The retro 50s Smock Apron is based loosely on a vintage 1950s apron pattern that was in my great-grandmother's collection-- redesigned to fit modern size ranges. This charming apron is so easy to slip on over your head! Wide straps go over the shoulders and attach to the apron in the back at the waistline. (Shoulder straps are shaped and joined together across the upper part of the back, forming the comfortable yoke often referred to as the "h back" of the apron.) 50s Smock Apron rests totally on the shoulders, placing no strain on the neck at all. A completely comfortable style for all-day wear! Curved lower edges of the front panel and sides add interesting scallop detail. Apron ties at the waist. Flattering shaping is accented by lovely light purple bias trim on every seam line to coordinate with the purple roses in the calico print. Very pretty style to wear. Makes a great gift for the cooking/baking enthusiast on your gift list-- or for a very special treat for yourself!
You may choose one or BOTH pocket styles to further personalize your apron if desired! (Please choose your pocket selection by using the drop-down menu before adding the item to your shopping cart.)
* HIP Pockets (Specifically these are called "welt pockets"--like the back pockets on men's dress pants-- most of the pocket is on the inside with only a slim band of contrast fabric showing on the outside of the apron at the top of the pocket.)
* KANGAROO pocket (This goes across the front of the apron.)

Great care and attention are paid when I make these aprons-- there are no exposed seams or raw edges showing on my aprons! All seams are neatly enclosed for a sturdier and longer-lasting finished product.
APRON CARE
Machine wash in cold water with mild detergent. Wash dark colors separately. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low heat. Remove from dryer while still damp to minimize wrinkling. Press with medium-hot iron as necessary.
