Oh, and I forgot to mention...I did put the prickly part of the velcro on the top side so that it would not poke at the furbaby wearing the dress.
I think I want to try some wider Velcro. This was the only 'sew on' Velcro they had at my local Wal Mart. All the rest was adhesive backed and I didn't want that kind. I may have to try Kathy's idea of the iron on Velcro. I'll be looking for that. Thanks for the tip Kathy!!!
