i'm always tempted to recreate that ensemble for halloween or the
renaissance fair (i know it's like 100 years out of period, but i
don't work there or anything. and i think it would be funny if
someone recognized it).
I notice that her apron strings seem to be long enough to cross in
the back and come to the front to be tied. It's nice to see that the
way I like to tie my apron at Sutter's Fort (c. 1846) has long
historical roots.
