Costumes from History

We’re all about having a good time on Halloween, and for most folks that’s a big costume party where everyone gets together to have a memorable night. While most of our costume products are made with fun in mind, that’s not our only pursuit. We aim to cover every costume experience with the widest selection of costumes on the web, and that includes historical costumes. Be it for re-enactments, plays, or just for raising awareness about the important events of history, a historical figure costume can help you do a lot of good by bringing history to life. When it comes to American history and the Civil Rights movement, there are few figures more important than Rosa Parks. We won’t try and retell the entire story here (we couldnt do it justice!) but if you don’t know the details of how her refusal to give up her bus seat sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott, it’s worth your time to read and understand how and why that happened. If youre looking to tell her story in a brand new way, be it for school or a play, we know this Rosa Parks costume will do just that.

Design & Details

This detailed Rosa Parks Costume is Made By Us, which means it was designed by our own team in-house. The costume is inspired by the outfit she was wearing in one of her most memorable images, an undated photo of her riding the Montgomery Area Transit System bus. The costume is styled to look like a brown overcoat over a plaid dress, but it’s actually just a one-piece combo to make for an easy costume experience. It also comes with a brown pillbox hat to complete the look.
