Embodiments of the present invention relate to a garment support apparatus (101) comprising a garment hanger (102) and a marker (103). The garment hanger (102) comprises a hook (105) and a support member (104), the support member (104) comprising a boss (301), and the hook (105) being joined to the support member (104) through the boss (301). The marker (103) is generally U shaped and comprises a body (206), a first arm (204) and a second arm (205), each arm being joined to the body (206) at a proximal end, the marker further comprising a first retaining member (207) at the distal end of the first arm (204). The boss (301) comprises at least a first indentation (302) suitable for receiving the first retaining member (207) such that, in use, the marker (103) can be fitted to the garment hanger (102) with the first arm (204) on a first side of the boss (301) and the second arm (205) on a second side of the boss (301) opposite to the first side, so that portions of the first and second arms (204, 205) extend beyond the boss (301) and the first retaining member (207) is at least partially contained within the first indentation (302).
