I can't say for sure why, but this apron reminds me of Claire McCardell, my favorite American designer. Maybe it's the warm muted stripes she was famous for or just the casual country feel (according to the book Claire McCardell, Redefining Modernism, she loved being at her farmhouse in Frenchtown,New Jersey). For whatever reason this apron brought her to mind when I saw it. 

.... a quaint home made apron from the later 40s -early 50s. The material is a wide stripped cotton with a soft, "homespun" feel, the colors are muted shades of cranberry, lavender and goldenrod. The style is fairly long and gathered at the waist with wide deep pockets at the hem. The pockets are quite roomy and fun looking.

It has the following measurements. Top to bottom 24" side to side 32" and full length of waist band with sash extensions 64".

Excellent Condition
