Contest judging for July - "representative of the story"

@Kevin-Longueil It could be the cover for a yet to be released edition of the book. I bet transforming Wizard of Oz into a boss robot world would get Jake to put it into top 16.

@Kevin-Longueil does Dorothy have a blue dress in the book? Asking for a friend . I was thinking of using a different color than blue but wasn't sure.... I suppose artistic licence could prevail but I haven't read the book either

@Coley Here's a description of Dorothy's outfit from Chapter 3 of the book (she changes into these clothes once she gets to Oz):

Dorothy had only one other dress, but that happened to be clean and was hanging on a peg beside her bed. It was gingham, with checks of white and blue; and although the blue was somewhat faded with many washings, it was still a pretty frock. The girl washed herself carefully, dressed herself in the clean gingham, and tied her pink sunbonnet on her head. She took a little basket and filled it with bread from the cupboard, laying a white cloth over the top. Then she looked down at her feet and noticed how old and worn her shoes were.

“They surely will never do for a long journey, Toto,” she said. And Toto looked up into her face with his little black eyes and wagged his tail to show he knew what she meant.

At that moment Dorothy saw lying on the table the silver shoes that had belonged to the Witch of the East.

“I wonder if they will fit me,” she said to Toto. “They would be just the thing to take a long walk in, for they could not wear out.”

She took off her old leather shoes and tried on the silver ones, which fitted her as well as if they had been made for her.

Finally she picked up her basket.

“Come along, Toto,” she said. “We will go to the Emerald City and ask the Great Oz how to get back to Kansas again.”

@Coley Dorothy has a gingham dress, blue and white checked. The munchkins were very impressed because white meant she was a sorceress and they thought blue was very kind of her to wear because it was the favorite color of munchkinland. So it worked out well for her starting out her journey.

Thanks so much @carriecopadraws and @carolinebautista

@Coley Blue and white gingham is it - Looks like @carriecopadraws has it covered! the only thing i might add it that she lived in a one room house - this might be important to folks that were showing Dorothy's house in the illustration.

@Coley she does change into a green dress in Emerald City which turns out to be white when she leaves. But most of it she's wearing the blue and white gingham farmer girl dress

Thanks @carrieannebrown and @Kevin-Longueil
