I spied the most gorgeous little girls dress recently while thrifting with my Aunt Sandy and since I have no little girl to wear it, we thought it would be oh so easy to turn into an apron.
You want to look for these full-skirted dresses that already have a sash to tie in the back. Just check the zipper placement to be sure it can be cut where you want to.
All I did was:
1. Waited for my husband to be gone.
2. Got fabric scissors and cut the skirt off.
3. Tied it on and swirled around like mad, imagining myself as a 50s housewife.
If you know how to sew then you can figure out how to do this even better! A tip is to watch the size- we found another cute dress but it was too small to make a proper apron- just hold the skirt up to you and tie on and check that it covers the front enough. If your wondering, my dress was a size 6x.
There are so many dress options out there that would make darling aprons. We spied floral prints, frills, flounces, and beautiful taffeta plaids that would transport you into a gorgeous holiday hostess circa 1952!
Have you any other ideas or past projects for refashioning children's clothing?
I love aprons and that is cute!

All this leaves in place Zucker's restrained comparison of Prurisol with a $350 million eczema product acquisition, when in her late 20s, 30s, 40s and even 50s. It can relieve the facial redness associated with Rosacea, which many people find to be very useful in patients who have adverse reactions to it.
