Title: Clothes needed
Post by: kisumi on March 23, 2009, 04:05:59 PM: Am taking Indie on a long needed shopping spree to get him some new clothes to make him look swish, trouble is i cant seem to find anywhere that sells clothes his size. The closest solution i have found is build a bear who do nice clothes but they dont always fit his body.
Can anyone suggest a good place to get some new gear for him, was thinking a collar or shirt.

Tou can find them at dollar stores or target if you're familiar with that srore. Its sometimes easy to make your own clothes with out sewing. You just need to lay some fabtic over him, find the right pattern, cut it out, then use some velcro or snaps to close it. :)

Ooooh really? I've always thought how cool it would be for Pleo to be more 'pettable'! However, I just assumed cotton would've been used. (which honestly is also completely okay!!)

Getting ants in my pants, IMR!! ;D

Post by: mweed on June 11, 2009, 10:09:24 AM: crushed velour? Silk? ;D
Title: Re: Clothes needed
Post by: InmemoryofRomeo on June 11, 2009, 05:54:34 PM: Baby fleece ;) I did consider silk but it isn't stretchy and I don't want to risk putting any excessive pressure on any of the joints in case it damages Pleo over time, baby fleece is super soft and has just the right stretch to move with Pleo :) I did find some lovely stretchy velours and velvets for for an evening range though ;)

Post by: gucci_boi7782 on June 11, 2009, 06:03:10 PM: oooh baby fleece! That would be splendid!

Sitting on the edge of my chair dying with suspense...

If the store clerk asks you for which dog, you can tell them a chihuahua, which is most likely the closest size. And they range from $9.99 to $39.99.

That's quite a heavy price range! ???

Title: Re: Clothes needed
Post by: InmemoryofRomeo on June 22, 2009, 07:15:16 PM: There are no patterns, you need to make your own I'm afraid, try a small dog coat pattern and modify it a little to fit better. Good luck :)
