How to Make Your Dog a Dress

If you have some rudimentary sewing skills it can be a real cost saver to make a dog dress on your own. Even if you do not have the sewing skills but want to learn, making your own dress from a pattern can be a rewarding experience that can bring you and your dog together as you share in the wonderful dress making process. There are a ton of resources out there, some of them being free, that will provide you with step by step instructions on how to fit your dog for a lovely dress.

Here is just a brief overview of the process:

Dog Collars

Measuring Your Dog
In order to get a good fit for the dress that you make you are going to need to take your dog's measurements. The most important measurement is the length of the dog. To get this, simply place a measuring take from the base of your pups neck to the base of their tail, using their back bone as your guide. If you are in the United States this measurement is going to be in inches and if you are in Europe and the rest of the world it is going to be in centimeters.

Making sure that you get the length measurement right is really important to a good fit for your dog.

The next two measurements that you want to take are of the neck and chest. These are pretty easy to measure and are done so much like you would do on a human. Take your measuring tape and wrap it loosely around the base of your dog's neck. For the chest measurement should be made at the largest part of the chest, which is usually found immediately behind the front legs.

Finding Good Patterns
Being able to find a good pattern to use to make your dog dress is only going to be difficult because there are so many different choices out there. I would suggest starting on the internet since there is a large amount of free information available there for those interested in finding it.

If that fails you, you could go to a local pet boutique and see if they have any patterns or have a catalog where patterns may be found.

Costs of Dress Making
If money it tight, then knowing the costs associated with making a dress for your dog is going to be important. You will have to pay for fabric, thread, any needles you need, and a strip of Velcro. Most sewers will already have this so for them it is going to cost them nothing!

Making a dog dress for your pet is a fun and rewarding activity that will give you great memories and make your pet look wonderful.
