Apron
Object/Artifact
Apron, entirely hand stitched cotton. Skirt is two 41” lengths of machine-ground, probably mule printed floral design in purple, pink, red, black and blue. It is quite long, suggesting it was worn with a full cage crinoline; it is gauffered onto the waistband, a strip of brown/dahlia rainbow printed ‘plaid’. Two light brown china buttons close the waistband which has been extended 2 inches. 2 1/2” hem, narrow ones on the side sewn with running stitch. Nicely made.
