Anyone know where I can order some decent looking Star Trek costumes...preferably TNG!

 

I'm going to a sci-fi party soon and I want to have a pretty impressive costume. I was thinking of going as Data lol

 

Anyone know of any good sites/shops that sell authentic looking costumes? Cheers  :D

They have excellent quality stuff. I've fitted some of their uniforms at a convention once, they look great and are very comfy.

Here's another site that I've been visiting

 

http://www.mpmcostumes.com

 

They do uniforms for Enterprise, The Kirk movies and First Contact.

 

They also sell stuff for: Battlestar Galactica (original), Tomb Raider, Matrix and Star Wars.

 

I plan to be getting a new uniform sometime soon, I wanna get the full first contact uniform (inc. vest).

I have the formal dress uniform jacket from Insurrection onwards, is there anyone who knows where I could get the trousers to match with the gold and red stripes down the side?? or is there anyone that could attach them to a pair of trousers?

 

I'm willing to pay someone to do it :blink:

 

 

Edited to say forgot to put in which uniform

I was thinking of geting the jacket and undershirt combo from FC onwards from warpone soon. Anyone actually have tis uniform or seen it in person?

 

Is it worth the money, quality and accuracy-wise? Does not have to be perfect interms of accuracy, but id like it to look good at conventions.

I am having the same problem. Maybe the site doesn't exist anymore.

 

I am desperate for a good quality TOS red womens uniform. I have the uniform pattern but I wouldn't even attempt to make it myself. :o Can anyone help with a link? I will be eternally grateful. :help:

I realise I am like 9 months late (I only just joined) but.. how did you get on in the end?

 

Was it Kathys skant uniform pattern you bought?

I am currently making a TOS red skant using this pattern. After completing most of the main body and doing a test fit I discovered it was VERY small. I used the size 12 lines from the pattern which says it should fit bust 38" waist 30" hips 40". All I can say is no way!. My wife is size 10 in tops and she said it feels more like a small size 8! The back zipper had no chance of doing up. The sleeves also were so narrow she could not bend her arms without straining the seams.

I read on a Star Trek costume forum the same thing happened to someone else (used size 14 pattern and said it came out more like a size 10). So I think there are some issues with the pattern - not that Kathy drew it wrong but perhaps the printers shrank it smaller than life size for whatever reason.

Sleeve length is also on the short side ..maybe the pattern was based on nurse Chappels early season blue skant.. it's the only one I've seen which has 3/4 sleeves.

Anyway just to warn you...Don't put your trust in the info completely. Maybe do a test 'rough' first using some old material.

The skant which I already made using red velor looks gorgeous but probably would only fit a skinny teenage girl, so I am adding some extra filler panels under the arm and down the sides to give more room.

I notice that the ready made TOS dresses are made out of polyester. I have to say the red velor looks (and feels) SO much nicer. Go for it if you can. :)

 

 

Next time I will use the largest pattern lines and see how that translates into real dress size.

 

Just out of interest.. do you realise there are two main female skant uniform styles used in the show? Kathys pattern copies the one with diagonal panels and invisible back zipper. The other style has vertical panels and an invisible zipper which runs up the side of the front.

 

Trek insignia can be found at the http://www.warp-one.co.uk/ shop

If you want your scant to be very screen accurate you can find the best recommended fabric, and re-pro embroidered gold stripes on the star trek costume site here. (loads of good reference pics too)

http://starfleet1701st.yuku.com/forums/78/...nal-Series.html

 

If you're below lietenant you don't need the gold stripes on sleeves. eg Yeoman doesn't have gold stripes.

So you could just go for the Star fleet Insignia which is available in UK at warp one and still be accurate.

 

Best wishes. Maybe I'll see you at a con sometime. :)

Steev.
