This two piece hand made costume was worn by a Las Vegas show girl who worked with Melinda The Magician, a famous female magician who worked in Las Vegas, at several historic casinos, many of which have met the wrecker's ball, such as the Landmark. I purchased a slew of costumes from the estate sale of her costume designer, and sold them ( at NO profit) to the Nevada History Museum, head dresses and all, so they could be preserved for future generations. I kept a few items to sell at a later date. This outfit had no headdress, because it was worn with a white turban. Bra is padded. Bottom piece has no crotch, because it was worn over sheer harem style pants. See photo. Size is small. I have documentation from her costume designer, who's estate sale I got this from. I was going to send it to an auction house, but PAWN STARS is interested. Meanwhile, I may as well post this here, while I am waiting for them to get back to me. If they sell, no problem!
Here is what Wikipedia says:

Melinda the Magician "The First Lady of Magic", originated as the billing for the various shows she presented in a succession of Las Vegas venues. Melinda Saxe is the first woman magician to be performing in Las Vegas. Saxe starred in her first show at the Bourbon Street Hotel and Casino, when she was 19 years old.

Moving on from Bourbon Street Casino, Saxe began a family friendly magic show at Las Vegas' Landmark Hotel and Casino in May 1988, under the title of '88 Follies Revue and renamed Follies Revue '89 the following year. During 1988, Saxe was honored at the Society of American Magicians, where she also performed. Saxe's mother was the director, producer and choreographer for Saxe's show at the Landmark, while Suzanne Saxe was a lead dancer in the show and David Saxe worked as part of the technical crew. Saxe's show at the Landmark closed in late 1989, with plans to re open at the nearby MGM Marina hotel.[5]

At the height of her fame[when?] she was starring in big shows with large supporting casts at some of the city's best known locations. She also had a residency at Trump's Castle in Atlantic City, New Jersey and enjoyed a four year run in her own 3, 000 seat theatre in Branson, Missouri. In 1995 she was chosen by producer Gary Ouellet as one of the acts for the second of his World's Greatest Magic television specials broadcast on the NBC network. The show featured the television debut of the Drill of Death illusion, in which Saxe was chained up in front of a giant drill which appeared to advance and impale her before lifting her up and spinning her limp body high above the stage. Ouellet was again influential in promoting Saxe's career when she starred in her own special for Disney in 1997. Ouellet was producer for the show, which, like her stage shows, was titled Melinda: First Lady of Magic. She also featured in the first of Ouellet's World's Most Dangerous Magic specials in 1998, in which she escaped using levitation after being tied up and placed in a glass tank that was filled with snakes.
