Resorts Atlantic City has settled a lawsuit brought by 40 women who objected to wearing revealing 20s-style flapper costumes and having to “audition” for cocktail serving jobs.

In a court filing, both sides agreed to end the case. Though details of a settlement were not released, the filing suggest one was reached.

The case was filed in 2011. According to the Press of Atlantic City, the workers were required to wear the costume of the casino’s then Roaring 20s theme and also take part is a “bizarre” audition as part of the casino’s rebranding.
