Post by Admin Saovaluck on 14^th Apr, 2014 at 8:33am

This is a custom-made size 5B base shoes that we will use for our next pair of ruby slippers, and they will be for sale so feel free to get in touch with us early for a quote.

You won't find the shape of this base shoes anywhere else except with us if you are looking for accuracy because the thin (but not slutty) heels and toes matches the pair that Judy Garland as Dorothy wore in Munchkinland, the best pair used in The Wizard of Oz.

We specialize in high quality, hand-sewn ruby slippers to represent the original design way back in 1938 to fit Miss Garland, so every Wizard of Oz fan should really try to get hold of our ruby slippers if they can.

Stay tuned to this thread to keep yourself up-to-date with another gorgeous pair of ruby slippers.

A bit of an update with our ruby slippers. It's going along smoothly and the sequining process is looking nice so far.

I have to cover the entire shoes with sequins by sewing them on individually so there's many hours of hard work and dedication to the job at hand.

She is a beauty, the shoes that is.

One shoe is finished so I'm half way there. This is another masterpiece work so far.

I have to start all over again on the other shoe so I'm ready to get started. These things can drive you crazy if your heart isn't in it because you're dealing with thousands of sequins that you have to sew. Speaking of sequins, our company always use red metallic because this is the type used on the original ruby slippers.

The sequins look standard red with the shine and sparkle in sunlight or lots of lighting, and they appear dark red in low light conditions.

As an experienced ruby slipper artist, it should take me 1 or 2 weeks to finish the left shoe. So here we go ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, the finish line is in sight and one lucky person will own this beautiful pair of Judy Garland's ruby slippers.

This is stitching at its best. The toe area is pretty much done and Judy Garland's magical ruby slippers is looking like a million dollars. There's still many hours of hard labor ahead to get this project done.

Please note that the bows are also hand-sewn, so they are some of the highest quality bows out there.

After toiling for weeks, this high quality pair of ruby slippers is finished. Another job well done by JudyGarlandsRubySlippers.com

Superstar singer-actress in Judy Garland as Dorothy walked proudly in a near identical pair to these on The Yellow Brick Road.

This is a genuine handmade and hand-sewn replica ruby slippers constructed the same way as the $3 million pair sitting at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.

Another gorgeous pair of ruby slippers will be leaving us soon.

In Lao and Thai language, the ruby slippers is called "Gerp Tup Tim". Gerp stands for shoes and Tup Tim is the ruby. I am very passionate about the ruby slippers, these things are hard and time-consuming to craft and only very few people in the world have the ability to do so.

I'll miss this pair like I miss every pair that is gone, and I hope they bring lots of magic, happiness and success to the new owner.

When making bows for the ruby slippers, I like to keep the length of my bows to around 2 inches which is 5 cm in the metric system, the same size as the bows on the original ruby slippers. You don't want the leather to be too thick either. 1 millimetre or less in height gives the bows a more authentic look.

I've seen a lot of bows that are too big, both its length and width. Bows is a very important component of the ruby slippers and they need to look the right way.
