Escapade, the fancy dress retailer, is teaming up with search engine Ask.com to dress up their iconic mascot, Jeeves, in fancy dress.

Starting in July, Ask.com's mascot, Jeeves, will be taking on an altogether more outrageous look as Escapade provides the costumes to kit Jeeves out in fancy dress refinery.

The search engine has launched an application on its homepage that allows users to dress up Jeeves using not only costumes from Escapade but also clothes and accessories from Ben Sherman and Gieves and Hawkes to ensure that Jeeves is the best dressed butler online.

Providing a wide variety of fancy dress costumes and accessories for the Ask team Escapade has used some of their seasonal favourite fancy dress costumes including Christmas and Halloween fancy dress. Users are allowed to mix and match Jeeves' look on the Ask site to create a truly unique outfit.

An added bonus of the Ask application is that once users have dressed up Jeeves they will be allowed to post the completed look onto social networking sites Facebook and Twitter or email the look to their friends and family.

Bhupendra Maisuria, the Chief Executive Officer of Escapade, said: "We are looking forward to working with a search engine as prominent as Ask and with their iconic butler Jeeves. Ask users will now have the opportunity to search with a smile on their faces as they dress up the famous butler in a great selection of fancy dress costumes."
