Sheer, Spring Green, vintage cotton organdy with applique details make up this pretty home sewn apron from the 1950s.

The appliques are coral, cut out flowers from polished cotton. They are outlined with two rows of zig-zag stitching in two colors... black and dark green, a nice effect. The same zig-zag stitching defines decorative scallops, all the edges and the one pocket. The apron gathers into a 2" waistband with tie-sash extensions. An average size it has the following measurements waist to hem 22", side to side 29", and total length of waist band and sashes 67".

This apron was never used but in it's years of storage, one of the folded edges of the waistband became a little dingy. Usually I hand wash before selling in a situation like this but it was so faint and in such a little area,  I decided to let it be. Once you wash an organdy apron it looses it's "brand new crispness". It can, of course, be hand washed and a little starch will give the fabric body again but I will leave that up to the new owner. I think it's fine as is. I couldn't even capture the flaw in my photos because it blends in.

Very Good Condition
