Pic of the Skant being worn.
Edit:
So I didn't really get any help from anyone on the Trekkie forums and it seems like no one here really worked with the patterns or made this skant so I just sort of struggled through and actually found out that it wasn't quite as difficult as I thought it was going to be. I'm basically finished but I need to put the trim around the neck and then later (after the bike ride) I will hem the sleeves and bottom of the skirt. For now at least he has something to wear lol! And yes I know the red is incorrect but unfortunately there wasn't much of an option for colors in sport jersey that was breathable and wicked away moisture. That and since this is a "red dress" day I thought it would fit better to have a true red that most are familiar with and not wine or burgundy.

Ok so I've got about 2 days when my fabric finally arrives to make 2 Uhura dresses and 1 TNG Male/Unisex Skant. This is for my fiance and his friends who are participating in a ride called the AIDSLifecycle. It's where they cycle from San Francisco to Santa Monica in 7 days. Well one of those days is "Red Dress" day where every bicycler wears a red dress.
So I bought these patterns from Roddenberry.com and I have yet to check out the Uhura pattern but the Unisex Skant pattern is...........confusing?? Overall I get the pattern but the instructions are literally non existent and there are pattern pieces that just have no instructions whatsoever...not even cut 1 or 2 of these.
Has anyone used this pattern?? Does anyone know the basic sizing of the patterns? It just says size 6,8,10 and 12 but no mention of generic measurements for chest or waist. Normally I would mock this stuff up or futz around with it but I really just don't have the time. And I tried looking around on here for info on it and maybe I'm just not seeing it or maybe the info is burried in a thread that relates to a different topic but I also just really don't have time to take 2 days and read every post on every thread with the mention of TNG or even Skant in it.
If anyone could help....ugh.....that would be amazing!
