Answer 2

The baby doesn't need an an apron. "An Apron" is a consonant drift from "A Napron" ... and is *not* an extensive covering. The kid needs either a *smock* or a cover-all.



Take a larger pretty blouse, long enough to cover whatever needs to be covered *including sleeves*. Turn it front-to-back and turn the original neckline corners inside in the now-back to make a V opening to the waist and attach ties of purchased ribbon at the side seams. Leaning back on a bow is *not* comfortable so tie in the front or on one side, good luck with that.



Roll the sleeves either up or under and up if necessary.



Maybe she'll eventually "grow" into the cover-all and wear it as a blouse someday. :-)
