Marilyn Monroe’s thighs touched when she walked, when she sat down, her stomach sometimes rolled over her waistband, her butt jiggled when she walked, and these were her measurements:

Weight: 118-140 pounds

 Bust: 35-37 inches

Waist: 22-23 inches

Hips: 35-36 inches

Bra size: 36D*

*her weight fluctuated throughout her life.

She wore dresses from sizes 12-14.

And she is still considered one of the most beautiful women.

Now, a lot of women aspire to be a size 8, not have their thighs touch, and not have any extra weight in their stomach.

Are women really doing it for themselves or society?
