DescriptionMaid's uniform apron of white cotton dotted Swiss. The apron has a rounded shape; it is edged with a 2 1/2-inch-wide scalloped ruffle, which has an embroidered border of white dots.

These straps, which are 31 inches long from the top of the bib, are machine chain-stitched with a flat application of the scalloped and embroidered edging. The waist ties are accordian-folded into the ends of the waistband. They are 30 1/4 inches long.
