It never did. The BMI scale is widely known to be a very poor indicator of actual size and health. My BMI is But my bust is 37, waist is 27, and my hips are about They look really fat. Cuz toned muscle and puffed up body building muscle do not mean optimum functioning muscle. She never had a thigh gap, she never had a totally flat stomach without the little pouch under her bellybutton, and she was never so skinny that her ribs or breastbone stuck out.
My previous comment was not to the writer of the article, but to other commenters equating plus size with obesity, and apparent fatness as a bad thing. And that includes skinny people. Maylyn Monroe was never Xlarge. She was a healthy weight and a beautiful woman. But its the natural body issues that her bust size contrasts with the waist. The confusion here comes from the s size labels as her top is a size 14 many people think its modern 14, 14 is purely a size 8 today as i buy lots of vintage patterns and usually i buy them size 14 and 12 and im a size uk.
So yes, in any ways and directions this issue could stretch in to, she remains in the small size circle. Very interesting to see she worked out with weights.
Must have been very unusual back then. Today models and actresses routinely use weights to tone their bodies. It would make shopping so much easier. Amazing to think mm was tiny to now.
A photo I saw once she showed ribs. Ribs was something on a thin person. Mm was definitely tiny and thinner than expected. Anyone with eyes and intelligence can see that Marilyn was a slim woman with a gorgeous figure. And she was still drop-dead gorgeous. A little softer, her curves more pronounced, but her waist still small and her beauty undiminished. I personally love being ! And the rest of my body is slim enough to make those breasts stand out.
So Elizabeth Hurley can shove it. Her comments were unnecessarily mean. Neither does mine. I can admire beauty in other women without being catty about it. I enjoyed this article it was a very informative read! I enjoyed seeing the pics and the different measurements at different times.
The internet and social media is rife with misinformation. I thought that was so hilarious. The fact that people are trying to suggest that Marilyn was plus size because she is curvy is just ludicrous. I am in agreement with those who say that plus size seems derogatory. I dont know how anyone could look at the pictures of her and not just intuitively know that she is a pretty small woman!
I really dont understand how anyone with eyes could not feel ridiculous trying to insinuate that she would fall into such a category… lol. As a side note, one comment was speaking on the derogatory nature of the plus size terminology, and spoke about kids and how that could hurt their body image. Why I can remember the name of the boys but not the girls is a mystery to me!! I think maybe because even as a young kid I felt like the term husky seemed kind of negative to me!
Roseanne Girl just stop, your ignorance is showing again. Marily merely had more flesh and curves than most of the female stars who preceeded her — who were skinny and flat and bony. Marilyn, Jayne Mansfield , Sophia Loren — were all gorgeous curvy women — none of whom were plus size or fat! I think what needs to be recognized is how very skinny most starlets were. Even Greta and Marlene came to Hollywood fleshy and full and wete forced to get skinny.
So on to MM. Here we are in and everyone still knows who she is without question. She was not only beautiful but smart too. Her size was just perfect and all men loved her. Just got a warning thanks to Marilyn. Now, Marilyn is back on top where she will always stay. RIP Sweetheart!!! Marilyn was fat. The pictures show she had excess body fat and not 22 inch waist. So, what size was she? Well, like most women, she wasn't one size everywhere.
When British journalist Sara Buys had a chance to try on some of Marilyn's clothes earlier this year, she reported:. After all these years, mystery and conspiracy theories still surround her death, but when it comes to her physical attributes, I can put a few facts straight.
Contrary to received wisdom, she was not a voluptuous size 16 — quite the opposite. While she was undeniably voluptuous — in possession of an ample bosom and a bottom that would look at home gyrating in a J-Lo video — for most of the early part of her career, she was a size 8 and even in her plumper stages, was no more than a I can tell you this from experience because a few weeks ago, I tried to try on her clothes.
The next generation of bubbly Save time, money, and ultimately help save the planet by forgoing your La Croix. Okay, now we have to translate British sizes. HuffPo , adding to the confusion, neglected to do this in their link headline from April.
Depending on the designer, a British 10 might translate as an 8, a 6, or even a 4. And vintage clothes of that era were cut slim, intended to be worn with serious girdles, so take this into account. The answer? There's no "exact" number. All we can know for sure is that Marilyn Monroe was a gorgeous, dramatically curvaceous woman with a physique heavier and curvier than that which is en vogue now.
The better question is, why do we care? To show the evolution of our aesthetic, certainly. And obviously, curvier women were the ideal - and whatever the verdict on Marilyn, stars like Jane Russell and Esther Williams were more voluptuous, larger-framed and more athletic than almost any we see on the screen today.
But stars were always thin and urged by the studios to be thinner see: Judy Garland. But after it came out, her career took off. Marilyn Monroe poses in a bathing suit in at age 21 at the start of her career. Her first movie role was uncredited; She played a telephone operator in the movie "The Shocking Miss Pilgrim" starring Betty Grable.
