Now, I don't feel silly dressing them up, it's really fun. And, especially since I had sons, it's great to finally get to dress up a little girl!

Same.

I start with a little coat because it is so cold winter time in Canada..... and why not a little sweater for the fall, oh and we need a raincoat for the rainy days...eventually... the dress wheren't looking silly anymore and start looking irresistible.We now looove them!

Molly is such a tomboy, she just wouldnt look right in a dress. I have to settle for some nice pink harnesses. She does wear a knitted coat in the really cold weather though and she has one with some pink in it.

Bella has some very pretty dresses but looks absolutely silly in them.

So I stay with shirts and sweaters and of course her coats. She doesn't love them but she deals with 'em.

LOL I can tell you want to dress up your baby....you know you do...come on put a dress on her....now add a matching bow...there you go...see doesn't she just melt your heart!!!

I'm 38 and I've always but coats on my dogs (well I grew up in PA so the little ones needed them). I had a doberman girl that loved getting her coats on. She would jump up and down to get a coat on and would sleep under a blanket. She seemed to have a favorite too so when we had to have her put to sleep that coat was on her and was cremated with her.

If someone says something to me about my baby's dresses I tell them she's not a dog, she's my baby and if they wanted to start paying my bills then they can give me their opinions on what my baby wears and how I treat her. That usually covers the comments Can't wait for you to start sharing photos of your baby in her outfits. We love seeing them!!

I do not usually dress Edie. When we lived in Maine, I used a coat for her, but that was a practical decision. She is a little nudist, now that we are in Arizona, because clothes make her fur mat up pretty badly.

HOWEVER, when I was at the YT meetup in Alexandria last year, we succumbed to peer pressure, and Edie wore a cute little dress!

I've always dressed my lil girls and never gave a thought about it being silly. They know when they look "cute."

[dtrahan511]

No, I don't feel silly at all!!! In fact, people are so accustomed to seeing her dressed now, they ask why she's "not dressed" if they see her without a cute outfit!!! How funny!

[yorkie_mama22]

I don't feel silly putting coats or sweaters on them when its warm. Lola actually has a harness that is a little dress. So she wears that regardless I have not bought any dresses. Maybe I will buy one or two but I don't really dress them up much unless it's needed. I hate putting stuff on them and they don't really like getting dressed up too much either. Zach likes to hide

[noangelx]

Zoe doesn't seem to really like clothes very much...She will roll around trying to get clothes and bows off of her lol

[jackieblackwell]

I used to think that people that dressed up their dogs were SO silly until I got Bella. She looks so adorable with a bow in her hair and her little outfits. She even has her own closet now!

I have a little female Dixie who is 1 yr and 8 months old. My twin daughters each have a male yorkie, Teddy who is 1yr and 8 months and Max who is 2 yrs old. These little ones have more clothes than I have. My daughters and I enjoy buying them matching outfits and also making them. It makes it easier to tell them apart, to catch them when they are running past you and easier to spot up in the backyard. They have worn little dresses, shirts, sweater, coats and even have swimsuits and bathrobe every since they were just tiny. They know they look good and I think know when they have something new on. I think they feel something is not right when they are not dressed. I am getting a little sister for Dixie who was just born on Valentines Day. I have already ordered her from the breeder. She will most likely be named Dolly! She will get all of Dixies baby clothes that she outgrew. I am excited and looking forward to it. It is true that clothes for females are so cute but male dogs have some cute ones also, you just have to look around. Patterns are easy to follow, with some sewing knowledge you can make some adorable things.

Nope, not at all. Of course it is a bit easier if the dress wearer is actually a girl . Here is Emmitt the Cross-dresser. I didn't have a "girl model" small enough, so Emmitt was a good sport.

That is a stunning dress!! I bet my Zach would look just as good as Emmitt in it! LOL I have to admit I put on one of Stormy's old sweaters that was blue and pink on Zach for a walk one day hehehe but SHH Don't tell him there was pink on it.

[lexipoo]

Lexi has worn clothes since day one...well 8 weeks old. And I must say
she looks funny without clothes on...honestly, she looks nekkid...
She doesn't like being nekkid either she will go sit by her dresser until you
put something on her...
Hugs Cheryl & Lexi

This is how I feel. I am living out my "daughter" fantasy with Bonnie. I had two boys and always wanted a prissy little girl.
