ABSTRACT:
A bib having a neck-accommodating aperture defined by a segmented perimetric edge: i.e., a segmented neck-aperture perimeter. The neck-accommodating aperture is generally oval-shape and the sheet material from which the bib is constructed has a plurality of bifurcations such as slits or notches which extend generally radially outwardly from the perimetric edge of the neck-accommodating aperture. Each pair of adjacent bifurcations define a portion of bib material which is attached to the parent bib material along only a proximal-end-defining line and which portion is designated a petal. The petals are readily conformable to a range of neck sizes and will, due to inherent resilience of the bib material, maintain a comfortable fit even during infant neck contortions. In an exemplary embodiment, the distal end portions of such petals are doubled under and have their distal ends secured adjacent their proximal ends to obviate raw cut edges of such portions from contacting users' necks.
