Elaan of Troylus orange sheer dress ensemble (bottom left), Ambassador Petri purple sash ensemble (bottom center), and Elaan corresponding costume sketch (top left) from the Star Trek: The Original Series episode “Elaan of Troylus”. Upon witnessing hand props & sets from the series being thrown into the trash following the conclusion of the series’ low rated final season, costume designer William Ware Theiss was given permission to keep his favorite costumes, which he archived until his death in 1992. A number of these costumes were featured in a Smithsonian Institution exhibit that proved so popular it was moved to a larger location and was held over for an extra year to become the most attended exhibit in the history of the national institution.
