The device is for use with a portable dryer of the type having a handle, internal fan, and nozzle from which heated air is blown. The device comprises an inflatable member capable of being hung and having a body portion comprised of an air permeable fabric, a sealing member for sealingly engaging the nozzle so that the nozzle is in communication with the interior of the inflatable member, and a fastener for securing the portable dryer in a fixed position relative to the inflatable member. The inflatable member is maintained in an inflated state by a continuous flow of heated air from the nozzle of the dryer. According to one aspect of the invention, the body portion of the inflatable member fits within and in contact with the article of clothing. According to another aspect, a flexible member has a jacket portion which is shaped and sized to allow at least one article of clothing to be positioned and removably secured between it and the body portion of the inflatable member.
