Hi aymee, your work dresses are beautiful. I was so wondering what size dog mannequin do you use? I'm thinking of getting one, I'm trying to sew for my pup and I'm not sure if a small is OK, or get a medium size. My pup is almost a year, 5.6 lbs, 13 girth and almost 14 long and/8 inch neck. Do you have any suggestions on which size would work for me?
Thanks!

I use a XS mannequin. Most of my XS patterns are for a girth of 10-12 inches. Size small for me is 12-14 and medium is 14-16 on the girth. I am not sure if the sizing on all the mannequins are the same but I would think in the brand like I bought, a small should work. I got mine on Amazon. (I docked the tail on mine after arrival as well. Lol.)

BTW I thought you only had one of my harness vests, not two, did I send you a plain unfinished black one, if so that is great beacause I thought I had one and can not find it, if so yes please send that ASAP I want to embellish it.

Great idea Donna! I need to add that on my to do list!

Yes I have a black harness and a pink harness of yours. I'm shipping them out today.
