Welcome to this forum thread as we embark on another fascinating project with Judy Garland's ruby slippers.

Our next pair of ruby slippers will begin in February and they will be different to what we normally make. This project will involve a limited edition ruby slippers using dark red (burgundy) metallic sequins, and this maybe the only time you'll see us craft a dark version of the ruby slippers.

We have some dark red sequins enough to make only one pair of ruby slippers and decided to use them. We don't plan to pursue with dark red ruby slippers after this project because we love red the most of all, and red shoes is a girls color, whereas dark red shoes is more suited for elderly women.

Randy Struthers will be making the bows for us. The reason being is because we don't have the materials required to make a dark set of bows. We always make bows for our ruby slippers, but on this occasion we will be using his bows for the first time and it's very nice of him to help. Randy is well-known in the ruby slipper community because he likes to put his name out there and credit his work, while very few people have heard about us since we enjoy staying low-key.

Again this will be the only time you will see us make dark red ruby slippers, and you've got some of the very best ruby slipper makers in the world involved in this unique project, so there is an opportunity for one lucky buyer to own this special limited edition pair of ruby slippers.

For information on how you can purchase this limited edition pair of ruby slippers, please email us, or you can send us a private message on Facebook.

This is a pair of shoes that will eventually turn into a pair of dark red ruby slippers. They are custom-made to an American size 5B which is Judy Garland's shoes size, and the 1930's style shape is perfect. The long heels and pointy toes gives that sexy look about them, and matches the best pair Judy Garland as Dorothy wore in the movie.

The bottom of the shoes has been painted glossy burgundy. The right shoe has been stamped in gold reading "Innes Shoe Co., Los Angeles, Pasadena, Hollywood", and both shoe has the writing "#7 Judy Garland".

The shoes is set and ready for the long sequining work.

We have done a lot of work with the right shoe and we couldn't be happier with the progress, the stitching is beautiful.

Again we've used a test bow. The pair of bows that Randy Struthers made for this pair of ruby slippers will arrive soon.

Indescribable beauty, this is the kind of ruby slippers any Oz and Judy Garland fan would die for.

The perfect sequining continues on the left shoe as our project with this limited edition pair past the halfway point.

The sequins overlap each other in an orderly fashion and there's no loose sequin whatsoever. Every sequin is attached to the shoes very firm and tight with a strong thread so this high quality pair of ruby slippers should last a very long time.

Once again, these bows will not be used on this pair of ruby slippers.

The pair of bows for Judy Garland's limited edition ruby slippers has arrived.

We expected to receive a beautiful pair of bows from America's Randy Struthers, and he has delivered the excellent work that we know he is capable of doing. They are stunning and they are burgundy which will go perfect with our burgundy ruby slippers.

From our experience, it's never easy to make hand-sewn bows, it takes a lot of your time because they contain many small pieces that you need to sew, so we appreciate his precious time and help.

This $2,000 USD pair of ruby slippers is finished, and they have been sold to a dedicated fan.

It's been a joy working with a dark pair of ruby slippers and that's pretty much the end of it because we will be focusing on red ruby slippers from here on in. The burgundy ruby slippers turned out beautiful than we thought they would.

Our ruby slippers are always crafted in dedication to Judy Garland, so there's something magical about them. We hope this stunning pair of ruby slippers will bring happiness, good health and lots of money flowing in to the proud owner.
