Highlighted Reviews

— Janet

"Such a perfect, adorable costume! The size is just right."

— Ashley

"I purchased this in XL for my 30-lb shiba inu and it did not fit right at all. The head piece and arms were way too short to fit his body so we went without a costume this year :("

Bottom Line

While adorable, the Rubie's Sweet Sunflower costume suffers from poor sizing which makes it a hit or miss. Thorough measurements are recommended before buying.
