- NEWGEM 100% Cotton Cross Back Apron for Women with 2 Pockets - Adjustable Button Straps Pinafore, No Neck Pain Kitchen Chef Apron for Kitchen Chef, Home Cook (Gray)

The fabric is quite nice, although a bit thinner than I expected. It washes and dries well; the color (dark red) does not fade. (Do follow the care instructions. If you don’t know the international symbols, Google them.) However, the manufacturer decided to skimp on the length of the waist ties, which is very aggravating. They are ridiculously short: one can hardly tie a bow! This bit of mean stinginess spoils the entire purchase for me.

I purchased this style because I can’t wear aprons that hang around my neck. I like this apron because it doesn’t irritate my pinched nerve in my neck. The straps are easy to adjust.

The color is so vibrant just like in the photos! Fit is perfect for petite sized women. I'm 5'3" and have a 27 inch waist. My chest is a 36B. I like how the design doesn't have the straps straining my neck and the top doesn't bulge over my chest. The front pockets are nice to store pens or an extra kitchen towel.

I got this apron because I don’t like straps on the back of my neck. When it came the apron fit my children but it barely covered me. The buttons on the straps came off and it just didn’t work for me.

I bought this to use in the kitchen. I was nervous if would keep me dry while washing the dishes. It's great, material is sturdy and water resistant. As stated..resistant, not water proof, but suitable for my purpose. Also keeps me clean while doing other things like potting my plants. I have received many compliments on my apron as it hugs you nicely, yet roomy to move around to do your work. Great product!!!

I love this Apron for so many reasons. My main reason for buying this one was because of the straps the original around the neck strap tugs to much and I hated it. Being a Chef I live in aprons every day. I will be buying more I would like to request if there was a possibility of adding white to the color options.

I am 5'2" and 155lbs and this apron hits all the right places and isn\t baggy or too long. Fits perfectly - the straps are adjustable, so I would say you could go a bit taller even. The material is thicker than I thought and it looks really well made. I am going to be buying a second one just to have an extra. It holds up in the washer and dryer just fine. The front pocket has a seam down the middle to make 2 pockets, and its just one basting stitch down the middle so if you wanted one big pocket you could take a seam ripper to it and it would be fine. The straps are comfortable and the waist tie was plenty large enough for me.

The material is a nice thickness. My only issue is that although it fits me fine, I am using the largest button on the cross-back strips, and I am not very large. It does not seem to provide much leeway for larger folks even in the waist tie. Still, I will be ordering another for my friend. I haven't used it yet so I can't comment on how much color and shrinkage occurs.
