Abstract

Stocking holder apparatus includes a flexible wire frame on which a stocking is placed and is held in place while a user inserts a foot into the stocking. The frame supports the stocking so that the toe of the stocking is accessible to the user of the apparatus. The user makes contact with the toe of the stocking first, and the user's foot moves downwardly through the frame such that the stocking slides off of the frame and onto the user's leg.
