Abstract
Methods for securing bibs to garments and related articles of clothing. Various schemes are disclosed for securing a bib to a mating garment using one or more points of attachment employing a respective mating pair of fastener halves at each point of attachment. The schemes include employment of a mating pair of fasteners to secure the lower portion of a bib to the front of a garment. Meanwhile, in some embodiments the neck straps of a bib are secured to the back of the neck area of the garment.

A set of clothing, comprising:
- a garment configured to be worn by a baby, toddler, or child, including a plurality of snap fasteners arranged in a line to couple a left-hand front portion of the garment to a right-hand front portion of the garment, one of said plurality of snap fasteners comprising a stackable snap fastener disposed proximate to a chest area of the garment and including a socket comprising a first fastener half disposed on a face side of the garment and configured to receive a mating stud;
- and
- a mating bib, including a second fastener half comprising a stud disposed on the underside of the bib configured to mate with the socket and disposed toward a lower portion of the bib to secure the lower portion of the bib to the chest area of the garment when the stud and socket are mated.
A sleeper, configured to be worn by a baby, toddler, or small child, comprising:
- a left-hand portion and a right hand portion coupled to one another via a plurality of snap fasteners in a front of the sleeper in an overlapping manner,

A set of clothing, comprising:
- a sleeper configured to be worn by a baby, toddler, or child, including a plurality of snap fasteners arranged in a line to couple a left-hand front portion of the sleeper to a right-hand front portion of the sleeper, one of said plurality of snap fasteners comprising a stackable snap fastener disposed proximate to a chest area of the sleeper and including a socket comprising a first stacked snap fastener half disposed on a face side of the sleeper and configured to receive a mating stud, the sleeper further comprising a first fastener half disposed proximate to a backside neck area of the sleeper;
- and
- a mating bib, including,
- a main body including a stud disposed on the underside of a lower portion of the main body and configured to mate with the socket of the first stacked snap fastener half to secure the lower portion of the main body to the chest area of the sleeper when the stud and socket are mated;
- and
- a left arm and right arm coupled to the main body, having a means for coupling the left arm to the right arm, and further comprising a second fastener half disposed on an underside of one of the left or right arm to couple the left or right arm to the backside neck area of the sleeper when the second fastener half is coupled to the first fastener half.
