I need a bib that stays in place. Perhaps one that ties
around the front. Who's offering a good bib? where do I
get one? HELP!!!

Not so. |

Not so. | I got this one from David Gage. They seem to carry them sporadically. I suggest you give them a call and ask for Ruth Conroy. I have also used the Kolstein bib and I greatly prefer the one from Gage.

Hey, if you can sew, great! I can't and for the price it wouldn't be worth it to me to try and fashion one myself even if I could sew. |

| | Oracle, Ancient Order of Rass Hattur | | Join Date: Apr 2004 Location: Connecticut | | | I can make mine as snug as I wish by adjusting how it is tied-- and I didn't have to sew a thing. Again, given how little these things cost, I just don't see the percentage in a DIY job. |

That is, unless one is particularly adept at such things and already has the right equipment, etc. I also was not happy with the Kolstein and Lemur type of bibs. The beautiful bib from Gage ran me all of $30+. Did you ever try the Gage? It is soft material with a nice backing.

If you want to make one yourself, or use mom's kitchen apron (?!), go right ahead, but I'm with drurb on this one. Any bib that I'd be able to make would look like crap, and the trade off of 30 whole dollars versus the time wasted getting the material, fitting it, and sewing it together was one I was more than willing to make. |

This is exactly what I've been looking for. I didn't anything
on the Gage site when I looked. I'll call them this week.
Hope they still sell this bib. Thanks for the info. |

exactly what I've been looking for. Cheap, made well, and
doesn't budge a bit. They didn't have it on the web site.
I had to call and order it. Took a week total from NY to LA. |  | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
