Abolishing slavery may have been the main concern of politicians during the Civil War period, but our adult Civil War costumes are more about reviving the romanticism of the period, when dresses were full, women carried parasols and wore big hats, and men were gentlemen no matter which side of the war they fought for. You can take an active part in Civil War days, celebrated every September, with your adult Civil War costume, and then wear your adult Civil War costume again the next month for trick or treating with the kids. Reenact the Battle of Bull Run or the Battle of Gettysburg with our union and confederate adult Civil War costumes, or battle for the love of a Scarlet O'Hara as Rhett Butler or Ashley Wilkes from Gone with the Wind. Ladies can help their heroes recover from battle in one of our gorgeous Southern Belle adult Civil War costumes that whisk you back to a more romantic time.
