🔗 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 outfit attachment point.
📏 SIZING — PLEASE CHECK BEFORE PURCHASING
This is a ready-to-ship item in a standard size. Please refer to the size chart photo in this listing to make sure the size you're selecting will fit your pup. Measure your dog's neck, chest, and back length and compare to the chart 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.

⚠️ Handmade Variation Notice: Button placement, cross-strap positioning, and ruffle placement may vary slightly depending on cut and material availability. Each dress is individually handcrafted, ensuring every piece is one of a kind.
