Hollywood, California 1962 MM6250 Costume Half-robe over string strap bra and sidegather culotte. Heels. The sidegather culotte theme is echoed in the center front of the bra. L > TML. N-1. Actions Marilyn strips off a half-robe (1) for a wardrobe test for Somthing's Got to Give. She opens it up revealing a bikini underneath (2), pushing it offshoulder so it may slide down her arms (3), and drops it on the floor (4). The sidegather culotte is barely gathered at the side, and arched up in the middle to cover her belly button. In fact, she puts her hand over it, to make sure it is covered. Commentary For a woman who is the superstar of her era, Marilyn still knows how to tease. And if this isn't enough, Marilyn also performs a nude bathing scene--her first nude photography since 1949.
