The Ideal Body – Marilyn Monroe
We are fairly sure this woman requires no introduction in this image. You know Marilyn Monroe without much of a doubt! She had the ideal hourglass shape, simply put. Her measured values of 34-24-35 were nearly identical to the approximate curves of movie star Grace Kelly at about 118 pounds (35-22-35). It is easy to see why the star was so envious of many women in the ’50s. ” The body is meant to be seen, not all covered up,” Monroe said once.

1960s – The Twig
This just shows that it is achievable for the ideal female body type to modify so radically within just a few years. The twig overthrew the hourglass figure after a decade. All of a sudden, having curves was no longer considered fashionable. This time, the narrow hips, small waists, and thin limbs were all about people! They preferred a boyish frame.
