1950s sheer organdy apron w/ hanky detail
Feminine and sweet this 1950s vintage apron is done in pure white cotton organdy with the prettiest handkerchief detail pocket.
A clever design... the pocket is made from a flowered hanky, set on the diagonal which has been appliqued at the bottom and left open at the top. The top corner is stitched into the waist band to secure it. and a small plastic ring is used to gather the loose fabric. This keeps the opening from gaping. This would was considered a fancy apron, to be worn over the hostesses dress while she served her company. The delicate hanky pocket was really just for show.
The apron gathers into a self fabric waistband with tie sashes. The gathers work well over a full skirt but look just as nice over a narrow one. The measurements are as follows waist to hem 20", side to side 36", and full length of waist with sashes 72".
Excellent Condition
