A WOMAN has shared how her mum has so many clothes that she now has to keep them outside in a storage unit in the garden.
Nurse Matilda, who is based in Australia, showed how the large metal unit is full of racks upon racks of incredible clothes.

The storage solution has impressed many fashion lovers, with some hailing it as the wardrobe of their dreams.
On her @matildal2, the impressed daughter wrote: “when your mum is a farmers wife but loves her fashion.
“POV you always have something to wear.”
Inside the storage unit was a treasure trove of beautiful dresses, from long colourful maxi dresses to more formal wedding guest style ensembles.
Matilda couldn’t resist doing a try-on of some of the most incredible outfits, and people were amazed.
One wrote: “Okay she’s not a regular mum, she’s a cool mum!!!”
A second added: “I aspire to be like your mum, that style.”
Meanwhile, a third commented: “Oki this has now solved my clothes obsession I’ll just buy a container.”
Some people questioned how the clothes don’t get mouldy or ruined being stored out of the house.
In Matilda’s clip some of the dresses can be seen stored in clear plastic dress bags, to keep them in a pristine condition.
If you are considering keeping clothes in a shed it can be tricky, especially in the UK.
This is because sheds are usually not insulated or climate-controlled.
If the shed is exposed to humidity, temperature fluctuations, or poor ventilation, clothes can develop mould, mildew, and musty smells over time.
If you do want to keep overflow clothes in a shed or out building, plastic bins with tight lids can help protect against moisture, dust, and pests.
You should avoid cardboard boxes, as they absorb moisture and attract insects.
Clothes should be kept off the ground using shelves or raised pallets to prevent exposure to cold and damp conditions.
And you should check on the clothes every few months to catch any signs of mould, pests, or damage early.
Finally, you should use silica gel packets, charcoal, or moisture-absorbing product to reduce humidity.
How to look chic on a budget
Fashion stylist Gemma Rose Breger, and beauty journalist Samantha Silver revealed how you can make your outfits elevated without spending hundreds of pounds.
- Don’t ever spend on designer denim: River Island ”always has such a great selection of fashion-forward jeans that follow the current trends”. The high street retailer offers a great range of sizes to fit UK 6 – UK 18, and three leg lengths – and prices start from an affordable £25.
- There are no rules for jewels: ”Pick up something at a car boot sale, or charity shop, scroll on Vinted & eBay, snap up something from the clothing section in your local supermarket when doing the food shop or check out high street clothing stores.”
- Don’t forget the pre-loved sites: With a rising number of second-hand sites, such as Vinted and Depop, there’s no excuse for not buying – or selling – pre-loved garments. Gemma, for instance, has managed to get her hands on chic Chanel sunnies for a mere £17.
