Those are all gorgeous!!! She is a such a beauty and that figure!!! I can't believe she is my size. Its surreal.

Thanks Style_savy, Karma for you for bringing all those great pics.

Marilyn was curvy for most of her career but she lost a LOT of weight in the last year of her life and she got to be quite tiny.They estimate around a size 8 uk.

It's also important to remember sizes were different in those times...so when they say she was a size 16 it doesn't mean she was actually today's size 16.

I don't think she was ever bigger than a uk 12/14 because I read an article a few years ago by a size uk 12 journalist who once got the opportunity to try one of Marilyn's dresses on and it fit her perfectly.

You can tell I've read too many Marilyn books!

 

[Bonchic]

so a UK 12 is what size in the US?

 

[iluvjeisa]

Albeit curvy, Marilyn was rather small even when she was chunkier, so I doubt she ever was a US size 16. 12 is more like it, possibly 14. And when she was younger and during her last year she was probably a size 6/8.

There´s just nobody like her, she was unique and that´s NOT because she´s dead.

I never realised until now that there was a thread on Marilyn, I absolutely adore her.
