When it comes to our historical costumes for girls, there are some major figures from history that instantly stand out as top choices. These women are so well remembered that your girl will be instantly recognizable when she's dressed up like them! Our most popular choice is our Girl's Amelia Earhart Costume. Researchers are still working on the mystery of her disappearance, but your kiddo can learn a lot about the early era of aviation with this choice. There are plenty of heroic figures of the past for young girls to choose from, too. Our Harriet Tubman Costume would help her learn about the struggles of the Civil War era. And, this costume can also easily be worn as a Susan B. Anthony Costume to help her learn about the women's suffrage movement! Other top choices for girls from various different eras include Cleopatra from ancient Egypt, novelist Jane Austin, and even Rosie the Riveter. We have plenty of girls' costumes that flip the traditional gender roles of history, too, like our Girl's Medieval Warrior Costume and our Girl's Robin Hood Costume. And, obviously, most boys' costumes fit young girls, too, if your little one has her heart set on a memorable male figure from the past.

Little boys have lots of great kid's Historical costumes to choose from. Medieval themes are always a popular choice, and when you combine that with the fun of wearing a pretend armor suit, you've got a costume choice that's hard to beat. That's probably why our kid's knight costumes are always a top seller! Greek and Roman toga costumes make for easy and comfortable historical costumes for boys, and lads who are feeling particularly formidable for Halloween may want to consider donning a Roman Gladiator Costume. Just picture them saying "Are you not entertained?" We have plenty of extra famous historical figures that boys can suit up as to learn more about history, too. Top choices include Teddy Roosevelt, George Washington, and Paul Revere. Being a President or Patriot doesn't sound too bad for some Halloween fun!
