RHPS Costumes

Aren't you fed-up with garbage, full-of-shit sites where nobody actually communicates, such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Twitter? Do you wish your old friends who've migrated to those sites would return to LiveJournal? The the_lj_revival community has been set up with that aim in mind, and you are invited to join it. If you are already on LiveJournal and still have a Facebook profile, and would like to see more people returning to LJ or setting up accounts here, we invite you to post a link to this community on your Facebook Timeline. If you would like to find out who is still using LiveJournal and make contact with those who are already here, you are invited to copy and paste the 'about me' questions on the profile page and post them with your answers to the community.

This used to be such a great group. I see no activity in over a year. Has the group moved to another site?

Not sure if this belongs here, but I needed to ask. What is the piece of furniture callled that Columbia and Magenta lie on in Toucha Toucha? It looks like a bed but there are arms at the front and a arm? that is at the end too...

At the end of this month I'm going to a rocky horror showing and need help with my costume.
I am planning on creating my look based off the original 1973 Columbia

These are my thoughts so far but I would very much appreciate any information that people could give me!

Here are links to the look:

Hi all my friend Amy is selling her floorshow corset made by Saffron Shearer Gare of timeslip designs if anyone is interested. The link is http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rocky-Ho…

Sorry for the shameful plug but I'm selling some of my costumes that I've made or bought over the years. Thought some of you might be interested in them so posting the link here http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/columbia…

I was very disappointed with myself when I waited too long to pick up a waitress style uniform from a website that disappeared.

Apparently the key is to think "housekeeper" instead of waitress; button-down-the-front uniform dresses can still be had.

http://www.fullsource.com/ has them in light blue and white only, $25, including shipping, large sizes available for slightly more.

https://www.uniformsinstock.com/ is $39 including shipping, but they have pink (and yellow and teal and various types of apron).  I was tempted.  They also have what look like almost-Magenta dresses (white collar and cuffs on dark dress - cuffs are stated to be "grey cord" and yes, there are all sorts of weird non-Magenta details like kick pleats).  Amusing that the "uniform" look still works all these years later.

Any creative rocky horror fans out there, do I ever have a challenge for you!
I have been thinking very hard about this and I really need someone else's opinion on this...
Does anyone have any idea where the insipiration for Columbia's costumes came from

My ideas are:
Marilyn Monroe (hourglass silhouette) and stereotypical broadway girl

Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Does anyone know of a place to pick up the sequined fabric online?  The only site that I can find that has anything close and doesn't have a 1000 meter minimum is www.sequinsdirect.com.  The closest they come has a spring-weave or a jersey knit for the fabric and goes for $44.40/yd and $49.30/yd, respectively.  They have every color you could think of though!  I've checked out the local dance suppliers and they have been out for years. :(
