Your own homemade Ruby Slippers from Wicked the Musical

Get out your needle and thread, your thimble and your… sequins, and get those clicking heels warmed up.

Too much? Well I have to say, this is why they invented the internet. Chloe Bates, a teenage fashion entrepreneur, started a company earlier this year called “makebelieveland.com“, in which she sells costumes and patterns for costumes she designs, as well as… ruby slippers. And emerald slippers. That’s a collection pictured above from Chloe’s Wizard of Oz ruby slippers line.

Written up on her site is a charming press release about how she came to form the company–it’s very well-written, and the website is cute. And definitely pink.

She was apparently making her own ruby slippers for sale, as she does with much of her stuff, but the demand grew too large and she now sells the instructions online for $6 a pop. So with a little work and a lot of sequins… there’s no place like home. Check out Chloe’s homepage for Dorothy’s ruby slippers here, and see for yourself. Her Halloween costumes are great as well, she’s got a little pumpinhead one for kids.
