The Wizard of OzA blue and white checked gingham dress, worn by Judy Garland in the"Wizard of Oz," hangs on display, Monday, April 25, 2022, at Bonhams in New York.NEW YORK — It’s one of the most recognizable outfits in American movie history, the blue-and-white checked gingham dress a young Judy Garland wore as Dorothy in the classic 1939 movie “The Wizard of Oz.”
She and others are hopeful that nostalgia factor will come into play when the costume goes up for sale at Bonhams “Classic Hollywood: Film and Television” auction on May 24 in Los Angeles, where it has a presale estimate of $800,000 to $1.2 million. Bonhams has the dress on display this week at the auction house’s New York location before it is sent to California for public view and then auction.
The Tin Man , Dorothy and the Scarecrow set off on their quest for fulfillment in the children's classic 'The Wizard of Oz', directed by Victor Fleming for MGM, 1939.There was more than one of the costume made for Garland while filming. Hall said that four are known to exist and that only two, including the one found at Catholic University, are with the blouse she wore underneath. Bonhams sold the other one with a blouse at an auction in 2015 for more than $1.5 million.
