Abstract: A garment retainer includes a saddle member having an open channel which is disposed over a garment folded over the crossbar of a conventional clothes hanger. At least two resilient members have portions which span the open channel and which are urged into said channel by the crossbar when a downward pressure is exerted on the retainer via the compression of a pair of flexible strips which are part of the retainer and which engage a portion of the hanger above the crossbar, whereby a pressure is exerted on the garment so that said garment is retained on the hanger without sliding or wrinkling thereon.
