;) Sunday Apron File Name: TX020T.jpg Years ago Sundays were much more formal than they are today. Women had aprons which were only used on Sundays and holidays. This apron was made by my great Aunt Mary Dobitz Lampl.
The quality of the worksmanship made me wonder whether these aprons were actually worn while cooking or whether they put them on when they sat down for dinner. My mother assured me they were worn while cooking. |
