Marilyn Monroe's stunning blue polkadot sundress from her iconic 1957 Sam Shaw photoshoot.

In 1956, the small, rural, western Connecticut town of Roxbury was swarmed by reporters who recently learned that the internationally-famous starlet Marilyn Monroe was in town visiting her fiance, Pulitzer prize-winning playwright Arthur Miller.

Upon discovering that Monroe was in town on June 25th to meet Miller's mother and two children from his previous marriage, reporters crowded in front of Miller's Roxbury home and were by all appearances ready to stay there until they caught a glimpse of the famous actress, who had stayed inside all day. After 7:00 pm that evening, Arthur Miller finally emerged from his home in an attempt to placate the paparazzi and request some privacy, greeting them with, What do you fellows want? Maybe we can straighten things out.

About the dress:

Flattering ruching to adorable white piping that adorns the tiered skirt, with
adjustable straps which lead to a customised fit up top. The lined bodice and knee-length skirt lining assured a comfortable feel for Marilyn.
