🔗 A note on the D-ring:

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


📏 MEASURE YOUR PUP — REQUIRED FOR CUSTOM FIT
This is a made-to-order dress tailored to your pup's measurements. Please provide three measurements in the personalization box at checkout:
1. Neck — Measure around the base of the neck where a collar would sit
2. Chest — Measure around the widest part of the chest, just behind the front legs
3. Back length — Measure from the base of the neck to the base of the tail
📐 Please note: These are handmade garments, not factory-produced. Measurements may vary by up to ½ inch due to the nature of hand-cutting and hand-sewing.
Please measure carefully — if you're unsure or your pup is between sizes, message me before ordering and I'll help you pick the right size.
⚠️ No returns or exchanges on custom-measured made-to-order dresses. Please measure carefully.
