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.
