Auctioneer Bonhams listed a presale estimate of $800,000 to $1.2 million for the dress before it was withdrawnThe dramatic story of an iconic movie costume from “The Wizard of Oz” thought lost for decades went through another plot twist Monday, when a judge blocked its planned sale at auction.
One of the blue-and-white checked gingham dresses that Judy Garland wore in 1939 for her role as Dorothy was scheduled to be part of an auction of Hollywood memorabilia in Los Angeles on Tuesday, put up for sale by the Catholic University of America. The dress was rediscovered at the school last year in a shoebox during preparations for a renovation.
Auctioneer Bonhams listed a presale estimate of $800,000 to $1.2 million for the dress before it was withdrawn.
