Dorothy’s dress under hammer

The dress worn by Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz is going up for auction with an estimated value of more than £300,000.

The white puff-sleeve blouse and blue gingham pinafore has inspired countless Halloween costumes since the film was released in 1939.

Although several identical dresses were made for her character Dorothy, the dress to be sold is the only version seen in the film 
and the only complete original dress to survive.

month before the auction on November 9 and 10.

Other items for sale in the auction have links to screen stars including Marilyn Monroe, Julie Andrews and Steve McQueen.
