Jennifer Parker Back to The Future Costume?

[rubinekso]

Hey, I know there are several resources and info for Marty McFly Back To The Future costumes, but does anyone have any suggestions for where to find pieces for a Jennifer Parker costume? Particularly the last scene of the original film, with those pink (flower printed?) jeans?

Thanks!

you know, the continuity of that shot is pretty good between movies apart from the cars.

sadly i have no idea good luck!

I know this is a "nerco post" but with 2015 only weeks away, has anyone done any more research in to this costume?

This is probably one of the clearest images I have found, but she sitting down and there are things we can't see that would be visible if she was standing. I have collected a heap of HD screen caps but still need more.

My wife has made a start on hers and I think it looks amazing. There are a few details that we can't seem to lock down. Anyone else doing this so we can share ideas?

If I don't hear back on here, I will probably just start a build thread for her.

I discovered that the shoes were vintage grey Reebok Freestyle ^^

Her vest seems to be a Guess one.

I've never seen a Guess jacket like this, so I don't think it might be one, there seems to be a label in front of it, and it's rectangular, I couldn't manage to see it clearly in the movie though :x

EDIT

IT'S A GUESS (joelgoodson was right )

This is the closest vest I could find.

Jennifer's vest doesn't appear to be denim though. Just some sort of cloth.

Yes , it looks to be some sort of polyester and cotton

Which is why my wife is making hers from scratch.

Her jeans are Guess Georges Marciano vintage floral jeans with ankle zips, style #18015 (photos of mine attached) and shoes are vintage Reebok Classic Freestyle high tops, as EmmaInCandyland mentioned above. I did spot a Guess logo on her white shirt too, but this is the most similar one I've ever seen (see image below), which has the right style of pockets but doesn't have the right buttons. Me and Claudia Wells think the watch might have been the 1985 "Dotted Swiss" Swatch Watch LW104 (image below). From what I've heard, the blue vest was made by Guess but not commercially available. I got mine custom-made.

An interesting detail about the Reebok shoes is that, while Elisabeth Shue's pair were grey, Claudia told me hers were white. After doing a side-by-side comparison, I do think Claudia's look lighter than Elisabeth's ones now, although I had previously presumed they were both the grey ones. Here's a photo of my vintage grey pair which are like Elisabeth's ones.

Hope this helps!

Glad to see you here bttfjennifer85
As you can see been looking for 8 years

Yeah I assume the vest was never actually made for the public. I do believe her trainers were a light grey almost baby blue ish, I’ve seen a few passing by before.

Thank you!

Yeah that's one of the best photos to see the colour of the shoes I took some screenshots from the movie too, they're not as good quality as the image you sent but you can see the colour clearly here as well

UPDATE: Her watch is indeed the LW104 1985 Dotted Swiss Swatch Watch

Identified Jennifer's white shirt! It's Guess Georges Marciano style #66310

 

[bttfjennifer85]

And also I forgot to share before that I believe I identified Jennifer's jeans from Part 1! They are Guess Georges Marciano and have the same ankle zips as Claudia's.

Jennifer Parker's vest (but in white)! It's a Georges Marciano for GUESS vest. This white version is style #64869 and cut #3394. Just need to dye it the right colour. I noticed that on Claudia's vest the quilting is going in a different direction to Elisabeth's and also the squares/diamonds seem to be larger and therefore spaced further apart on Claudia's. The quilting on my vest is the same as Claudia's (see comparison photos). Also the "GUESS PRODUCTS" tag should be stitched closer to the edge of the pocket but I've had to temporarily remove it for the dyeing process anyway so changing its location won't be a problem.

Also, I'm going to assume that the style number for Jennifer's blue version of the vest ends with "869". Her white shirt, which I bought recently, comes in different colours but all of the style numbers end with the same last 3 digits. Only the first two numbers are different, depending on the colour of the shirt (see last photo). So assuming that the same thing applies to the vest, the style number of the blue version would be ??869.

Dyed the vest blue!
