest general Rome had ever seen... to give a rousing speech while holding a red Solo cup."Brothers! What we drink tonight... will echo in our bodies tomorrow, and possibly eternity!"*drink responsibly

Better than the real thingIt's safe to say that childhood was short in the Middle Ages. It wasn't that kids were less childish, it was just that there was always so much to do. There was yarn to spin, wool to card, peas to shell, gardens to weed, chickens to feed, chickens to pluck, firewood to gather, hems to sew, fields to sew, stews to stir, and water to fetch. So you can be sure that if you were a kid during this time, you'd have plenty of chores every day. Can you imagine a child in today's era yielding a sharp object to peel carrots by an open fire on which balanced a pot of boiling water? Nope, that would not fly these days. Still, it's wonderful to picture villager children of the Renaissance and Medieval era letting loose and gathering flowers. Luckily for us, we might not have a long, long list of chores but we still have access to the clothing of those eras. When you dress your child in a look like this one, it's like going back in time only way, way better!Design & DetailsMade by Us, this Renaissance Villager Costume for girls is a cut above your typical princess costume. The two layers consist of a simple white sheath that has off-shoulder sleeves. The overskirt has a beautiful blue color with a silver-blue flower pattern. With just enough shine to make your kiddo excited to wear it, while still looking natural in pictures, this costume will make everyone happy. The lace-up bodice is secured with velvet textured ribbons that are sewn along the seam of the top and the overskirt as well.Hay-nonny-nonnyA look like this is ready for anything from Ren Faire to a themed party. Top this villager costume off with a crown of braids and your little one will feel like a character straight out of a picture book!

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

Navigating the UnderworldThe Egyptian underworld is a complicated place. Spirits that passed through would have to navigate all sorts of obstacles including strange creatures, gatekeepers, and a total of 42 divine judges. Smart souls would study the book of the dead to plead their case with the right terms in order to convince the judges to overlook their earthly wrongdoings. After that intimidating ordeal, the souls would then go on to get their hearts weighed against the feather of truth. If all that went well, the souls would be welcomed into the afterlife by Osiris. Of course, only royalty went through this process with Anubis by their side. So, this year, if you're heading to the Egyptian underworld as a mummy, make sure you're treated like a king and bring this Anubis staff with you.

My country tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.During the American Revolution women were called upon to help their country. They were asked to design the new American flag. They were responsible for how the world would see our budding nation. How we would be perceived by other countries.These women were the backbone of early American life. They washed their clothes on washboard racks, and dried them on clothes lines. They did back breaking house work, as their men folk were off fighting against the British, for freedom from the king.

Wash Your HandsWhen Florence Nightingale came on the medical scene during the Crimean War, more soldiers were passing away due to sickness than injury. Once soldiers entered the medical bay they were exposed to some seriously awful bugs. When the sharp-eyed, diplomatic Nightingale saw the conditions of the medical tents she wrote to the government to tell them to save the soldiers through hygiene. Under pressure, the government went to work improving ventilation and sewage treatment.In the meantime, Florence implemented handwashing rules and trained nurses in keeping sanitary conditions. Under her watchful eye and lantern light, the rate of survival in the hospitals went from fifty-one percent to an amazing ninety-eight percent.

Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.Your son has just gotten the part of Benjamin Franklin in his school play. You knew they were doing a play, and you knew he was going to be trying out, but he kept telling you that he was going to get the part of James Franklin, Ben's brother. But then he got the lead. And you were proud. Then he told you that the school won't be providing the costume.That was two months ago. He has been practicing his lines. Memorizing everything he can for proper immersion into the character. He has even started talking like Franklin. "It's called method acting. Duh." That's what he said to you when you asked about the extra research. Then you remember that you need to get his costume. Now it is the 11th hour, the play is just two weeks away. You need to find that costume, and you need to find it now.Luckily for you, we have this Child Benjamin Franklin Costume. It comes with the grey twill jack that Franklin is always depicted wearing, and an attached vest, just a lighter shade of grey with decorative buttons. And when your son asks where the electric clippers are, you know that you will also need to buy the Child Benjamin Franklin Wig to ensure your son doesn't shave the top of his head, then somehow figure out a way to dye the rest of it grey. Maybe he will pick up the old adage about early to bed, early to rise. Probably not though.

Tavern TimeThere are a lot of reasons for owning a tavern back in the day would be a tough business. Those barrels of ale are heavy, you know! Don't even get us on the weight of Mead! Have you ever tried to juggle 100 tankards on the way to the washing trough? It's a whole lot of work, that's for sure. You would have to dodge the fury of angry regulars who had their fill of mead, too. And there is always the threat of a dragon about. Fire and old wooden structures? Not such a good combination! But, there are some upsides... this stylish costume is one of them!Design & DetailsWe would much prefer to be a young tavern regular. You know, a barkeep’s boy who plays in the alley out back.
