Aprons
Does anyone wear an apron these days? When I was a kid in the 50s most women, if not all wore aprons when going about their daily chores, but since about the 60s their use seems to have discontinued. Apart from very young children wearing these plastic ones for messy play activities, and occasionally men wearing those stripey ones at BBQs, no one seems to wear them anymore, not even very elderly women. I can't remember when I last wore one, I don't even own one I don't think.

Re: Aprons
I was given an Apron by my Italian S-I-L about 30 years ago, it's a pretty red paisley design one and I've never worn it!
I keep it now for my young granddaughter to wear when visits and wants to do some cake making ..... she knows where I keep it and always goes to the drawer to fetch it.There are hundreds of aprons for sale on Amazon ..... some very cheeky ones too that I'm sure would appeal to Jem!

No, I don't have an apron, if I need one I use a large tea towel tucked in the waistband.I do remember my s i l had some, with plastic in the waistband, so that you didn't have to tie. (bit like large bicycle clips
) she slid the plastic out for washing.Wonder if you can buy them still?
