Historical ResearchYou’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, but we can certainly help you get into character.

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 DetailsIn 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. PlunderIt’s pretty easy to get sucked into the pirate lifestyle—looting, marauding, it’s all engrossing and ultimately, distracting.
