In 1931 the stay at home Mom had to be "Trimly Fitted for Your Busy Hours", with slips, dresses and some pretty nice aprons. While of course, the kids needed "Modish Wear for School or 'Best'". I imagine part of Moms duties was to sew up all that Modish Wear!
I love the idea of the tiered-back pinnie and the little pleated collar with the thin ribbon bow on 408 is just darling. That's going to find it's way on to my girls dresses.
Welcome! I have this blog to share the treasures I find related to vintage sewing, and vintage fashion with occasional detours into whatever crosses my path. Everything I post is from some actual item I found. If you'd like to buy something you see contact me.
I sell sewing patterns for a living, you'll see the link below. Come on by!

ReplyDeleteI wonder if that tiered back ruffle effect was for a 'dress' apron. I know my grandmother had fancy aprons for company and 'work' aprons for everyday.
