5 Great Historical Costumes

Everyone knows that Halloween is generally a time for men to dress scary and women to dress sexy, but maybe it’s time for a departure from this method. Want to go the opposite route? Well, how about going historical! No, we don’t mean sexy hippie, we mean the Washingtons, George and Martha (among others, of course).

Our George Washington Adult Historical Costume is the perfect way to pay your respects to our first leader even if it’s not the 4^th of July! It includes a historically accurate blue jacket with gold trim, a grey vest and grey pants. If you’re going to dress like Georgie, you might as well go all the way. Top it off with our George Washington Colonial Wig, a smooth and distinguished (and very tall!) hairpiece that exudes a highly presidential air.

If you’re looking to replicate the hairstyle of Miss Martha herself, we recommend our Madame De Pompadour Wig, a hairpiece that subtly compliments George Washington’s, so that husband and wife can look powerful and polished together.

If it’s another president’s look you desire, try our Abraham Lincoln Adult Historic Costume. This deluxe getup includes a long black coat (Abe’s signature), as well as pants, vest, stovepipe hat and requisite beard. Don’t be surprised if the neighbors start asking you for advice regarding the upcoming election!

If you’re not looking for the whole shebang, check out our Abraham Lincoln Heroes in History Kit. This kit includes a beard and a stovepipe hat, but you’ll have to practice Abe’s speeches on your own time.

Another idea is to try out our Ben Franklin Historical Costume, a look so close to Ben’s that you might swear you’ve transcended the limits of time! The costume includes a jacket with attached vest and white cuffs, matching knickers and white socks, shoe covers and a white jabot. Top it off with our Ben Franklin Heroes in History Kit, which includes the headpieces and eyeglasses needed to transform you from ordinary Joe into historical hero.

No matter which famous historical hero you choose, make sure to educate yourself on the politics that go with them! While you’re at it, educate yourself on the politics of today as well. With one of the most important elections in recent history coming up, make like a historical hero and know your stuff.

The baddest troublemaker at Hogwarts (after Harry himself, of course!) is Malfoy, and we’ve got a Slytherin Robe Costume to help you channel him. The mean attitude and the high-pitched voice you’ll have to master on your own. Costume includes robe, shirt and tie. 

            If you’re looking to go the scary route, we have two options: Death Eaters and Dementors. Freaky and frightening, these numbers are as scary as they look.

Looking for some Couples Costumes?

Make like Sonny and Cher, one of the most famous couples in Hollywood history (way before Brad and Angie were around) and pick up one of our “I got you babe” Costumes. This crazy number includes purple pants for him and gold bell-bottoms for her, plus a whole lot of rainbow tie-dye.  You’re bringing sexy back, old school style.

It’s hilarious, it’s badass, and it’s an homage to the couple who started it all.

            Speaking of funny, our Nuts and Bolts Couples Costume is absolutely ridiculous in the best of ways. This costume is easy as can be, and features lame covered foam oversized “metal” pieces with adjustable waistbands. Now all that’s left to wonder is whether his bolt will fit inside your nut…           

            Another “will it fit?” party favorite is our Plug and Socket Couples Costume. This set includes a black and grey socket tunic for her and a white plug costume for him. Both costumes are made of light yet durable fabric. This Halloween duo will have party guests requesting demos all night long.

            Hungry? Too bad, cause our Bacon and Eggs Adult Costume isn’t for dinner. It is, however, for Halloween! This fabulous set includes one bacon tunic and one egg tunic, both in one size fits all. You might have to remind people that you’re not for dinner, but you’ll definitely get them staring!

            You can always make your own couples costume by choosing two individual costumes from Halloween Adventures. Making your own creation can be just as fun!
