Star Trek TOS Skant Uniform - Science Officer (Blue)

This was a VERY frustrating costume... I had to make this stupid thing THREE TIMES before I got it how I liked it. I must say, I loved the results but I absolutely HATED the fabric! well, cutting the fabric. Sewing the fabric was a dream! *sigh* Can't win em all... Anyways, this is SUPER FUN and I got a lot of compliments on it! Plus I like how it flows. @_@

 Lt. Uhura - Showing how insanely short the dress was! I added 3" to the bottom for modesty

 The sad 1st attempt - Right color, WRONG fabric - this did not stretch AT ALL and was sadly a disappointment

 The third attempt - FRONT - Correct fabric, wrong color. I had to dye 4 yards of this fabric on my front porch. The color turned out beautifully!

 Third attempt - back view before sewing the last seam together. I decided not to add the zipper because the fabric is stretchy enough! w00t!

The science patch! Yes!

 Das boots! I love these boots, but they do not love my feet. I need insoles in them for sure!

 Waiting to be hemmed and have the braids added... :D

 The completed back!
