Girl #2’s (Phyllis Douglas) Blouse - STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES (1966 - 1969) - THIS WAY TO EDEN


Girl #2’s (Phyllis Douglas) blouse from Gene Roddenberry’s space adventure Star Trek: The Original Series. This black, mustard and crème cotton voile blouse features a dramatic wide neckline, full split sleeves finished with long silken fringe, and a pencil pleated back insert. This ensemble comes from series costume designer William Ware Theiss’ personal collection, having been stored away from the damaging conditions often seen with traditional studio storage. Thereafter, archived by the Comisar Collection, it has been meticulously cared for and stored in a light, climate and humidity controlled fine art warehouse. This costume is in excellent production-used, vintage condition overall indicative of its provenance.

In the episode ‘The Way to Eden’ (320), the USS Enterprise pursues the stolen ship Aurora, eventually destroying it after beaming up its counter-culture occupants. Due to production budget constraints, ‘doubles’ (duplicates) of episode-specific costumes were seldom constructed for the series, and most likely this is the only such blouse Girl #2 utilizes in the episode, which she wears as she searches for Eden with her hippie-like counterparts.
