Summary
A woman's apron for a nurse, made from white linen. The bibbed apron is undecorated, with two patch pockets, two cotton twill neck ties and a button fastening on the waist, button missing. Handwritten onto an inner seam centre back, waist level, the name "McClatchie". This probably relates to a previous owner/user of the apron, as these items were often passed down to other nursing colleagues.
