Say one of your children has been invited to a costume party with a Star Trek theme and you have no idea where to get an appropriate outfit. Never fear! There are plenty of creative ways to get ideas, especially with a quick Internet search.
For instance, it's easy to imagine a tall or lanky child to dress as Spock by donning a blue shirt with the embroidered insignia. You can finish off the costume Spock's trademark ears, a toy pistol, and the proper wig and eye makeup.
Homemade Star Trek costumes are a possibility for the rest of the children, especially if you already have a costume to draw inspiration from.
You could use a single color V-neck long sleeve shirt, coupled with slim black trousers, as the basis for boys outfits. You will notice that the men on Star Trek almost always wear tight-fitting pants and long sleeve shirts for uniforms.
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.
Regardless of where you get them, you and your children will definitely have fun showing off their high quality Star Fleet ensembles.
