DISCLAIMER
These are scene-by scene breakdowns of costumes and hand props for a screen-accurate rendition of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Make-up (including tattoos and scars) is treated separately in the Make-up section. This list is based on observations of several different prints of the film, discussions with other fans, and extensive use of Rocky Horror posters, books, magazines, video, DVD, Blu-Ray, stills, etc. I've had lots of excellent help. (My thanks to everyone on the Rocky Horror newsgroup for their input and support; I miss you guys.)The descriptions here are not perfect; this is a work in progress. Remember, if what's on this list doesn't look like what's on-screen go with what's on-screen. This list is NOT "definitive" and is intended as a convenience to people assembling costumes; not the word of God.
If you think you notice a mistake or just want to chat about costuming, please email me. (If you see something that is wrong/incomplete it would really help if you tell me which scene I can see the detail in question; I reply much faster if you send a photo/screencap than if I have to drag out the Blu-Ray.) I am happy to talk with anyone so long as a tone of mutual respect is maintained.
All mistakes on this list are my own--nothing goes onto the site until I have verified it with my own eyes.
A note about the DVD: it really has changed everything. Now everyone can have access to high-quality stills. Same thing for the Blu-Ray but more so. If you want to do serious detail work; buy a copy. I bought a DVD player specifically to watch Rocky then did the same thing for the Blu-Ray. Make sure you get a player with zoom capabilities. If you're looking for DVD software for your computer I recommend PowerDVD; it has screen capture capabilities and frame advance. Several of my friends have also been happy with it. Blu-Ray capture is significantly more difficult and will probably require some creativity or just popping the disc in every time you want to check something.

How To Use This List
This list is intended for fans who want to recreate the costumes from the movie "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." If you are costuming a production of the play "The Rocky Horror Show," I can't stop you from using this website for reference. But I can strongly encourage you to do what Sue Blane did and costume the play using your own original ideas, or, if you must, using her designs as a jumping-off point instead of slavishly copying them. Please leave that to us fans.- If you want to know what costume pieces a character wears go to that character's page.

- If you are looking for specific websites which sell shoes, gloves, etc. or want to find people who will make costumes for you visit our Links page.
- If you don't see what you're looking for, or you think you've found a mistake or omission, by all means email me. Please do check out any details you write about before emailing me, though; if you haven't bothered to check the detail, why should I?
