There’s one in the Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle (and a few other pieces too). It’s honestly startling how SMALL that dress is. I know Garland got berated about her weight while filming Wizard of Oz, but boy that really drives home how tiny she was expected to be.

This could make for a hefty bonus for the University’s Provost.

Eerie how closely reality tracks the quotation from the movie:

"Everything you were looking for was right there with you all along, in a shoebox in a bag on top of a bunch of mailboxes."
