Abstract
A garment hanger includes an elongated, generally planar body having opposite ends and front and rear surfaces. A clamp is joined adjacent each end of the body with the body defining a wing which extends beyond the clamp. Each clamp includes first and second clamp members hingedly joined to the body adjacent an upper edge thereof. Each clamp member defines a clamping surface which is moveable in an opposed, generally abutting relationship with the clamp members overlying the front and rear surfaces of the body. A support hook is joined to the body intermediate the ends thereof. The garment hanger body is insertable inside the waistband of a pair of slacks, a skirt or the like. The clamp members are moved to a closed position engaging front and back surfaces of the garment. In use, only the front and back clamp members and the support hook are visible, and the hanger does not detract from the visual presentation of the garment.
