The waist is 35 inches.
The length is 30 1/2 inches from the top bodice center to the hemline.
The waist ties are each 51 inches.

Diamond Chemical Co., Inc. was founded in 1930 by Jacob Diamond. The company began as a manufacturer of sodium hypochlorite (liquid bleach), which was sold to consumers door to door, and later to laundromats and commercial laundries. As the company grew, it began manufacturing other products for laundry and dry cleaning, as well as specialty chemicals. As industry in the United States expanded after World War II, Diamond Chemical soon began serving businesses of all kinds, expanding product offerings into ware wash, floor care, housekeeping, organic intermediates, industrial and consumer products. The company later became part of another which then became part of another company, and so on — too much to follow the trail!

* Please keep in mind this apron was created from an authentic vintage cloth sack. Photos show the design and print darker than in actuality. While the apron is described as accurately as possible, due to the vintage quality there may be age marks not noted specifically.
