An improved tool for assisting the application of a stocking to a user's leg is provided. The tool includes a pair of curvilinear arms with side rails mounted for lateral pivotal movement in a first plane between a closed position, wherein the side rails are in close proximity for receiving a stocking, and an open position, wherein the side rails are relatively spaced apart to outwardly stretch the stocking for application to the user's leg. An elongated bar having a tongue is mounted to the arms for pivotal movement in a second plane generally perpendicular to the first plane of movement. The tool further includes means operably coupled to the bar for moving the bar in the second plane between a disposition wherein the tongue is in close proximity with the rails when the tool in the closed position, and a disposition wherein the tongue is relatively spaced away from both rails when the tool is in the open position.
