Claim:
A garment organizing assembly for use with travel, the garment organizing assembly comprising: a support panel assembly, the support panel assembly comprising peripheral support means and centralized flexible support material, the peripheral support means comprising a frame-providing structural member for maintaining a substantially planar, rectangular support panel periphery with four first panel rounded corners, and a support-sheathing structure for covering and concealing the frame-providing structural member the substantially planar support panel periphery comprising a support panel length and a support panel width, the support panel assembly thus comprising first and second opposed side edges and first and second opposed end edges, the first panel rounded corners each comprising a first radius of curvature and an arc length, the arc lengths each comprising arc length termini, the centralized flexible support material for supporting garmentry placed thereupon; a restraint panel assembly, the restraint panel assembly comprising an outer elastic periphery-defining element, first, second and third element-sheathing structures for respectively covering and concealing portions of the outer elastic periphery-defining element, and centralized flexible restraint material, the first, second and third element-sheathing structures respectively covering and concealing portions of the outer elastic periphery-defining element, thereby exposing first and second hook-engaging portions, the centralized flexible restraint material for restraining garmentry supported by the centralized flexible support material; and panel attachment means for removably attaching a first end of the restraint panel assembly to the first side edge, and for permanently attaching a second end of the restraint panel assembly to the second side edge, the panel attachment means for removably attaching the first end of the restraint panel assembly to the first side edge being defined by first and second hook assemblies permanently attached to the first side edge adjacent the rounded corners at the arc opposed arc length termini and extending inwardly from the support panel periphery, the outer elastic periphery-defining element being elastically actuatable such that the first and second hook-engaging portions engage the first and second hook assemblies, the outer elastic periphery-defining element thereby defining a substantially rectangular restraint panel extending centrally and widthwise across the support panel assembly, the rectangular restraint panel comprising a restraint panel length and a restraint panel width, the restraint panel length being lesser in magnitude than the support panel width.
