A dressing aid for suspending a lower garment from an upper garment is disclosed herein comprising a band and a pair of clips, with one clip connected to each end of the band. Each clip comprises a pair of arms each having a handle at a first end and a jaw at a second end, a pivoting means, and a means for biasing the jaws to the closed position. One may engage a garment using the clip by squeezing together the handles such that the jaws separate, then releasing the handles to close the jaws about a garment positioned therebetween. It is contemplated that one will employ the present apparatus to aid in donning a lower garment using the following steps: assuming a seated position with the lower garment pulled up past one's knees; manually squeezing the handles of one clip together to separate its jaws, positioning the jaws about a portion of the upper garment and then releasing the handles to close the jaws and engage the upper garment; manually squeezing the handles of the other clip together to separate its jaws and to likewise engage a portion of the lower garment; and finally standing erect, with the lower garment suspended from said upper garment, and fastening the lower garment into place.
