I do not make media re-creations for sale. If you want a Star Trek uniform, Superman costume, or Queen Amidala's court gown, you will do better to go through the media company's authorized vendor. These companies will have access to the special materials needed for these costumes. I will not deliberately jump someone else's copyright, patent, or trademark.
An internet craftsman is no substitute for a good library. I can make suggestions, but you should expect to do your own research on historical clothing.
