Results are in for the MM eBay auction

ooohhh thanks Lizzie.

Well, the gal had a lot of stuff. And maybe as her heirs died, they are selling it as her estate rather than the other persons. She didn't have kids, but maybe former husbands, more distant relatives and managers, etc, each had some of her stuff? i would hate to think Attys held it up for THAT many years
 
Darn...i was hoping to see measurements on garments so i could get the satisfaction or dissatisfaction (if i am fatter) about how i compared size wise to her. i know that sounds crazy.
 
Wow, I really like the ones where they show pictures of her wearing the dress.

Since I always envision her in full skirts (like the one where it blows up) or a bombshell like dress, it's nice to see the different styles she wore and what we can call a "Marilyn" dress.
 
I love her with a passion all in it's self..........
I have so much stuff with her picture on it that I bet my husband is about ready to pull is hair out......

It is said that she told everyone that she was a size 8. But most people believe that she was really a size 10/12.

Either way I love her and I liked seeing the pictures of her wearing the items too. :wow:
 
I thought the story was that she was a 1950s size 14, but i can never keep my anecdotes straight.

what we can call a "Marilyn" dress.

I think that only depends on what the buying public perceives as a "marilyn" dress.
 
Lizzie, thanks for posting this. It really is interesting to see the pics. She really is one of those true icons of the times.

Whoa - the hammer prices really left the estimates in the dust! I guess that just like in real estate the 3 most important indicators of value are location, location and location, with antiques & collectables it's provenance, provenance and provenance. (The next 3 being condition condition and condition :) )

Thanks for posting this Lizzie!
