The answer is, of course an apron. And happily there are plenty out there that are far from frumpy!
The 'cupcake apron' pictured above is part of a range of pinup-inspired aprons by Etsy seller World Famous Aprons, who has a nice selection of printed pinnies, including polka-dot, leopard and zebra. It's so pretty I can't imagine wanting to take it off!

I've seen lots of gorgeous full-length aprons but if you're after something a bit more minimal, this mini apron by Smarmyclothes ('because bad girls need aprons too') is quite alarmingly cute.
I'll confess to having a Cath Kidston stars apron.
ReplyDeleteIt's like dressing up without any effort at all!
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of the mini apron in this post, I'm not sure I'd want to get melted chocolate and flour all over the other one.
I am *absolutely* getting one of these! I like the brown with pink polka dots by WorldFamousAprons.
ReplyDeleteWell, as a full time housemaid I wear an apron all day. Unfortunatly mine is not half as fashionable as the one from WFA"s.
ReplyDeleteMy whole uniform (which is supplied} is "pre war" vintage style!! My employers like a traditional looking maid so no fashionable aprons or dresses for me. Google "harvey girls" and you will get an idea.
