| abstract | - In 2268, Spock offered his compliments to Miranda Jones' dressmaker, who had successfully integrated her sensor web into a beautiful dress. (TOS: "Is There in Truth No Beauty?" ) In 2269, upon recognizing Vanna as the woman who had attacked him and Spock on the surface of Ardana, now clad in a gown instead of Troglyte mining wear, James T. Kirk dryly noted that she'd changed dressmakers. (TOS: "The Cloud Minders" ) Elim Garak was a tailor on Deep Space 9 following its takeover by the Bajorans and the Federation. He ran a shop on the Promenade named Garak's Clothiers. He claimed to greatly dislike being a tailor, especially when compared to his past work with the Obsidian Order, but he nevertheless was extremely skilled. (DS9: "Past Prologue", "Improbable Cause", et al) Quark was one of Garak's customers. (DS9: "For the Cause") When Q visited Deep Space 9 in 2369 he changed his Starfleet uniform to match Commander Sisko's and "approved of the new tailor" Sisko had. (DS9: "Q-Less") When Lieutenant Tuvok replicated Vidiian clothing for the surgically altered Commander Chakotay for his undercover away mission to Avery III, Chakotay remarked that the clothing looked like a fine piece of work. He also said that the next time he needed a tailor he would know where to look. (VOY: "Faces") A deleted part of dialogue from the episode "Move Along Home" says that Bashir wanted Garak to make him a new dress uniform. Dax responded that a replicator would be better than a Cardassian tailor.
