00:00:10.681 --> 00:00:12.725
<v ->So this is Kai Opaka's costume</v>

2
00:00:12.725 --> 00:00:13.798
from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

3
00:00:13.798 --> 00:00:14.966
<v ->Who are you?</v>

4
00:00:15.842 --> 00:00:16.843
<v ->Kai Opaka.</v>

5
00:00:17.844 --> 00:00:19.429
<v ->Who are you?</v>

6
00:00:19.429 --> 00:00:21.473
<v ->Don't you know me?</v>
<v ->Know you?</v>

7
00:00:22.390 --> 00:00:25.810
How can I know someone
who doesn't know himself?

8
00:00:27.187 --> 00:00:29.397
<v ->It was designed by the
series costume designer,</v>

9
00:00:29.397 --> 00:00:30.690
Robert Blackman.

10
00:00:30.690 --> 00:00:32.025
<v ->Because of my training in theater,</v>

11
00:00:32.025 --> 00:00:35.528
I tend to work from text
and character development.

12
00:00:35.528 --> 00:00:38.239
<v ->One thing that's actually
really cool about this costume</v>

13
00:00:38.239 --> 00:00:40.200
is that, speaking to sort of

14
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:42.243
the inclusivity of the costumes,

15
00:00:42.243 --> 00:00:45.914
I love this one because, if
you are someone who's like,

16
00:00:45.914 --> 00:00:48.291
more into like modest dressing or like,

17
00:00:48.291 --> 00:00:50.460
even like head covering, stuff like that,

18
00:00:50.460 --> 00:00:52.796
this is like a great costume
that sort of just like

19
00:00:52.796 --> 00:00:55.674
comes as-is and like
doesn't need to be adapted

20
00:00:55.674 --> 00:00:59.094
to become, like, modest, accessible.

21
00:00:59.094 --> 00:01:02.138
So it's like full-body covering,
which is like great if that

22
00:01:02.138 --> 00:01:04.265
just happens to be what
you're more comfortable with.

23
00:01:04.265 --> 00:01:05.558
<v ->Heed her words.</v>

24
00:01:05.558 --> 00:01:08.103
<v ->So, if you're trying
to do this one at home,</v>

25
00:01:08.103 --> 00:01:11.356
this is a brocade fabric.

26
00:01:11.356 --> 00:01:13.483
You can probably find something like this

27
00:01:13.483 --> 00:01:15.026
in any fabric store.

28
00:01:15.026 --> 00:01:17.654
These two pieces are shot silk,

29
00:01:17.654 --> 00:01:20.448
which is also known as
changeable silk taffeta.

30
00:01:20.448 --> 00:01:22.409
You'll see, it changes from like,

31
00:01:22.409 --> 00:01:24.911
sort of a muddy brown to a bright pink.

32
00:01:24.911 --> 00:01:27.163
That's just the benefit of
getting the right fabric

33
00:01:27.163 --> 00:01:30.333
for this one and really
like, going for accuracy.

34
00:01:30.333 --> 00:01:33.628
My advice is if you're trying
to find a changeable silk,

35
00:01:33.628 --> 00:01:38.049
you're gonna wanna go to
whatever the fashion district is

36
00:01:38.049 --> 00:01:41.261
in your area and do some bartering.

37
00:01:41.261 --> 00:01:44.097
Like, some local, like, flavor

38
00:01:44.097 --> 00:01:47.726
is really gonna do you
well in this situation.

39
00:01:47.726 --> 00:01:50.854
It just requires a little
bit of extra effort.

40
00:01:50.854 --> 00:01:55.275
This is sort of just a
spandex that should be, like,

41
00:01:55.275 --> 00:01:57.360
pretty cheap, it's a thin spandex

42
00:01:57.360 --> 00:02:00.864
and you don't need to go for
any more weight that, woo!

43
00:02:00.864 --> 00:02:03.074
Any more weight than that.

44
00:02:04.576 --> 00:02:05.535
Hello.

45
00:02:05.535 --> 00:02:09.247
So, she is a leader within
the Bajoran religion,

46
00:02:09.247 --> 00:02:12.083
and they all wear these beads,

47
00:02:12.083 --> 00:02:15.253
like several varieties of beads
that are all over the place.

48
00:02:15.253 --> 00:02:19.007
This is an amazing detail to
like, be able to see up close,

49
00:02:19.007 --> 00:02:21.676
just because it kind of tells you exactly

50
00:02:21.676 --> 00:02:25.013
what you should be looking
for when you are out shopping

51
00:02:25.013 --> 00:02:28.850
at our favorite domestic
partners, Michael and Jo Ann.

52
00:02:28.850 --> 00:02:32.187
The lines of beads that
you're gonna need are here,

53
00:02:32.187 --> 00:02:34.773
coming off sort of this
connector that connects

54
00:02:34.773 --> 00:02:38.693
the bottom part of her sort
of, sari-like dress to the top.

55
00:02:38.693 --> 00:02:41.780
You're gonna need earrings,
and then she also,

56
00:02:41.780 --> 00:02:45.408
on this side of her hat, has
like another bead detail.

57
00:02:45.408 --> 00:02:47.327
So it's con season.

58
00:02:47.327 --> 00:02:50.246
WonderCon has wrapped, C2E2 has wrapped,

59
00:02:50.246 --> 00:02:53.708
in July we will be at San Diego Comic-Con,

60
00:02:53.708 --> 00:02:55.919
we will be at Star Trek Las Vegas,

61
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:57.170
and then I'm sure the rest of you,

62
00:02:57.170 --> 00:02:59.339
some of you are gonna
be going to DragonCon

63
00:02:59.339 --> 00:03:00.840
on Labor Day weekend,

64
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:02.842
some of you will be at New York Comic Con.

65
00:03:02.842 --> 00:03:05.804
Wherever you're going this
summer and into the fall,

66
00:03:05.804 --> 00:03:10.183
we wanna see the costumes
that you are making based on

00:03:10.183 --> 00:03:11.810
