If you need to adjust the back straps longer or shorter, simply re-knot longer or shorter. You can choose to ignore them or you can make use of them by crossing your neck ties and knotting their ends through the little rings.

So now when you purchase a Gathered Bib Apron which comes in 9 sizes by the way, you will find two little rings at the back of the waistband. (Will this be too hard and confusing?) We will find out. (Is that a real term?) Instead of making the ties permanently adjustable, we can add rings only at the waistband and you can simply knot the tie end through it. Isn’t design options fun and challenging? Some of you would love to have adjustable straps. It shapes the bodice in a particular way that is flattering. Some of you like the drawstring to be able to tie behind the neck for this design. So we looked at our Gathered Bib Apron design, which was our very first design by the way. Apron wearers are not only covering themselves at the stove, but they look for the comfort expected in an all day garment. Apron wearers want to be comfortable and hardly feel the apron on.

Made up in cotton prints which help conceal. With a 'pinner' top, which helped to protect the bodice of the gown when pinned to the dress bodice alternately unpinned the top would provide a clean work surface on the lap when seated, perfect for needlework. Here in our century, the go-to feature is to have nothing tied behind your neck. A cotton print work apron circa mid 19th-century styling that covers much of your skirt. If you watch and listen to the wearers, there are always paths to take, improvements to be made, design fun to enjoy. Design is a fluid river that always moves forward. Ties that are long enough to tie in front, add comfort to the wearer and stability as you move and work.Ĭan we do better? Of course. With a wide waistband that that holds the apron in place, it also gives additional shape to your figure. No matter your size, the bodice adjusts to you and covers you. The option of a gathered bodice is great for a variety of body shapes.
