Hi there all....so many of you might know my love for vintage knows no bounds, but many of you might not be aware that I am a huge nerd! I love comic books, superheroes, Sci-fi, Fantasy....etc. One of my greatest loves is Star Trek; so what better way to combine two things I love than by making the vintage 1960's Scant Dress from the original series?

| The "scant" dress in all its glory on Lt. Nyota Uhura. This is right in line with the 60's style of being super short, almost tunic like in style. |

| A close up reveals intricate seaming, as well as letting us get a good look at her insignia patch (over the heart) and rank braids( at the wrist). So after much research and finding the right braids (amazon) and pattern and fabric I began my process....The pattern I was using, and for the life of me I can't find a link to it, was the original pattern. The pieces were not intuitively put together, so figuring it out was kinda crazy. Also, I didn't want to cut my original pattern so I traced it out onto paper first. In the end though, it turned out amazing and I really love it. I made one for my PLM (platonic life mate) Lenore; who of course is my Vulcan first officer. |

| Possibly my favorite shot of this outfit! Taken by a friend of mine at HeroesCon 2016 in Charlotte. I wanted to include a shot from the original series which shows and ensign in the gold scant dress. Here Captain Kirk shows his great 23rd Century attitude when someone questions having a woman on board, in the crew. |
