Aprons & suffragettes

Jan 18, 2011 11:43

Over the past few years, I've noticed that aprons, both in retro & updated versions have become big again. There is even a magazine out called "apron-ology". This sort of puzzles me...I'm one of those people who grew up with their mothers generation bent on tossing away their aprons as a symbol of getting out of the kitchen & into the workplace.
Another trend (which seems opposite to the apron one) is the recent upswing in vintage clothing labelled "suffragette". I've run across this label on listing for dresses from 1910-20 a lot lately. Is this just the latest thing to call vintage now that descriptions of vintage dresses as steampunk or goth have become so common & overdone?
