Abstract
In order to maintain the shape of a folded garment, and to hold it in the folded position, there is provided a display device comprising a first support element adapted to extend across the shoulders of the garment at the back, a second support element adapted to enter the neck of the garment in the area of the shoulders so as to hold the garment in position, and a pair of bars about which the sleeves may be folded so as to lie generally parallel with the sides of the garments and with each other. The support element also includes a pair of clips or latches which retain a lower marginal portion of the garment when the latter is folded up. For particular effectiveness in maintaining the shape and ease of folding, there is preferably also provided a generally rectangular frame comprising side frame elements and a bottom frame element which assists in the folding up of the lower marginal portion.
