My addiction to aprons is well known to all of you!
Not only do I use them for cooking, but I wear them around the house all the time during many daily activities.
Taking care of our appearance is important, even at home, so the apron must be aesthetically beautiful and suitable not only for cooking but also for entertaining friends or relatives for dinner.
And this is beautiful and suitable for an important occasion, such as a Christmas lunch or a birthday.
This is an apron that is basically a dress to wear over your clothes, made from a gorgeous vintage linen fabric and expertly embroidered.
The fabric is very well preserved, dating back to the late nineteenth century, so it is a real treasure.
It is a breathable fabric and pleasant to wear, as only natural fabrics of exceptional quality can be.
Its exceptionality is given not only by the beautiful fabric, but also by the delicate cursive monogram, which represents the two initials of the woman who commissioned it, DD, embroidered in a beautiful English cursive and embellished with flowers and leaves.
the same motif decorates the front panel of the skirt forming, below a beautiful openwork pleat, a delightful, richly embroidered scalloped edge.
The same embroidery that decorates the front panel of the skirt can be found in the two front pockets.
It is a truly beautiful and unique apron, precious, which contains many decorative elements.
Perfect for giving as a gift to someone special.
The design follows the typical Cecibirbona style: a bodice joined by a rich gathered skirt; the closure is on the front and back or on the side through two pretty bows.
It can be worn conveniently from above, without having to untie the bows every time.
The photos also show how it can be worn, loose or more fitted, like all my aprons.
The fit is loose and comfortable, suitable for wearing over skirts and trousers, while maintaining a touch of grace and femininity.
This is a unique piece, made with a pure vintage linen fabric, an authentic treasure.
Any small imperfections tell its story and its age, they should be appreciated and loved, as it is a truly very old cloth.
It is easily washable by hand with mild soap or in the washing machine at 30 degrees on a delicate cycle, avoiding spinning and drying in the sun.
The size is one size, and in the photos you can see how it fits on me, who is 1.64m tall.
