Apparently the bit about wearing dresses so tight she had to take mincing steps when she walked is plagiarized from http://www.crimelibrary.com/notorious_murders/classics/root/1.html --arkuat (talk) 00:49, 30 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

The following passages have been removed from the main article due to being cite-needed tagged for several months without anyone providing any. If you can provide the needed citation from a reliable source, please do so and re-integrate the passage into the main article. As their factuality has been challenged for some time, they should not be restored without the needed citation.Alvis 08:05, 20 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Root also became known for her dramatic wardrobe, which featured hats, purple dresses and high collars. Gladys Towles Root wore dresses so tight she had to take mincing steps when she walked. She loved to drape herself in furs and cover herself with sequins. Her hats were famously gigantic and so was her jewelry. Under those hats, her hair was often colored a gaudy hue to match her outfits, with Mercurochrome and Easter egg dye. A cloud of perfume always drifted in her wake.[citation needed]
