Preliminary Notes
Welcome to the OCD costume analysis for the TMP “Class D” jumpsuits!
I primarily researched and studied this uniform for my Tailors Gone Wild Movie-era jumpsuit sewing patterns, which as you’ll see, I drafted to be as faithful to the original costumes as possible.
Both the men’s and women’s movie-era jumpsuit patterns include the TMP “class D” jumpsuits, as well as their successors, the TWOK-era enlisted jumpsuits.
Acknowledgments
I want to thank CBS for the beautifully-remastered Star Trek: The Motion Picture Director’s Edition Blu-Ray (and of course, its 4k counterpart) – for our purposes here, giving us a wonderful look at the costumes in remastered HD.
I also want to thank TrekCore for their abundant visual references, especially their libraries of HD screencaps and publicity photos.
Very special thanks to Ray Minarcik for the opportunity to study a screen-used TWOK enlisted jumpsuit, which was instrumental in my analysis of their TMP predecessors.
I’d also like to thank Jakub Holý for sharing some reference photos of his screen-used TMP jumpsuit, and Frank Skony for his general input and support throughout my research.
I want to especially thank my Ko-Fi supporters for helping me be able to produce sewing/costuming resources like this analysis, and share them online for everyone interested in Star Trek costumes.
If you enjoy this sewing tutorial, please support my costume research on Ko-Fi. 🙂
