I never understood the half apron. If I get food on my clothes, it's usually in the bosom area so those half aprons don't keep me clean! My mom used a smock style that slipped over her head and tied on the sides at the waist. Covered the entire upper body and had plenty of pockets for things. Don't see those kind much anymore.
My grandma and great aunt both wore the full body apron, as did others of their generation. All the pockets made sense.
