Want a quality Starfleet uniform without the $200 price tag? Here’s your chance to get a great uniform for only $5!

Hey folks! I’ve decided that if I want to improve the quality of my uniforms, I need to get my hands on a serger. A serger is designed to finish the edges of cut fabric and prevent fraying, even through repeated wear and machine washing, which is something any good cosplay should be able to do! Unfortunately I’m already breaking bank (on Trek cons and fanseries, haha), so to help cover the cost, I’m raffling off a custom Starfleet uniform!

The Rules:

  • I’ll ship anywhere within or beyond the United States
  • You must be 18+ or live with someone 18+ who doesn’t mind you sharing your address (this is just a legality thing)
  • You do not have to be following either of my blogs, but if you like Star Trek and cats, you should check out my main @slightly-oblivvyous
  • The raffle ends on July 2nd when I return from New York and the winner will be chosen by Random Number Generator

How to Enter:

To enter, donate at least $5 USD (currency converter) to my PayPal here (use this link if you don’t have PayPal). Put your tumblr url and preferred email address in the “Write a Note” field so I can contact you. (This is important!) Multiples of $5 count as multiple entries, so $9 only counts as one entry, but $10 counts as two. Reblogs don’t count as entries but are greatly appreciated.

Prize Tiers: The prize for the raffle depends on how many people participate. I must get at least 30 donations (or $150 total) for the raffle to go forward.

  • At 30+ entries, one winner will get a FREE* TOS uniform or TNG crop top
  • At 50+ entries, full jumpsuit-style uniforms (DS9/VOY, TNG) become available along with jacket-style tops
  • At 75+ entries, there will be two winners; the Grand Prize winner gets a uniform of their choice and the second place winner gets a TOS uniform 
  • If there are 100+ entries, I’ll offer two Grand Prizes and cry

The winner(s) will be chosen on July 2nd and will receive an email with a link to my commission form to pick out their uniform(s)!

*NOTE: If you want a rank above Ensign, you’ll have to pay for rank braid – I have to order it online and the higher ranks ain’t cheap. Sorry! (Still, even if you went for Captain, you’d be getting a hella rad uniform for $30. That’s not bad.) And if you’re outside the US, you’ll have to cover part of the shipping cost.

Even if you can’t afford to enter or aren’t in the market for a uniform, please help a fellow Trekkie out and signal boost! LLAP!
