Over forty years have passed since the television series that changed the world first aired. Star Trek (now coined “The Original Series”) launched a world of imagination and a legion of fans that changed the way science fiction was forever viewed. Today, fans have something new to look forward to...

Continuing ANOVOS's Star Trek TOS high quality line of dresses, ANOVOS is pleased to present Lieutenant Uhura's Red Services Division Uniform Dress from Season 3 of the Original Series.

This dress comes in two different styles: the Uhura style, featuring the same Lieutenant rank braid and Services Division patch worn by Uhura in the Original Series; and the Ensign edition (with the separate braid pack for rank customization). Both styles of the Red Services Division Dress are available for pre-order from now until April 15, 2012 at 11:59 PM Pacific Time.

Featuring the exact double-knit fabric from the original uniforms, and fabric dyed to match screen-used fabric samples, this dress is lovingly crafted as a tribute to the Original Series. Own a piece of retro nostalgia with this exclusive replica.

Priced at $339.95 USD (Ensign Style with Braid Add-On Pack) / $339.95 (Lieutenant Uhura Style)

ANOVOS took great care in constructing this dress uniform. By carefully assembling the original pattern, repeating the dye process multiple times to get the perfect match, and producing several prototypes, we re-created this outfit down to the last detail. Relive the nostalgia of the Original Series with this iconic ensemble.

Don’t miss this chance to own the Original Series’ tri-cut dress uniform in the famous, eye-catching red that Uhura wore.

THE PROCESS:

Manufacturing:

• Proudly fabricated, constructed and Made in the USA.
• Dress constructed using original patterns from CBS archive, as well as a screen-used red uniform from the Original Series.
• Fabric dyed to match screen-used swatches from Original Series.
• Manufactured by production team that worked on Star Trek XI.

The Material:

• Fabric type matched from screen-used samples for exact authenticity.
• Tri-cut pattern on both front and back of dress.
• Invisible zipper at neckline.
• Adjustable hemline.
• Long sleeves with lieutenant's single braid for the Lieutenant Uhura Style, or long sleeves without braiding for the Ensign Style.

In order to help our customers understand sizes, we've put together this set of instructions. Please feel free to print these out (click here for the printer friendly version), so when you do go to get measured you can use it as a guide.

IMPORTANT: Please refer to this sizing and measurement guide. This will provide the information needed how to properly measure yourself (if you haven’t been measured already) to select a size. Buyer assumes full responsibility of sizes submitted for order. Upon submission of the order, the Buyer absolves ANOVOS of responsibility for incorrect measurements submitted and reserves the right for any exchanges to be made at the complete discretion of ANOVOS.

Please have your measurements taken properly by a professional tailor if possible. This will not only help in the selection of the size you will need to purchase, but also aid in additional tailoring where needed.

PLEASE NOTE: Sizes taken directly from commercial clothing should never be used as substitution of physical measurements. In addition, the sizing for the tunics run on the smaller side, so if you're on the "edge" between two sizes, it's best to probably go up a size.

The purchase of tunics and dresses will require additional tailoring similar to purchasing a men's suit or women's dress at a major department store. The lengths of tunic or dress sleeves can be adjusted as there are a few extra inches of material at the cuff. This will require repositioning of the rank braid as well, where applicable. Tunic and dress hems can be adjusted, as these also have extra material for most taller persons. A professional tailor, or someone with professional tailoring experience, should be able to make these alterations.

How to Measure

Some of the basics in measuring:

1. Keep the tape firm but not tight.
2. Make sure the tape is level around the area you are measuring.
3. Take measurements in inches to determine correct sizing.
4. Round up all measurements to the nearest inch. (Example: 10.5 inches round up to 11 inches.)

How to measure specific areas for fitting:

1. Arm Length: With your arm relaxed at side and slightly bent, measure from the center back of the neck, over point of shoulder, down the outside of the wrist.
2. Neck: Measure around the adams apple of the the neck.
3. Chest: Measure across the widest part of the chest or across the nipples.
4. Waist: Measure from the navel point around the thinner area of the belly.
5. Hips: Measure the widest part of the Gluteus Maximus.
