Marilyn Monroe -  Some Like It Hot  Costume Piece
Marilyn Monroe - "Some Like It Hot" Costume Piece. This unique piece of Monroe, and motion picture history is an actual Jeweled Dress/Bra Strap which was removed from Marilyn Monroe's dress worn in the historic film, "Some Like It Hot." A number of years ago, the world famous Collection of Motion Picture Costume and Design, owned by Larry McQueen and the late Bill Thomas, did a museum-quality restoration on the entire dress, which is part of their permanent collection of costumes. It was at this time that this particular strap, due to its age and fragile state, was removed and replaced. The fabric is displayed in a museum quality frame, with a descriptive plaque and a photo of Marilyn Monroe wearing the exact dress from which the strap was removed. Includes impeccable provenance in the form of a letter of authenticity directly from the Collection Of Motion Picture Costume and Design. Cataloged and guaranteed by Startifacts. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
