I confess that I love aprons, especially those in linen or thick cotton, I always wear them at home, not only for cooking, but also for carrying out the thousand household activities.
But I like to always be tidy so the apron has to be nice!!!! That is, it has to be able to be worn even when I invite friends to dinner, for example.
This is why I thought of this apron, which is almost a dress, to be worn over clothes.
This apron is made from a beautiful natural-colored vintage linen fabric, hand-woven on a loom over a century ago and in excellent condition.
You can observe the hand-made seams that were used to join together the loom-made cloths, which were therefore of a fixed width.
These fabrics are increasingly hard to find, but I was lucky enough to buy one at a flea market in the Tuscan countryside.
The cloth from which the apron was made was perfectly preserved.
When I washed it, it softened, while maintaining its body, and became even more beautiful, with its evident, irregular and rustic texture. Truly beautiful in its simplicity.
The model is typical of Cecibirbona: it has a bodice to which a rich gathered skirt is attached; the front and back are tied with two side bows. It is worn from above in a very practical way, even without untying the side bows every time. It can also be worn, like all my aprons, in a way to make it more adherent, as you can see in the photos.
It has two comfortable and roomy pockets.
The edges of the skirt are the original ones of the cloth.
The fit is loose and comfortable, so it can be worn over skirts and trousers, but at the same time it is very graceful and feminine.
One of a kind.
The fabric is a pure ancient linen of over a hundred years. A real treasure.
Small imperfections and small stains testify to the age of this fabric and speak of its past.
Machine washable at 30 degrees on a delicate cycle.
One size fits all. Ready for delivery.
