How about seersucker for summer aprons? They are already wrinkled and contain some polyester. When my children were babies, seersucker was all cotton and I made summer-weight receiving blankets from it. Love them!

Kaufman makes a poly/cotton blend poplin https://www.fabric.com/collection/ro...erfecto-poplin Denim also comes in different weights. This is a shirt weight denim, only 4 ounces https://www.joann.com/sew-classic-bo.../11771649.html. It is much lighter than the 7-12 ounces bottomweights.

One of the ladies in the guild here in Florida showed an apron (not a bib) to be used while dining in a restaurant. Using two yards of fabric folded lengthwise and stitched to make a rectangle. Could be lined with plastic and pockets added. It is to be placed over the shoulders and overlapped in the front and a portion will lay on the lap. Much more dignified than the bib style and of course, much prettier.

Maybe use terricloth . I would be warmer and you could make from old or ceaper towels.

Have ;you seen the kitchen boas. They are a strip of fabric going around the neck hanging down as far as you like. Then stitch hand towels or washcloths at the ends to spread out and wipe hands. Don't know if this would give you the coverage you want but is nice looking.
