Star Trek - The Motion Picture (1979) Prototype Dress Uniform

Originally purchased from Profiles as an unused tunic from the ill-fated "Star Trek - Phase II" series, thanks to David McLaughlin, specialist in TMP costumes, it was now identified as being a prototype for the dress uniform for "Star Trek - The Motion Picture". It was designed by Robert Fletcher, who took over for the film series from William Theiss. [PiH]

The Last Starfighter (1984) Rylan Female Technician Complete Costume

"He didn't find his dreams... his dreams found him."

 

This is a complete Female Rylan Technician Costume worn in the 1984 sci-fi classic The Last Starfighter. Costumes such as this one can be seen in the film as Alex Rogan (Lance Guest) is brought to the Starfighter base and begins to realize his destiny: save the galaxy from invasion.

Designed by Robert Fletcher, who also designed the costumes for the Star Trek films, the jumpsuit is made of a thick off-white fabric, contains a gray stripe across the chest that runs down to the right elbow, has a white zipper closure in front that runs to the lower torso, and includes two collar pins, two additional pins on the right breast, and wooden gauges with carved buttons painted silver on the two cuffs.

Also included here are two off-white leg spats with full-length zippers and velcro enclosures at the top, as well as a Starfighter crew hat with the Starfighter logo and raised rib detailing. This costume contains photos for verification, a detailed description of the contents, and has some light brown staining throughout but remains in fair condition. [PSoL]

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984) Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986) Vulcan Priest costume

Despite triumphing over the evil Khan, Admiral Kirk's victory is a hollow one -- McCoy (DeForest Kelley) is going insane, and Spock (Leonard Nimoy) is dead. Or is he? Kirk (William Shatner) jeopardizes his career by commandeering the U.S.S. Enterprise for a mission to the Genesis Planet. If he and his aging crew can defeat a deadly crew of Klingons, they may just be able to rescue their absent friend.

Costume design by Robert Fletcher.

This costume was custom made for the production and worn by an extra. The costume consists of a long-sleeved, full-length, blue-gray robe with a raised collar and loose, pleated, sleeves; an over the shoulder, black, silk-like sash featuring a beautiful copper-colored dragon motif. A wide, reflective gold stripe over the shoulder, a smaller red stripe on the left, and red faux jewel featuring a Vulcan iconographic symbol in the center. Included is a rust-colored, Vulcan-style hat featuring accent trim in metallic-gold and brown stripe or ‘brick’ pattern, chinstrap, second accent strap that drapes across the chest and red faux jewel with similar symbol. A sewn in Paramount tag reads "7-4" and a label reading "Evens Riccardi" is almost covering the tag. This costume may have also been reused in various Trek television shows. [SU]

The hat can also be seen in the early scenes on Vulcan of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home  (1986), where some priests are working in the background, with costumes similar (probably reused) to those from Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.

In one scene, the costume seems to be complete, as can be seen in the screen capture below.

In the next scenes, however, this seems to be part of two costumes, instead of one. In the movie, male pristes use the embroidered sash and the red hat, whereas the female priests use a white costume. Based on the collar, it seems that this from a female priest garment.

Male priest. As you can see, a dark red and gold sash, with red hat.

Female priest. White dress with the very distinctive collar.

And this is the scene in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.

Star Trek - The Motion Picture (1979) Starfleet Class-A Brown Uniform

In STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE, the original crew of the Starship Enterprise from the 1960s TV show is reunited in this dramatic, full-length science fiction epic. Admiral James T. Kirk (William Shatner), formerly a captain, is called upon to collect his old crewmates in order to save humanity from a giant, hostile alien vessel steadily approaching Earth and destroying everything in its path. The complex alien life-forms apparently possess such an advanced intelligence that even the brilliant Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) fails to comprehend the massive structure that contains them. There is tension on the ship, as well as in the universe, as Commander Willard Decker (Stephen Collins), the Enterprise's new captain, is relegated to being Kirk's assistant. In addition, Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy (DeForest Kelley), the lovable, crotchety doctor who is constantly at odds with Spock, must be tricked away from his life of relaxation to serve on a voyage he wants no part of. Its not long before the Enterprise is taken over by the alien entity, and navigator Ilia (Persis Khambatta) is abducted. When she is returned to the Enterprise, she informs Kirk that unless the entity is united with its creator, it will destroy the Earth. With excellent special effects and witty nods to the old series, STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE set a new standard in sci-fi films--and paved the way for a host of excellent sequels.

A similar costume, here in the "jumpsuit" version.
