  pinafore
The term "pinafore apron" is also often applied to elaborately frilly bib aprons with shoulder straps that criss cross in the back and tie in a ribbon.
Pinafores appear to have evolved from the often dressy aprons were worn whenever a woman was at home even in the evenings.
The difference is that a pinafore is designed to cover all of a person's clothes, in the case of girls all of the dress except the sleeves.

Every block and rope to the minutest detail is in its place, in fact it is an exact model of what it represents; and thanks no doubt to the untiring diligence of the author the piece is admirably represented all round.
The success of "H.M.S. Pinafore" having proved an established fact, it entered into the mind of the stage-manager, Richard Barker, that a performance of the opera by a company of children might prove attractive.

However,Sullivanincluded a slection from Pinafore at the Covent Garden Proms and this seemed to work in popularising the score

These sentiments encourage Ralph Rackstraw to propose to Josephine, who, however, temporizes and rebukes him for raising his eyes to the daughter of his commanding officer: "Sir, you forget the disparity of our ranks." In despair, Ralph decides to take his life, and has actually put the pistol to his head when Josephine intervenes.

 HMS Pinafore
Kudos to the Barn for tackling such a difficult project; about 95 percent is sung, not spoken, and the characters – delightfully cartoonish one and all – sing/speak in duos, trios, ensembles and solos, intersecting one another via odd changes of meter and tone.
It's the story of Ralph Rackstraw, a common tar (sailor) aboard her majesty's ship, the Pinafore, at anchor off Portsmouth.
Handsome young Ralph is in love with Josephine, the captain's daughter, but since she's above his station, their marriage is out of the question.
