One of our new additions this year is the linen pocket apron. We started researching these and once you see one, they start popping up everywhere. Very much a working woman's garment, this is an underrepresented part of historic dress in the 18th century. To start your research, there is a lovely collection by 18th Century Notebook: https://www.18thcenturynotebook.com/pocket-aprons
