What a great idea....I would recommend like a little pocket or 'troff' on the bottom, for the food that doesn't get into the mouth and rolls down the 'bib'...its kinda like the stop bumper on the bottom. You could just fold up the bottom perhaps 2-3" and sew the side seams....And yes make them pretty and interesting....I like the idea of a tuxedo for the men, a pointed white collar, perhaps a red bowtie, a shirt with buttons.....perhaps a colorful holiday vest.....can you not picture it....
