Apron or No Apron for Big Fair: Deciding on My PC Shirt Outfit

[cookingwithlove]

I am doing a big fair this weekend and I will be wearing a PC shirt. It is the button up one with the collar and 3/4 sleeves, a little more dressy. Should I still wear the apron? I hate wearing the apron, and just put up with it at shows. It just seems so big! Do you think it will draw more people to the booth? If you think it will make a difference, I will wear it.

I don't wear mine at booths as long as I am dressed up and in something that has PC on it!

When I did booths before I got any other PC shirts, I wore my apron. I loved having the pocket to put recipe cards, mini catalogs etc in. The last booth I did, I had plenty of room and was behind a table so I didn't need the pockets in the apron and wore my sparkle PC shirt. I think as long as you are wearing something that says PC your fine.

I don't usually wear my apron at fairs and booths. I often don't wear it at shows.

I don't wear my apron at booths and fairs, but I do make sure to wear a PC shirt. And I never sit or stand behind my table.

At shows, I do wear my apron, but only when I remember to put it on. LOL

I don't tend to bring my apron. If I do, I wear the pink one (maybe even folded mostly for the pocket usage). I wear a name tag and a nice PC shirt. It's not too hard to figure out that I'm the consultant.

I do have to say on this, I didn't have a choice at my last booth. They put us behind the table because it was in a conference room and the only room to stand was behind the table because the walkway was so narrow. I think I heard them discussing a different option next year. I did stand the whole time though while everyone else sat on their chairs...

What's an apron?



Haven't worn one in years (I think it makes me look fatter). I think a nice PC shirt will be perfect.

If you don't want to wear the apron, then "just say no"!! :0)

Seriously, the excitement in your voice and the smile on your face is all you need to attract attention! Just make sure your display is beautiful and inviting, and it should be just fabulous!!

Lots of luck!

No apron! I think you will look more approachable and not so "stiff" without an apron on ! :balloon:

Wearing an apron would be fine if you're cooking... so long as you've got a PC shirt on (so you can be identified not just by your booth) you should be fine.

I never wear my apron! It bugs me and doesn't look too flattering.

 

[Rebeccascabinet]

I wear a PC shirt and no apron to all my shows/fairs- very unflattering

 

[Debala715]

I wear my apron, I find it handy for pens, recipe cards, business cards, etc.

i tried my apron on once and it made me look aweful, i never put it on again. if they had one that was more flattering i would wear it. lol

I wish they would come out with a half apron...you know, just from your waist down to your knees? Many times at my shows, I will fold mine down and wear it like that. I like to have my towel handy (run it through the tie string) and have my pockets for door prize slips and I always keep a brown scraper in there for my stoneware talk.

I love this idea! I have 3 aprons & I never wear any of them!

 

[ginamkiely]

i might have to try that one kelly, thanks for the tip. i would like to have my cards and pens handy while i'm doing a show, not a bad idea. now i want the dots apron. lol

My director gives her Future Directors red aprons. They fit way better than the denim ones, plus it's red!! I have worn that at the last two fairs/expos that I have done along with a white 3/4 sleeve PC blouse.

The denim one is down in the laundry, never to be near my kit again!!
