I can't stand not wearing an apron...
I always wear them, whether they're made of linen or vintage cotton, not just for cooking but for all the little chores around the house.
However, I like to always feel neat and tidy, even when I have friends over for dinner, and that's why an apron has to be beautiful, almost like a dress to wear over my clothes.
This is born from a vintage, medium-weight, pure cotton fabric, hand-embroidered with a romantic and delicate pattern. It's one of those fabrics that are now almost impossible to find, and I was lucky enough to find it at a flea market to give it a new life. Preserved in excellent condition, with a visible and slightly irregular weave, it carries with it all the beauty of its uniqueness.
The fabric features two hand-embroidered initials, FP, in a classic yet essential font, and a high hem finished with double scalloping and a delicate embroidery of bows, small flowers, and tiny stitches, all expertly crafted. These details make it a truly special piece.
The design is typical Cecibirbona: a bodice that flows into a gathered skirt, with two side bows for adjustment. It's easy to put on from the top, even without untying the bows each time, and like all my aprons, it can be worn loose or more fitted, as you can see in the photos.
It has two roomy pockets, cut specifically to highlight the original embroidery, and the hems of the skirt are the authentic ones from the sheet it was made from.
The fit is loose and comfortable, perfect over skirts or trousers, but always very feminine and graceful. And it's truly a unique piece.
The fabric is pure vintage cotton with original hand embroidery.
Small stains or slight imperfections are part of its history and tell its story: they are not flaws, but precious traces of what has been.
Hand wash with mild soap or machine wash at 30 degrees on a delicate cycle. It's best not to spin dry and not to leave it to dry in the sun.
One size fits most. I'm wearing it in the photos, and I'm 1.64 m tall.
