Dressing - Robe sweat rayée noire et blanche de Walter Bass
Robe sweat à rayures noires et blanches sans manches
Sleeveless black and white striped sweatshirt dress
On ne connait qu'une seule séance photos où Marilyn Monroe porte cette robe, qui est une création du couturier Walter Bass: pendant l'été 1954 où Marilyn pose dans une villa de Palm Springs sous l'objectif du photographe Ted Baron.
Cette robe ample, au col roulé et aux rayures noires et blanches, est à la fois moderne et classique. C'est une robe sportswear que Marilyn portait quand elle voulait être décontractée. Elle la porte tantôt avec une petite ceinture noire, tantôt sans.
- Robe avec la ceinture -
- Dress with belt - 
Only one photo shoot where Marilyn Monroe wore this dress is known, which was created by fashion designer Walter Bass: during the summer of 1954 when Marilyn posed in a villa in Palm Springs by photographer Ted Baron.
This loose dress, with a turtleneck and black and white stripes, is both modern and classic. It's a sportswear dress that Marilyn wore when she wanted to be relaxed. She wears it sometimes with a small black belt, sometimes without.

On retrouve la robe portée par une concurrente copie de Marilyn: l'actrice Jayne Mansfield, qui a porté la robe à de nombreuses reprises, toujours avec une ceinture pour marquer sa taille.
The dress is found worn by a competing copy of Marilyn: the actress Jayne Mansfield, who has worn the dress many times, always with a belt to mark her waist.
- Publicité pour le maquillage Westmore -
- En 1957, en visite sur le tournage du film "The True Story of Jesse James" -
Jayne avec le réalisateur Nicholas Ray et l'acteur Robert Wagner 
- En hiver 1957, le "USO Tour" de Noël au Japon -
Jayne participe à une tournée avec l'humoriste et comédien Bob Hope pour remonter le moral des troupes US postés sur place. D'ailleurs, un peu comme l'avait aussi fait Marilyn en se produisant sur scène en Corée en février 1954.
- In winter 1957, the Christmas "USO Tour" in Japan -
Jayne takes part in a tour with comedian Bob Hope to boost the morale of the US troops stationed there.
Moreover, a bit like Marilyn had also done when performing on stage in Korea in February 1954.
La robe est aussi portée par une 'copine' de Marilyn: l'actrice Jane Russell (sa partenaire du film "Les Hommes préfèrent les blondes"), à sa descente d'avion de Mexico le 06 avril 1955 avec les acteurs Clark Gable et Robert Ryan pour y tourner le film "Les Implacables".
The dress is also worn by a 'friend' of Marilyn: the actress Jane Russell (her partner in the movie "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes"), when she got off the plane from Mexico City on April 06, 1955 with the actors Clark Gable and Robert Ryan to shoot the movie "The Tall Men" there.
