Abstract: An improved laundry bag construction of generally trapezoidal configuration composed of a durable open-weave material, such as fine gauge nylon net, for secure but thorough machine-laundering and/or drying of articles made from delicate fabrics, such as hosiery or lingerie, is disclosed. The sides of the bag structure are of the same length as the width of the lower end of the bag and the lower end is on the order of two to three times the width of the bag's upper end. The open edges of the upper end of the bag are gathered and stitched to cloth bands which have a hook and thistle closure arrangement, such as that sold under the trademark VELCRO, one of which bands overlaps the other to effect secure sealing of the bag.
