Star Trek: Phase II Command Dress

Presented below are some detailed photos of a very rare TOS-style Command Dress that was constructed for the ill-fated Star Trek: Phase II television series project (Paramount, 1977); an endeavor initially intended as a follow up to Star Trek: The Original Series that ultimately transitioned into the highly anticipated Star Trek: The Motion Picture feature film of 1979. This beautiful piece of Star Trek history sold at auction earlier today on ebay for an impressive final bid of $6668. The following pictures show the major construction details of this costume, which is in pristine overall condition and features a TOS 3rd season patch and braid. It is clearly identifiable as Phase II due to the use of an olive green double knit square weave fabric for its main body (as opposed to the diamond weave fabric used in TOS 3rd season costumes) and the presence of a Conceal brand zipper with plastic teeth (as opposed to the UNIQUE brand zipper with metal teeth used on all seasons of TOS Starfleet regular duty uniforms). A Phase II Nurse Chapel dress, which possesses identical zipper hardware and square weave fabric, was the focus of an earlier photostudy on this website that may be seen at the following link: http://www.startrekpropauthority.com/2008/06/some-photos-of-star-trek-phase-ii-nurse.html

Many thanks to long time Star Trek fan and collector Alec Peters, the CEO of Propworx, for his gracious permission to display numerous photos of this beautiful costume that he shot on a trip to inspect it in person.
