Chef's cover-up garment (5)

I believe the answer is:

apron

(Other definitions for apron that I've seen before include "standing" , "Cook's protector" , "Protective garment - part of stage" , "Protective garment in kitchen" , "Protective garment (with strings attached!)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
