Help Dating Full Length Teal Lace Apron - New Pics Added

[nostalgic*collections]

Hi Ladies,

I purchased this lovely teal lace apron with a taffeta ribbon at an estate sale.

Any clues as to the era? 50's? 60's? 70's?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Greatly appreciated!

Wow, I don't think I have ever seen a full length one. Is it open in back? Do you have a close up of the waist area?

Hi Linda!

It is the only full length one I have ever seen, too! It is open in the back. The pin is just around the fabric, not thru it. Because I can't tie a good bow!! Here's a couple more pics...

Thanks again for your help!

I am wondering if it isn't one of those "skirts" that went over cigarettes pants in the 50s. Turn it the other way and see.
I have so many customers ask for these. I can't recall the name now though.
You may have a find!!!

I was going to say 50s myself. Suzanne, you could be right!

BTW, is that a cake in the background? :D

I think this is just a lace over-skirt (guipure?) maybe from the 1960's or later. It's missing a full-length evening dress. It is too long for that cigarette pant look. I hope there's a picture of Audrey Hepburn out there to prove me wrong though!

Linda - Yup! That's a cake in the background ;)

Finally found something!

Looks like it was during the 50's when a full length apron was worn over a one piece dress and would have been made to match the dress.

Bummer. I only have the apron....
