Part of this scene was posted on the forum years ago, but I found some better-quality scans, as well as the aftermath.
Posion Ivy's henchgirls infiltrate a Batman-themed hotel. They gas a trio of waitresses (the "Robinettes") and don their uniforms. (Click links for larger images.)

TP3, you've made my day.
Finding the aftermath with the Robinettes being stuffed into lockers is awesome.
Excellent find.

a big thank from me, Tirepanted, on behalf of the whole board
this scene drawn by Bob Kane has been one of the very sources of this
trope ( or
genre ) since 2006 and the direct inspiration of a poser story by Slain

eventually it came out that it is not a costume stealing scene ( the stealers take the spare costumes and don't strip the real robinettes)

Yes, I recall the scene being brought up a few times in the past, with regards to Slain's poser story. At least the aftermath confirms that it is indeed a proper costume stealing scene (showing one of the Robinettes in her underwear).
Just a note, although Bob Kane is credited as artist here (as he was on all Batman comics back in the day), the actual artist here is the great Joe Giella.
