A pinafore is a sleeveless dress that works as an apron, it is slightly looser than a dress, so you can wear a blouse or top under it. Personally, I like to wear them in the colder months, with some jeggings and a light weight polo neck jumper underneath, and as the weather gets warmer you can wear a more light weight top underneath, or indeed nothing.

The name reflects that the pinafore was formerly pinned (pin) to the front (afore) of a dress. The pinafore had no buttons and was simply "pinned on the front", which led to the term "pinafore".[2]
Pinafores became popular in the 1960's with the Mods making them fashionable. Pinafores are versatile, comfy and display fun and youthfulness.
Here are some examples of 1960's pinafores

What I love about pinafores is the fact they are versatile, and you can create many different looks with this one garment depending how you style it.
Pinafores come in and out of fashion, unless you are a true vintage 60's fan, then you possibly wear them regularly to soul nights, or scooter rallies. They are on the high street again, and I have made a few, I plan to make more in different styles. The current ones I made are checked, which was quite common in the 1960's too. Most of the fabrics I used are vintage and contain wool.
