Is there still a demand for Yorkie clothes?

[my2boyz]

I am trying to find something to keep me busy...yes, retirement is quite boring at times

I know a lot of you buy clothes and things for your dogs but I also see a lot of them come up for sale again here on YT.

I would maybe like to start sewing again but is there still a demand for these things?

I personally look for unique well made items and I purchase practically monthly for my two girls.

There is always a demand for things that FIT.

So many of the clothes are too short for ZoE, and if I get them long enough, then they are too big around. Finding well-fitting ready-made clothing isn't so easy.

I understand...every dog is shaped different, just like people are, so 'off the rack' doesn't fit the same for everyone...a size 8 isn't always a size 8

I think custom clothing will always be in demand! I also buy monthly for Zeus and focus more on custom. It's hard to find super cute things for boys besides harnesses... Hint...

We have a demand for it in my house!! I like different styles, and I can't really find them- and when I do it is like $ 39 LOL so YES I would def buy some boy stuff!!

Well then maybe I'll look into this a little more....hmmm...

I would love to have a store where I could sell quality foods, bake fresh treats, sell clothes and supplies and have a grooming area in the back...just can't convince my husband that we should give it a try.

The best way to convince someone is by results. Start by asking if you can sell at your groomer's (if you use one). If not, then ask other groomers. Or boutiques.

I agree but, unfortunately, we don't have boutiques in our area and most of the groomers are the 'at home' kind or they work out of the vet's office...resources are rather limited in small towns...especially in farming communities.

We did just have a small grooming shop open up but, personally, I don't think they're going to be there long...just a hunch. I could talk to them and see if they would be willing to give me some space or something.

I might have to think on this a while and see what I can come up with.

Of course, there is ETSY too...

[lovespandp]

I think you would be able to sell on YT! Its all about the internet sells now!!

[brezofleur]

OF COURSE YT...! That goes without saying, Deanna...

So, what kind of things would you girls like to see for the boys? I do see a lot of harnesses and little vests and you can only do so much with a vest pattern.
