I can usually tell by the weight of a dog what size baby undershirt they will need. I am sure that the size small would fit Kiki.
I also buy the ready made bows on a rubber band for small girls and put them in Ellies hair. She has a long pony tail on top, that I have to trim shorter now and then. When I first had her groomed the groomer cut her hair above her eyebrows and nose. I kept them trimmed that way, too, but at last am letting them grow out. So to keep the hair out of her eyes, it is long enough to put a small rubber band on it, so she has a short stubby pony tail above her nose and the longer one behind that, until the shorter one grows out enough to put in with her long pony tail. It will get there.
I started grooming Ellie myself when she was around 1 1/2 yrs. old. She does really well for me and I do a fair job on her.
I will get some pictures together to post soon. Ellie is a ham and loves to sit and pose for pictures. She is the lighter platinum color. Very pretty coloring. She has big eyes!!! Of course, I think she is beautiful and precious. All of our children are grown and even though we have young grandchildren, I really enjoy having Ellie to pamper and baby here at home. I have a lot of health problems, so I am at home a lot. She is a lot of company for me. When I am laying down trying to cope with the pain I have, she lays on me and gives me a sweet kiss now and then. She seems to know when I am not feeling well.
Your Kiki is adorable.
Thanks for sharing.

What a cute idea for shirts for Ellie. I am not that talented when it comes to making clothing for Kiki .. I just buy from stores or online. And your right, Kiki wears a size small in almost everything. It is so impressive to see other people make clothing. There are so many talented YT members on here.
Looking forward to your photos of Ellie.
