The Dorothy Wizard of Oz costume can be faithful to the story or more modern. Either way it looks good and original. The classical look of Dorothy has been established by first movie created after the book. This costume is available today and consists of a gingham blue dress, a white shirt with puffed sleeves and matching hair bows. A wig with her haircut can be purchased as well, since her 2 tails are a significant part of her look. This outfit is very appropriate for children at school parties.
But as it was said earlier, modern variations of these Wizard of Oz Costumes are on the market too. First there is the Sexy Dorothy Costume which consists of a short gingham dress with sparkly sequins. It includes a small white shirt too, with no shoulder collar. The hair bows are red in this outfit. A pair of white thigh high stockings with a blue gingham bow should fit perfectly with this costume. A similar costume comes from the Leg Avenue. It is a simple short dress with the puffed bottom.
Another sexy Dorothy Wizard of Oz costume consists of a blue gingham short dress, with the corset-like, front laced top. It has a puffed sleeves shirt and a small attached apron too. The above mentioned pair of stockings goes very well with this outfit too. Another costume plays the same cards, but the laces from the corset as well as the apron are bigger, and the lower part of the dress is puffier. The shoulders are covered here.
Dorothy's red shoes could not have been forgotten. But instead of buying new ones, you can have a red cover for your own pair of shoes. It is more convenient this way. The covers have shiny red sequins and a big red bow on each of them.
