A little guidance
Help choosing dog dresses
Buying guides and care advice written for this range: what to measure, what matters and what to skip.
From our guides
This page picks the dresses from our dog clothing range: pink gingham harness dresses with lace trim, a leopard fleece harness dress, a gingham lace dress with a bunny, a lace bow tutu, a tutu set with a matching leash and bow collar, a velvet sequin party dress, a cherry ruffle vest dress, and holiday outfits that include dresses. It is for small dogs who wear clothes happily, birthdays, weddings and photos.
Dress styles in this range
Harness dresses have a built-in harness with a leash ring, so the dress is also walking gear. The gingham and leopard fleece versions are practical for everyday wear, and fleece adds warmth on cool days. Tutus and lace bow dresses are lighter and more decorative, best for photos and parties.
The velvet sequin dress suits birthdays and holiday gatherings, the cherry ruffle vest dress is a summer favorite, and a tutu set with a matching leash and bow collar makes a complete outfit for a special day.
Which dogs suit a dress
Dresses work best on small and toy breeds: Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Maltese, Shih Tzus, Pomeranians and small poodle mixes. Their size makes fitting easier and the skirts sit well. Larger dogs can wear harness dresses if the sizing runs big enough.
The most important thing is your dog's comfort. Some dogs barely notice clothing; others freeze or try to scratch it off. Start with a short session at home and watch body language.
Measuring for a dress
The AKC's three key measurements are neck girth where the collar sits, chest girth at the widest part of the rib cage behind the front legs, and back length from the base of the neck to the base of the tail. Chest girth usually decides the size.
If your dog is between sizes, the AKC suggests choosing the larger. For harness dresses, the chest strap must fit snugly enough that your dog cannot back out, with room for two fingers underneath.
Comfort and safety
A dress should not press on the throat, rub under the front legs or restrict movement, and your dog should be able to squat and go to the bathroom without soiling the skirt. Check that bows, lace, sequins and pompoms are firmly attached; loose small parts can be chewed off and swallowed.
Take dresses off when your dog is alone or crated, and do not use a dress as a coat in cold weather unless it is fleece. In heat, a light cotton dress is better than layers of tulle.
Washing and care
Hand wash delicate dresses, tutus and sequin pieces in cool water with a mild detergent and dry flat; tulle crushes in a dryer. Cotton gingham and fleece can usually go in the machine on a gentle cycle in a laundry bag.
Check seams and fasteners after washing. A dress that has shrunk or lost its stretch can become tight across the chest, so re-check the fit before the next outing.
