Oh gosh, I wish I had one. I got my mom to make me a star trek uniform for halloween when I was like 8. She is a brilliant seamstress, so I got a red shirt that matched TNG, and she got me a communicator badge button I still have somewhere. Put that on for school because I think halloween was a Friday that year. I was the only Trekkie at school that year. I’m going to pretend I didn’t get teased much. I think we still have that shirt at the bottom of the costume bin even though I’ll never fit into it again.
I had a Star Trek costume as a kid as well! This would have been a couple years after Enterprise ended, so the middle of the Star Trek drought. Only one person recognized it, but I thought it was awesome. My mom and I made a whole Borg suit, with all kinds of weird tech things from the early 2000s. The best parts were the left hand, which was a glove that played drum sounds when you tapped the fingers, and was all silver plastic and wires, and a mechanical head massager for the head piece, also silver plastic, that we connected to the body with vinyl tubing
Maybe that shirt is reserved for The Next Generation lol? I had a similar story with my mom helping me to look like a certain rock star no one recognized, but the real bummer is I don’t even have photoes left from that time, so you are luckier than me.

I dressed up as Data one year in high school and not many people got it but the ones who did liked it!
That’s sweet.

You went all in while making this one. It’d be cool if you’d feel comfortable to post a photo of it somewhen.
