It’s been reported that the dress was so tight that Monroe was sewn into the dress seconds before her curtain call. Kim Kardashian admitted she went on a diet to lose 16 pounds in three weeks in order to fit into the dress for the Met Gala. The famed dress has stayed preserved at Ripley’s Believe It or Not! until the reality star showed up at their headquarters in Orlando, Florida in late April. Kardashian, a Monroe fan herself, was set on wearing the classic dress.
