From the pages of a book authored by L. Frank Baum to real life, Dorothy Wizard of Oz costume is here for you to relish in your daydream - journeying to the fantasy world.

Who could forget the yellow brick road to the Land of Oz and Dorothy's pair of red shoes? The novel is entitled The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and Dorothy, the young lass from Kansas, is the main character. In the story, she is helped by friends to go back home by reaching the Wizard of Oz. This gave her the fantasy adventure of her life. Perhaps, many could relate to her dream and plight hence the inspiration to make her costume available for everyone's taking.

The Dorothy Wizard of Oz costume looks very pretty especially for little girls to wear in parties. It is tailored from what was described in the book: a gingham blue dress, white shirt with puffed sleeves and a two pig-tailed wig with hair bows. This classic look was introduced, recognized and set in the first movie produced after the book. Today, the costume is available in different variations, classic and modern; they all look "very Dorothy".

The Sexy Dorothy Costume is a modern variant. It retains the color combination of gingham for the dress and white for the shirt. But the dress is noticeably shorter and gleaming because of the sequins while the shirt has no shoulder collar. The modern update also introduces thigh high stockings with a blue gingham bow as a perfect match for this outfit and the hair bows come in red hue. If you want a simpler style, go for that of Leg Avenue; a mini dress with bubble skirt.

Another design that looks good with those stockings is the one with a modern Victorian feel. This Dorothy Wizard of Oz costume is also a mini gingham dress with white shirt and apron but its distinguishing feature is its front laced, corset-like top. Another takes it to a higher level with covered shoulders; bigger laces from the corset and apron and puffier dress edges.

Any of these costumes won't be complete without the red shoes. Cover up the surface of your shoes with glittering red sequins and prettify each with a red bow. With this, you need not buy a new pair. You can buy these covers quite cheaply from a costume store.

You may not want to look like everyone else and another person doesn't want to look like you either. Thus, the Dorothy Wizard of Oz costume has been improved through time to offer a different version for everybody. - 39969
