Handmade Edwardian Aprons $20.00 (not available at this time)
As every little girl dressing up in her mother’s high heels, hats, and best dresses knows, the outfit sets the mood. What you wear can determine your attitude. When you need to feel cheery, you wear bright colors, and a skirt that swings when you walk. To be reverent you wear straighter lines, more natural colors. A princess wears the finest lace and silk, and you can feel like a princess too, just by feeling the soft brush of silk against your skin.
When I want to feel domestic, I put on an apron. While doing everyday chores like cooking and cleaning and organizing, wearing an apron approves the ancient feminine arts. This apron is especially cheerful because of its long lines and old-fashioned fit. How exciting to picture yourself in a Jane Austen novel while doing dishes – and appreciating anew the modern convenience of indoor plumbing, that easy-to-use faucet and even an electric dishwasher! Gardening too, that lost art, regains a sense of motivation when you’re wearing a gardening apron.
Made from pretty, lightweight materials, this durable apron protects clothes from dirt and food, provides an accessible towel for drying your hands, and can even be worn as a fashion statement. A gather stitch at the high empire waist adds a fitted look to the design.
Some models come with a pocket to allow you to keep cleaning or gardening supplies (or your cellular phone) close while you go about the errands of your day.
Handmade Skirt Apron $10.00 (not available at this time)
Designed especially for kitchen work, this feminine apron ties over your skirt. Using a towel for the skirt and simple cotton fabric for the sash, this apron is machine washable and super-absorbent. A coordinating terry-cloth pocket is stitched onto the front, creating a sweet, country style. Give up tying on a dish towel that is too short. Get a cheerful kitchen apron from Lady of Longbourn!
