Linen Apron

Aprons are an item of clothing which have remained basically unchanged in both form and function for hundreds of years.  Medieval men and women wore aprons while working in a variety of occupations to protect the clothing beneath.  While aprons are generally worn as an article of occupational clothing, there are 16th century instances of decorated or pleated aprons were worn by fashionable women.  Almost all sources of medieval aprons are of plain white or natural linen.  Our Apron is a simple rectangle gathered into a separate waistband which ties around the waist.
