Don't Miss:

Love the pieces! Sad to think they won’t be available in anything larger than a size ten even though Marilyn was 12/14.

Moni, you do realize that size 12/14 was quite a bit smaller in her heyday? Marilyn’s waist measured at 23 inches. A size 12/14, nowadays, measures anywhere from 32 to 40 inches.

Love the clothes; don’t at all like the model.

in 1955 the women clothes are not too short before the knees.. Marylin Monroe never wear very short dress.. don’t look right those picture . 1955 the women dress all the way over their knees.

Funny how thin the model is that they used for the collection. You would think that a line inspired by Marilyn Monroe would be showcased on a model with curves. Also, half of the collection on the website looks like the same things that are currently trendy… the only thing that makes it Marilyn-esque is that the model is wearing a Marilyn-like hairstyle. Not impressed.

Marilyn was 5 ft 5 1/2 inches tall. She weight 117 lbs. The mannequins at the 1999 Christie’s auction were size 4′s. So just because the dress label said size 12/14 doesn’t mean she was a big girl. She was small and petite, and a size 4 by today’s standards. She had curves, but they were in her bra and panties, not her gut. A 23-24 inch waist is small. And the outfits in these photos are Marilyn-esque because they are based on fashions she wore. The first photo is reminiscent of her casual wardrobe while in Canada shooting a movie in 1954. They shortened her jeans to modernize it, but it’s similar. The cherry print dress is a nod to her famous cherry print dress from the movie the Misfits. And the last outfit is a shorter copy of the black and white dress she wore for the Byron or Baron (I can’t remember) photo session in the garden and evergreen trees. They added a little red jacket to it probably because she also wore a red pantsuit for this session too.
