Garland's dress fetches £140,000
A blue and white gingham dress worn by Judy Garland in The Wizard Of Oz has fetched £140,000 ($266,000) at an auction in London. The dress, which was purchased by an unnamed phone buyer, had been expected to fetch £35,000.
Custom-made for 17-year-old Garland in 1939, the frock has a 27-inch waist and her name sewn on the inside hem.

Would you buy it? Or would you go for something else if it were availible?
As for your's truly - I'd love to get ahold of the yellow sundress and pumps Kim Bassinger wore in the last scene of "LA Confidential." She's giving up her life as a high priced call girl and returning to her hometown in Arizona to open up a dress shop - with Russel Crow no less.
Of course I'd take the other $250,000 and head over to Victoria's Secret.
