I didn't like skibz either, they don't seem to fit well and don't look very comfy. Plus, I use them for George's dribbling as he's teething, and they get soaked really quickly.
I use Mum 2 Mum bandana bibs. They're £4.50, have a waterproofish type backing (but nice material) and seem to fit really nicely. They don't come in funky patterns but do come in different colours - we have navy and red.
I bought mine from here: http://www.ukmum2mum.co.uk/wonderbibs_bandana.php
