Apron worn while naked. Seems to be a term invented by TVTropes. Equinox 21:59, 23 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

The citations now added are "naked apron bit" and "naked apron scene": I believe that, here, "naked" modifies "scene" (as in nude scene): it's not a (naked-apron) scene but a naked (apron-scene). So I don't think the cites are valid. Equinox 07:21, 24 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
Some quotes have "naked apron" between quotation marks. I believe this suggests that it's a set phrase.
I got 4 citations (+1 citation for "naked-apron" with an hyphen).
I believe the entry is cited. But if I'm wrong, then maybe this RFV will fail, because I went through all the results for "naked apron" in Google Books and Google Groups and got all the citations I found.
Then again, if we find some uses of "naked towel" meaning "wearing only a towel", "naked bra" meaning "wearing only a bra", etc., then we may want to delete naked apron and add a new definition at naked meaning "wearing only a certain piece of clothing". --Daniel Carrero (talk) 07:41, 24 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
Isn’t it a calque of the Japanese (はだか)エプロン (hadakaepuron), which is quite common? — TAKASUGI Shinji (talk) 16:29, 28 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
