Handmade pet apparel in stock and ready to go

💡 Perfect for: 4th of July parades, Memorial Day, Labor Day, yacht club outings, boat rides, beach trips, coastal weddings, nautical-themed parties, photo shoots, dog show ring photos, summer cookouts, or any day your pup wants to channel classic seaside style.
🔗 A note on the D-ring:

XXS, XS, and Small include a built-in D-ring for light leash walks
Medium and Large do NOT include a D-ring — for safety reasons, larger and stronger dogs need a proper walking harness rather than a fabric dress attachment point.


📏 SIZING — PLEASE CHECK BEFORE PURCHASING
This is a ready-to-ship item in a standard size — not custom. Please refer to the size chart photo in this listing and measure your pup's neck, chest, and back length to make sure the size you're selecting will fit before ordering.
📐 Please note: These are handmade garments, not factory-produced clothing. Measurements may vary by up to ½ inch from the size chart due to the nature of hand-cutting, hand-sewing, and natural fabric behavior. This is normal for handmade pet apparel and is not considered a defect. If your pup is right on the edge of a size, please size up for comfort.
If you're between sizes or unsure, message me before purchasing — I'm happy to help you pick the right one.

🧺 CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Machine wash cold on gentle cycle
Lay flat or hang to dry
Do NOT iron directly on the trim, bow, or collar details


⚠️ Handmade Variation Notice: Each dress is individually handcrafted in New York. Minor variations in fabric placement, ric-rac alignment, or trim details may occur — your pup's dress will be genuinely one-of-a-kind.
