A Texas woman loves to dress in vintage clothing, flaunting her “historic wardrobe” worth over $10,000.

After years of dressing modern, Gwendolyn Erin Patterson, 25, from Dallas, now refuses to leave her house without sporting glamorous attire from the World War II era. With a wardrobe straight out of a 1940s fashion magazine, Gwendolyn now owns over 50 vintage hats, 60 bags, 75 dresses, and even a tailored suit designed by the original “Wizard of Oz” costume designer.

1940s Fashion Women

Women’s dress in the 1940s was commonly modelled after the functional clothing produced during wartime rations. The newest fashions were square shoulders, slim hips, and skirts that hung just below the knee. Many people wore custom suits.
