Joker

[ferox.livejournal.com]

I work at a costume/formalwear store; most of the year we sell tuxedos, but we also supply the dance companies with their shoe/tights/leotard needs and around Halloween provide some less ‘cat ears in a bag’ type alternatives for adult party-goers.

I have a group that are going as Batman villains. This is just fine, as we have these costumes... or so I thought. It ends up that our Joker costume is missing the trousers; what I thought to be trousers hanging inside the jacket was actually just another jacket – we ordered two purple jackets and no pants!

Argh.

We have a TON of old black trousers from our formalwear business that I could use, but they’re, well, black. And not purple. I did see that on occasion Joker wears purple trousers with black pinstripes.

Can you think of any way to achieve this? Or, even black trousers with purple pinstripes/stripes in general? Anything? This group is supersweet and I don’t want to let them down.
