People in those days were actually a lot smaller than people today due to changing diet. They were shorter and thinner. It's nearly impossible to find vintage clothes in larger sizes because there was so little of it made and fatties have used it all up now. Same goes for vintage bracelets and even shoes.  BuT MaRiLyN wAs A SiZe WhAtEvEr... Ima stop you right there. Today's sizes are not what they used to be. A size 12 from back then is like a size 2 or 4 today. She was 5'4" and 125 lb when she died and she was thinner before that. Betty Brosmer was the most in demand pinup model of the era and she was a modern size 0 or 2. The preference was for thin with curves. Lardwhales like this have NEVER been seen as desirable in this country EVER. The idea that they have is a fatty cope and a lie, and you're stupid enough to believe it.
