But they're too pretty!

No, they're not! Well, yes, they are pretty, but they are not TOO pretty to use! When I use vintage textiles in my designs, those textiles have already been through an extensive cleaning process. They have been machine washed, soaked overnight, machine washed again, and then either lined dried or machine dried. If they don't hold up to that, I won't use them.

"The bibs are too pretty to use!" I hear this all the time. I have 4 kids; I know what happens to a bib. Yes, these bibs are special, and I don't intend for Baby to wear them while eating peas and squash. But if your baby is a drooler like some of mine were, you know the struggle to find a suitable bib for a special occasion. Or maybe you have a 6 month or 1 year old photo shoot planned--these bibs would be perfect paired with a simple diaper cover!

How should you care for your special bib? Best Practice: Machine wash cold, line dry. If stains persist, soak in Oxyclean and wash again.
