So you want to dress up in a Rocky Horror costume, huh? So, who will you be? Brad, Rocky, Janet or someone else?

Janet?! You want a Janet costume? So that is who you want to be – all right then. Let’s get started dressing up like her in your own Janet Weiss costume.

First of all, and this can be the hardest question to answer, but let’s take a few minutes to explore the costume options for the Janet character in the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Why?  Because there are quite a few options to choose from.

As the character of Janet, Susan Sarandon was simply adorable. And as we are introduced to her in the film we do see quite a transformation – from a very shy and mousy, wallflower type to a sexually robust and powerful being at the end.

Some of the most remarkable clothing for the Janet costume include Janet wearing a Easter bonnet type hat and a lavendar suit near the beginning of the film while at the church. Too tame for you? What about the pastel pink dress with the basic light gray sweater? Make it even more authentic by wearing it damp and holding a newspaper over your head.

Still not what you’re looking for as your perfect Janet costume? Okay, okay, how about going as Janet with her white bra and half slip? Not only is it truly memorable but it is a wonderful costume for first timers.

All you need are a shiny white demi-bra, white granny pannie type briefs, and a knee level half slip are the standard. I think just about everyone would instantly “get” this Janet costume from the Rocky Horror Picture Show film!

And to wear the perfect Janet costume you will need to get a blond wig specifically designed for this costume (unless you already have long blonde hair). If not, any dirty blonde/light brown Hannah Montana type wig will do the trick with a little tweaking – remember, you’ll want to go for that 1970′s Farrah type wavy hairdo.

Just remember if you do choose to use a curling iron on a synthetic wig, there is a good chance it will melt but using hair gel and curlers usually will keep it set through the show. So be careful in styling your new blond wig.

And once you’ve gotten all the pieces of your Janet Weiss costume together all you’ll need is the right attitude to complete the look. Remember, Janet was shy to start but by the end of the The Rocky Horror Picture Show film she was a lot more sure of her sexuality and a lot more confidant too.

So have loads of fun wearing your very own one of a kind Janet costume from Rocky Horror this year. Maybe you’ll even win a trophy for your costume at a few of the Halloween parties you’ll attend! And if not, then “dammit Janet!”
