This is English so this comes from England. Surprisingly, this is not an idiom. There is no figurative aspect to this saying. Bib and Tucker refers to clothing. Specifically a woman's clothing in the 17th century. To say someone is wearing their best bib and tucker you are saying they are wearing their best clothes.
