Last Saturday was the 1940s PEERS Ball, and my “crew” and I wore our 1940s Star Trek mashup outfits! (From left to right: Riker, Data, Troi, Red Shirt, Dixon Hill, Wesley, Dr. Crusher, and Geordi).
I was very worried that I couldn’t get the hair right, but with some tips from friends, a lot of foam curlers, and the magic setting lotion Lottabody I felt fabulous!
My hair was so fluffy you can’t see the vintage Bakelite dome earrings I’m wearing. They are mustard-colored and match the ring.
Here we are all so serious! 
I had enough leftover fabric to give to Breanna so we could match! Her use of silver netting for Geordi’s visor was so clever!
Dr. Crusher made a dress and a coat!
Although Wesley was not so impressed by Mom.
Troi and sexy Riker got a little frisky!
Riker had to do the signature weird chair leaping!
And every away mission needs a Red Shirt!
All the ladies in our group made their own dresses from vintage or altered patterns. We had a wonderful time and I definitely want to wear my outfit again to Costume College!

OMG! You really nailed it! Absolutely love the pictures — and I could tell everyone who was in ‘uniform” which character they were. And LOL at the classic ‘Riker-pose’ attempt.
Thank you Cindy! We had a great time, and I’m glad it shows in the pictures. Kelsey, our Riker, is a riot!
These outfits and idea are fabulous and I love everything about them!!
Thank you! The outfits were so fun to make and wear!
Ok!! Seriously? This is brilliant! You look smashing! Your hair is WOW and your dress? Fabulous! What a fun project…now I have decide if I want to do your vintage Star Trek, or the Victorian Star Trek….decisions, decisions! This totally made my night. Everyone is just beyond epic!!
Blessings!

Thank you! I just wore mine again this weekend at a convention and am still in love with this outfit.
