Red gingham is so festive for the holidays! And I love the rick-rack trim and hankerchief hemline...sugary sweet!
Hand appliques make this one special!
I made a close up but I'm not sure you can see all the perfect little stitches around each piece of the applique. Absolutely amazing! What a steady hand this must have been!
Black and white...this will go over anything I wear in the kitchen!
Once again another closeup, this time of the embroidery, or maybe it's cross stitch. Either way, you can imagine the kind of time this must have taken! Now think about how crazy long it would take to make an Haute Couture creation! All these aprons were made by either my boyfriend's great grandmother or great aunt many years ago and they look like new! It's incredible that a pair of jeans can be worn out in a few months time these days yet these have last eons! They just don't make them like they used to!

oh man this makes me want to attempt to bake something so bad! i have immense love for kitschy kitchen supplies, even though i can't actually make anything edible...
Christmas baking is just soooo very very nice. And those aprons are really cute.

Very vintage and very beautiful, especially the last one!
these are so cute! I think I need some xo
They look like they came from a 50's sitcom show...didn't we all once fantasize about our moms being the betty home maker who wears gingham aprons?
