If you've ever watched America's talent, I'm sure you've seen the quick change act. Woman steps into a hoop, and in seconds she's wearing a completely different outfit. There is no real "magic", in fact there's a website that sells both complete outfits and the "clumsy loops" to convert any clothing into quick change:

So I started googling to see if there's been any acts where the man suddenly wears a dress. This is the closest thing I could find (but it isn't quick change, it's swapping people)

So finally I came across a page that said quick change actually goes back hundreds of years (not in form we know now), and it wasn't until around the 60's where russia started bringing it back. Anyway, back in the 30's they coined a term "Fregoli" which means to change character + sex, and sure enough when you search on youtube you find an old video where a man quickly changes clothing (but in plain view), and in one instance hides a dress underneath his male clothing:
