Susan Margaret Blane MBE (born April 23, 1949) commonly known as Sue Blane, was the costume designer for the 1973 production of The Rocky Horror Show and the following productions in Los Angeles, Australia and New York. She was also costume designer for the 1975 feature film version, The Rocky Horror Picture Show as well as the 1981 follow up film, Shock Treatment.
In the late '60s, Sue Blane studied costume design at Wolverhampton College of Art and Central School of Art and Design. In 1971, she went to work for the Glasgow Citizen's Theatre, where she designed the costumes for Lindsay Kemp's production of The Maids, starring Tim Curry as Solange — wearing a black corset. In 1973, she met director Jim Sharman, who was looking for a costume designer for a new, low-budget musical called The Rocky Horror Show that was being produced at the Royal Court's Theater Upstairs. Blane grabbed Curry's corset from the Citizen's Theatre, glued on sequins, and created Dr. Frank-N-Furter's first corset. Blane designed the costumes for the Roxy Cast in Los Angeles, the original 1974 Australian Cast production and the 1975 Broadway production of the play. Many theater and film projects followed including a revival of The Rocky Horror Show in 2006.
She received an MBE (Members of the Order of the British Empire) in 2006.
