From Associated Press

The blue and white gingham dress Judy Garland wore somewhere over the rainbow in “The Wizard of Oz” was sold for $252,000 Wednesday at a London auction.

The dress, one of the most recognizable in movie history, went to a buyer bidding by telephone who did not wish to be identified, said Bonhams, the auctioneer.

The dress, which was one of six identical garments created for Garland for the 1939 movie, is a pinafore style popular at the time and contains a label with Garland’s name sewn on the hem.
