A pair of authentic hand-sewn ruby slipper bows have been crafted for this project.

The Art Deco jewels are custom made. Notice the "V" cuts on the sides of the rectangular glass stones, which is exactly the same cuts found on the original stones.

Beautiful pair of wearable Australian women's size 9 shoes is finish.

Our shoes is handmade from scratch to look brand new, and match the exact 1930's style shape worn by Judy Garland as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz.

Heat embossed golden Innes Shoe Company label reading "Innes Shoe Co., Los Angeles, Pasadena, Hollywood" is inserted in the right shoe.

Sequining is under way on the big right shoe in Australian women's size 9.

Every sequin is sewn by hand directly onto the shoe in meticulous detail so it's a very time-consuming process.

Even though this pair of shoes is bigger than Judy Garland's size 5B US, we are still using the same size sequins used on the original ruby slippers.
