The H-back style 50s Smock Apron is based loosely on a vintage 1950s apron pattern that was in my great grandmothers collection-- altered to fit modern size ranges. Customize your apron by choosing to add pockets-- or not! This charmingly retro red polka dot apron is so easy to wear! Made to gently slip over your head and then tie at the waist. Wide straps go over shoulders and attach to apron in back at the waistline. (Shoulder straps are shaped and joined together across upper part of back, which is why it is sometimes called an "H back" style of apron.) Apron rests totally on the shoulders, placing no strain on the neck. Curved lower edges of front panel and sides add interesting scallop detail. Flattering shaping is accented by white bias trim on every seam line. The "I Love Lucy" inspired apron is a very comfortable style to wear. (Apron shown above is the "22W - 24W size" shown on my size 2X dress form.) Makes a great gift for the cooking/baking enthusiast on your gift list-- or for a very special treat for yourself! Great care and attention is paid when I make these aprons-- there are no exposed seams or raw edges showing on my aprons! All seams are neatly enclosed and topstitched for a sturdier and longer lasting finished product. I do not keep an inventory. This apron is not sewn until after order confirmation. Apron in photos is the original sample sewn to take listing photos. As with any handmade creation, fabric design placement will vary from apron to apron.

●✿● OPTIONAL POCKET DETAILS ●✿●
✿ 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. The kangaroo pocket will be made using the same fabric as the body of the apron unless you specify in the "NOTE TO SELLER" box that you would like it made in the coordinating/or contrasting fabric to make the pocket stand out. )
✿ You may also choose to add BOTH types of pockets

I love love LOVE this apron! I could not be happier with the fit, colors, etc. The stitching is perfect and you can tell she has been doing this for some time. This shop owner was awesome to work with and very prompt in answering my questions. My apron shipped much faster than I thought it would. Would not hesitate to recommend this shop!
