Cute Puppies Costumes app for iPhone and iPad

I think that no matter how you personally feel about dogs, we can all agree that dog costumes are hilarious. Yes, its true that we are laughing at them, and not with them, but as long as theyre willing to play along with it I dont think theres necessarily anything wrong with that.

Its actually pretty easy to make a costume for a dog, just as long as you keep a few basic concepts in mind.

A simple, standard pattern for a dog costume has only three basic pieces. Hats are not necessary, nor is covering up any areas that you probably shouldnt be covering up, if you catch my drift. An additional huge bonus to this pattern is that you dont have to force your dogs arms or head into sleeves or neckholes; it all attaches together around him while he just stands there.

Use some tracing paper or scrap fabric to make your pattern pieces. The first piece is a "coat" that covers the back and torso; second, a "cumberbund" that attaches the sides of the coat around the belly, and the "neckpiece or shirtfront" that attaches the sides of the coat around the front (and also down to the cumberbund if desired for your design). Use a tape measure to determine the proper dimensions of these pieces for your dog.

You will permanently attach one side of both the cumberbund and the shirtfront to a side of the coat. Pick a closure device to attach the other sides - Ive always used velcro, but buttons or snaps are fine if thats what you have. If you have a full shirt front youll want to add another closure connecting the bottom to the center front of the cumberbund.

You can even dress him as a legendary dog - just add heads.
All of these costumes have the same basic structure.

Design, embellish and bedazzle your basic pattern pieces in whatever way works best for you. Obviously it helps if you can sew, but its not entirely necessary. Its not like the dog is going to need to wear this outfit for extended periods of time and for years to come. You can get the same results, more or less, using glue, staples or even duct tape. Just make sure whatever materials you use are not too heavy and do not chafe the dog or make him uncomfortable.


And also, halloween is just around the corner, and that can only mean one thing: Pet owners everywhere will soon be scrambling to find the perfect outfit for their dog.
