Basically, garment bags have two purposes: One is to protect the fabric of your clothing from moisture, dust, and insects; The other purpose is to give the traveler the advantage of placing hanging garments into a piece of luggage that will keep them protected and with less wrinkles than having them folded in other suitcases. Either way, if the clothes are put in clean and ironed, they should ready to wear when you take them out.
At one store I found, the merchants sell a nice multi-purpose Garment Bag. For $20, it is an eco-friendly bag that will allow you to use it as a tote for taking laundry to the cleaners, as well as keeping them clean and protected in your closet, when you get them back. Totally a steal!
