How to choose your historical costume
Vintage, period, and old-fashioned all point at this same shelf, so start with the era rather than the word. All three picks here currently ship in one size only, so check the exact measurement or age range on each product page before you order rather than assuming a range. These are multi-piece outfits, a jacket over a vest, a gown under a headpiece, so a measurement that runs short shows up in more than one place. Every costume goes through over 30 measurement checks.
Frequently asked questions
What are historical costumes?
Historical costumes recreate the dress of a past era, such as ancient Rome, the Tudor period, or colonial-era America. If you have seen a costume called vintage, period, or old-fashioned, it is describing the same idea.
What eras of historical costume do you have?
Three: Roman, Tudor, and colonial soldier styles, each shown above with its own size and included accessories.
Are historical costumes only for Halloween?
No. School history topics and stage productions run through the school year, and the redcoat and gladiator picks here suit those dates as well as late October.
What sizes do historical costumes come in?
Right now, one size each. The Roman gladiator costume is Standard (41-44in chest), the Tudor Queen costume is XL (US 16-18), and the kids' redcoat costume is Small (ages 4-6). Check the product page for the current size before you order.
Can kids wear a historical costume too?
Yes: the Kids Redcoat Soldier Costume, currently in one size for ages 4-6. The other two picks here are adult sizing.
