Based on Uhura’ s costume in the 2009 Star Trek movie:
1. Start with an overized t-shirt
2. While wearing the shirt, use a marker to mark where you’ll need to sew on each side of the t-shirt to make it very form fitting. Once you’ve taken it off, put pins on your marks and sew the new seams.
3. Cut the sleeves shorter and hem them if necessary.
4. Cut the neck into a v-neck.
5. Get a black shirt to wear underneath your dress with a fairly high neck line (you can probably find a cheap one at your local thrift store).
6. You can draw a com badge on a piece of stiff, but fairly thin cardboard. Then paint and cut out the badge and hot glue it to a safety pin (that’s not what I used for this particular one, though. I found a button at the craft store that was the perfect shape and painted it to be the correct color and design).
7. The finished product!
