What better way to purchase an apron,

than one that is made especally for you!

 

Choose your skirty, bodice, neck ties,

pockets, etc. to make your apron.

 

The cost is $35 if you choose from

my stash of fabrics.  If you purchase

your own fabrics, the cost is $20.

 

Take your time and pick out your favorites,

then let me know what you would like. 

Typically, turnover is 3-5 business days.

First,here are some measurements needed:  (June is my manequin!)

 

Natural waistline- June is 30.5 inches

 

Bustline- June is 39 inches

 

Hipline- June is 38 inches

Neck (only for neckstrap)-June is 39 inches

 
Your second step is to choose your bodice:  (Click on the box with the arrow to enlarge!)

Square w/optional darts

 The bodice can be sweet, sexy,

or practical.  The fancy, barmaid,

and square w/ optional darts work

well for bustier ladies.  The v-neck,

and scoop are great for anyone.

The barmaid gives the illusion

of a larger bust as well as the

square bodice.

 
Now choose your skirt...

Gathered (either flat front

side gather or full gather)

Simple w/pleats at hips

The gathered and simple skirts

are very elegant without any

hoopla.  The flat front of the simple skirt and the side gathered skirt are very slimming.  The full gather is more traditional.

Fancy

Flirty w/optional 2nd flounce

The fancy skirt can be with or without bias tape.  The insert is slightly gathered.  There are small pleats at the hips.  The flirty skirt can be flat (shown) or with pleats like on the fancy skirt.  The optional 2nd flounce is nice touch if you are using 2 fabrics (it ties the fabrics together). 

 
Next are your neck ties or straps...

 

 

Shoulder straps or ties are so important!

I personally cannot stand anything around

my neck, so I use crossed shoulder straps. 

Some people don't care for straight shoulder

straps, they feel like they may slip off.  So

think about how you feel comfortable before

you choose what type you would like. 

One word of caution, crossed straps are a

little more difficult to get into until you get

used to them.

 

 

Square

Round Bottom 

  

Pockets are completely up to the individual. 

Some adore pockets, while others cannot

stand them.  Whatever you would choose, I

would need to know whether you would want

the pocket for your left or right handas well as the desired size of the pocket.

 
Next, choose your fabric or fabrics from the fabric page, or you can purchase your own fabric and send them to me to make your apron.
 
Now all you have to do is contact me.  I will get your measurements, and begin working on your apron right away.  Once I have your apron, I should have pictures of it available to you within one week (for your approval).  After you approve the different parts, I will put things together, send you a few more pictures, and set up your Add to Cart button from PayPal. 
 
If you would prefer to pick out your own fabrics, please feel free.  Let me know, and I will give you the fabric requirements.
