The dress looks like it is mostly a yellowy- green in the pic but in real life the background is lime green.It has a pink ribbon sewn on to it to hide the seam where I attached the skirt to the bodice.




Modeling makes me tired, mom!

This is Martini's new dress I finished today. I love it. There are a few minor things I would change, but overall, it is a great first try. I am going to make her a pink, red, and white hawaiin print dress next. Can't wait! She looks so cute, and she knows it. She is going to wear her new dress to the vet tomorrow.

Lol, yeah I made it. Thanks. It didn't take too long either. I got the pattern off the internet for free and just kind of eyeballed it and cut the dress out. There are quite a few oopsies on the dress though. You can't tell from the pictures, but the stitching is messed up in some parts, and the ribbon isn't sewn on the right way. Just little things. But for the purpose of wearing it around the house or to the pet store, it works just fine. I love making dog clothes, but I am such a perfectionist, I get mad when they don't come out perfect.

You guys are too kind. Thanks for all the compliments. Martini is not much of a model tonight... she just wants to sleep. I finished the second dress and it only took me about 2 hours to do. I am very happy with how they turned out. Here is the second dress.








Which one do you guys like better? I think the skirt is a bot poofy on the second one. What do you guys think? Any critiques/comments? Thanks!

Lol, just noticed that the velcro is coming undone in the pics. Hehe. And forgot to add, this time I only made one velcro-section, under the belly area. The front straps were sewn together, so it just slips over her head, like a halter top. Trying to conserve velcro here. Haha.
