Trying on Marilyn's clothes


What size was Marilyn Monroe? A Times journalist tries on her clothes.

As I tentatively tried to coerce my way into the Some Like It Hot dress, Valerie Nelson, the woman charged with caring for the pieces in the Jersey exhibition, talked me through Monroe’s body shape. Monroe was 5ft 5in (I’m an inch shorter); just over eight stone (I’m ¾ of a stone heavier); she had a respectable BMI of 21 (don’t ask). She had an incredibly narrow back and rib cage but big boobs, so if she were to pop into Rigby & Peller for a bra fitting today she would probably be a 30E.

She didn’t have a long body, and although her legs were a lovely shape (beautiful bony ankles and knees) they weren’t particularly long. She had a very short rise (the distance from waist to crotch), but what made her body so extraordinary was the 13-inch difference between her breast and hip measurements and her waist. In her younger years her vital statistics would have come in at 36 23 35, and although her weight fluctuated throughout her career, she always maintained that out-of-this-world body ratio. A real life Jessica Rabbit.

Nelson tells me that they had to get a special mould made for the corset and swimwear dummies in the exhibition because Monroe was such an extreme hourglass shape that no off-the-peg dummies existed in those measurements. The Some Like It Hot dress just about zips up on me – which is pretty mortifying, considering I had always thought of her Sugar phase as a gloriously plump one.

I hate to nitpick, but no museum costume curator would let people try on historically important and irreplaceable garments. The potential for permanent damage (strained seams, rips, sweat/fatty acids from the skin) is too great - in fact they should be handled carefully with gloves and not touched directly at all!

Taking off my aspiring curator hat, I can't blame this journalist for taking the opportunity, and since the costume is in a private collection its up to the collector how he treats his precious artefacts.

But it does make me wince!

My parents once met Marilyn Monroe, when she was briefly married to Joe DiMaggio. My mother was always amused when Marilyn was described as "plus size". She did indeed, Mom said, have a very large test but seemed tiny to her (and Mom was a size 6).

What surprised both my parents was how shy she seemed, and yet she also seemed quite bright, intellectual. And, sadly, Dad always thought she and Joe D. seemed very much in love.

With those measurements she would never be able to find RTW that would fit her; I have no doubt all of her clothes were custom made!

Arabella said...

I don't think Trevira is nit-picking; I was wailing in horror at the thought of that tearing sound! For me it's like someone setting a cup of tea on top of a first edition.
Marilyn was luvverly all over but I'm especially fond of her legs in 'Let's Make Love', bless 'er.

Trevira said...

I was expecting a lot of grief from people telling me what a spoil sport I was, so thanks to Arabella for backing me up! I'm only thinking of the future survival of iconic garments that not only we would love to see and enjoy, but perhaps our children and grandchildren.

It was gratifying to learn that Marilyn was not simply a 'plus size' figure (as if!), but had an extraordinary and unusual figure, as many women who slip through the gaps of 'standard sizes' frequently do.

Her figure was a evidently a big factor in her initial breakthrough, but was merely an additional attraction when considering her beauty, charisma, star quality and acting talent (Bus Stop is a favourite of mine).

The standard measure for a 'beautiful figure' used to be at least 10 inches difference from bust to waist, and waist to hips, and she certainly exceeded that. Very few women these days come anywhere close (me included).

lagatta à montréal said...

Well I certainly did, when I was very young. My measurements weren't much different from hers, but looking at pics of her and me at 18 or so, she seemed much more delicate.I had the tiny waist, but looked much more lusty peasant girl.

Alas, the plot has thickened with age, and it is hard not to look dumpy when one is short and busty - unforgiving if one puts on any weight. Though I guess there are worse things than looking like the Queen...

And I also agree with Trevira, as would anyone who has had anything to do with historical conservation.

Duchesse said...

I see young women today still trying for this 'nightstand with the top drawer pulled out' shape, with breast implants that make the bust large for the ribcage and hips. It's still telegraphs desirability (and fertility.)

lagatta à montréal said...

Duchesse, Marilyn had the proportional hips (as did I, at my young slimmest).

The weird thing now is big boobs with just a boyish straight shape below. Some of us have this for about 6 months at the age of 12, but it is one of those bizarre things that happen at puberty.

desertwind said...

She was lovely. And I see that "curvy" is in.

When "the Susan Boyle body" is in some of us will really cheer!

Marilyn didn't have a big bust! Just take a look at topless photos of her taken by Bert Stern just before her death in June, 1962. She's fairly average - even a bit on the small side. I assume that when wearing more upholstered clothes she had added a fair amount of padding. It appears to me that she didn't have an unusual figure at all - which I guess is good news for women.

Yep - and from a 'price per wearing' standpoint, that makes them actually incredibly expensive. Better to buy something much better (though with a larger up front cost) that you know you need, will wear once a week, and that you know will last at least a year. That's at least 52 wearings divided into the cost. Buying junk that you wear once or twice and have to get rid of because they don't fit well, you actually don't want or that fall apart in the wash, is not economizing. It's actually just wasteful.

No matter how deftly you apply them, false lashes are generally OTT (unless your last name is Kardashian, in which case, they're perfectly appropriate on a Sunday afternoon). For the rest of us, falsies are more like eye toupes, sliding off awkwardly halfway through the night. Recently, however, I visited Soul Lee, Shu Uemura's resident lash expert at Completely Bare in New York (and one of Elle magazine's 2008 Beauty Geniuses), who helped me realize my Bollywood-star fantasy of having outrageously long fringe, without feeling like a stripper. Over the course of an hour, Lee painstakingly adhered 150 individual extensions to my lashes. Once completed, they were lavishly long, flirtateously curved, and most importantly, completely invisible to unsuspecting witnesses (my eagle-eyed husband hadn't a clue). The best part? My set lasted well over a month, even when I was pool-hopping everyday on honeymoon. Fabulash!

Now the luxe goodies are all available on the world wide web. (Hooray for shrinking your carbon footprint!)

Indonesia is a republic with a presidential system. As a unitary state, power is concentrated in the central government. Following the resignation of President Suharto in 1998, Indonesian political and governmental structures have undergone major reforms. Four amendments to the 1945 Constitution of Indonesia[44] have revamped the executive, judicial, and legislative branches.[45] The president of Indonesia is the head of state, commander-in-chief of the Indonesian National Armed Forces, and the director of domestic governance, policy-making, and foreign affairs. The president appoints a council of ministers, who are not required to be elected members of the legislature. The 2004 presidential election was the first in which the people directly elected the president and vice president.[46] The president may serve a maximum of two consecutive five-year terms.

After almanacs were devised, people still saw little difference between predicting the movements of the stars and tides, and predicting the future in the divination sense. Early almanacs therefore contained general horoscopes, as well as the more concrete information. In 1150 Solomon Jarchus created such an almanac considered to be among the first modern almanacs. Copies of 12th century almanacs are found in the British Museum, and in the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. In 1300, Petrus de Dacia created an almanac (Savilian Library, Oxford). This was the same year Roger Bacon, OFM, produced his as well. In 1327 Walter de Elvendene created an almanac and later on John Somers of Oxford, in 1380. In 1386 Nicholas de Lynne, Oxford produced an almanac. In 1457 the first printed almanac was published at Mainz, by Gutenberg (eight years before the famous Bible). Regio-Montanus produced an almanac in 1472 (Nuremberg, 1472), which was continued in print for several centuries in many editions. In 1497 the Sheapheard’s Kalendar, translated from French (Richard Pynson) became the first English printed almanac.ceilidh band in walesBoston Personal Training

Comparisons of the vocabulary size of English to that of other languages are generally not taken very seriously by linguists and lexicographers. Besides the fact that dictionaries will vary in their policies for including and counting entries,[85] what is meant by a given language and what counts as a word do not have simple definitions. Also, a definition of word that works for one language may not work well in another,[86] with differences in morphology and orthography making cross-linguistic definitions and word-counting difficult, and potentially giving very different results.[87] Linguist Geoffrey K. Pullum has gone so far as to compare concerns over vocabulary size (and the notion that a supposedly larger lexicon leads to "greater richness and precision") to an obsession with penis length.website make moneyclases particulares madrid

There are two genetically distinct population groups, but no recognised varieties. This Banksia is classified as endangered, surviving in fragments of remnant bushland in a region which has been 93% cleared for agriculture. As Banksia cuneata is killed by fire and regenerates from seed, it is highly sensitive to bushfire frequency; fires recurring within four years could wipe out populations of plants not yet mature enough to set seed.

Odd how this body type is just one of many for women, but still so desirable by men (big tits, tiny waist, large hips).

All of us know of body improvements we can do- even models and body builders can tell you of ways they could look better. I don't think Marilyn's figure was the most appealing to each and every man (I tend to like women skinny, and if they have smaller breasts so be it), but it's obviously appealing to a wide variety of men. And then of course, there was that beautiful face and smile.

I was alone on a sunny shore
by the forest's pale blue lake,
in the sky floated a single cloud
and on the water a single isle.
The ripe sweetness of the summer dripped
in bead of every tree
and straight into my opened heart
a tiny drop ran down
