Lady Sirella

Lady Sirella, daughter of Linkasa, was General Martok’s wife and Mistress of the House of Martok. Sirella, played by Shannon Cochran, was of noble descent, tracing her maternal lineage back to Shenara, daughter of Emperor Reclaw of the Second Dynasty.

A proud and headstrong woman, Sirella was originally opposed to the marriage between Worf and Jadzia Dax, believing that by allowing an alien to join her house, their identity as Klingons might be threatened. Since, as Mistress, it was her duty to approve all marriages into the family, she came to Deep Space 9 to evaluate Dax’s worthiness. After much conflict, she eventually acquiesced and performed the wedding ceremony with great pride.

This costume was featured in the Deep Space Nine season six episode “You Are Cordially Invited." I believe this piece represents one of the finest achievements in Klingon civilian costume design.

By far one of the top ten costumes you have in your collection in my opinion. And I think that's really saying something because you have have many awesome costumes! I look forward to one day seeing this one in person. It really does look AMAZING! Thanks for sharing your collection on the web Jim.

Hi there, I am actually looking to cosplay Lady Sirella, and I was wondering, if you still have it, if you could take some close up photos of some of the detail pieces, such as the shoulders, arm bands, and especially her crown piece. I would greatly appreciate help thanks

Greetings. I am also planning to cosplay Lady Sirella at the 2019 STLV. After 10 years, I am retiring Dax's wedding gown for my cosplay. I would be very grateful for closeup pics of this gown especially the adornments and the gown without the cloak so that I can successfully recreate it.

Hello
My name is Alan Berkoski and I work with a convention called The Galactic Diversity and Inclusion Convention. For our next con we’re going to have a renewal of vows for Martok and Lady Sirella. Both JG and Shannon will be there. I am tasked to recreate Lady Sirella’s costume. I was hoping you might be able to help with some pictures of some of the parts to make it easier to create. If you are willing to help, could you please contact me at aberkoski1@gmail.com so we could talk. Any help you could give would be most appreciated.
