Aprons of the Mid-20th Century: To Serve and Protect (Schiffer Book for Collectors (Paperback)) (Schiffer Book for Collectors (Paperback))

Editorial Reviews Book Description Frilly, lacy, sweet, and sexy--aprons defined a generation of happy housewives and hostesses. Today these filmy, finely home-crafted garments are sentimental favorites, evoking memories of Mom, Grandmom, or some other Doris Day-like image of domesticity, and they are highly sought-after by designers and collectors of household linens. Over 200 aprons are featured in this beautiful book, accompanied by detail shots that highlight design elements, stitching, and embellishments. Separate sections are devoted to gingham, floral designs, rickrack, handkerchief aprons, plaids and stripes, and polka dots. Aprons with embroidery, crochet, tatting, lace, and cross-stitching are examined in detail, and a collection of vintage apron patterns is included. About the Author Judy Florence has been gathering and researching American aprons as statements of fashion, fabric, and art for several years. She lives in Wisconsin.
