Ah, the whimsy of the mid-century hostess apron -- embellished and decorative -- tied on just before the dinner guests arrived as a kind of flag of elegant, cheerful housewifery. Robin-blue, red and white, this version combines a bright chintz print with sheer cotton organdy, and contrasts diagonals of fabric with heavily-drawn red lines. Hang it in the window, tie on a second apron and wear it as a skirt, use in the traditional fashion and etc… your call.
