"It’s was too darn cute and funny of a costume for my orange baby! It fit well sadly not so much in the head area but he also doesn’t like getting his head covered so didn’t matter too much just cause he only wore it for pictures but not the whole time"
"Super cute banana suit but the hat is a little too white and pointy if you see what I'm getting at. I love the idea of a banana costume but wasn't super pleased to have my dog looking like a little white supremacist. Will probably just have her wear the suit without the hat."
