This is only the second time I've heard the term "clothes horse."

Many years ago I briefly dated a chick that referred to herself that
way. She had clothes with the tags still on them packed in her living
room end tables. About half of her kitchen cabinets had clothes in
them. She had a few loose screws so the fling never went anywhere.

So do you know what the origin of that term is? I could never figure
it out.
