PRODUCT DETAILS
What's in the Box
- White halterneck dress with plunging neckline, gathered bodice, and pleated knee-length skirt in satin-look polyester
Wig not included — the platinum blonde wig, white heels, and pearl jewellery shown in photos are styling suggestions only and sold separately.
This Womens Marilyn Monroe Costume captures the most-photographed dress in Hollywood history — the billowing white halterneck from the 1955 subway grate scene, faithfully recreated for parties, Halloween, and themed events.
High-sheen satin-look polyester flows from a fitted, gathered bodice into a pleated knee-length skirt built to move. The halter neckline ties at the nape of the neck for an adjustable fit, and the lightweight construction gives the skirt that signature lift with every step.
Perfect For
Halloween & Costume Parties: One of the most recognisable costumes going — instant Hollywood icon energy for Halloween nights, themed pub crawls, or movie character parties.
1950s & Vintage Glamour Events: A natural fit for retro decade nights, Golden Age of Cinema celebrations, or any 50s-themed event where Old Hollywood star power is the brief.
Hens Nights & Celebrations: A crowd-pleasing pick for vintage-themed hens parties, bachelorette weekends, or any night out calling for classic glamour.
How to Wear It
Pair with a platinum blonde curled wig, red lipstick, and white platform heels for the full effect. Add pearl jewellery and winged eyeliner with a beauty mark to complete the 1950s starlet look.
FAQs
Q: What size should I order?
Check the size chart image on the product page for bust, waist, and hip measurements. The halter tie allows some adjustability at the neckline, but the bodice is fitted through the waist — if you're between sizes, size up for comfort.
Q: Does the costume include the wig or shoes?
No — the package includes the white halterneck dress only. The platinum blonde wig, white heels, and pearl jewellery are sold separately in our Accessories section.
Q: How do I get the billowing skirt effect?
The pleated construction and lightweight fabric naturally catch air with movement — stand over a fan or in a breezy spot for the full subway grate moment.
Q: Is this suitable for a themed work party or corporate event?
Yes — it works well for vintage Hollywood office parties or retro corporate nights. The plunging neckline is period-appropriate; keep your venue's dress code in mind.
Care: Hand wash cold, hang dry, do not iron pleats.
