THE DEBATE; IS IT AN APRON OR A DRESS?

Oh yes, I am talking about the Pinafore. It made notable appearance on the scene in 1782. It was originally a sleeveless apron worn by children, to protect the front of the dress, then a piece of fancy Apron for the women to bake in a stylish manner and welcome the men looking prim and proper 🙂Pin + afore “on the front.” is called so, because it was originally pinned at the front of a dress. Circa, 1900 it became a fashion garment for women not just in the kitchen, but outdoors as well. But now, worn in present time to look chic, girly, stylish and comfortable.So when I think of vintage, Pinafore, or a Pinny definitely comes to mind. Pinafore comes in different sizes and shapes and fabrics.When I see pinafore: what I think of is my primary school uniform. So comfortable, free and fitting. it’s a dress that has transcended its Victorian roots to become a fashion staple that can be worn over pretty much any top: it could be worn with;Collared TopRound neckTurtle neckJumperSleevelessIt can be used with short sleeves, dramatic sleeves and long sleeves. Fitted and loose tops too. My adorable brown uniformed Pinafore, could have gone with any color of shirt, but the school strictly chose white 🙄.The cut of a pinafore dress determines the overall aesthetics, so consider whether you’re after a dressier more form fitting pinny, or something loose-fitting and relaxed.Nothing like an innocent corporate look at work, meeting or a even a casual date with acquaintances and friends. A black pinafore dress is a classic that every woman should have in her wardrobe and will work with a number of outfits, but if you are to invest in other colors, print and fabric then take Into consideration, it could be seasonal.You know, it truly amazes me how fashion changes at the same time relatable to any decade apart from the early 2000s. I really don’t know what we were going through then 😳Well my fellow impressionable fashion seekers, this is June’s Edition, in a polka dotted box with a ribbon tied and delivered to you.Stay stylish 💕
