Description

Organza apron with lace panels down the center front and bottom edge. The left organza panel features an intricate embroidered apple blossom design and the pink ribbon tie pins the apron in place. This apron was donated by Dorothy Sauber in 2008. Dorothy Sauber collected over 600 aprons during her lifetime and wrote articles for many magazines, including Hennepin History Magazine, about the importance of aprons in American culture. Aprons like this one offer a unique glimpse into, as Dorothy wrote, "how the past viewed women and how past women may have viewed themselves".
