The history of the White dress of Marilyn Monroe

The dress appears in the sequence of The Seven Year Itch in which Monroe playing "the Girl".

The scene was scheduled to shoot on the street outside the Trans-Lux at 1:00 am on September 15, 1954.

The photo was taken when Marilyn exited the Trans-Lux 52nd Street Theatre on Lexington Avenue in New York City, having just watched Creature from the Black Lagoon.

When they hear a subway train passing below the sidewalk grate, she steps on it and asks "Ooh, do you feel the breeze from the subway?" as the wind blows the dress up, exposing her legs.

Monroe and the movie cameras caught the curiosity of hundreds of fans, so director Billy Wilder reshot the moment on a set at 20th Century Fox.
