Domestic Goddess Aprons from Dollydagger

While the image may not always align with modern fashion, the influence of the traditional fifties housewife still often pervades in retro clothing. The demure element is rarely seen so explicitly as in these Domestic Goddess Aprons from Dollydagger.

The kitsch styling of these aprons is the key to their appeal, featuring traditional fabric prints that are cutesy and classic. Made in a variety of gingham and candystripe prints, the structure too is the picturebook definition of the fifties wife and mother.

The apron is available now from Dollydagger for £23.99, in a variety of colours and patterns.

Olli and Lime Kitchen Collections

We’ve featured Olli and Lime’s nursery products here before (duvet covers, wallpaper and wall art) and I’ve always thought their designs are wasted just kept for children. So I’m pleased to see that they expanded to include two of their designs as Kitchen Collections.

George, a lime and milk chocolate flower-like design (pictured here) and Charlie, a darker brown and mustard circles pattern, are both available on a range of kitchen textiles. You can have your napkins (£25 for four) table runner (£35), tea towels (£15 for a pair) and apron (£25) all in matching fabric.

I’m hoping that more products will follow and I’d like to see their range extended to include grown-up sized bedding, but for now, you can buy their kitchen collection from the Olli and Lime website.
