Aprons!!
"Just why several of the leading Paris fashion houses should have gone in for aprons this spring, is one of those mysteries that are never satisfactorily solved. Perhaps aprons are a part of the increased femininity of the mode in general, for no garment is more sweetly feminine than an apron" Good Housekeeping May 1939 (in Thrift to Fantasy, Rosemary McLeod, 2005.)
H10 modelling an apron I made for her birthday.
Another one I've sewn. No, I don't iron!
I5's thrift shop find.
M7's thrift shop find (modelled by A2).
Even the man of the house has his own apron!
