That would be so great if you could make them!!!! Can't wait to see what you come up with...they don't have to be pretty just keep the hair from matting Thank You!!!

I don't want to stop anyone from making/buying a silk garment but did think it's important to let you all know wearing silk/satin will not stop the hair from matting. Coats will still mat wearing silk garments, just possibly not as much as without the garment. You will still have to be diligent about brushing out your yorkie daily. I just don't want anyone to think this silk camisole/slip will be something magical that completely prevents hair matting.

Something else I found that can be a problem with an undergarment for dogs, is the bulk. These most likely won't really fit like some kind of silky spandex camisole that we would wear. This extra bulk could make the outer clothing too tight and you may end up having to buy bigger sweaters/dresses to fit over the camisole.

yea i think no matter what prototype i come up with it'll have a bit of bulk to it. even all satin means a double layer outfit and will add some "fluff" under their dresses and stuff. I'm trying to come up with the best way to sew up something that slips on. I'm used to velcro patterns but velcro would ruin the satin and not help keep their hair under control. i think i can make the same pattern just take out the velcro and sew straps together all the way.

That is fine with me :] I wont mind the extra bulk but without the velcro would be nice.
