This season 1 & 2 style costume was worn by Gates McFadden in her role as Dr. Crusher in the TNG pilot episode "Encounter at Farpoint." This was confirmed by the costume card attached to the sleeve. This costume is nice because it came with the original screen used rank pips and comm badge already attached. Complete costumes are always more desirable for collectors, and when I saw this in the Christie's catalog, I just had to get it.
I actually enjoyed her character on the show, especially in the later seasons. I thought that she grew quite a bit as TNG continued, and her relationship with Captain Picard evolved nicely. This is definitely a costume I will continue to display for years to come.
a non-commercial collector of Star Trek costumes. I have been collecting since Christie's held the now-historic 40th anniversay auction, and I'm afraid to say, there is no end in sight. I collect on many different levels: love of the character, passion for the design of the costume, and an amazement at the materials and workmanship involved in the creation of such magnificent pieces of "art". I find that I am constantly drawn to the costumes from Star Trek Deep Space Nine since that series holds the most interest for me, but my collection represents most of the various series and films.
