Avast me hearties--that means "listen up" to you landlubbers! Cap'n says it’s bad luck to have a wench on the ship...but Cap'n isn’t here right now, is he? So hop aboard (and why not take over command, while you’re at it?) If any of these scurvy dogs try to tell on you we'll make sure them’s walking the plank, ourselves. See here, pirates like the... moreir sails full (and their egos fuller) and their grog cold (and their hearts colder). But did you know that pirates also like their clothes to be eye catching, and their costumes even more so? You didn’t? Well, this Pirate Wench Costume has a-plenty of fine details to make you feel like queen of the high seas (and put the rest of those salty dogs in their places). Yo-ho-ho--there's even a scarf to tie back ye locks and look even more like a pirate of yore. So, keep a weathered eye for snitches. The laced corset has a very pirate-y skull and roses design and the off-the-shoulder dress with cinched sleeves is perfect for when a lass needs to raise a mighty sword against a raiding party. The skirt can be worn down for windy days on the docks or cinched up high to pillage another vessel and relieve it of its gold and treasures. Climb to that thar crow's nest and keep a lookout! We don't want no mutiny up in here. But if we hear of even one of them bilge rats even thinks of tellin’ the Cap’n that there’s a pirate wench on board (even if she looks like she could best them all at the ropes without so much as a hornswaggle) they’ll be swimming in Davy Jones’ locker before they can say “Argh!”

Historical Research You’re researching women of 18th century Caribbean colonies. That’s a pretty niche topic for your PhD, but hey, more power to you. Obviously, in order to do the best kind of research, you really need to immerse yourself in the subject as much as possible. We’re not sure how many actual pirate ships still exist in the Caribbean,... morebut we can certainly help you get into character. Just get yourself into this Pirate Wench Costume and start taking notes. We do know that it’s considered “bad luck” for a woman to board a pirate ship, but being told you can’t do something has never stopped you before. In this great outfit, you can feel emboldened to experience firsthand what the women of that time faced—so make your way aboard that ship, into that pirate den, find your way to the captain’s quarters and ask the questions you want to ask. This is your research, your work, you’re not going to let anything stop you. Fun Details In classic pirate-age styling, this costume features an off-the-shoulder dress, complete with a burgundy and black ruffled skirt. The included corset is patterned with skulls and roses and tied with a burgundy ribbon, an essential piece for any pirate look. For a touch of detail, decorative buckles hang from the corset. Finally, the look is completed with a burgundy- and black-striped headpiece—because no seafaring pirate or would be caught dead without something tied around their head. Just make sure not to get wrapped up in how great this outfit makes you feel that you forget what you’re there for: firsthand research (and a bit of adventure never hurt anyone either!) Dr. Plunder It’s pretty easy to get sucked into the pirate lifestyle—looting, marauding, it’s all engrossing and ultimately, distracting. Make sure you keep your head in your research. You are there, after all, to complete your work. The best researchers go all in, and in this outfit, you’ll blend in with pirates so well, you might forget that you’re not one. Let us know what you find out when you’re done with all that pillaging.
