Marilyn Monroe's Striped Pencil Skirt

 

Custom request skirt, the print was custom designed by me and printed on a cotton twill fabric using Spoonflower. Side button and zipper, the skirt sits a bit lower on the mannequin in the auction photos, this is due to the mannequin being the wrong shape for the skirt, its sitting a little lower than it would have fit on Marilyn. As far as i know there are no photos of Marilyn wearing this particular item.
