Abstract: The disclosure is a learn-to-dress manual having a synthetic hard-board base lamina and a plurality of superposed pairs of panels simulating garment members to be interconnected in dressing operations. The paired panels are preferably made of tear-resistant cloth or tough plastic having easily cleanable surfaces, and are fastened to the base lamina by rigidly fixed arched-portion rods passing through eyelets in the outer lateral margins of each panel portion. The faces of the panels of each pair are of the same bright color, which differs markedly from the color of adjacent superposed pairs. The under side of each panel is of a non-distracting coloration. The training exercises progress generally in difficulty into and out of the manual, starting with buckles on belts holding paired hard-board panels protectively over the underlying paired panels, and progressing through buttons, snaps, hook-and-eye fasteners, etc., to finally a lace-closed shoe top on the base lamina.
