Karen,
If you have not yet found what you are looking, try Good Old Days magazine because they feature old-fashioned patterns. My grandmother wore a full body cotton floral apron that sounds like what you wanted. I have seen the pattern but it's hard to find (looks like the ones Olivia wore on The Waltons). Here is a site you might like to try also: http://www.cotton-picking.com/Aprons.htm

I'm not sure if you have found the apron you where looking for, but I think I found what you mentioned, except no ruffle on the bottom, only on the top arm straps.
PATTERN # M4729 "AMERICAN HOSTESS MOTHER AND DAUGHTER APRONS" It Is Listed Under 'Out of Print' "MOTHER/DAUGHTER APRONS" However, As I understand You can still Buy the pattern.
AMERICAN HOSTESS McCALL'S FASHION ACCESSORIES
Here is the Link where I found it. http://www.mccallpattern.com/item/M ... ?tab=out_of_print/accessories&page=1
If You choose to not pay there price, I too would suggest a garage sale search, or thrift shop search. Otherwise check out the various Action sites like e-bay, and yahoo....
Have a great day!

I would look in thrift stores in your area. I have seen several of these long type of aprons on sale there.

RE: Old-Fashioned Apron
I just made an old-fashioned style apron for my sister using Simplicity crafts pattern #5201. It doesn`t tie in back but "covers" really well. I made it from an old-fashioned type of print fabric(poly-cotton) to be permanent press. Hope this info helps The pattern comes in sizes from Small to extra large.

Karen,
Try looking on Ebay. I did a search there and typed in "old apron" and it brought up a lot of interesting aprons - made me want to buy some myself, although I don't normally wear them. If you don't sew yourself (or don't want to), there was a lady on there who makes them and sells them in her own "store". There were also some listed that were just the kind that were from the waist down (not the bib kind). Hope this helps.

RE: Old-Fashioned Apron
I made an apron just like that about 9 years ago when I was still in highschool. The pattern was very easy to follow, and I think it turned out pretty good for being my first sewing project! You can find the patterns at your local sewing store and then you can make it out of what ever material you want!
