The Rocky Horror Picture Show
or more precisely, the Transylvanian Concubine's shadowcast of the Rocky Horror Picture Show performed at University Mall Theaters in Fairfax, VA.
I joined the Transylvanian Concubines in May 2024 as a costume coordinator, and eventually progressed to performing with them as well. I take great pride in creating screen accurate replicas of Sue Blane's costumes from the 1975 film, for the cast, myself, as well as independant commissions by other members of the shadowcast community.
^I made a mistake on the wedding scene Janet (farthest left) She's wearing black shoes, not white.
I primarily play Janet when I'm performing, and I made all of my own costume pieces. The purple suit is a combination of two very lucky thrift store-find alterations. I made her pink dress from scratch, as well as all of her white underwear.
Columbia's corset is probably the most involved replica I've ever made. I did not make the base bustier from scratch. Instead I took pattern pieces of each panel of the bustier and cut them out of muslin, which I then hand sewed the sequins onto. Once I had each panel sequined, I sewed them onto the particular pattern and arrangement of the sequins can be approximated, but after digging for as many references as I could find, I developed what I think is the most screen accurate version of the sequining. I used strings of sequins meant for trim, and cut them into 4-5 sequin sections.
