This is an official announcement that I’ll be taking commissions for canine clothing — in the hard to fit Extra Small, Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large sizes. Thank you to the local pet supply shop which has provided me with opportunities to talk to customers about their needs for their dogs.
Our friend Nissa Nicole adopted an adorable, small Hairless American Terrier named Hank. Hank is very cold here in Northern California, what with all the rain and wind. I told Nissa that I’d make some clothes for him that are befitting a canine of his gender, needs and stature. I’m starting out with a masculine-patterned jacket for him using John Deere tractor logo fabric. It will be easy to wash and look fetching. Another friend of the Emporium has adopted a Xolo — Xoloitzcuintli (SHOW-low-eats-QUEENT-lee.) We’re making a Chanukka jacket for this hairless dog, as well.
I’ve done a lot of modifications of existing garments for dogs, to help them fit more comfortably on the dog. I’ve also made a custom-designed dog collar and a large-sized dog bed.
Note: if your dog has long hair, you probably don’t need a garment. But for hairless and short-haired species who were bred for very warm climates, they may need something to snuggle in, don’ t you agree?
Please do e-mail us with your requests.
Your Canine Couturier,
Suzette
