Was Marilyn Monroe really a size 10?I read/heard somewhere that Marilyn Monroe was a size 10, but I wonder if it was just an urban legend. Evidence:
Today's women's size 10 is NOT the same as 1952's size 10 (the year of her death). Sizes have changed dramatically since then (Hint: they keep getting smaller. Of course.). Other sources claim she was a British size 16 (a US size 12), a US size 16, or a number of other sizes. Not to mention reports of her measurements varied widely, too, even from around the same year. Obviously she was sexy, and size is only a number. Women who rock a size 10 can be as sexy as a size 2. I was just wondering if anyone out there with more expertise in Marilyn Monroe/fashion history can help me out. Googling this has gotten me nowhere. Non-internet sources more appreciated (has anyone read her biography?). Thanks! |
