This embroidery is a mix of cotton and silk designing in blue and red, a nice clothe for a small girl. We can estimate that it was produced at the end of the XIXe century or at the early XXe.The region of origin is very difficult to specify without a specific expertize on the subject.
But I am expecting some reactions and potential advice from the nice Blog of Eugene Baryshnikov, who is maintainer of LJ-community "Ethnography of Belarus".
I will try to share information each month on the Brocard's blog. See you soon.

I can definitly say, it is not a Belarusian apron ;) Sorry, I don't know much about Russian.
You see, since Russian Empire was hell big and ethnically heterogenous, traditional arts from different regions varies a lot.
There is an opinion, that this is not an apron at all.
It is hard to say definitly, because there is nothing on the image to define a real size of this element.
But it looks like a shoulder part of shirt (so called "palik") with stand-up collar attached.
In old times ornate sleeves and shoulder-parts were often inherited by women from their mothers' and grandmothers' shirts. When the shirt becames a worn-out, they cut richly embriodered parts (sleeves and shoulders) and attach them on a new shirt.
