Victorian Pinafore Apron Tutorial & Pattern

Join me step-by-step as I recreate a late Victorian/Edwardian bib apron! I designed this apron by looking at examples of similar aprons in drawings, books, and magazines from the 1890s-1900s. Often referred to as a nurse's apron or kitchen apron, the bib and full skirt help protect your garment from dirt and grime. We might refer to a garment like this as a "pinafore apron" today!

This style of apron is perfect for a Downton Abbey cosplay or Alice in Wonderland cosplay. Wear it to fulfill your cottagecore or ghiblicore dreams! It's a neat and functional apron for use in modern kitchens, too!

CORRECTION: Sew the straps to the bib right sides together. Sew the skirt panels right sides together.

This apron is an easy project that can be accomplished in a few hours. It requires 2 yards of 45" wide fabric. It can be customized with tucks, ruffles, lace insertion, or embroidery, and it's suitable for hand sewing, machine sewing, or a combination of the two.
