The nude, sequined dress that Marilyn Monroe wore to sing for president John F. Kennedy’s 45th birthday is going up for auction on November 17th at the world famous auction house to the stars, Julien’s Auctions in LA. Prior to the auction, the “Happy Birthday Mr. President” dress will go on an exclusive world tour. The dress custom Jean Louis creation sparkled with over 2,500 hand-stitched crystals. It was so tight fitting that Marilyn wore nothing underneath and had to be sewn into it last minute. The original sketch was illustrated by Bob Mackie. The historic dress will be presented on the custom made mannequin that was designed to match Marilyn Monroe’s exact body measurements.
