Welcome to Serenifly Costumes!
 
A study of the costumes of the TV show Firefly and the movie Serenity.  Thanks to the talents of Jill Ohanneson for the pilot, Shawna Trpcic for the series, and Ruth Carter for the movie, we have interesting costumes to study and love. 
 
This site's main goal is to catalog all the costumes used in each episode and movie. 
 
There are spoilers galore here.  Please, be warned that if you haven't seen the series or movie, you will see plot spoilers within these pages.  Just go out and get it.  Here....here's a link so you can go get Firefly from Amazon or Serenity from Amazon.  Here's the Collector's Edition of Serenity.  It's very good.
 
 

what's here?
 
What will you see here?  You'll see research photos taken from screencaps, promotional photos, and scans from books and magazines dealing with the costumes from the series and movie.  I've tried to find every picture I can of all the costumes.  Some will have more exposure than others. 
 
What won't you see here?  Help with the actual making of a costume.  I don't know where you can get the perfect shirt to go with Kaylee's coveralls.  Nor do I know how to make most of the stuff used on the show.  I'll just keep track of the photos, you can do the rest!  :)  I will put up a tutorial if they're given to me.
 
Enjoy!
 
Get started with the series or the movie.

Pic of the Moment

I've always liked this costume.  And she wears it when we first find out she's a killer woman (shall we bring her tea and dumplings?).  It has a number of different ways to be worn, with and without sleeves.  She wears it in Ariel, War Stories.
Check out this page to see the research.

Thanks all!  Good work!!

what's new?
 
November 14, 2009 - YAY!  Fileden restored all my files.  You have no idea how happy this makes me.  So, all the links should work again!  Let me know if you find something that's missing.
 
October 23, 2009 - I'm so sorry, folks.  The webservice I was hosting some of my photos on (Fileden) lost my files.  ALL of my files.  They're gone.  So, some of my links have disappeared.  Some of the photos are just fine, but if you click on a link and it goes nowhere, I'm working on it.  Be patient with me.   :(
 
June 8, 2009 - Well, Browncoats, the site move is not going well.  Things are not moving as smoothly as I'd like (why doesn't it ever go smooth!?).  But, I'm doing my best and it's going to happen.  Just not right this moment.  But, to tide you over... I've finally got some of my FF music I'd like to share.  It's not perfect, but it works.  Have fun, and if you see any weirdness, just send me an email.
 
March 25, 2009 - You have no idea how much it pains me that the new site isn't ready.  I'm working on it as quickly as I can, but as I said already, real life gets in the way.  But, I wanted to say again that I really appreciate the images that have been sent or offered.  If you have any that you think I couldn't possibly have, I'd love to look at them.  I would love it if you have some pictures you've taken yourself of any of the costumes used.  I know that some of them have been on display.  Taeriel, that I met over at FFF.net, sent me an email recently about some awesome pictures she has of some of the costumes used in Serenity.  They're great tools for making your own costumes and will be up on the new site!  Thanks, Taeriel!!!
 
February 1, 2009 - A quick announcement about Swear Alternative, the company that makes Kaylee's shoes from Serenity.  They have gone out of business and their last shoes are being sold on Ebay.  I found 3 pairs that could be modified to look like Kaylee's shoes, but they are men's US size 10 1/2 (European size 44).  Still cookin on the domain change.  It's coming along slower than I expected due to unfortunate problems with my abilities.  :(  Will get the site up as soon as I can...
 
January 4, 2009 - Announcement!!  I recently got my own domain for other purposes and have decided to move Serenifly Costumes to my new domain!  And, so what does that mean for you?  Well, it means you'll have to wait just a bit longer for the update.  I decided to revamp the whole thing and it's taking me some time to figure it out.  The good stuff?  It'll be as complete as possible when it goes live!  YAY!  I'm always looking for new pictures and tutorials and pictures of your costumes, so keep on sending them!  I look forward to announcing the new website soon!  :)
 
September 28, 2008 - Hi, Browncoats.  Sorry about the lack of updating on my part.  It's mostly due to major life events...like moving!  Yep, I moved across the country and am now just about settled in.  So, it looks like I'll be able to start pulling all these wonderful pictures off my computer and onto the wonderful web here.  I've made a plan that will get all the pictures that are on my computer to the site by the end of this year.  I do this in my free time and without any pay.  I do it because I love it and I can't think of a better way to show how much I love this show.  I do this because there isn't anything like this out there.  I still love getting emails with photos that I don't have, so send away.  I am looking forward to having this site as complete as I can.  Thanks, everyone! 
 
March 26, 2008 - *sheepishly*  oops.  Ok, Ok, I'm around.  I didn't fall off the face of the earth.  But hey, a present!  I put up another pic of Zoe's funeral dress, thanks to Casey...getting me off my butt.  I've been contemplating series Mal or Wash next, what do you think?
