I've been asked to make several waiter's aprons with pockets. I asked if they had a sample of the size they wanted. They said to use my own judgement, but not too short and not too long. What are good measurements for these? |

| I might be wrong but it sounds like they are just wanting the standard kind. Those are made like a carpenters apron minus the hammet holder. Just ties for arond the waist & a strip of fairly heavy material sewn into sections for 3 pockets over the base fabric. I'd take a look at the carpenters apron plus see if you can look at a pattern that waitresses use of that type. |

I would guess about 12" long x 24" wide, plus ties.
Take care,

The ones used at my son's restaurant are mid thigh in length and go around most of them completely and tie at the front. Probably more like 18-20" long and 36" wide with long ties.

I just ran a quick search and found a number of restaurant supply/uniform stores. They all offer a wide variety of lengths, and so I guess it depends on the style & ambience of the restaurant. It'll help if you know a little about the place they're for. Some of them offer dimesions if you click on the pictures. I was surprised to find out how cheap they were.

Considering how cheap the long aprons are, I would be surprised that you could buy the fabric for the cost of buying the apron.
