Star Trek Costumes - Go Where No Costume Has Gone Before
If your child’s been invited to a costume party with a Star Trek theme, there are interesting ideas and even great ready-made Star Trek costumes you may find through a quick on line browse.
If you have a tall son, he can dress up in a Mr. Spock shirt with embroidered insignia. The proper eye make-up and wig, with special accessories like Spock’s trademark ears and a pistol can be great finishing touches.
You can let your kid’s friends in on the plan to create some excitement about arriving at the party as the entire crew of the star ship Enterprise. Arriving all together will certainly produce some startled expressions from the other party attendees.
Homemade Star Trek costumes are a possibility for the rest of the children, especially if you already have a costume to draw inspiration from.
For the boys, you could go with a long sleeve V-neck shirt and slim-fitting pants or even an undersized single color jumpsuit with black turtleneck. The male uniform costumes from Star Trek are usually created from a single color long sleeve top and dark or black trousers.
So as long as the long sleeve shirt is a single color, it should look just like a Star Fleet uniform with a simple communicator badge on the chest.
On the girls’ side of things, try a V-neck one color mini-dress and a black mock turtle-neck underneath.Then you can just sew on a simple patch of fabric in the shape and color of a Star Trek costume communicator badge. Complete the outfit using some black boots and black stockings.
If you don’t necessarily have the extra time on your hands to fashion homemade outfits, then check out the newest selections of Star Trek costumes from online retailers that make great Halloween or birthday costume party wear.
Either way your children will most certainly have a great time wearing quality and comfortable outfits.
