Being born in England in the 30's you probably are aware of the typical "English" maids uniforms, well, my employer prefers the traditional maids style uniform. My aprons are not only for keeping dresses clean they are also a statement "maid on duty"...<br /><br />Kim.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976656567250803879.post-45383442403136681562009-09-11T19:39:59.040+10:002009-09-11T19:39:59.040+10:00Wow Brenda, this is so WI.

As a child, I had my own small apron, and I can remember my mother making fancy ones out of sheer material for wedding receptions and teas. I don't know why they went out of fashion--lord knows I should wear one, as messy as I am:)<br /><br />I came over to visit your ABC post, which I enjoyed, but this tribute to the apron struck a chord with me.

Your lovely poem encompasses the entire social history of this once commonplace thing!<br /><br />It also reminds me of an anecdote I heard today when I was working at the Jane Austen House. One of the other stewards told me that a group of W.I. women had visited . . . and that while they were admiring the piano she had teased one of them into playing "Jerusalem" on it. After a few notes, some of the women started singing -- and then she said that they ALL started singing. We both teared up just thinking about it.<br /><br />Sometimes I miss that jam-making world.
