Division Fabric (Downloads)
The raised superhero-esque print used on these uniforms sits much more flush with the fabric than the deltas on the Discovery uniforms. I scaled the image to actual size in Illustrator, then traced and averaged the pattern before tiling it. Since the fabric was not laying flat, I only based the traced pattern on stars in the center of the frame and closest to the ruler to minimize distortion.
Below are PDF files you can download. One suitable for large applications sized 30″x60″ and another smaller 8 1/2″x11″. Print at 100%. Do not scale.

I’m looking for the skant uniform pattern
Please help
Only question is, where to buy the textured fabric… 🥲
Where can I purchase the pattern for the uniform?
There isn’t a published pattern, but you can kitbash from an existing pattern for something with similar cutting lines.
Fwiw, I wouldn’t be surprised if one if the “Big 3” do a near-ish pattern for cosplaying, just as happens for other media.
Did you get an answer?
The details on the sleeve were screen-printed by the costuming team. There’s some debate as to whether they used an opaque ink or a clear silicon ink. I looked into the costs (and learning curve) of screen-printing my own fabric and it was a bit too much, so I’ve made a workaround with my Cricut machine and some heat-transfer vinyl…
How did you manage to do the work around?
I’m working on a custom group order of the security one, it can be made. If you’re interested, let me know 🙂
Get in touch, I m interested
