Marilyn Monroe: Suits, Dress and Accessories

The ''white'' dress worn by Marilyn Monroe in ''The Seven Year Itch'' also known as the ''Subway Dress'' is easily the most recognizable dress ever worn. My version is made using a cream poly crepe, (to match the shade of the original dress) The bodice features built in bullet bra cups! Pleated at the center back neck and finished with a hook closure. Pin-tucked midriff with crossing bias bands and hip bow, boning support in lining. Super full skirt pleated in a sunburst style, each pressed and starched by hand. center back zipper.

The muff, also lined in faux silk, is stuffed like a pillow for a stylish and practical accessory. Morningstarpinup.com
