Costume Design by:

- Robert Blackman ( notable efforts: The Running Man (1987), Star Trek: The Next Generation (Seasons 3 to 7), Voyager (1995 - 2001), Enterprise (2001 - 2005), Pushing Daisies (2007 - 2009), Mockingbird Lane (2012) )

'Image in the Sand'

Joseph Sisko (Brock Peters) appears in this episode, wearing a set of pajamas made of a patterned brown material, with a more smooth panel going over the shoulders.

'Afterimage'

This episode would be one of the few of the final season to have new outfits for Garak, which in this case is a very plum and mauve deal with pink lining all over, and a large panel of golden patterned material down the front.

'Chrysalis'

In this episode, Bashir falls in love with the genetically enhanced patient Sarina (Faith C. Salie), who sports a dress made of a seemingly rough but colourful material.

'Covenant'

This episode involved the former Cardassian leader Gul Dukat, now in league with the 'Pah Wraith' spirits of Bajor, leading a cult devoted to said spirits - for this, and other episodes of the series, he wears an orange top of a padded material with a jacket made of a green scale-like material.

'The Emperor's New Cloak'

The very last season didn't have much worth noting costumes-wise, with the exception of this episode which invovled another return to the fascist mirror universe - in this reality, Brunt seems to be a much more heroic character, wearing a much less elaborate costume - though the costume photo shows that apparently the colours weren't shown well in the moodier lighting? Or was it a duplicate costume, not sure.

This episode also had a mirror universe counterpart to Ezri Dax (Nicole de Boer), who wears a short black leather jacket very much of its era (after all, The Matrix had just came out), though there's a slightly creative angle with the studs fixed at different parts to add an asymmetrical detail to it - this rather 2000s leather fixation would reach its peak in both Star Trek: Nemesis and Star Trek: Enterprise.

There is also a mirror universe version of Leeta who wears a blue dress with red and blue patterned material for the sleeves and skirt segments.

'Chimera'

In this episode, Odo meets another 'changeling' like him, Laas (Garman Hertzler), who wears a simple green tunic with orange and grey lining down the sides of his tunic.

'Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges'

A follow up to the previous season's 'Inquistion', in which Bashir gets recruited by the mysterious Section 31, represented by the cold-blooded agent Sloan (William Sadler). Sloan spends most of this episode wearing a pinstriped suit and mottled grey shirt, the suit jacket having a sloped opening for the shirt.

Sloan also is briefly seen wearing another formal suit, this one being much more stern in design with a stiff collar and ridged segment around the chest - only very briefly seen here, it was reworn by an extra in the Voyager episode 'Critical Care'.

Bashir's mission involves trying to uncover a plot by Section 31 to assassinate a Romulan official, or so he thinks. The Romulan leader, Neral (Hal Landon Jr.) sports a shiny tunic with a patterned panelling for the shoulders.

The Romulan senators are dressed a bit differently than usual - gone are the large shoulders they always used to have in The Next Generation! One senator, Cretak (Adrienne Barbeau) wears an especially appealing orange patterned dress.

Also involved in this plot is the Romulan spymaster Koval (John Fleck), who sports a buttonless brown tunic with black lining.

This would also be a good time to mention the uniforms of the Romulan spy service, the Tal'Shiar, for this series, which were introduced in the fourth season - in contrast to the bulky, large-shouldered uniforms they had in The Next Generation, now the Tal'Shiar soldiers have more slim grey padded tunics over black jumpers and trousers.

'Till Death Do Us Part'

In this episode, Benjamin Sisko finally gets married to his love, Kasidy Yates (Penny Johnson Jerald), and present at the wedding is Jake Sisko (Cirroc Lofton) who wears an asymmetrically cut suit jacket over a wraparound golden shirt for the ceremony.

Kasidy's wedding dress meanwhile is a powder blue dress with a translucent fabric going over the shoulders and arms.

This episode also had another appearance from Dukat, now disguised as a Bajoran, and wearing an asymmetrically cut mottled blue vest and grey jacket over an orange shirt and trousers.

From this episode onwards, Dukat would also start wearing a purple-hued robe as nightwear, though this was only barely seen on-screen.

'Tacking Into the Wind'

This episode had another Vorta, the unlucky Luaran (Kitty Swink), who like other lower-ranking Vorta seen in the show sports an orange-brown patterned tunic with a large green panel over the shoulders.

'Extreme Measures'

This episode involved the last appearance of Section 31, with Bashir and O'Brien journeying inside the mind of the deceitful Sloan. Inside his mind, they find a more chipper version of Sloan wwearing a wraparound shirt made of a speckled blue and grey fabric.

'The Dogs of War'

This episode introduced one last new outfit for the former spy Garak (Andrew Robinson), consisting of a tunic designed with large angular panelling going over the shoulder, the panelling's material made in a light grey material going over a tunic of speckled darker grey, and with grey trousers.

Notable among them is Garak's mother Mila (Julianna McCarthy), who sports a grey-green dress with spotted brown material underneath it as the shirt segment.

'What You Leave Behind'

The finale of the entire series would see the Cardassians being led to rebellion by their former leader Damar (Casey Biggs), who sports a civilian disguise consisting of a brown tunic covered in darker triangular patches over the chest and sleeves. Again, due the frenetic direction and dark lighting, this is barely seen on-screen in the episode itself.

Mila makes another appearance here, wearing a grey dress with speckled panelling over the shoulders.

Lastly, is the outfit worn by Dukat in his final battle with Sisko, where he wears an outfit very similar to his previous Bajoran disguise, except that now the asymmetrically cut shirt is of a reddish-pink material rather than a blue-green one.
