• an elongate rigid sheet-like base element having a length less than 15 cm;
• a first fastener secured at one end area of the base element, said first fastener including a clamping jaw comprising opposed jaw sides movable towards and away from each other for closing and opening the jaw, said clamping jaw being openable in a longitudinal direction extending towards a first end of the base element so as to permit reception therein of an upper edge area of a first garment in an upward direction in use;
• at least one side of the clamping jaw of said first fastener being rigidly associated with the base element;
• and
• a second fastener secured at the opposite end area of the base element and being located on the base element so as to not to overlie said first fastener, said second fastener being arranged to grip a second garment in use at a location along the base element longitudinally spaced from said first fastener and at a lower position on the base element from the first fastener when the support device is in use with the base element in a generally vertical position, whereby a lower section of an upper garment may be secured to the base element inside a lower garment by the second fastener while the lower garment is secured to the base element by the first fastener.
