Re: TOS Trek Dress

Hey!!! Star Trek didn't issue out black jeans with that uniform. That does not conform to the Starfleet Uniform Code, Starfleet Order 45.623(125a)-90, Subsection 34-98(b) All Starfleet women will wear matching color bloomers with Starfleet issued uniform.

Other than that great skills in making said uniform!

Re: TOS Trek Dress

I wish I could talk my wife into wearing a TOS mini-skirt (I get no cooperation whatsoever toward my geek like endeavors) :lol. I think she is hoping that I will hit my head one day and forget I like props and sci-fi.
That looks GREAT!!!
Is there anything TOS you can not pull off? I think I have seen

• Phaser
• Communicator
• Tricorder
• Scotty trident tool thing
• Assorted alien weapons
• Captains Chair
• Transporter Console (no?)
• Spocks station
• Now tunics

I am sure I am missing a bunch of things.

Re: TOS Trek Dress

Cool stuff! I've been watching Star Trek TOS on iTunes over the past few weeks and have fallen in love (again) with the old uniforms. That looks fantastic for your first attempt at sewing, especially considering the odd shape of the pieces.

Might I ask where you got the rank stripping? Is it a specialty item or something I can just order online?

Are you planning on making this a medical personnel dress with the blue collar?

no Tony it will be a science version with a black collar!!
I just like the contrast of the black collar better!

Re: TOS Trek Dress

Reason I ask, was because of the seams. It has the same seams that meet at the badge like Nurse Chapel's dress. If I am not mistake the regular officer felmale dresses had the seams run from the shoulders down - like the men's shirt seams.

It looks pretty close to me. For comparison, here's a pic of Uhura's costume from the touring Star Trek exhibit from a couple of years back.

Re: TOS Trek Dress

Is that supposed to be from Season 3?

Are you referring to the picture I posted? If so, I have no idea, I don't recall if it specified what season it was from or not.

Re: TOS Trek Dress

Yeah that particular uniform was seen from season 2 onwards, iirc.
