Striped Cotton Dog Tank Top with Contrast Binding

Horizontal stripes run across this simple cotton dog tank top. Dark contrast binding finishes the neck, two front-leg openings and curved lower edge. The sleeveless body leaves the rear legs uncovered, without a hood or separate skirt. Gray, yellow, green, light blue, red and black-and-white stripe options share the same tank shape.

XS, S, M and L have separate neck, chest and back measurements. XS has a 6.5–8.5-inch neck range,11.8-inch chest and 7.9-inch back. L has a 12–14-inch neck range,17.7-inch chest and 13.8-inch back. Compare all three with your dog rather than choosing from a weight or breed label. Our dog-clothes guide explains how to measure the body and check room at the front-leg openings.

Guide the front legs through the two openings, smooth the body panel and check that the neckline and bound edges sit comfortably. Watch your dog stand, turn and walk before continuing the dressing session. The cotton top is an outfit rather than sun-protection or cooling equipment. Remove loose hair, clean the fabric gently and reshape the neck and hem before allowing both faces to dry completely.
