Marilyn Monroe White 2pc Sunsuit Bikini

 The Sun-suit worn by Marilyn Monroe for a photo shoot. Above is my version, made using a stretch poly fabric. It is self lined so that it could be worn in the pool or lake without being see through but is meant for more for poolside glam and not so much actual swimming. The top features a cuff with black buttons and black cord. I used pushup bra cups in this one but bullet bra cup could also be used for a pointier bust line. Boning in center front and sides. Elastic finishes off top and bottom edges. Hooks in back. High-waist shorts with cuff detail and same button detailing on the sides as the top. Center back zipper with hook at waistband.

Marilyn Monroe's Strapless Beach Swimsuit in Aqua- Tobey Beach

This suit is styled after the suit worn by Marilyn Monroe. Made using Aqua spandex, fully lined. bust has boning and bra cups. I also put boning in the side seams to better support the suit. The front is skirted from seam to seam. Scoop back with ties. I added a removable halter strap for a more secure fit. below is the suit, the first picture is the suit with out the straps and elastic,  and the finished suit.

And a little side note, this suit would just about fit the measurements given in the first photograph of Marilyn, only my suit has a slightly smaller bust.
