This 2-pc 1960's showgirl costume was worn by a Minnesota trapeze artist back in the 1960s. The item is generally in great shape considering its age. Buttons are attached to the black bodice with safety pins. Skirt has 10" slits on both sides and the circle print (hot pink, chartreuse, black) is silk-screened onto the fabric.

Please take a peek at the original wearer (in the photographed slide) for a sense of size, and also note the measurements below.

This costume is one of nearly a dozen that we acquired as part of a 100 year family estate that came with a lode of historical photos and information (this listing is only for the one costume with multiple photos). The original owner (presumably the person who sewed them) was an aerialist at Diamond Jim's (a legendary establishment along the banks of the Mississippi River in Lilydale, MN) back in the 1960s; slide photograph is included as provenance; slides will not be included with this purchase (we will share the dancer's name with costume buyer upon request).
