This women's apron is dedicated to my mother who has always used aprons without bib, for cooking and also for gardening.
The half apron is made of a beautiful antique linen fabric, obtained from a stunning late nineteenth-century cloth, with its delicate tone-on-tone lace edge, which we find again lining the pockets.
These are the fabrics that are unfortunately disappearing, those made with the finest linens of the past.
And the lace is wonderful, a delicate fan of threads knotted with skill and experience, handmade by skilled and patient hands.
This apron features a long gathered skirt with two large side pockets and a strap that extends at the back into two long metres that can be knotted at the back, or brought back to the front and tied in a pretty decorative bow.
It is a beautiful apron, which will surely please those who prefer less covering aprons but do not want to give up the beauty and comfort of a garment that not only protects clothes, but gives the elegance that we seek on a special occasion.
Beautiful when worn with contrasting jeans or a tulle skirt, for an elegant dinner.
Unique piece. Hand washing is recommended to preserve the antique lace.
You see it worn by me who is 1.64 m tall.
