The Burnside Bibs are versatile overalls that can be dressed up or down. Shoulder straps transition to narrow ties with several options for tying.
They're versatile and can be dressed up with with a blouse and smart shoes or dressed down with a t-shirt or thin jumper and trainers for a more casual look through the day.
Version #1 is a more fitted back pant with back waist darts and an invisible side zipper opening with less gathering in the back.
Version #2 is a loose back pant that slips on over your hips and does not have a closure to sew. This version is fuller and more gathered in the back. Use your hip measurement to determine your size.
Both versions 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. They may be tied in many ways - at the back, front or sides. The wide leg can be made full length or cropped.
