 I would say an apron is tied round the waist, while a similar garment with a bib tied round the neck could be an apron or pinnie. As it happened I was having dinner with some friends last night, and our host greeted us wearing such a garment. After some discussion, we all (males in our 40s and 50s from the UK and Australia) agreed that our mothers might well refer to it as a pinny. Those with kids opined that their daughters would not.
