Aprons are not something that we normally think of in terms of fashion or using for dresses that we wear outside the home.

In the Spring or Summer we see these criss cross apron dresses on babies, but they are becoming a trend for adults to wear.

These apron dresses look adorable over a t-shirt with a pair of boyfriend jeans with the hem rolled up. It’s a really cute and natural look with a lot of charm. This is fun and playful, accompanied by a pair of Converse or Keds tennis shoes.

You would probably be surprised to know that it is the apron that has come to the rescue in the making of some of the appealing drape back dresses.

These are so easy to make and they look fabulous made out of linen. Some people wear a longer dress or a longer cotton slip under them, giving a more interesting and detailed look.

You can put big pockets on these, add a bunch of cute pins or iron on embroidery appliques to spice them up and make them even more interesting.

Also, keep in mind that you can make them shorter and just wear them as a top, with or without a t-shirt.

Since I lover experiments, Iโ€™ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
