Inara’s Firefly ‘Shindig’ Dress
When I think of fabulous costuming (especially in a professional sense), my 
mind always comes back to the elegant yet stunning dress worn by Inara in the brilliant but short-lived Firefly series. The garment, which is comparatively understated for the fictional ball to which it is worn, is a golden-ivory gown.
The dress was constructed and fitted for Morena Baccarin, who portrayed Inara Serra in the series. It was made partially from costume designer Shawna Trpcic’s wedding gown.
Several Browncoats (Firefly fans) have created their own versions of Inara’s gown. One of them was even able to solicit advice from Trpcic. Here are some of the best examples. These talented seamstresses were kind enough to share their stories on how they made the dresses:
For those interested in owning the original piece (pictured above), you can bid to own Inara’s ball gown. Bidding starts at $2,500.00. If you can afford it–bid. If not, just keep flyin’ like the rest of us!
So much want!! I feel like Kaylee when ever I see Inara’s costumes LOL
