The problem with that is that bigger dogs have so many different body types. For the most part smaller or toy sized dogs typically have similar body types (except doxies I guess). For the big dog clothing market to take off it's really have to be more breed specific. Just too much work for a large manufacturer to do. I guess there is a market then for hand made OOAK stuff like you'd find on Etsy, but going mainstream I doubt it.
Also keep in mind that an outfit that's not fit correctly on a small dog isn't so noticable. A half an inch here or there, but for example, an armhole that's off on a larger dog it will really show.
