What's your preference? I know I can't be the only picky one out there! What's your preference when it comes to fit. I like sweaters and shirts that are long enough to cover most of his back to avoid the "crop top" look, cover the chest, and if at all possible has sleeves. I keep finding so many adorable things for my Kaji man, but I put them back because they're missing one of my major criteria. I've given in to sleeveless shirts, but he doesn't wear then often because I don't like the look. Any one else as picky as me? :p |
I couldn't agree more with all of your criteria!! :) I need to go through Riley's things to see what still fits him, from last winter, and what he has outgrown. He turned 1-year in May..... A lot of stuff should probably fit him a little better, now..... I was buying things a teeny bit too big so he would be able to grow into them. It is starting to get a little brisky in the mornings and evenings, here so I should probably do that sooner rather than later. I haven't even started to go onto the various websites to see what Cute sweaters and coats they have out there. |
Me too. Kaji is 3 and I've been holding on to some of his things from 2 years ago. I don't think they fit anymore. |
I think part of my problem may be that I think Rory and Lane look adorable in just about everything! :p I will say now that Rory and Lane have a ton of what I consider to be playclothes that it's much easier for me to pass over some of the stuff that is really cheap, even though it seems like a great deal, because I know I won't like the quality or it won't wash and wear as well as something that is maybe a little more expensive. Even my fiance will say that looks cheap compared to some of their other stuff when I ask for his opinion on something, LOL! :eek: |
LOL...so funny that you mention this...I AM the exact same on so many things when it comes to fit. I love the harness/dress but not to short on Zhoie's back. If I order her a dress and it's to long on her back, I take the skirt off, shorten it and attach it back. LOL:D I haven't used sweaters on Zhoie because of her cotton coat, knotted it so bad, but now that I shave her back...I'm thinking we need some sweaters. I need to find a site to order some cute ones from. Anyone have any sweater site suggestions:confused: |

I ordered ZoE 4 coats and 3 didn't fit and the one that kinda did, looked like a cropped jacket more than a coat. So, I decided to knit her a coat with a hood & scarf attached out of yarn I had on hand (pic below). Once it was finished, I thought it was kinda plain, so looked at videos on Youtube and learned how to do a cable pattern, then made a few sweaters that are a lil more decorative. At least making it yourself, you can make it to your exact requirements. |

Some brands fit better than others, and it doesn't seem to be necessarily about the expense of an item. I've had expensive dresses (Ralph Lauren) that fit so odd, I wonder if RL designers have ever tried the items on an actual dog. I've bought a sweater, and a hoodie with both having such long neck areas, I can't imagine them properly fitting any dog. |
I agree with you as well! I hate when tops are short, they look like they shrunk! I FINALLY got Armani a hoodie that I like that fits all my criteria- compliments of t-bumpkins and co. I really only like custom items for him, otherwise they just don't fit right in some way. |

Levi is long and lean, so a lot of store-bought clothing doesn't fit him well. XS is usually too short (like a belly shirt...and he's just too many for that). Smalls usually do well for length, but they can sometimes be really baggy. I also despise when boy clothes are too long on the underside and they get peed on. :rolleyes: I also prefer for shirts to have sleeves. Another little preference is that I like for sweaters/jackets/coats to have slits for the D-rings of his harness, rather than an attached D-ring or nothing at all. |
I love the long sleeve look as well. I also like the chest covered. I've been racking my brains to come up with a sweater design that will fit everything I like and still be easy to put on and take off. I also like the slit for the d ring. Hmm? Guess I need to get the colored pencils out and some yarn samples. |
