Fancy dress - The Riddler (Batman)

booter

Hi all - I need a little help! The nephew (adult) has asked if I've got any ideas/could help with a cheap "Riddler" costume (ebay are asking £45 :eek: and it's not his size!) So I've suggested green leggings and matching long sleeved green t shirt, a stencil and some black spray paint - you get the idea Now, the problem is trying to find leggings and t shirt in the same colour (or at least very similar). There's plenty on e-bay, but although the colours may look similar, chances are when they both arrive, they'll be way off. I've also thought about one of those "morph" suits, but I'm not sure if it would take spray paint. (And they're not cheap either!) Does anyone have any ideas?

why not buy a white t shirt and leggings and dye them? Chances are they'll be similar enough not to matter even taking into account the difference in materials? A tub of dylon should only be a couple of quid and you should be able to get white tshirt and leggins pretty cheap from Primark or similar?

Thanks redfragglebiker - now why didn't I think of that?!:) You watch - I'll get it all done, and he'll change his mind at the last minute :cool:

No worries and good luck with it all! Just as a side thought some cheap black sequins glued on the question marks may perk up the outfit too. You should be able to get the cheap on ebay or at craft stores and it may make the costume look more expensive than it was?
