This is a gorgeous set that is hand-machine sewn using cotton black and white damask fabric on the front of the bib and 100% soft cotton terrycloth on the back. Embroidery is done before it's sewn together so you'll never see it from the reverse side! When it's dinner time, just turn the bib over and let the backside get dirty so the front remains clean for a little while longer. It looks great no matter which side you use it on!
