| Welcome to Yorkie Talk and congratulations on the new addition! Some people have had luck with ferret harnesses from the pet store. Funny, but true!

| Oh good idea I would have never thought of a ferret harness! Thanks I've tried the Lil pals still not small enough... I also tried a cat collar just for looks and still not small enough! LOL thanks for the help! |

YT 2000 Club Member | I have a Puppia harness that fits Tatiana. She is 1.6 lbs and it a little loose but not bad. It is an xs but it has velcro that is adjustable to fit.

| If I was you I would have one custom made by Karen at Gracie Paw Prints in IN, she is on ETSY. Her harnesses are like little vests with ruffles on the bottom. Very cute and safe for walking, with the velcro it could give you some adjustment for growth and they go off and on easily, sometime I keep Lola in one all day. She is not very expensive, you could get one for around $16.00 made to the size you want. I will come back and post a link to her site.

| just this morning I came across The gracie paw facebook page, so I posted several pictures of Lola wearing her harness dresses, I posted the link below if you care to check it out. You can also get the harnesses without the little skirt. I have her make the skirts a little longer since that is my preference. I do have some traditional harnesses as well, I find the less strap adjustment the easier the vest is to work with and I like the step in type. I have a puppia style vest bought at Wallmart, guess I will get that link to. And the one they call step in, this one has thin straps and does not show when worn under fancy dresses that do not have d rings. In my opinion there are a lot of overpriced harnesses out there and some are tricky to put on. With a puppy I would not invest a lot until you decide on what style fits your needs.

| This is the style I have from Wallmart, very good price but on line it does not look like anything small enough, however right now Wallmart is putting out their spring stuff for pets, it's a free standing display somewhere near their pet department and they have this type of vest in pretty colors in very small sizes, I saw it at mine a week or so ago. but go quick all the very small pet stuff sells out quickly. They also had cute leashes, beds, sundresses and bathing suits for cheap prices and cute colors. Good luck, hope you find what you are looking for.

| oh that is just about the cutest picture i have seen, what a beautiful little girl. That dress is so prety and similiar to what I was talking about. Did you sew that, if you did and sew for others perhaps the OP should talk to you. And if you are a sewer you should join us on the YT fashion forum.
