Description

The Burnside Bibs are a versatile and customisable overall pattern that come with two different front bib options: a scooped neck or a traditional straight front. Both bib options work with either Version #1 or Version #2 of the pattern.

Version #1 features a more fitted back pant with back waist darts and an invisible side zipper opening, resulting in less gathering in the back. Version #2, on the other hand, is a looser back pant that slips on over your hips and does not require a closure to be sewn. This version is fuller and more gathered in the back, and you can use your hip measurement to determine your size for Version #2.

Both versions of the Burnside Bibs also feature a front waistband, curved front patch pockets, optional back pockets, and cross-back straps that transition to narrower ties that thread through back waist belt loops, forming back waist gathers. The straps can be tied in various ways, including at the back, front, or sides. The wide leg can be made full length or cropped, depending on your preference.

With so many options for customisation and style, the Burnside Bibs are a great addition to any wardrobe. Whether you prefer a more fitted or a looser fit, and whether you want to dress them up or down, these versatile overalls have got you covered.
