The Inventive Side

Marilyn Monroe is renowned for her voluptuous figure, but few are aware of her remarkable talent for using ordinary items to enhance her physique. When she sought a perkier appearance, Marilyn sewed marbles into her bras. 

In cases where marbles were not available, she ingeniously sewed together a couple of buttons to achieve the same effect. Her innovative approach eventually contributed to the development of what we now know as the push-up bra.
