Default Desing idea for Harness Vest

Since so many of you sew I was wondering what you thought of my idea. I need an easy on/off harness for Lola when she goes out to potty, I have arthritis in my hands so I don't like dealing with clips and hooks a bunch of times a day. Currently we use a velcro harness that looks like the top of a lot of the dresses you make. Mu current harness like the dresses have the velcro under the neck and the chest. Lola has lots of hair so it tends to get gets stuck and some times she pulls, so eventually the velcro seems to pull away from the fabric and get plugged with her hair. On occasion after thinking I strapped her in securely part of the harness will come loose. This of course worries me.

My thoughts are if the velcro was on the top of the harness it would be easier to put on and last longer. Putting the velcro on the top of the neck, should be easy but on the chest part there would have to be a slit on the top layer that you could slide over the ring that would be attached to the bottom layer. I also think there would need to be velcro strips below the ring. Do you think this design is feasible? If so I would love a few made that I would pay for thanks Donna
