In Return of the Jedi, the gangster Jabba the Hutt captured Princess Leia Organa and enslaved her. He dressed her in a luxurious and revealing metal bikini. It appeared on screen only briefly, but has ever since been an icon of geek fashion, imitated and altered many times.
Now you can own the original worn by Carrie Fisher. The auction house Profiles in History is offering it among 50 other Star Wars props for sale on October 1. Experts anticipate that it will sell for between $80,000 and $120,000.

The New York Post describes the other goodies that are available for Star Wars fans with deep pockets:
Another expected top seller is a miniature blockade runner spaceship from 1977’s “A New Hope,” the ship carrying Princess Leia and droids C-3PO and R2-D2. […]
The intricate 16-inch model comes from the collection of late visual effects Oscar-winner Grant McCune, and is expected to fetch between $200,000 and $300,000.
A Rebel Fleet Trooper helmet from the first film, the only one to ever be sold at a public auction, is estimated to bring upwards of $150,000.
