Jennifer,
The University of Rhode Island maintains the Commercial Pattern Archive (http://www.uri.edu/library/special_collections/COPA/) maintains a collection of commercial patterns with dates of publication. The archive can be searched online via subscription or you can order the CD's.

I'd look to periodicals from that era, ladies magazines such as Peterson's. I just checked Google Books and found a number of related publications that may have images of what you're looking for, available for online viewing. If you register for, or have a Google account, you can save these books to your online "library" for future reference. You can also do searches within the text of any book that has been uploaded, so finding references to aprons will be simplified. There is also a link to regional library databases to allow you to find that book in a library within whatever radius you choose, and to place a request for an inter-library loan. There are numerous textile conservation publications available, as well.
If the link below is not interactive, you can do a Google Search for Google Books, and from that site search for Peterson's magazine.

I would think pattern companies would be a good place to begin. Most of the aprons I've seen were sewn at home.

Hello all,
It seems that aprons frequently show up on our
acquisitions list & since I am the only person here that
deals with textiles, I am often asked to help verify dates.
Does anyone know of any good sources to help sort out what
cuts & styles of aprons were popular during what periods
in the 19th century???
Thank you,
Jennifer
