I have also seen some really pretty retro ones at TJ Maxx before.<br /><br />I have several vintage aprons my grandmother made (the waists are mostly waaaay too small for me), as well as a couple new ones my aunt (her daughter) made from the same pattern (with longer ties that fit me). They are way more country/farmhouse than retro, though, and cover your legs only. We had an apron party once where everyone had to wear one; it was awesome! Hope you find what you're looking for, and I'm sure you will treat us with pictures!<br /><br />Gorgeous shade of deep blue. You look so pretty and ready for a formal night out!Jenarcissist @ the closet narcissisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07427993886300110387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-87146506716513399912013-02-27T17:20:32.797-05:002013-02-27T17:20:32.797-05:00This dress looks gorgeous on you- it's YOU.

I us...Ally, you have bench space, I'm jealous!<br /><br />I use a 70's brown floral full apron - no ruffles (which just get food stuck in them, so impractical), but piped edges and a deep front pocket (useful for pegs, but not in the kitchen).<br /><br />As others have already mentioned - hit up etsy. You may even find someone who is willing to do a custom size for you. Or, if there are sewing skills in the family, have a glorious time in a quilting shop picking out fabrics and then suggest how thoughtful a present it would be. Everlasting gratitude and all that :)<br /><br />As for your frock - perfect for flambeing crepes at a dinner party. Have I mentioned how I so want to see you dressed as a flapper?Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08181307209370955942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-69263578032145775752013-02-24T06:17:25.009-05:002013-02-24T06:17:25.009-05:00Beautiful dress Ally, such a good colour on you.

I think thrift stores would be the best place to find them. Or a vintage shop. This generation we're in now just don't appreciate aprons enough. Maybe it's because our country's clothing has gotten so casual.<br /><br />I'm going to keep my eye out for you.

I've had the performing arts center scouring my consignment booth desperately looking for retro ones they need for performances.
