Coat's and Clark's Aprons- 1944

 My sister brought me a little gift last weekend. I was so thrilled!! This is a wonderful little booklet with many aprons and lots of inspiration! I love the illustrations, very classic 40s.
 "Protection plus Charm"
A whole family of aprons!
 "Crisp and fresh for company at home" One of my favorites! I love the interesting halter top.
Such a fun illustration! "All hands and the cook the order of the day when a church dinner is on the schedule..... seven basic aprons made from materials available."

  5. Church dinner? I think the hemlines are a little too high for church dinner.

    I agree; the halter apron is interesting.

    1. The halter apron is now on my to-do list!
      In the 1940s the hemline just skimmed the bottom of the knees, everyone wore it that length then.
