About the Costume

Marilyn Monroe first wore this sweater for the role of Polly in the 1950 film The Fireball. Marilyn wore it again the following year as Iris Martin in the movie Home Town Story. It appears that the sweater was not the property of any studio’s costume department and was, in fact, owned by Marilyn herself.
