Doggy Style Dress
Dress your pooch in a doggy style dress with this free dog sewing pattern from Erika Lindquist! Use scraps from your fabric stash and sew up a quick little frock for a girly dog.
Materials:
- Jean pocket from an old pair of jeans for the back
- Leftover fabric for the skirt
- Ribbon for the straps
- Old shirt fabric for the "tube" part underneath
Instructions:
- Gather the skirt part with your sewing machine.
- Stitch it to the bottom of the denim pocket.
- Attach the tube underpart from one side of the pocket to the other.
- Sew on the ribbon however you'd like the straps to go.
BIG dogs: You can have this dress too. Just put the pocket on top of a tank and attach the skirt to the tank. I used stretchy fabric for the tube so it could be easily slipped on and fitted.

How stinking adorable is this little dress. So many color combos floating through my head right now. I purchased a darling dress a lot like this one for $25 for my Papillon years ago. I wasn't one to dress my dogs but she honestly loved to put her little dress on. I put a metal ring on the jean pocket so I could hook her leash. She would strut her stuff when wearing it. Trying to think who has a little girl dog that needs this!

I love making things for my grand dogs and all their friends and the next thing on my list is a tutu for the girls and a shirt for the boys.I like to make them bow ties and hair bows and I think they are so cute wearing these. I love this tutorial. It is so easy with very little sewing and you can add lace and bows to it too. Very fun project and great for beginner or advanced sewers. Super cute.

I love this idea, I have a five year old rescue pittbull who had a bad start in her little life, I would love to try make her one of these in her size... The breed has such a bad reputation that people are terrified of her of her and she's a sweet heart- at Christmas we got her a Santa hat and people came over to pet her (she lapped it up like the princess she is- she doesn't understand why people don't want to do it all the time) that I think if input something like this on her people might be more encouraged to come over and get to know her sweet breed! Thank you for this idea)

Pity for the haters who have time to waste being nasty. I loved this pattern as a basic starter for a wardrobe I have actually given and the recipients have posted on FB how cute they are....Thank you!

Geez, I've read all of these comments and it disappoints me in humans all together again. First of all it is a FREE pattern. It is something some people enjoy doing with their pets. All I have seen here is a bunch of hateful comments. Ladies, if you don't like it then by all means don't make it. Thank you for the idea whomever posted this ....

This is not a pattern for a doggy dress. I was expecting something that I could cut out and stitch together like the doggy clothes I see in the pet stores or even at Ross. This looks like scraps, and I would be embarrassed to take my sweet little dog out in that. But, then, we live in a world where letting it all hang out is okay and paying for jeans your mom wouldn't have picked up at a Goodwill is considered stylish. :( I'm just disappointed.

Cute dress - probably a silly custom to "dress" dogs, but hey - who cares? If you're going to dress them up, it's great to have some sewing ideas!

well, you asked....I think it's ok to put a coat on a small dog if it's a breed with little or no hair - like a chi - that's just practical in cold weather, but dressing them like humans and using terms like "doggy style" - too silly. I'm just glad that no little old ladies got insulted by this , but if they're LOLs they probably wouldn't even pick up on the sexual inuendo....

It is adorable, however, different sized jeans create different pockets, and what size dog is this for. How large a iece is the fabric for the skirt. I would like to make some of these to be sold for our fundraisers.
