How Much Did Marilyn Monroe Weigh?

Pictured when a teenager

Marilyn’s weight fluctuated, but her normal weight was 118 pounds (53.5 kilograms). Her weight went up and down so dramatically during the filming of The Prince and the Showgirl that the costume designer, Beatrice Dawson, had to create facsimile dresses in different sizes. “I have two ulcers from this film,” she is reported to of said, “and they’re both monogrammed MM.” Her highest weight was 140 pounds.

Although Marilyn’s weight and dimensions are similar to current high fashion models, she was too short by current day standards at 5′ 5½” (166.62 centimeters); the cutoff today at the Blue Book Model Agency where Norma started is 5′ 8″. Her height would have made her seem wide. Her dress size was 12.

While Marilyn certainly was not overweight, these numbers go to prove that you do not have to be super thin to be sexy. Here is a book to help you cultivate your inner Marilyn Monroe :)

Height: 5 feet, 5½ inches, 166.62 (centimeters)
Weight: 118 pounds, 53.5 kilograms

Helen	Carol the bra fitter is right- there is no way Marilyn was a 36D! For starters, this is a disproportionately large back size for someone with a 22/23″ waist and 35/36″ hips. With her small lower body measurements, this would have give her a triangular swimmer’s style upper torso, not an hourglass shape. I really think Marilyn would be much closer to a UK 32, or 34 at the absolute max. Also, if her rib measurement is supposedly 36″, to be a D her across chest measurement would then have to be 39″, which is clearly not the case when looking at photos of her: her chest is not that big: in the Last Sitting photos, where she is almost naked on top, her bust looks around a C cup.

Heather	Sizes are very different today than they were then. A size 12 then equals a much smaller size today. Her waist was 23″ – that’s tiny! 5’6″ and 118 lbs is a thin to healthy weight. Marilyn Monroe was very slender.

Carol	There is no way Marilyn Monroe weighed 118 pounds, and wore a size 12 dress and 8 pants with a size 36d bra, I bra fit and someone of that weight would be in a size 30-32. if the sizes are correct she would have weight from 140-160
