A cloth-like microporous laminate of a nonwoven fibrous web and thermoplastic film is made by lamination of a microporous-formable film composition and a nonwoven fibrous web followed by incremental stretching to form the cloth-like microporous laminate. The cloth-like microporous laminate has air and moisture vapor permeabilities, but acts as a barrier to the passage of liquids. The cloth-like laminates are especially useful in fabricating garments in order to provide the breathable qualities of air and moisture vapor transmission with liquid-barrier properties. Such garments include baby diapers, baby training pants, catamenial pads and garments, and the like where moisture vapor and air transmission properties, as well as fluid barrier properties, are needed.
