During the time when the world was ruled by kings, queens, princes, and princesses many are simply living average. While most royals can afford to wear beautiful and elegant dresses, the masses are only limited to some pieces and conventionally not made of the most luxurious textile. But the average living people in the medieval era were the ones exposed to labor and different household chores and they cannot escape the wrath of stains that may intrude on their dresses during their work. Thus, they needed something to cover their clothes with something cheap. This is the beginning of the usage of aprons.

Sounds too fictional? Yes. But fairy tales aside, aprons were one of the early clothing and fashion artifacts that have been invented during the time of the early kings and queens. Additionally, aprons can be considered as the only garment that has retained its use over some period among others.

Before it has become a kitchen friend, aprons has been used on all occasions first. In most medieval dresses, aprons are used as over garment most likely not connected to the main dress but is designed well with ruffles or embroidery so as to complement the dress. Its main purpose is to protect the dress from any stain because it is so hard to do the laundry by that time. Considering the type of dresses before, laundering can cause the fabric to be worn out easily as the technology making the textile strong was not yet widely introduced at the time. Thus this makes the apron a main part of a dress rather than purely a garment that is added for protection.

During those times, aprons are used by girls and adult ladies in going to the market, the church, to a meeting etc. There are different types of aprons that are used before. Pinafore is one of them. A pinafore is a type of apron that has shoulder padding sort of thing. It is like a jumper dress.

As time goes and cheaper clothes have been produced, the use of multiple garments faded and aprons slowly paved out. But its main purpose of protecting garments never fades away and the aprons find their way to the kitchen, in restaurants, and in many other places.

Today aprons come in different types namely, bib aprons, bistro aprons, tuxedo aprons, cobbler aprons, waist aprons, etc. Each type of apron differs mainly in design. Bib aprons are mainly body-sized aprons with only a string from the sides and along the nape area. Bistro aprons and waist aprons are commonly small aprons that can be wrapped around the waist. Cobbler aprons on the other hand are an apron with a resemblance to that cape-like over garment used by musketeers.
