This is one of those fantasy-life products: for the life where we not only have enough money to buy a closet full of these hanger covers, but where our closets are airy and white and roomy enough to properly show them off. Sigh.
Available for $18 (we think that means each) at French General.

aren't those just covered wire? why would you want those? isn't wire is bad for your clothes?
Yep - that's $18 each, and over your wire hanger.
Someone should break out the sewing machine and DIY this...
Those would be ridiculously easy to make. Mind you, I don't quite understand the point. I guess they'd help protect your clothing if you decided to be thrifty and use wire hangers. Though at $18 a piece...there's nothing thrifty about it. For $18, you could buy enough fabric to make a bajillion of these (rough estimate..maybe just a million).
I have to say that they DO look much nicer than those terrible stuffed hanger covers you see every now and then.
My aunt made me 6 of these as a bridal shower gift and they're super cute. Very easy to do, also, I think. Some of the pattern companies have similar patterns, but all you'd really have to do is: trace a hanger onto butcher paper (or tracing paper or whatever you have laying around that's not newspaper), add in seam allowances, and treat that as a pattern. I'm guessing you could do this without any sewing abilities if you were good with glue.
martha stewart has diy instructions...

Those look like underpants on wire hangers! Froot of the Loom, anyone?
no - more like BVD
:-)
I make these for my closet when I'm in the mood to sew something simple. I've been gradually using up a large piece of gray wool melton cloth for the purpose.
But seriously, what's the point of it? Unless you're planning to display empty hangers?
I don't get it either...
They are a nice little extra for the closet. And ridiculously easy to make, I'm certain, for almost nothing. That stitch-witchery type stuff could stand in for any sewing needed. Cut, iron, et voila.
