The iconic blue and white gingham outfit worn by Judy Garland in the 1939 cinema classic, The Wizard Of Oz is set to go up for auction.

Garland wore a white, puff-ball blouse and blue gingham pinafore to play Dorothy in the 1939 film and the costume has become one of the most famous in cinema history, along with her equally iconic red shoes.

The original outfit is now set to go under the hammer next month and is expected to raise $US500,000 (roughly the same in Australian dollars). The red shoes are on display in the Smithsonian Institution's Museum of American History in Washington DC.

Garland's costume is one of several identical outfits made for the movie, but the only one to have been seen on film and the only complete version to have survived intact.

The outfit will be displayed at the Stafford Hotel in London from Tuesday, before being exhibited at Julien's Auctions in Beverly Hills, California, ahead of the sale on November 10 - a few days after the United States Presidential election.
