Pinafore is a sleeveless garment traditionally worn as an apron or protective layer over clothing, particularly by women and children. The name comes from “pin” and “afore,” meaning it was originally pinned to the front of a dress. First appearing in the 18th century, pinafores were practical items used to protect clothing from dirt and wear, especially for domestic work or play. Over time, the pinafore became associated with children’s attire, evolving into a stylish yet functional dress form. It has since re-emerged in fashion as a retro, versatile piece.
