Abstract

A garment dryer having a plurality of segments which are connected together to form the shape of a garment. The garment dryer has a body assembly having two or more body segments to which is connected a pair of extremity assemblies, each of which may be formed in two or more parts. The extremity assemblies may be either arm assemblies or leg assemblies, or both. The arm assemblies may be used with the body assembly to dry garments such as sweaters and sweatshirts. The leg assemblies may be used with the body assembly to dry garments such as pants. The arm and leg assemblies could be used together with the body assembly to dry garments such as jumpsuits. A garment is placed over the assembled garment dryer and is allowed to dry by hanging it either vertically or horizontally. Each of the segments of the garment dryer will nest within one of the other segments so that the entire garment dryer can be compactly stored.
