Judy’s dress on the block
|
|
Wizard of Oz fanatics hoping to own the dress worn by Judy Garland in the iconic film might need to appeal to the "Great and Powerful Oz" for
financial support. The blue and white gingham dress worn by Garland when she played Dorothy Gale in 1939 is set to be auctioned on April 26 in London. The dress could fetch from $50,000 to $70,000.
"This dress represents the quintessential magic of childhood in the most beloved film of the 20th century," said a spokesman for the auction house. "It has become a cherished memory for millions of fans worldwide and was worn by one of the most talented and respected stars in Hollywood."
The dress was custom made for Garland, who was 17 in 1939. It has a 27-inch waist and Garland's name on an inside hem label. The auction house didn't identify the previous owner.
