1952.
If two points describe a line, then two aprons featuring dogs describe a trend, and McCall seems to be blazing the trail. You'll recall their his-and-hers "in the dog house" aprons from 1942.
Ten years later, that happy couple have produced the lovely family you see here. The menfolk wear straightforward butcher's aprons while Mother and Sissy sport bouffant numbers. Notice that even their gingerbread gals wear skirts. And I just don't know what to make of the pooch's bib. They can't be serious. But the bib does have a gingerbread dog on it.
Merry Christmas, everybody!
