A figure-hugging sheer black and nude embellished cocktail dress worn by Marilyn Monroe while singing "I'm through with Love" atop a grand piano in Billy Wilder's Some Like It Hot (1959).
The dress is composed of black souffle and nude silk jersey embellished with columns of jet-like beads and sequins, scattered beaded butterfly appliques, and beaded fringes. The dress has a built-in bra and anillusion of a deep plunging back that was considered extremely daring for its day. Hand finishing work is present to the interior. A Western Costume label inscribed "Marilyn Monroe 1575-1" is attached to the interior of the bra. Legend tells that Monroe hadto be lifted to the piano for this scene as the dress was very form fitting.
Some Like It Hot is considered to be one of the greatest comedies of all time.
