I made three of these aprons were for a client in Switzerland, who gave them to a special lady in his life. They are meant to be worn with her mini dirndl dress. Each is made from cotton eyelet fabric, and has a pocket with her initials monogrammed onto it. The ties are very long, because they are meant to be crossed in back, and tied in a bow in the front. The pocket and ties are trimmed in lace. My client sent me the specific measurements that he wanted the finished aprons to be, and I followed his instructions to achieve the finished product.
