Um conjunto completo de uniformes (incluindo uniformes da Dress) foi projetado pelo figurinista do filme, Bob Fletcher.
Isso foi discutido com certa profundidade no livro " A produção de Star Trek: O filme "por Gene Roddenberry:
Fletcher not only devised uniforms for all the crew, but, as with most military services, there are several classes of uniforms.
Dress uniforms are worn only on formal occassions and at Starfleet Headquarters. The best example of this can be seen in Admiral Kirk’s uniform worn at the beginning of the movie, with Bill Shatner wearing the crisp loden green and white uniform.
