«Fat girl or an ideal figure»: here is the real size of the beautiful Marilyn Monroe

Many still doubt whether the actress would fit into modern beauty standards.

The image of Marilyn Monroe still excites the minds of the audience.

She was a sex symbol of the 20th century, and her body was envious of women.

However, many still doubt whether the actress will fit into modern beauty standards. You can understand this by learning what size Monroe actually wore.

The career of Marilyn Monroe was not very long, because the actress passed away at the age of only 36 years.

However, after her were films, hundreds of reporter photographs, and amateur personnel. All these materials are still carefully studied to find the answer to the question that worries many-what was the main Diva Hollywood?

In publications, you can often see that it was the 14th size, which in the modern dimensional grid approximately corresponds to the size of 52-54 or L/XL. Actress Elizabeth Herley even called Monroe «fat» after she saw her dresses at the exhibition.

But in fact, confusion arose due to the fact that dimensional nets adopted in the 1950s are very different from modern ones. So, for example, in the modern «zero» model, the size corresponds to the 10th size in the old standard.

That is, it turns out that Monroe wore clothes in 42-44 sizes. In addition, Marilyn’s parameters were recorded at the Blue Book modeling agency, which the future star signed at the age of 19.

Monroe had almost perfect parameters of the hourglass, with a height of 166 cm and a weight of about 53 kg. By the way, the administrator noted at the agency that the size of the young Monroe is 12.

Of course, with age, the weight of the actress hesitated slightly. But, for example, the same weight-53 kg appears in a pathologist.

Today, many researchers of Monroe’s life agree that the actress was more likely to correspond to the modern size 8-10, that is, M.

Not thin, but far from the plus size!
