Highlighted Reviews

— NadaTaylor

"The costume fitted my dog quite well. She weighs 11.5 lbs and I got her a small size. Obviously, she didn't accept to leave the hat on. But she still looked cute."

— Romelerie

"The dress was so cute but the balls on the collar and headband most of them fell off easily! Very cheaply made for its price. Disappointed in quality of this outfit."

Bottom Line

The costume is a good choice if you are looking for a fun, quirky look for your pet, but consider it more of a disposable item and be prepared to reinforce or repair it to last.
