Subject: [h-cost] Aprons
Well, here is an utterly flatfooted query from me: Do we know when women
began wearing aprons of the rectangle with waist strings type? Too many
of my history-of-costume books are in storage right now and I just can't
seem to recall when they start showing up in the art. Does anyone have
this info easily at hand?
Thanks!

This page has a list of medieval and renaissance artworks with aprons
http://www.larsdatter.com/aprons.htm the earliest seems to be the Luttrell
Psalter like Robin said.
