The famous dress worn by Judy Garland in her role as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz has sold for US$1.56 million ($2.37 million NZ) at a New York auction.

With sweat stains around the neck, the dress was snapped up by an unidentified bidder. The costume is believed to be 1 of only 2 of the dresses worn by Judy during the filming.

The same dress was sold in 2012 at auction for $490000 ($744426 NZ) and last year the Cowardly Lion costume from the same movie sold for almost $3.1 million ($4.7 million NZ).
