An apron from my embroidered apron collection, this one showing Mae West and her famous line " come up and see me sometime" Most of my aprons show full length ladies expertly embroidered but not by me, this one from an antique fair in Sydney. I wish I had more space to display them all but my other collections crowd me a little so this is a new forum for my displays which will over time be shown here.Tuesday, 7 July 2009

Lovely apron, from the 1930s I'm guessing. Which would also explain the politically incorrect cigarette Mae West is holding! I wonder if the apron was ever worn.
ReplyDeleteI just added a Mae West embroidered Apron to my Etsy Store, and found yours while I was researching. I can't find anything else like it anywhere on line, but now we know that at least 2 different designs exist, and they were (possibly) made in Australia. Intriguing.
