The blue dress Judy Garland wore as she walked the yellow brick road and looked for the Wizard of Oz sold in auction for $480,000, according to The Associated Press.

Auction house Julien's Auctions said the blue and white pinafore dress from "The Wizard of Oz" sold for the highest price of any item during a two-day auction of Hollywood memorabilia that ended Saturday in Beverly Hills, Calif. The buyer has not been identified.

Other items sold at the auction included a purple skirt Marilyn Monroe wore while filming "River of No Return," a green floral dress Julie Andrews wore in "The Sound of Music," which sold for $38,400, and slices from both Prince William and Kate Middleton's, and Prince Charles and Princess Diana's wedding cakes. The other half of Garland's famous outfit in the film, the ruby red slippers, sold in an auction last year for a whopping $2 million.

A similar dress worn during tests for the 1939 "Oz" film fetched $910,000 in 2011, Reuters reported. The difference in price was due to the fact that fewer versions of the test dress were made.

As far as selling prices go for iconic dresses, Garland's outift ranked low in comparison to Monroe's white "subway dress" from the 1955 film "The Seven Year Itch," which sold for $4.6 million last year, and the $3.7 million spent on the Audrey Hepburn's Ascot dress from "My Fair Lady."

"The Wizard of Oz" is a classic that won two Oscars in 1940, and in 2006 and 2009 the film won awards for its DVD release. It took home the 2006 Saturn Award from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films for Best Classic Film DVD Release, and then the Best DVD Award by the Las Vegas Film Critics Society in 2009.

Garland died in 1967 at the age of 47.
