Customer Reviews:
Cute, but tiny!
The apron is adorable! It is thin, like some other reviews said it was. My one concern is that I am 5'11" and this apron looks a little short on me. It is still cute, but it doesn't cover as much area length-wise as it should. I love it anyways though.

4 Star cute...1 star function..0 stars quality/cost
I was looking for an apron for my niece who is almost a teenager and just started cooking (tall for her age and where's adult size clothes, no longer junior/kids). I wanted something cute/pretty and flattering rather than the typical big boxy apron that you wouldn't want anyone to see you in. I was horrified at the prices of the only line of attractive aprons - this line and so went with the basic black because it was the cheapest of the pretty aprons-but still a whopping $18. I figured if it wasn't as nice as I thought it would be that I could keep it and get her another one. I'm so very glad I didn't get my own at the same time and spending a ridiculous $32 on the other black and white one that I liked the most - the price was just too high to get one for myself.

I was so close to getting both figuring they were good quality aprons, thank goodness I didn't. It's cute/pretty/attractive and looks flattering but it is so thin that it would be terribly see-through if it wasn't jet black. If you hold it to the light, it's obvious. If you drip any liquid on this your clothes underneath are history. I got a better quality apron for $4 over 5 years ago that's still going strong - not attractive but functional and quality fabric.

Not to mention the bib portion - though the shape is attractive, gives little coverage/protection. If you are petite, this will fit because the top and bottom tie in the back so you can make it much smaller, very easily, though it will be longer for you of course. If you have a generous body, it's worth a try but it's not the size in width as any kind of apron I've ever had which should go around the sides of my too. I'm a size 8 -the fits good but I wouldn't go any smaller.

Rough, thin, scratchy fabric - not smooth cotton, not heavy-duty real apron fabric. For this price I am horrified and for the price of all the others in this brand - absolutely NO WAY!!!

Now I want the same pretty, flattering aprons in a smoother, heavier or thicker fabric that has a similar cut, similar style but fabric meant for cooking!!!!!!!!!! I'll pay the $18-35 of this line if they can be used for cooking and look nice but just to look nice? No thanks!

The Lost Apron
30.09.09 @ 1:39 pm | No Comments

Robbins Nest

, Which follows a professor as he chases a series of Masonic clues around the nation’s capital. The book had a print run of five million copies and has generated intense media interest around the world.

Closer to home, we have our own missing Masonic mystery: How many Masonic aprons were owned by George Washington, and where have they been stored all these many years?

As described in Brown’s book, George Washington was not only the country’s first president, he was the country’s first Masonic president. In the book’s first chapter, the protagonist is led into the statue room in the U.S. Capitol. There he finds a sawn-off hand pointing toward the fresco on the rotunda ceiling. At the center of this feast of color and heavenly figures George Washington is featured in near god-like form, wearing his Masonic apron.

Historians say Washington bequeathed two Masonic aprons. Up until now, one was thought to have been kept in the Masonic lodge in Alexandria, Va., the other at the lodge in Philadelphia, Pa.
