Choosing an Apron

When you decide to buy your first Apron, you may be surprised at how thoughtful you need to be.That is, unless, upon seeing the perfect print, you run with it enthusiastically to the cashier. For those who are not so impulsive, here are a few shopping tips.

• What type of work will you be doing?

        Homespun is the fabric choice for working in the garden or heavy cleaning in the   house. Cotton prints are great when you need coverage but also to look your  best.  If you are serving dinner to important guests or for an important occasion,  our fancier Aprons, edged in lace or ribbons, will add the elegance suited for the  occasion. 

• What type of soiler are you?

         When you cook or clean, do you wipe your hands on your front pant leg? Our customers have named these people, the Pant-Wipers. They need a long skirt on their Apron that hangs ready for dirty hand wipes. Maybe you wipe your hands on your backside. Our customers have named these people the Bum-Wipers.These people need a style that covers the backside. Do you taste-test a lot and dribble down your chest? If this is you, you should choose an Apron that comes close to the neck. These are the Dribblers. Finally, we do have those enthusiastic cooks who move passionately around their kitchens, mixing ingrediants with gusto and smothering the once tidy kitchen with the results of their food-themed creativity. These people need head-to-toe covereage....with a matching hat.

• What type of fit do you prefer?

      Do you like your Apron to snug, tied close to the body to move with you?  Do you like your Apron to have long flowing movement, as if you were cleaning in a lovely long gown? or Do you like the feel of a short flouncy skirt? Do you want it long and snug? or Would you like your Apron to fit like an oversized shirt?

These are the questions to ask yourself as you look over our website and wonder which Apron would work best for you. Remember, an Apron is the layer of clothing that relates to the work you are doing.  Choose thoughtfully as if you were shopping for clothing. You are.

Thank you for your time and have a great day!
