With our Original Retro Swing Dress, you are ready to TrekBound into the final frontier! This vintage style dress replicates the four-panel "starburst" seam detailing and raised scoop-neck collar of those iconic mid-century space fashions that captured our hearts!

Featuring 3/4 length sleeves, a gathered swing skirt that delivers the perfect amount of swish, and pockets deep enough to hold all the necessities for an away mission, it's a classically flattering look you can wear to work, on the town, an while boldly going anywhere! Want a little extra VA VA VOOM? Try wearing a petticoat/crinoline underneath! Kit and Victoria wore one when wearing a belt.

This dress is modeled after a classic vintage silhouette with a skirt that hits about mid-calf. We strive to be able to include as many body types as possible in our designs, and this skirt length allows our taller customers to have a dress that's not TOO short. We highly encourage customers to have the skirt length altered if they find it too long for their personal preferences!

Want it shorter? We recommend taking it to your local dry cleaner/alterations place. Or you can also add Custom Alteration at checkout and we can shorten it for you! Please Note: Altered garments are FINAL SALE.

    The perfect TOS dress!

    I wore this dress to Trekconderoga and it was complimented by everyone, including Trek cast members! I was told by many that it was one of the best outfits at the con. It looks perfect, is very comfortable, has POCKETS, and fits right in on the bridge. The fit was exactly as listed in the size chart. I would wear this every day. I paired it with a removable engineering patch, and it made my set tour an amazing one. If you're thinking about getting this but are hesitant to click buy, don't wait! You won't regret it.

    Great quality & style!

    I love this dress! The skirt has maximum twirl & it has pockets!
    My only critique is that it runs a little small - I looked at the sizing chart, but I would have ordered one size up from my normal size, due to the very hourglass cut of the dress. However, the fabric is stretchy, so it works!

    Wear anywhere Starfleet

    I am thrilled with this beautiful Uhura dress. I can’t wait to wear it to a con, but I feel like I could wear it just about anywhere. The fabric is high quality and it drapes so nicely. The fit is flattering yet not too tight, and it has pockets! The original Uhura uniform has always been my favorite but 56 year old me is no longer comfortable in a micro mini dress. I agonized between the medium and the large and I am so glad I went with the large. It’s a perfect fit. For reference I am 5’9”, measurements 37.5-31-39. I immediately ordered another one in gold. May have to get a blue one too for the trifecta.
