Anonymous: Can I please see a picture of your hourglass figure especially your waist your measurements are great!!!

Okay (: ..My authentic 40s bathing suit (which I am a little too plump for) is what shows my shape off best, so I tried taking a photo at front view, but my bosoms were too noticeable and I feel that’s inappropriate so here is one from behind but still showing my shape (I cropped my bottom out! haha) …I hope this is not too inappropriate either!

life:

A half-century ago, on a spring night in New York City, 35-year-old Marilyn Monroe — literally sewn into a sparkling, jaw-droppingly tight dress — stood in a spotlight on a dark stage. She took a breath, began to sing — and 15,000 men and women who filled the old Madison Square Garden that night knew, simply knew, that they were seeing and hearing something that they would never, ever forget.
The song, of course, was “Happy Birthday,” and Marilyn’s breathy, intimate rendition — sung, as if the two of them were utterly alone, to President John F. Kennedy — has been celebrated, analyzed and lovingly parodied countless times in the five decades since that indelible performance.
LIFE’s Bill Ray was there — and now, we present a set of unpublished from that unforgettable night.

Finally decided to get back in my sewing room and make something for myself, rather than just for a client!

And this is the outfit I have recreated:

This top and shorts are super simple, and perfect for summer days when I just don’t have energy to dress all up fancy! The top I have made is virtually the same but without a collar, and the shorts are the same but a little more A-line and with a much higher waist! I am rather pleased with myself.

Images of the garments shall come soon! xx
