So I take a long reinforced strip of fabric that is doubled up and I used that to put the d-ring on the vest. These vest are shorter in length too, which is great for summer but I actually did this so the d-ring is supporting the chest area. I use nickle casted d-rings so there is no slit in the d-ring and also I sew the d-ring down several times to re-inforce it so it is very secure. The d-ring is in the same location I use on my dresses and I have used them many times with Chloe and Tink and I am able to safely pull up on the leash and lift them up off the ground and out of harms way if need be so I have tested this with my own furbabies
Shana~ THANK YOU! You must have been reading my mind, LOL...those issues were exactly what I was wondering about. It does make perfect sense though, now that I think about it interfering with a nice design on the back! I knew you had a good reason for it. It's reassuring to know that you take all these things into consideration when you're making your clothing; I have had to pull Max up quickly via his leash before and it makes me feel safer to know that what I'm using on him is not only cute and fashionable, but can also be trusted to keep him safe in case of impending disaster! I can't wait to order a couple!
