    My Mk. I had a 10 inch apron, tapered out to about 12 at the hem.
    Mk. II will be 13 inches (about 15 at the hem).

    For comparison, my tank's apron is 19 inches at the waist.

    I made mine 9in on the first one, and 1ft on #2. I agree, I like it right in the gap between the choices given, though, I lean towards the smaller end of that gap in preference.

    You should probably have offered the choices as a ratio to hip width. Apron width will vary not only by taste but also by the size of the person.

    I do not fit in your ranges.

    Feel free to interpolate -- for whatever your body size would be, wide or narrow.

    Nearly everyone is selecting the wide option, which is what I was thinking of -- I just wanted to make sure I wasn't making a mistake.
