Need HELP identifying sci-fi film & television costumes!

Hi everyone...we need help identifying some screen-used science fiction film and television wardrobe. If anyone on the boards can help us out with the names of any of these costumes it would be much appreciated!!! We are doing inventory of our costumes (many, many costumes), and have identified most of them...right now this is a portion of what we have that we haven't yet. All of these have wardrobe tags that state they were "used in various vintage sci-fi film and TV shows" and are marked as being from studio archives. We have already gone through them for identifying marks and names written in them-no luck on anything yet in this group. The silver dress with beads we were told was from 'Star Trek' but they didn't know what series, we were also told it might be from the Logan's Run tv series (however it is not as we have already identified the Logan's Run costumes. The white robe and belt is made of paper if that helps. The 'blue' jumpsuit' with the black trim is actually quite purple and has a slight bell bottom with a Jackie Eid tag. The gold one jump suit with collar has a bell bottom as well.*Hint* They may be from any of the following studio's films- MGM, Sony, Tristar, Columbia. Thanks in advance.

***NONE OF THEM ARE FOR SALE. THESE ARE GOING INTO A MUSEUM EXHIBIT. PLEASE DON'T ASK WHAT MUSEUM OR WHERE WILL IT BE LOCATED AT, AS WE CANNOT GO INTO ANY DETAILS UNTIL JUST BEFORE THE EXHIBIT OPENS FOR LEGAL AND SECURITY REASONS. SORRY.


****UPDATED**** Thank you all for your advice and input on the costumes, we have removed the pictures now for security reasons and the many messages sent to us about the museum.

Here is more picture including the silver dress with beads (1st two pics). The gray jump suit with the black collar and red w/ white stripe cuffs actually may be from Logan's Run but we included it anyways to make sure. Thanks again everyone...

The only one that may be from Buck Rogers is the blue satin one with collar and stirups (Dr. Huer). We do have a very iconic Buck Rogers costume that is going on display, so good guess. Thanks for at least throwing something out there!
 
The red jumpsuit has a name tag with the name Carmichael, does that ring any bells for anyone?

Some of them look familiar, I know I've seen 'em but I just can't say where :confused

And when you say Logan's Run, do you mean the movie or the series? The series would be much more obscure than the movie.

And for some reason this made me think of The Fantastic Journey, there was a lot of metallic type costumes in that one.

The jump suit is actually orange and has a hood with a small mesh face on it as if something else goes over it but we are not sure. Thanks for the suggestion on Fantastic Journey, maybe an extra wore one of them, will watch the entire series now.
 
Hey guess what? I found one of the belts from a costume on a Fantastic Journey costume! Thanks for the suggestion. Keep 'em coming everyone...

The item you have labeled as '40' looks like a fencing tunic or vest (or what-the-hell-ever), for whatever that's worth.
 
Here is another one we need identified. The symbol on the chest is a huge clue, but we haven't had luck with it yet...thanks everyone!

We have identified the purple costume with the 'acorns' on it now so no need to try to find that. It was from...Logan's Run, the episode titled TURNABOUT (never aired on the West Coast) and is one of the guards vests they would wear with a burnoose, long sleeve shirt, and belt. Thanks again everyone.

Clueless on that one.

But the Starship Troopers Tunic and Battlestar Galactica Command Duty Blues are fakes, you should send them to me....

LOL......LOL.....LOL......ROTF.....No really thanks for the comment we were rolling. (joking)

The Starship Troopers tunic is actually Michael Ironside's hero jacket, the BSG duty blues are one of the Admiral Adama hero costume, and the 'Buck Rogers' costume is the hero Erin Gray blue spandex we all know and love! What you missed is the little flash of red in between them is a absolutely beautiful 'Queen of Outer Space' costume. Have a good one!

*** AGAIN TO EVERYONE WHO HAS PMED/E-MAILED/MESSAGED US, NONE OF THE ITEMS ARE FOR SALE, THE REASON WE ARE SHOWING PICTURES IS TO TRY TO IDENTIFY THE COSTUMES FOR AN UPCOMING EXHIBIT.

This one is an electric foil fencing vest- You wear it over your fencing jacket to so that only hits to valid target area trigger the scoring box...
 
yep and the fabric for that vest is Tyvek, amazing paper fabric that is very very strong.

I look at some of these costumes and they do spark some memory of a show i used to watch, but i cant put my finger on which one!..ill keep looking back though.
 
Thank you both of you for trying to help! We are sci-fi experts and can't figure it out, but then again...we had a lot of other costumes that we thought the same thing about and have now identified those. Since we stuck these pictures up we have now figured out three items, two from Logan's Run and one from Fantastic Journey (thanks to a forum members suggestion!) and have the feeling that some we will just 'run' into or it will just come to us. We have a few more costume pics to put up soon. Thanks again to everyone who responded and tried to help us.
 
Looking at some of these they could be from Planet Earth/Genesis 2. I am going through my archieves and seeing if I can match anyo of them up.
 
A couple of them - you'll need to look into it - but they may be from Mork and Mindy - in the last season Mork went to Ork a few times and ran across other aliens. course, most of the Mork and Mindy stuff was recycled from other shows - including Star Trek
