The Real Ruby Slippers

There were several pairs of Ruby Slippers used by 16 year old, Judy Garland.  This particular pair have felt bottoms, which suggest that they were used for dance sequences.  They are made of regular dance shoes, covered in a mesh that allowed the sequins to be sewn on.  The combination of the mesh and the sequins allowed the shoes to sparkle.
