Star Trek Costumes
Today I was very fortunate to receive a Star Trek costume from a friend. This particular friend is very tall and I am short–she had purchased the item when she was younger and had outgrown it. Fortunately for me, I was the right size to fit into this wonderful licensed Star Trek captain’s uniform.
If you’d like to get a Star Trek uniform costume, you’ll have to consider a few things. As always, price is a consideration. Various pre-made costumes are available for less than $50, but the quality is certainly not as great as a well-made item. Also, licensed Star Trek uniform costumes will certainly have the accurate costume details.
Given that some Star Trek uniforms are form fitting, you’ll also want to consider what looks good on your body. Later show uniforms (DS9, Voyager) tend to be much less form-fitting than Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Next Generation uniforms.
I’m just glad the uniform went to a good home where it will be well loved. :)
