Man, 83, wins legions of female fans reveals he bought his wife 55,000 designer dresses because he ‘never wanted to see her in the same one twice’

A DEVOTED husband has revealed that he bought his wife 55,000 designer dresses - because he "never wanted to see her in the same one twice".

Paul Brockmann, 83, keeps the gowns in his and wife Margot's garage in East Mesa, Arizona, a specially-designed closet and three 50-foot-long containers.

In a video, Paul explains that he began his collection after meeting Margot at a dance hall in their native Germany.

Margot says: "I had a pretty nice dress on, according to him," before Paul adds: "We danced all night, and we fell in love that night."

He's gifted her with dresses throughout their 61-year marriage - most secondhand and vintage - in keeping with his love for 1950s fashion.

"That's the time when they had wide skirts and petticoats," he says.

Paul bought most of his dresses at garage sales and closeouts, and at one time had a deal with American department store Sears.

He says: "When the styles were changing, they would call me up and sell me the dresses at a very reasonable price."

But despite his love for dress shopping, Paul decided to give up his habit in 2014, when the couple ran out of room.

They've now sold over 7,000 pieces, and are looking to sell the rest of the collection en masse.

However, Paul is keeping 200 special items back for Margot, stating that they're "not for sale".

So what does Margot think of all this? Well, Paul admits: "She's not that much into dresses."

Nevertheless, people are completely enamoured with Paul's story.

Comments on include: "I want to marry him!" and: "Lucky wife! He's so sweet!"
