Need an apron!

Do you remember back in the 50's and 60's, our Mothers always wore aprons to keep their clothes clean.  The aprons never got dirty, or so we thought.  I don't know how they did it.  Even my Mother-in-Law wore a smock and I never saw it get splashed with anything she was cooking.  When I cook I get right in it.  If I leave the stove to eat supper and my shirt isn't dirty, everyone is shocked.  Some days you can look at my shirt and tell what is for supper.  One day I was so proud of myself, I had not a spot on my shirt.  While cleaning up I got it all slopped with sauce putting it in a container.  I do keep the pre-wash companies in business......
