Abstract
Abstract A garment hanger adapted to give desired shape to shoulders of a garment suspended thereon and having strength to resist deformation by weight of the garment is formed of a material having little resistance to bending stresses, e.g., foamed polystyrene. Typical means to impart strength include a clip retaining bottom edges of the form together affixed to the lower end of a shank extending through the top of the form to a hook thereabove.
