Vintage 1940s Sheer Organdy Half Apron with Red Pocket & Embroidery “Marie”

Charming vintage sheer half apron, likely dating to the 1940s–1950s, made from crisp white organdy fabric. Features include: • Bright red square pocket, embroidered with the name “Marie” in yellow thread. • Decorative red stitched stripes along the hem for added flair. • Gathered waist with long ties, finished in matching red stitching detail. • Sheer, lightweight organdy fabric typical of mid-century hostess aprons—these were often worn for entertaining rather than heavy kitchen work. The apron shows minor age-related wear and faint discoloration, especially around waist and the ties (see photos), but overall presents beautifully for display, collection, or use in costume, décor, or sewing repurpose projects. Measurements (approx.): • Waistband: 17” • Apron length: 19” • Tie length each side: 30” This is a lovely example of a personalized mid-century apron—both functional and decorative. Dating -- Estimated date: 1940s to early 1950s. • Fabric: Organdy was popular for decorative aprons in the 1940s–50s. • Style: Sheer, novelty hostess aprons with bold trims were especially common in the post-war years. • Hand embroidery & red detailing: consistent with 1940s-50s home-sewn or small-shop crafted aprons. #Haberdashery
