Come to think of it, a lot of outstanding costumes are based on a tried-and-true formula: find an interesting historical figure, hit the books, and create a more fashionable version of the clothes they might have worn in real life. For instance, this Adult Sexy Vixen Pirate Costume is the kind of outfit that several notorious ladies might have preferred if they hadn’t been afraid of losing their jobs as pirates.

In fact, two of the most famous female pirates of all time almost missed each other because of silly pirate rules about gender and complicated wardrobe restrictions. The fearsome buccaneer Anne Bonny was only able to band together with Mary Read after discovering that her counterpart had been disguised as a crewman named ‘Mark.’ After that, they caused enough mayhem to make them some of the wealthiest and most wanted women in the Caribbean! Imagine what they could have accomplished if they’d been allowed to show off their feminine side sooner without fearing for life and livelihood!

Well, not everybody finds the history books as inspiring as we do. So it’s our job to make sure that costumes like this make a big impression even without any preface or assigned reading. And this one does! The fantastic black-and-red velvet of the corset-style dress will look great with the hat and boots of your choosing. A belt to keep a pair of flintlock pistols or a well-polished cutlass at the ready will let everyone know that you are deadly serious about your job, and looking great while doing it!
