"Hi I'm Betty Ingham and I'm speaking on behalf of Expert Village. Many times when you move into a Victorian home there won't be many closets. Because in those days they had 3 sets of clothing; they had a church outfit, they had their working overalls, and then they had what they put on after they got off of work in the evening late. Their attire for the evening or going to bed so what we have done is you can get a wardrobe inexpensively at an antique store, take the paint off and it would be beautiful. However my husband build these and he build these in cedar lined them and it would keep lots of your clothes in addition, to very very small closets that they put into the Victorians homes. They hold some but not probably all of your clothes now a days, so that's how you can eliminate that problem if not enough closet space."
