The White Halter Dress

The Seven Year Itch · The Girl · Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe's white halter dress, billowing over a subway grate, is the most famous summer dress in film — pleated, strapless and endlessly referenced.

Styling notes

A halter neckline flatters the shoulders, so keep jewellery to a minimum and let the pleats move.
