A garment hanger having a generally central portion and a pair of garment support arms extending therefrom, the support arms each having a movable part slidably connected to the central portion for reciprocal movement to increase or decrease the length of the arms, characterized by inwards ends of the movable parts being connected by at least one flexible link member constrained against movement other than in line with the movable parts of the arms and arranged to reverse direction once from its connection to one inwards end to its connection to the other inwards end, such that extending movement of the movable part of one arm causes extending movement of the movable part of the other arm and pushing the movable part of one arm inwards causes retraction of the moveable part of the other arm.
