Size - Body Measurements of Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe - Tudball or Svelte Beauty Queen?

She was the apple of the American Public Eye - but was that apple plump or was it the perfect size?  Many modern day weight loss gurus would consider Marilyn Monroe on the plump size based on speculation that she was a size 14-16.  Do you agree?  Here are some facts to help in your decision:

Measurements of Marilyn Monroe

Weight: varied from 118 - 140 pounds

Height: About 5' 5"

Measurements: About 36-22-36

Another thing to consider is that Marilyn Monroe lived in a different era.  Clothing is sized by manufacturers and clothing designers, based on the average size of 'current individuals'.

In our best guesstimate, Marilyn was about a size 8-12, depending on whether she purchased her dress at a high-end store or a low-budget store.

In this current era of 'Seeking Slimness' society tends to go over the edge in what should be considered 'acceptably thin', so the dieter should take that into consideration when setting their weight loss and fitness goals. 

And due to the ever-changing Clothing Size Wars, perhaps the best gauge for slimness rests its laurels on actual measurements rather than clothing size. Although clothing sizes can change - whether manufacturer or designer driven, it's pretty difficult to change one's actual measurements.

In our Diet Eyes, Marilyn Monroe was a size perfect! Let's see those hubba-hubba Marilyn Monroe measurements again:

Weight: 118 - 140 pounds

Height: About 5' 5"

Measurements: About 36-22-36
