Clothes and shoes are not just for people. Dogs can wear dresses and shoes that complement your personality, as well as their owners. Finding the right outfit, it can be difficult. The clothing and footwear do not always fit with the dog or may not agree with the fashion sense of the owner.

What You’ll Need:

  • Tape
  • Needle
  • Thread

  • Accounts
  • Sequins
  • Sewing machine
  • Scissors
  • Web
  1. Decide what type of costume you would like to take your dog. You can put any kind of clothing that a human can use, such as dresses, shorts and jackets.
  2. Measure the body and feet of your dog, with a tape measure so you can know how many yards of material need.
  3. Buy items you need to make your dog clothes, such as cloth, beads and sequins. They find them in your regular craft store. Remember to buy a pattern to make the dress.

Instead, choose cottons or knits to be used for warm weather dog clothing.
