About

My name is Gwendolyn Lilliette Garland. I am an avid collector of antique Victorian/Edwardian fashions. Every year I purchase a few more pieces to add to my collection. Often the question I hear is, “where do you wear these gowns?”  You will spot me at my second home, the Magic Castle in Hollywood as I am a member and am known for my gowns there. I  also wear my gowns on holidays, special occasions, and of course photo shoots!

I spend hours restoring, preserving, and studying clothing from the Victorian and Edwardian era. The process is slow, but the result is always magical. The moment the gown is placed around my body, I am transported to another time and place. This is where time travel becomes real! 

Along with my collection, I engage in many other hobbies including, dancing, music video editing, art, and writing, (currently I have a completed historical fantasy manuscript I hope to one day publish into a trilogy)

My most recent hobby starting in June 2024, will be to take magic classes at Magic University at the Magic Castle. I will be an Edwardian magician writer, and so much more!

Enjoy my world of antique fashions, photo shoots, videos, and be transported to another time and place!
