Marilyn Monroe- River of No Return- Corset and Skirt


 Another great Marilyn Monroe outfit, this time from ''River of No Return'' Above is the finished outfit that was a clients request. Below is the sample set i made to test out the corset pattern, i ended up lengthening the front point a few inches for the corset above you can see the sample below. Both have a metal hook busk in the front and back lacing, the sample corset has buttons loops the final version has eyelets. The bottoms are a stretch brief with a silk/cotton blend fabric skirt over the top trimmed in red lace. The Marilyn pictures of course are below as well.

The sample corset set is available for sale at a great price you can check that out here : https://www.etsy.com/listing/194983830/sample-marilyn-monroe-style-western?ref=shop_home_active_3  it would make a great Halloween costume ;-)
