Comments on: Did Marilyn Monroe really wear a size 14? http://www.chezlark.com/?p=925 Semi-Coherent Rantings of a Progressive Secular Humanist Thu, 09 Sep 2010 08:41:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Lorraine http://www.chezlark.com/?p=925#comment-47174 Lorraine Wed, 09 May 2007 17:35:21 +0000 http://www.chezlark.com/?p=925#comment-47174 It's true— she wore a size 14. A VINTAGE size 14, that is. I collect vintage clothing, and I, too, wear a vintage size 14. But I wear a size 6-8 in modern clothing. It's a different sizing scale, one that is still used by sewing pattern makers. It’s true— she wore a size 14. A VINTAGE size 14, that is.

I am not talking about the norexic models who should be in the hospital and care instead being shown off at a catwalk runway at some thin is in supporting fashion show. I just posted some important news about fakes on the internet on OUR MARILYN BLOG. You're welcome to read this. Strangely enough the fake belt is a Size "14" even though MM's real orange Pucci belt was only a "10." I know those are different sizes... Cheers to England and all the wonderful Marilyn Monroe fans and collectors.
