The 1950s was a time when the apron became the housewife’s uniform, with a version for every task, every season and every holiday. Housewives had to look clean, elegant, and not exhausted. Their aprons often coincided with the house dress - blurring the distinction between clothing and skirt.
In this painting, I was inspired by the hostess apron of the late 1950s with a pretty collar and slip-on style, fitted waistband with a back bow and patch pockets.
