(CNN) A dress believed to have been worn by Judy Garland as Dorothy in the classic 1939 movie "The Wizard of Oz" has been found on top of mailboxes in a university drama department. The Catholic University of America, in Washington DC, said in a release on Thursday that the dress had been missing for many years after being gifted in the early 1970s. Inside was a shoebox, and inside the shoebox was the dress! "My co-worker and I quickly grabbed some gloves and looked at the dress and took some pictures before putting it back in the box and heading over to the (University) Archives. Needless to say, I have found many interesting things in Hartke during my time at Catholic University, but I think this one takes the cake!"
