I confess that I love aprons, especially those in heavy vintage fabrics, I always wear them at home, not only for cooking, but also for carrying out the thousand household activities. But I like to always be tidy so the apron has to be nice!!!! That is, it has to be able to be worn even when I invite friends to dinner, for example. This is why I thought of this apron, which is almost a dress, to be worn over clothes.
This apron is made of a wonderful natural-colored vintage hemp fabric, very well preserved and still in its original piece. These fabrics are increasingly hard to find, but I was lucky enough to buy it at a flea market in the Tuscan countryside.
The cloth from which the apron was made was perfectly preserved. When I washed it, it softened and became even more beautiful, with its obvious, irregular and rustic texture. Truly beautiful in its simplicity.
The model is typical of Cecibirbona: it has a bodice to which a rich gathered skirt is attached; the front and back are tied with two side bows. It is worn from above in a very practical way, even without untying the side bows every time. It can also be worn, like all my aprons, in a way to make it more adherent, as you can see in the photos. It has two comfortable and roomy pockets.
