Getting Formal
with Dessert Aprons
We deliver downtown!
story and photo by Trisha Hunter
F
or decades, people have worn different aprons to suit their
various needs. One of those needs is an apron for formal
times or for use with dessert. Many don’t know that there is such
a thing as a dessert or formal apron. They were originally called
formal aprons because they were used for formal events such as
dinner parties, weddings, catering and events.
“Some formal aprons were black
and white, though those were most
widely used by help to serve the
guests drinks and dessert.”
In the 1950’s dessert/formal aprons were the ones you put on
when company was coming to dinner. They generally were sheer,
had perhaps a stitch of lace and perhaps a rose. Some formal aprons
were black and white, though those were most widely used by help
to serve the guests drinks and dessert when they arrived or at the
end of a meal right before the men ran off to smoke and chat and
the ladies stayed in the parlour to gab.
Nowadays, people mistake any apron that is super cute for a
dessert apron which, technically, it is not. It is an adorable cute
apron, granted, but unless it is a half apron, formal, and used only
for formal events or dessert, they just aren’t.
