A ruffled pocket sits at the hip. The decoration is the star: an appliqué flower in a contrasting fabric, with a long appliqué stem and embroidered sprays of small blossoms, rises across the skirt to the bib. View A is trimmed with rick rack, and View B is outlined in contrasting piping, with scraps suggested for the appliqué stems, leaves, and flowers. The pattern includes 10 pieces, the cut and sew guide, and an uncut transfer; the envelope's large flowers show the motif in blue gingham and in pink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection data-section=\"fashion-history\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Moment in Fashion History\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWartime fabric was scarce, and aprons like this one made the most of very little: about 1¼ yards for the apron and scraps for the appliqué.
