    Abstract: A bib garment adapted to resist removal from a front torso of a wearer, and a method of manufacturing the garment is disclosed. The garment includes a front panel covering the front torso of an infant, and an optional “crumb catcher” protruding from the front panel to protect the infant's clothing from soiling by liquid and solid food falling from the infant's mouth. The garment is anchored to the infant by straps and anchor arrangements. Fastener arrangements inaccessible to the infant are provided for fastening the garment to the infant. Thus, the garment is configured to resist removal by the infant while being fed, even when the infant repeatedly pulls or tugs on the garment. An embodiment of the garment for adults, such as an adult suffering from dementia who may attempt to remove the garment, allows feeding without soiling the adult's clothing and resists removal by the adult.
