I had a wedding to attend, and to fly with my bridesmaid dress required buying a garment bag. Well, I went into a local department store and was absolutely horrified that the least expensive bag was $99, and the one that I liked the best was $169 on sale. Yeah right! So I went to Great Offer Stock and found this bag and thought, well, why not? For my purposes, the bag worked nicely, my dress arrived safe and sound. I think it will hold up well, though only time and more frequent use will tell for sure.
