A single cord of mint green outlines the waistband, the pocket, and the hem, the one considered decision holding the whole loose composition together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNothing inside this apron names a maker, not even a laundry mark, which was ordinary for a piece meant to live in one kitchen and be replaced when it wore through. Half-aprons like this one were a fixture of 1940s-50s domestic life, tied on over a dress for an afternoon of baking or visiting, practical rather than precious. The floral cotton and the piped, teardrop pocket place it squarely in these decades' taste for cheerful, unfussy prints.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe waistband sits flat and unshaped, gathering into a full skirt at 72cm across, finished at 58cm length with a scalloped hem piped to match the pocket. Two long ties, 50cm each, mean the fit is generous and adjustable rather than fixed to one figure. Shown here on an Australian size 10 form, she would sit comfortably on a range of waists either side of that.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"caitiedid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44175465545862,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/5960\/8966\/files\/DSC_3629.jpg?v=1784615902","url":"https:\/\/checkout.caitiedid.shop\/products\/butter-and-green-1950s-daisy-print-cotton-half-apron","provider":"caitiedid","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
