The Dorothy costume includes directions for the dress, ruby slippers, panties and petticoat.

Dorothy's blue gingham frock has the look of a pinafore over a white blouse but in fact it is made in one piece. The neck of the bodice is gathered into a rouleau collar, which is trimmed with blue rickrack as are the sleeves. The dress buttons down the back and has a full dirndl skirt.

Dorothy's slippers

In the movie Dorothy's ruby slippers grant her a wish when she clicks her heels together. These slippers are made from leather and red flitter glue adds the sparkle. (In the original story Dorothy's ruby slippers were silver shoes. They were all that was left of the Wicked Witch of the East when Dorothy's house landed on her.)

Dorothy's panties are made from one piece of calico. They have an elasticized waist and lace trim at the leg openings. Dorothy's petticoat buttons at the shoulders and has a simple lace trim at the hemline.

Just to refresh your memory on the story of the Wizard of Oz, here is a quote from the book "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz: 100th Anniversary Edition" by L. Frank Baum. The books starts off:

Dorothy lived in the midst of the great Kansas prairies, with Uncle Henry, who was a farmer, and Aunt Em, who was the farmer's wife. Their house was small, for the lumber to build it had to be carried by wagon many miles. There were four walls, a floor and a roof, which made one room; and this room contained a rusty looking cooking stove, a cupboard for the dishes, a table, three or four chairs, and the beds. Uncle Henry and Aunt Em had a big bed in one corner, and Dorothy a little bed in another corner. There was no garret at all, and no cellar---except a small hole, dug in the ground, called a cyclone cellar, where the family could go in case one of those great whirlwinds arose, mighty enough to crush any building in its path. It was reached by a trap-door in the middle of the floor, from which a ladder led down into the small, dark hole.
