Apron
Sheer, ruffled apron, Mount Lebanon, NY
1860-1890
Description
Mill-woven fairly sheer off-white cotton fabric. Apron has a single panel front, sides are selvages with an applied flat waistband and ties, one large pocket on front, and an added 11 1/2" wide ruffle at bottom. This material was turned so pattern runs horizontal then vertically as in apron top. Fabric has a texture weave; grouped warp threads give a raised effect. Three grouped warp, eight single, three grouped and plain weave weft.
