The finished ruby slipper bow, check it out in comparison with the bows that Judy Garland as Dorothy wore in The Wizard of Oz. It looks pretty much identical.

I take great pride in making sure the jewels are perfectly aligned, particularly the rhinestones that makes the pattern of the bow. I always allow some extra edge beyond the rhinestones so that there is a bit of silk fabric, this is exactly the way the bows on the original ruby slippers were made too.

I didn't want to dye the leather red and leave it as it is, simply because I want it to be visible on the sides and not camouflaged with the fabric. The face of the bow is more important because this is where people look and I'm very satisfied with the result.

I didn't know it was in different colour in the movie. I think we can spot it out in 'The Wizard of Oz in 3D'.
By the way anybody is watching the movie in this week?
Anyway I cannot watch it in my living town, but I hope it will come to my local cinema soon.

If anybody watched it on IMAX Screen, I hope you will share the fun

I spent all day sewing and I also started on another bow. I still have a long way to go before this one is done, but it's looking nice so far.

See how neat and straight the rhinestone montees are stitched to the silk fabric? Presentation is very important when making bows because it is the main focal point of the ruby slippers.

It looks marvelous so far
Therefore, You are making three pair of ruby slipper?
And I see those pair of bows are not in same pattern design. The pair in top I cannot see. The pair in middle is designed vertical pattern. And the pair in bottom is horizontal pattern.

By the way, Is there a pair of ruby slipper in the glass cage bottom?

And... Too many idea...
Why don't you try other colour? I would make one pair in diamond version for my future wife's wedding dress. I don't know the Lao's cultural, so it may be in other form of colour. Is it a good idea?

This is the original bow on the size 5B ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland as Dorothy. If you look closely, you'll notice that the pattern and probably the number of the bugle beads on the left and right side of the bow is different. 

The bows were made very haphazardly just for the movie, and MGM didn't think that anyone would ever be looking at them up close, so the bugle beads were sewn into place without any real pattern in mind. As long as they shine and sparkle when filmed then it met their particular needs.

The rhinestones do not angle on the foil back stones, but sit close to each other. The original bows today are very old and they look different to when they were first made by MGM.

You're looking at a bow that is over 75 years old so some of the jewels may be slightly out of place, or even missing on some bows. When I make the bows, I try to replicate what they used to look like when they were worn by Judy Garland as Dorothy in 1939, and not how they appear today.
