An improved infant bib includes: (a) a central piece of material having right and left side edges of length Y, and configured so to cover the frontal area of an infant's trunk, (b) a pair of shoulder extensions, each of which extends from proximate a top edge corner of the central piece, (c) a pair of underarm extensions, each of which extends from a central piece side edge and are configured so as to form an underarm strap that extends around the side of the trunk of an infant and under it's arm, (d) wherein each of the shoulder extensions' end edges being fastened to the underarm extension that extends from the same side of the central piece, and wherein the length of this underarm extension from its point of attachment to the central piece to its point of attachment with the shoulder extension end edge has a magnitude of X, and (e) wherein in order to provide the bib with sufficient three-dimensional shape and desired fitting characteristics, the ratio of the specified lengths, X/Y, is chosen to have a value less than one and as dictated by the shape of the torso of the infant wearer.
