Abstract

A garment frame for folding garments, such as suit jackets and trousers, to be packed into a suitcase, comprising a body formed by a plurality of thin and flat panels hinged together, to which a pair of elongated elasticized arms are attached. A suit jacket is draped over the body, which fills and lightly stretches the jacket when its breast buttons are buttoned, and the arms are inserted through the jacket sleeves, crisscross the body, and then are fastened thereto. Additional garments, such as trousers, may be hung on the body inside the jacket. Each panel may be folded into face-to-face relation with an adjoining panel, the arms being stretched around the outside of the folded body.
