The Wizard of Oz (1939), Replica Ruby Slippers 2012

replica movie costume

These replica ruby slippers were hand sewn and crafted using the same basic technique employed by MGM studio to create the original slippers worn by Judy Garland in the 1939 MGM film "The Wizard of Oz." Vintage Belgian wine metallic gelatin sequins were individually sewn onto a ruby silk taffeta fabric overlay, which was then attached to a vintage pair of 1930s size 6 ladies' pumps. The base shoes used for this pair of replicas were formerly used as prop shoes in the HBO series "Mildred Pierce" starring Kate Winslet.  The interior lining of the shoes is vintage French or Italian kid leather.  The jeweled bows were created using strap leather, vintage Swarovski ruby 4mm rose montees, dark red bugle beads, and lab ruby jewel stones.  Please see my video at the shoes on YouTube.  Please Note:  I do not create replica ruby slippers for sale.
