Description:
The apron features two distinct rows of colorful red embroidery: The first row, located near the gathered waist area, consists of small floral motifs, possibly stylized flowers or leaves, embroidered in red and accented with blue. The second row, located near the bottom hem, mirrors the floral pattern but is slightly denser, creating a more vibrant and striking design. The bottom edge of the apron is decorated with a delicate lace trim. A small, practical pocket is stitched onto the right side of the apron. It is gathered and trimmed with a simple border, matching the overall aesthetic.
