She also wears small blue socks that are bluish-grey, a white button shirt with a blue dress with a sort of checkered pattern over the top that has straps and her dress is the same colour as her socks.

∙ 14y agoIn the original book by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 6, 1919], Dorothy Gale wears leather shoes. After her house lands in the beautiful, enchanted, magical land of Oz, she notices how old and worn her shoes are. That's why she decides to wear the Slippers of the Wicked Witch of the East. Those slippers are silver in the original book version of the story. But in the beloved 1939 film version, they're ruby.

∙ 13y agoI too was interested in this question and after MUCH research I found the following information (from the daughter of someone who worked in the wardrobe department) during the filming of The Wizard of Oz.
Margaret Hamilton was actually a very short and tiny woman. In order for her to appear taller and more "witchy" she wore a pair of 4 inch black velvet stilettos. As far as I can tell the shoes have been lost to history.
