Dresses and Aprons USDA Home Economics Department Originally Copyrighted 1963 Reproduced by LGCommunications in 2010 
"A well-designed, well-made house dress can give a real lilt to homemaking jobs. A poorly designed dress or apron, on the other hand—one that restricts when your reach or bend, that twists or gets in your way as you stoop or climb— can be as fatiguing as a poorly planned kitchen.
The designs in this booklet illustrate styles and style lectures that make clothes function for housework. They are attractive, simple to make, and quickly and easily ironed. Each design scores in the following five ways: Comfort.—Styling is such that garments permit (ree action and are cool. Safely.—Pockets, belts, and sleeves won't catch on pan handles or get in the way to cause accidents while the wearer is cooking, cleaning house, or doing the family wash. Convenience.—Dresses and aprons are easy to put on and take off. They present no laundry problems. And they are equipped with usable pockets placed so that hands can slide in without effort, Durability.—II materials are chosen carefully and workmanship is good, garments made from these designs will wear well. They have no features that will cause them to tear or wear out in a short time.
Attractiveness.—Styles are planned so that the garments do not muss readily. Materials recommended will not show wrinkles or spots quickly; colors are lasting and fresh looking.
