Steampunk is many things: a fashion statement, a literary genre, an attitude. And while it may seem like just another passing fad, those in the know understand that this lifestyle will always be a thing of the past – and that’s a good thing.We’ve got a staff full of the pop and counter-culture obsessed, so steampunk has been on our radars for a long time. But for the uninitiated, Steampunk embraces the simplicity of pre-industrial revolution technologies, such as steam power, while at the same time taking on a beautifully modern design aesthetic. This makes for a look that is both retro and modern, which makes it uniquely stylish.This women’s steampunk costume will help you stand out in a crowd this Halloween by showing off that modern sophistication through retro details. The women’s costume includes a dress that has Hook and Loop fastener tabs in the back for a secure fit. The bodice, sleeves, and yoke of the costume are all made of brown velvet for a classic yet elegant look. The dress has cream interlock ruffes at the edges of the sleeves as well as faux suede side panels and an interlock center panel on the bodice. The keyhole cutout below the high, ruffled collar gives it an added bit of detail. The skirt of the dress has an asymmetric hemline that is longer in the back for fuller coverage. The included faux leather buckled straps go across the wrists of brown velvet gloves. The foam top hat never loses its shape and has a brown velvet cover to match the rest of the look. The final touch is the plastic goggles that have an elastic band for a secure and comfortable fit. Add a pair of sexy high heeled boots for a complete look that’s out of this time period!
Being the leader of the Wolf tribe has some important requisites. Firstly, you have to have the right bloodline. The family of the wolf have been ruling the north for a thousand years, and the houses of the north know only one name as their master. And secondly, and perhaps even more importantly, you need to know how to swing a sword in battle. Whether you need to head south to avenge your blood, or you just need to hold down the fort when they snow starts flying, you just never know when you're going to need to have your sword handy to battle it out.Of course, our recommendation would be to arm yourself with this Wolf Master shield and sword set. It has a molded design of a wolf's head featured prominently on the shield, which makes carrying it around kind of a no-brainer. (Since the wolf is the sigil of your family, of course!) But, it also comes with a sweet sword that's ready for action. While this plastic armament set might not actually suffice for battling snow zombies or trying to unseat the king, it will complete your authentic medieval look. Pick up this unique prop accessory set to complete your costume!
Simple SolutionYour gal told you in no uncertain terms that for Halloween, she wants her costume to take her back to simpler times. So you got her a retro 50s poodle skirt costume.

You can dress the whole family up as a wagon-full of hopeful pioneers, or she can navigate the neighborhood on her own this Halloween, hunting for the best sustenance (read: candy) while you all tend the fire and oxen back at camp. Here's hoping she collects enough to keep you all going until you make it to the next trading post!Design & DetailsJust look at the detail on this Girl's Pioneer Costume—they just don't make 'em like this anymore. Except...we do! We did! The exclusive dress features long sleeves to keep the night chill off her, as well as a long, muted calico skirt with a ruffled hem. There is a rose-colored bow at the collar and a ruffle down the center of the bodice. A simple apron makes this look appropriately utilitarian, while the calico bonnet will keep her braids in place even during the windiest of travel days.Little TrailblazerThis costume makes for a unique appearance on Halloween, but your girl has always blazed her own path! Her grit, determination, and optimism would have been a perfect fit for the pioneering days—maybe that's why she can't wait to relive them!
In the ancient times, war and bloodshed were absolutely inevitable and inescapable but there was one group of people in particular who welcomed it with open arms. In fact their eagerness and greatness in battle has created an immortal name for them. They were none other than the great and powerful Spartans.

Try on these Spartan-Style Leg Shields and you can already feel your enemies quaking at the sound of your approach. You'll be ready to take on entire armies by yourself in no time! Don't forget to gather the rest of your supplies such as a sword and shield.

It's Hero Time! "Hail, Caesar! We, about to die, salute thee!" Whoa, depressing much? Not really. Those gladiators were just covering their bases. Obviously they planned to defeat their enemies, impress the crowds, become a mighty hero and all that jazz, but...their opponents were usually huge tigers who hadn't been fed in a week and were starting to think that a nice, muscle-bound gladiator might be a tasty snack. Or a huge criminal who had been promised his freedom if he could bash in enough gladiator heads. So, just in case, the gladiators made sure to salute the throne like it was the last thing they'd ever do. Fortunately for you, you've got the right equipment and skills - you'll be a hero for sure!

Don't Take that Throne with ME!Cleopatra might have born royal but she had to struggle to rule. First, it was her little brother that tried to take the throne. Then it was her other little brother. Because of her ambition, she was tossed out of the capital city. Tough stuff. This might have stopped someone less intense. But Cleopatra is an icon for a reason! The down and out queen had her servants roll her up in a carpet and sneak her into the capital's palace when Rome's king was visiting.

Go Go GorgonThe Gorgons are myths of iconic proportions, though most only know of them via their matriarch, Medusa. But Medusa is merely one sister of three! She’s the youngest of the three serpent-haired and cursed aquatic sisters who could turn mortals to stone with just a gaze.

Life as a PioneerThe pioneers were brave people. A picturesque life on the prairie included all sorts of dangers. Relentlessly hot summers gave way to brutally cold winters. People would look up from their work when and see a wall of prairie fires headed toward their farm, growing taller with each foot of grass that was consumed. Then there were the terrifying swarms of locusts that not only ate the crops but would devour the clothes and the clothes line if the laundry hadn't been brought in fast enough.So why, after all that trouble, do we remember the days of the pioneer so fondly? It was a time of hope. Those people with limited options who had only known the crowded city streets of coastal cities could find a place where they could watch the sunset and rise on an open horizon. They could build something all their own and truly be free. The communities out there were the definition of tightly knit. And how awesome would it have been to travel by covered wagon?Product DetailsWhen your daughter dresses as in this dress, she'll feel as free as that pioneer girl collecting herbs and roots on the prairie.

One thing is for sure, it's hard not to get into character in this ensemble. Next thing you know she'll want to trade in her tablet for hoop and stick game.
Top historians from all over the world, even the ones who are total ninnies, can all agree to at least one fundamental academic principle: that knights are totally the coolest guys ever, even cooler than ninjas, pirates, and zombies combined.

And you have your Knights of the Round Table, saving damsels and calculating the airspeed velocity of unladen swallows around the clock.Do you have what it takes to be a knight? To wake up at the crack of dawn to practice your, horsemanship, chivalry, and head-chopping-off skills? Do you have the gumption to hunt down heretics the world over? Do you have the decency to die face down in the muck because you can’t get up thanks to the 150 pounds of plate armor you’re wearing?If you’re anything like us, definitely not. Doesn’t matter though, because all you need to live the chivalrous lifestyle nowadays is our Renaissance Coat. With this matching coat, belt, and pair of gauntlets you’ll have your look all set for any pageant, party, or role-playing event your quest can throw at you. Knaves will cower in terror as your triumphant shadow casts over them. You won’t be able to even keep track of the damsels wooed by your presence, and maybe a few crones too. It’s that potent!

Cross the Delaware - Or the BathtubThe Father of our Country is an amazing historical figure, but do you know who else would have been happy to fill his shoes? Your toddler! We bet your little one could do several of the things that our national hero did over the course of his career. Chop down a cherry tree with a toy axe? Your little one did that yesterday to your favorite rosebush. Scout out the land as a surveyor and go for weeks without seeing civilization? Your toddler has a habit of disappearing and returning wearing enough dirt to look like he went on a month-long expedition. Lead a brand-new country into an age of prosperity? Your toddler could do that easily, but there would be a lot more resolutions to abolish school on sunny days and protocols about greeting visiting diplomats with fart noises.Design & DetailsTech geniuses and teens bitten by spiders aren't the only superheroes out there - say hello to a classic hero when your little one wears this exclusive George Washington Costume for Toddlers! The golden vest front and white ascot look splendidly presidential under the long, velvety blue jacket with its gold trim, shiny buttons, and fringed epaulets decorating its shoulders.

Even though his costume might get him some sweet perks, we do not recommend that he impose a tax on his friends' Halloween candy. That would be an abuse of power.
We have so many questions about how princesses lived in the Medieval era. How could they stand wearing those gorgeous gowns without taking even one selfie? How did they keep those billowing sleeves from dragging through their morning porridge? How often did they actually interact with unicorns, once a week, monthly, biannually? Life as a royal may not have been the perfect life that we've come to imagine from fairy tales but those regal girls certainly knew how to dress. If you see your daughter snap to attention when anyone mentions castles, she will love this luxurious teal gown. Straight out of Avalon, this graceful ensemble would blend into the King Arthur tales perfectly. Once in this gown, she's going to want her first unicorn ride but it'll be up to you to let her know that those mystical horses haven't been spotted since the 1200s. Sure, she might be disappointed but she'll forget all about it once she sees the photos you've been snapping of her. Regal details pepper this velvety gown from head to toe. The metallic edging of the full, hanging sleeves is echoed in the floral design along the neckline and the brocade ribbon belt. Any courtiers that saw a princess in a gown this gorgeous would want her crowned, pronto. Whether your family is attending a Renaissance festival or your girl wants to dress up as Camelot's first lady, Guinevere, for Halloween she's bound to feel that rush of nobility when she feels the lush fabric of her sleeves. Turns out, it's easy to have to best of both worlds. She can dress like a princess but she doesn't have to give up modern conveniences like electricity and plumbing. Now that she's learned that you're just going to have to get used to called her "my liege".

Sophisticated and SanctifiedDid you know that Egyptian pharaohs were considered divine? How could they be anything less? They were well-dressed, adorned with beautiful jewelry, and had the full attention of everyone in their kingdom. Can you imagine the epic parties that the Egyptian gods and goddesses took part in?

The Ultimate AnswerWe all get asked the question from time to time. 'What's your favorite animal?' We all naturally have a quality answer to that query (even if it might change a few times over the years). The dog is well known as humanity's best friend. Then you've got the cat who has clearly won the Internet.

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!
Heading out on an incredible steampunk adventure always sounds like a blast! But any intrepid explorer knows you can't go on a vintage fantasy quest wearing just any old getup. Gearing up in this fashionably fanciful Steampunk Girl Costume is a top notch way to look cute and ready for excitement!In the steampunk world, you have many of the same comforts and conveniences at your disposal as you do in the modern world, except everything is a little bit different. For instance, if you were living in a steampunk society, you wouldn't just hop onto the subway or get in your car to run to the grocery store. Everyone knows that you would board a “pneumatic-actuated municipal mass conveyor” or pilot your “personal autonomous gyro-copter” to the “provisions and sundries shoppe"! What may surprise you, though, are the kinds of dangers you could run into on your journeys, which are also a little bit different. In a retro-futuristic world, you have to keep your eyes open for villainous sky pirates and their fleets of pillaging zeppelins, and mad scientist masterminds stomping around a city in a steam-powered clockwork monstrosity. Sounds like a capital adventure to us!The other thing that may surprise you about steampunk life is how cute the outfits are. Just add a pair of vintage style boots to this elegantly sporty costume, and your trendy blend of Victorian and science fiction fashion will look perfect at the wheel of a massive airship, or cutting loose on a dance floor!
Kids always think that they are invulnerable and that can make for a pretty intimidating life for those of us who are obliged to keep them from suffering any lasting harm. Now, many of us are alright with the idea that they’ll head out and scuff a knee or even get a bit of a black lip in the midst of their play. It builds up a bit of an immune system and also helps to teach them some practical lessons about personal safety while also letting them actually live out their lives. Still, there are limits to what we’re willing to let them expose themselves towards!So, when we noticed that there was a rather boisterous knight hanging around the neighborhood, offering to duel a bunch of the residents in order to gain passage down the sidewalk, alley, or once even to get inside the bagel shoppe, we had a few concerns. Fortunately, the knight wasn’t too much of a struggle to defeat… excepting that he just kept coming back and seemed to suffer no pause from any damage that he suffered. It immediately made us all realize that this guy was going to teach our tykes that they were truly immortal… even if it meant losing a couple limbs! Flesh wound, our butts!So, we are getting ahead of this fiasco by giving you the opportunity to educate your tykes on the amazing Black Knight yourselves. This costume is a complete and near historic armor set including a foam fronted shirt with a silver mesh collar and sleeves to imitate chain mail and a foam helmet that fastens by Hook and Loop fastener and covers the whole head. The foam armaments continue, including gauntlets, boot tops, knee guards, and the face grille can optionally cover the face or be left open. A bright red cape finishes off the look, though you can accessorize with a weapon and shield for the full package. With all this armor, your tyke will be truly protected, though we still recommend avoiding blocking the paths of certain kings.
”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.

No matter. When they have this super sweet costume, they're going to have a battle-ready look ready to roll! It’s styled as a tunic along with a chest piece and helmet, and it also comes with belt and arm guard accessories to complete the ensemble.

Alrighty, folks, remember… We’re approaching that season where the veil between worlds thins and we can periodically see visitors from a few different places pop in to ask a few important questions. And, given what has happened a few times in the past, it is important to make sure we’re all on the same page. What do we say when some sort of odd gatekeeping extradimensional creature scowls at you and asks if you are a god? You know the answer, so there is no need to belabor that any further. But, just saying “Yes!” isn’t going to cut it anymore. They know that we know that, now, too! So, you have to know what kind of god? What powers? Over which domain do you rule?These are the big questions and the road to divinity is a very important one. Our suggestion is to go with a group of gods who have a lot of experience and still know how to have a good time with the mortals. Off to Mount Olympus, then, to learn about the proper protocol, hierarchy, and your rights and responsibilities as a Greek Goddess. Spooked? Ha, don’t worry. The Greek Gods are quite casual about everything, so long as you don’t muddle up their own machinations.With that handled, it is time to don your divine garb of the Roman Goddess costume. You’ll be right at home with Jupiter and Apollo in this glorious ombré gradient, floor-length, sleeveless dress that blends from cream to teal from top to bottom. As lovely as that is, alone, the accents are what truly make these cloths majestic. A gold braid edged V-neck and O-rings at each shoulder are matched by the gold leaf headpiece, all of which make for a clear marker of your divinity. So, the new question: Of what are you a goddess? … That one might take a bit longer, so we suggest you pick wine.
Embarking on a crusade on behalf of your kingdom? Guarding a mysterious and powerful artifact from dangerous foes? Heading to the renaissance faire, and can't decide what to wear? 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. The good news was that they were easy to spot in their white tunics with the big red crosses on them (and also the gleaming swords they carried); but the bad news was that they were some of the fiercest and best equipped fighters you could find. That's only bad news if you were on their bad side, though. If you were skilled and dedicated enough, you could always join their order and become a Templar, and then you'd be fighting alongside the very best!Okay, maybe becoming a Templar Knight was a little more complicated than swinging a sword and paying a monthly membership fee; but when you're donning this dashingly heroic costume, you'll appear up to the task! Armor up in this long white and red cross detailed tunic with its attached metallic mesh sleeves and the matching hood, which resemble sturdy chain mail. Add a pair of rugged looking boots and a fierce longsword to tote around as you carry out whatever quest you're charged with!
Home, Home On the PlainsThe plains might have been where the deer and the antelope roamed. And yeah, sure you might not have heard a discouraging word very often. But that doesn't change the fact that life in the prairie was crazy challenging. The land was ripe for planting once you plowed up the sod. But then you had to hope that a mob of grasshoppers wouldn't fly through eating everything in their path including the clothes hanging from the clothesline, the clothesline, and very curtains on your windows. And if it wasn't a year when locusts were popular you could worry about crazy fast wildfires, drought, and well water contamination. You probably know the drill if you've ever played Oregon Trail. But even though life on the plains was so hard, people still did it! And they managed to stay looking perfectly sweet while doing so!Product Details & DesignThis Made-By-Us costume has little details that'll make you stand out from all the other pioneers. Our designers researched historical costumes and took aspects such as the curved collar and the crisp ruffle down the front. The subtly puffed sleeves, the ruffled apron, and softly flowered skirt all come together to make you feel right at home on the prairie. With high-quality seams and a zipper up the back, this is a look that you'll be able to wear again and again! Want to include the whole family? We have pioneer costumes for every age range and size. Don't Be a Prairie ChickenIf you love the great plains, don't hold back! Show your love right on your sleeve. Lucky for you, you can wear this outfit without having to live in a sod house. Since it's perfect for school projects, town festivals, and plays you'll be happy to have this look in your costume collection. Now, if only you could get ahold of a pet buffalo to finish your look. . .
Did you know that the word "laureate," is a noun, used to describe someone who has achieved distinction? Neither did we! Thank god for Google! So, here's what we found out, ''laureate'', comes from the ancient custom of crowning winners of athletic competitions with a wreath made from leaves of the bay laurel tree! Pretty cool, right? Well, we thought so, and now we have this Laurel Leaf Headband available for you to place upon your crown and let others know you are, in fact, a champion. This accessory lets you become the laureate at your costume event. Even if you haven't won anything lately, you will still have achieved distinction in how good you look, compared to the rest of the party. If anyone asks and just has to know where you found this beautiful headband, make sure you let them know it was awarded to you by the gods, for your many accomplishments in life! Now, if they get curious as to what those amazing feats are, we would just suggest you subtly change the subject as soon as possible. Anyways, if you are planning to sport a Greek/Roman costume, or even just an athletic costume be sure to add this Laurel Leaf Headband and help your costume achieve a distinct look!
The king calls, and you answer. It's a simple proposition, really. He's the new king, and he's moving to the capital where most, if not all, of his enemies live. So he needs the bestest, bravest, and burliest knights in all of the land to stand by his side. He's appointing a special unit of body guards, you see.

Mixed MotivationsIf you had lived in Europe in the wide range of years from 1095 to 1492, you probably would have known a man or two who had joined in a crusading movement. It was a popular choice for many reasons. For one, if you were a serf, you legally belonged to your lord. The pope promised that serfs that joined in the fight would be given freedom on their return. Soldiers also joined to see the world, get land, gain wealth, and have their sins wiped clean. Like all other ventures, every individual had their own reasons for joining. Now that the crusades have been over for more than 600 years, the little crusader in your life can choose their very own mission. Are they crusading to fight for freedom from an early curfew? Or perhaps they're campaigning for a trip to an indoor water park this winter. Like the actual crusades, every soldier is in it for a different reason. Whatever your child's motivations might be, the mission is sure to be more successful if they're dressed for success!Design & DetailsYour child will feel like they're ready for anything when they slip into this Made by Us crusader costume. The costume has a tunic at the base and with silver sequins that make up a chain mail look and texture. Your child is sure to be excited about the "shining armor" look. A red cross tabard is draped over the tunic and the hood is draped over the neck, looking awesome whether it's worn up around the head or down. The look is topped off with details like the draping belt and faux leather gloves. A Sharp LookKid's will be jumping with excitement when they know this costume is coming in the mail. Make sure they're ready to wear this costume as soon as it's out of the package by adding on a sword and shield and pairing it with leggings and boots. We'd say this costume will conquer this Halloween with ease!
We surveyed a pool of 100 men to ask them what their beard means to them. This is a brief summary of our findings...Once thought of as a personal grooming choice for only mountain-men and lumberjacks, beards have made quite a comeback in recent years. Now everyone from hipsters residing in Brooklyn to philosophy professors are choosing to sport this popular trend in facial hair. The men we talked to like sporting full beards because it makes them feel powerful, rugged, hardy, and overall more masculine. "No one ever picks a bar fight with a man who's efficient at growing a beefy beard," one participant noted. "Yeah, if a beard was good enough for Abe Lincoln, then a beard is good enough for me," another participate explained.Men-in-the-making, don't worry because your ability to display a robust beard will come soon enough. Until then, wear this red viking beard to give you the macho appearance you desire. You can see what it's like to have a furry face while also enjoying your time as a kid because it goes fast. Be at ease knowing that you will truly join the beard movement some day soon!
It Was the Best of Times, It Was the Worst of Times...Civil war, or any kind of war, is never great. There's always bloodshed, heartbreak, sickness, shortages, and wounds - both physical and mental - that take time to heal. On the other hand, just like throughout the rest of human history, there are always good things to be found right alongside the bad. Physicians start to realize that handwashing before surgery is a good idea. The bridge to women's suffrage begins to be built. The steam engine blazes across the prairie, reuniting families and cutting down on weeks of travel in covered wagons. And best of all, women's fashions were absolutely stunning! Product DetailsYou'll fit right in during the War between the States thanks to this exclusive Plus Size Women's Civil War Dress Costume! The floor-length dress is made of light and comfortable polyester calico fabric and is printed all over with a delicate floral pattern. We did you a solid and put a zipper up the back instead of a million tiny buttons (it might be less historically accurate, but you'll thank us for the fact that you can fasten your dress yourself instead of having to get someone to do it for you.) Pink satin ribbon decorates the cuffs, hemline, and bodice, and a matching ribbon is sewn to the waist as a sash. The plastic cameo and decorative buttons give the dress some extra flair. An included petticoat goes under the whole thing to pouf out your skirts beautifully - no hoopskirt required! American BelleWhether you wear this costume for a pageant, reenactment or party, you'll look like America's sweetheart. Enjoy the benefits of throwback fashion without having to wear a corset to get the look!

The Warriors of OldThe great Roman gladiators of the time, although pitted against each other in the arena, were very well treated for the most part. They were fed well and received the best medical attention money could buy. After all, they were both warriors and entertainers for the Roman people.After all, the great audiences of Rome wanted to see mighty warriors locked into intense competition! These powerful fighters took on not only each other in the ring but lions, tigers, even bears! We know what you're thinking, "oh my!" (You were waiting for that, weren't you?) "I could never be one of those fearsome brawlers!" Well, we're here to say that you absolutely can...look exactly like one of those battling warriors!Product DetailsEnter the ring in this Roman Gladiator Costume! Wear the ancient armor of the most brutal group of fighters since the Spartans! (And yes, among other exotic peoples, Spartans fought as gladiators.) Which tools will you choose? A net and spear (difficult to work but deadly for catching enemies by surprise), dual swords (flashy and full of offense but hard to block javelins!), or will you pick up the age-old classic pairing of the sword and shield? This costume comes with a pullover tunic, body armor that attaches with Hook and Loop fastener, faux suede armbands, a matching headband, foam shin guards, as well as a molded plastic medallion. Add some Roman-style sandals to complete the look and let the crowd go wild with the entertainment you provide! We'd recommend just looking really good in this armor instead of actually fighting since it's not quite as sturdy as what the real deal was! But hey, maybe looks will win the crowd, it's happened before!
