Olly Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Help, please! A good friend has announced that her 50th birthday party later this year will have a Star Trek theme. I may have watched a couple of episodes in the 1970s - I think that's the sum total of my knowledge! My other friends and I want to support her as she's a good mate and has had a difficult year, but we have no idea of what to wear. Please bear in mind that we don't want to buy costumes, we're looking for something we can concoct at home (I'm handy with a sewing machine) and we are all of an age and shape where a polyester mini-dress is NOT an option! Apart from the crew uniforms, what other characters/themes are there? As one of my friends said rather hopefully "isn't there an episode where they visit a planet inhabited by glamorous women in maxi dresses?" Any suggestions gratefully received.

Space Chick Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 What a great party theme I'm a big Trekkie. In the movie "Star Trek insurrection" there were a species that looked human that wore flowing white clothes. I'll see if I can find a link now!

soapdragon Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 As one of my friends said rather hopefully "isn't there an episode where they visit a planet inhabited by glamorous women in maxi dresses?" I seem to remember that one and will happily back you up on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 The race were called the Ba'ku. I'm struggling to find many picture at the moment! http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Ba'ku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Actually you have quite a lot of choice. maxi dresses (of a sort) as shown here (from Mudd's Women) In the episide "A piece of the Action" they went to a planet which was the same as USA Gangster era, so you could go in spats etc I'm sure I've seen them dressed in togas for one episode, but can't remember which one. If all else fails, pick a series (Original, Next Gen, etc) and then concentrate on doing your hair in an approprate style. The original series gives you oads of choice for styles for both long and short hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 I knew the forum would come to my rescue! Thanks Spacechick and WitchHazel - some great ideas. I may need a signed statement from soapdragon about that 'missing' episode! Please keep the ideas coming, the 'hairstyle' one is particularly good. And I love those sparkly dresses ...

Leeloo Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I remember in the first season of TNG, Deanna Troi wore tight maxi dresses or outfits with palazzo type pants- and lots of cleavage, of course! Gene Roddenberry wanted her to be something of a sex symbol on the show. After he died, they put her in a regular uniform. Her mother, Lwaxana, always wore shiny, gaudy-colored, but conservative, flowing gowns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosey Lucy Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 How about going as Seven of Nine'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
