Highlighted Reviews

— Elena

"Such a fun costume! He was a big hit at the pup parade! The hat wouldn't stay on but in the end he didn't need it"

— Elise

"This costume is so stupidly designed and difficult to put on. The Velcro doesn’t line up and the body comes apart in two pieces and never went back together and the size descriptions are inaccurate. The body part was huge and the hat was way way too small"
