try going to a fabric store and look for a blue and white gingham print. its a print with blue and white little squares. it is hard for me to explain. you can probably try a costume store too that will have a good version of a dorothy dress too. see here is one i found, you can also see the fabric that i was trying to explain

Blue Dorothy Dress

I would say aqua
----Judy Garland's dress and blouse were in reality not white but pale pink. True white did not photograph properly in Technicolor and made the blue of her checked dress seem too bright. Some sources say that the transition between Dorothy's house (in sepia tone) and Munchkinland (in color) was achieved by the substitution of a stand-in wearing a dress that had been dyed to appear as if it were sepia tone itself. This would seem plausible, given that Dorothy walks completely off camera as the sepia tone section ends, and then back on again after the color section has already begun. However, others say that this effect was achieved in post-production, when individual frames were painstakingly hand-stenciled in sepia using a technique similar to hand-coloring used in the silent film era. It may well be a combination of both.

I believe it was a dark tone of a baby blue. I also think it was a gingham check, this would make sense for the time period as well. You can look up Wizard of Oz on the internet, I'll bet you will find some pictures that might help. Good luck.

I would say the color is cobalt- maybe a LITTLE brighter. The size of the squares are probably about 2/16" x 2/16" There is a link to a picture and a display of different blues, cobalt is in the left column.

It's a sky blue with white checkers. Blue and white. HOPE THIS HELPS!!!! Actually, maybe you could use Yahoo's search engine to see what Dorothy's dress looks like to get very accurate!!! Good Luck and God Bless!!

It's great you are so intrested!!!!
The colour of the dress is a really nice baby blue. The dress also has little white checks, these measure about 2cm by 2cm.
Good Luck!!
