"A dress worn by Judy Garland in the film The Wizard of Oz has sold for $480,000 (\u00C2\u00A3302,000) at auction. The blue and white gingham pinafore was one of seven identical costumes made for the 1939 classic and worn by the actress during filming.   The piece - made by renowned MGM costume designer Adrian Greenberg - was sold to an unnamed buyer yesterday (November 10) at Julien&amp;#039;s Auctions in Beverley Hills.  Reuters reports that a similar dress, worn by Garland during test shoots, fetched $910,000 (\u00C2\u00A3572,000) at an auction last year. Auctioneer Darren Julien explained that the item sold for a much higher price as there were far fewer test dresses made. Further sales at the Julien auction included a green floral dress worn by Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music (which fetched $38,400, \u00C2\u00A324,000), a racing jacket belonging to Steve McQueen (snapped up for $50,000, \u00C2\u00A331,400) and a purple woollen skirt worn by Marilyn Monroe in River of No Return, which also went for $50,000. Slices of cake from two royal weddings were also up for grabs. A piece from Prince William and Kate Middleton&amp;#039;s 2011 wedding along with a slice from Prince Charles and Princess Diana&amp;#039;s 1981 nuptials went for $1,375 (\u00C2\u00A3864). Another of Garland&amp;#039;s Dorothy dresses is currently on display at London&amp;#039;s Victoria and Albert Museum as part of the Hollywood Costume exhibition. The exhibition runs at the V&amp;amp;A until January 27, 2013. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
