VINTAGE APRON 40S CALICO

Description

This is an exquisitely, handmade hostess apron probably from the late 40’s. It has the wonderful vintage calico design in colors of navy, cranberry and dark olive green on a grey-blue background. The person that must have made this apron was probably a perfectionist. The stitching is very straight, corners are trimmed, etc. This apron is in EXCELLENT condition. I couldn’t find a stain, tear or hole on it. There are two triangular pockets and two sash ties. The apron measures 19” long and the bottom hem is 36”. The bottom edge is a bias, flared curved style. (I don’t know how to explain it any different, but it is more ‘shaped’ or flattering than most).

This would be a great retro apron to wear at your next party or just add it to your collection.
