Sizing, fabric, and care
Kids sizing goes by age: Small (4-6), Medium (7-9), Large (10-12), and X-Large (12-14). The Roman emperor and the crusader knight come in all four sizes; the Tudor girl, the Victorian schoolboy, and the Viking start at Medium; the Cleopatra costume runs Small (4-6) to Large (10-12). All six are 100% polyester, apart from accessories such as the crusader's faux leather boot covers. Care is a cold hand wash and an air dry, never the machine.
Frequently asked questions
What are kids historical costumes?
Kids historical costumes are outfits built around a period rather than a character: Ancient Egypt and Rome, the Middle Ages, the Vikings, the Tudors, the Victorians. Each one packs the pieces that make the era recognizable, such as a golden collar or a red robe.
What is a good historical costume for a school history day?
Match the costume to the unit the class is studying. Ancient civilizations point at the Roman emperor or the Egyptian queen, medieval and Viking units at the crusader knight or the Viking, and Tudor or Victorian units at the Tudor girl or the Victorian schoolboy.
Which historical costumes work for Halloween?
All six above. Nobody at the door has to ask what the costume is.
Do you have founding father costumes for kids?
Yes. The Founding Father Boys costume, the Kids Benjamin Franklin Costume, and the Boys George Washington Costume cover colonial America, and they sit elsewhere in the store.
Are kids historical costumes safe?
All of our kids' products are safety tested by accredited labs. Each product page also carries an age note for children under 3.
How do I wash a kids historical costume?
Cold hand wash, then air dry it. Never put it through the machine.
