MARILYN MONROE SUIT FROM "LOVE NEST"
20th Century Fox, 1951
A two-piece suit made of light-brown wool worn by a twenty-four year-old Marilyn Monroe as she portrayed sexy ex-WAC Roberta Stevens. Consisting of a fitted blazer with a flared waist and three-quater length sleeves, a matching skirt with six buttons sewn down the front and a self-belt (now in fragile condition), Marilyn wears this suit when she goes downstairs to have champagne with her neighbors played by June Haver, William Lundigan and Jack Paar. Unfortunately, the original white lapels have been changed to an amber-colored velvet for another actress' use and the white ties around the cuffs have been removed, but the outfit is still recognizible as being the one MM wore in this early comedy. Additionally, the skirt has a handwritten cloth label in the interior lining reading 1-69-1-1134 M. Monroe A-635-04 and the jacket has a paper studio drycleaning tag reading Fox 59027 SP. (2)
