Marilyn Monroe’s Wonderbra Is Up For Sale
Anyone interested?
Marilyn Monroe had one of the most celebrated hourglass figures in history but her famous curves were not all natural – they were enhanced by a 1950s version of the Wonderbra.
The Hollywood star’s striking appearance was often put down to the contrast between her ample cleavage, tiny waist and swinging hips. Her vital statsistics were an amazing 37-23-36.
But her voluptuous body was not all God-given, it has been discovered – she boosted her bust to a D cup using a heavy duty padded bra favoured by strippers and burlesque dancers.
Now one of her bras – known as a Fling – is up for auction in Britain after being unearthed after 50 years in a private US collection.
The heavy-duty bra – which “perfectly positioned” and enlarged the breasts was reinforced with extra straps running in a triangle from the centre of the bra over the shoulders, similar to how a suspension bridge works.
