Marilyn Monroe Commissions Part 3

"Gentlemen Prefer Blonds"

Here is another stunning, yet underrated costume from the 1953 film starring Marilyn Monroe, and Jane Russell.



Warning! Lots and lots of Pictures!














Here is my version

The dress looks simple, but there is a lot going on with the neckline and skirt drape.







It took a while to figure out how to make the neckline.








I never did figure out how make the drape on the skirt,




so I just made a sash.

Welcome back! Been wondering where you are. Love the outfit! Do you have some spare for me to purchase? Will it fit Tonner doll? I love this dress and the dress in "Something Has Got to Give".
