FloraBelle Waterproof Floral Apron

A uniform apron gets worn for eight hours at a time, which changes what matters about it. This one is cut with a softer, more feminine line than a standard bib apron and finished in a floral print, so it looks like part of a considered uniform rather than protective gear thrown on over the top of one.

The fabric carries a waterproof face, which is the practical half of the design. Water, coffee, dye and cleaning solution bead on the surface and wipe away rather than soaking through to clothing, and the coating survives repeated washing without going stiff or cracking along the fold lines where an apron creases most.

The neck strap adjusts to fit different heights, the waist ties are long enough to bring round and knot at the front, and the front pockets hold a phone, order pad, scissors or secateurs. It suits cafes, florists, salons, garden centres and home kitchens alike, and the print is dark enough in tone to carry a full shift without every splash showing. The bib is cut wide enough to protect a shirt front properly rather than leaving the shoulders exposed, and because the coated face dries almost instantly, a wipe at the end of a shift is usually all it needs before the next one. Stocked as part of the Veyra Home apron collection.
