Hostess Aprons-the VFG parade for the week of December 19th

Hostess Aprons
With the holidays at our doorstep, dressing for entertaining is on our minds at the VFG, so we're bringing our hostess aprons to the party. As opposed to a kitchen or tea apron, a hostess or party apron is a fancier option, usually worn over a party outfit on special occasions or holidays, and only after the meal is prepared and ready to serve. Why let your guests show you up? Bring the bling in a fancy vintage hostess apron!
