DON'T "WAIST" AWAY: WE HAVE THE SOLUTION!!!

 Handmade special Perfectly Colonial Period 18th c new debut for our online sutlery customers this week is a handmade SemiSheer Cotton Window Pane Dress Apron, please see pictures above for viewing pleasure of our latest treasure. It is beautifully patterned correctly for period impression and comfortable wear for all reenacting women. There is a small detailed white cross-hatch square inwoven repeating pattern at every intersection of the fabric. It is woven, not printed, and one of a kind. 

The Apron is sewn in the "half camp" pattern fully gathered onto a fixed waistband that will lat flat but have some whisper weight cloud like fluff appearance to your petticoat lower. The fixed waistband measures 20.5" across and has a perfect length of 32" (most Petticoats should measure 36"40" range depending on your height.) Colonial Aprons were utilitarian everyday, with a Sunday worship clean pretty Apron in a woman's Dower Chest at her marriage. 

Sheer Dress Aprons can be seen in period portraits, and is neatly machine stitched for durability.  Please view item in my hand for actual sizing, shown above. You can see my hand through the milky semi sheer fabric for whisper floating cloud. It is meant to be One Size fits all ladies, with sufficient long waist ties to secure in back, You can wear it to tuck down and close a longer Shortgown on top, or sneak it under a Short Jacket for 2 different looks at the waist line.
