Wardrobe Malfunctions: Vintage Almost-Dangerous Outfits (PHOTOS)

Today's bra-top wearing Miley Cyrus and pastie enthusiast, Nicki Minaj, come from a long line of women who dared to bear it all. Let's just say the sheer trend isn't anything new. In honor of the history of the wardrobe malfunction, we put together some of the most epic and memorable fashion fails from the pre-Janet Jackson's nipple days. We have all the MVPs: our girls Xtina and Britney in the nineties (more like naughties), and of course Marilyn Monroe in her iconic white dress in "The Seven Year Itch."

Check out the slideshow to see our picks for near "fashion fail" status.
