Item Details, Condition & Measurements
Vintage: Yes Estimated Circa: 1950–1959 Maker/Brand: Unknown; appears handmade Material: Sheer organza, cotton print fabric, lace Primary Color: Ivory / pale yellow Secondary Colors: Black, red, yellow, white Style: Mid-century, retro, folk floral Type: Half apron / waist apron Occasion: Entertaining, hostess wear, display, collecting Dimensions: Approximately 27" wide × 16" long Sash/Ties: Approximately 66" total length Pocket: One decorative patch pocket with coordinating printed inset and lace trim
CONDITION: Very good vintage condition with no significant staining, holes or repairs observed. The sheer organza remains attractive and the printed cotton retains strong color. As a handmade vintage textile, there are small irregularities in the stitching and construction consistent with its age and handmade origin. Please examine all photographs closely, as they form an important part of the condition description. Vintage textiles are not expected to present as newly manufactured merchandise and may show subtle evidence of age and previous use.
A wonderfully graphic mid-century half apron, this circa-1950s example combines a delicate sheer ivory-to-pale-yellow organza body with a dramatically contrasting black cotton folk floral print in red, yellow and white.
The approximately 66-inch sash is notably generous for an older apron. In addition to making the apron more accommodating for modern wear, the extra length allows the printed ties to form a substantial bow and gives the piece considerably more visual presence when displayed.
