Need help on an outfit dilemma - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Tiger's Mom · 09-10-2007, 09:33 AM

Okay once again I am in need of suggestions . . . I am wanting to offer some jogging suits for the fall/winter season and so had some samples made just so I can try to see how it looks on my babies . . . I finally got the samples in last week but just haven't had a chance to try them on until yesterday . . . well for some reason, they are a pain to put on

. . at least Annika was wiggling way too much I just could not get it on her . . . I know it will fit well, just getting it ON is such a major struggle . . . so, my idea is to use snap closure on the belly elastic area for ease of putting on and off . . . What do you think?

I would love to hear from those that wear jogging outfits . . . and to those who have wanted to buy but felt the same way I do about putting them on LOL.

The picture samples are just from scrap material . . will have the collection in PINK (of course) and light blue color, unless you have other suggested colors. I prefer a wider or double strip and the butt trim will be of the same color

.

btw, the top will be a matching hooded sweatshirt with this artwork . . . I might offer monogramming on the hoodie area as I am told they are "IN STYLE" right now.

Awww, Des I love the new idea. I love jogging suits for the babies.

Pink is always good for my girls but I'd love to have another color since we have soooooooooo much pink. Maybe a bright red or even pink and red together. I love purple also and pretty much any bright color. I think these will be adorable on. I hope you can get a pic of Annika eventually, LOL!!!

personally like like pull over tops and bottoms because they just seem more comfy to me... but Layla has always been such a dream to dress she just sits there and takes it

stedmansmommy · 09-10-2007, 12:04 PM

It looks great Des! I'm with Dina on this one though (I knew she'd chime in LOL

) I LOVE pink and am glad you will be offering that since it is my favorite color and all

But some other colors I would love to see would be Lime Green, Orange, Red, and yes...Purple

They look great so far and I love that you will be offering the monogramming as well. Can't wait to see pictures of Annika modeling them!

Ditto on that!

CollegeCutieUSF · 09-10-2007, 12:11 PM

I think having a snap closure is a good idea, however you'll probably need a couple snaps, because I know a lot of our babies have different sized waists, and if it's even a little loose, it will probably end up sliding off. Maybe velcro would be more effective?

PS: I love the monograming idea!

sassypup · 09-10-2007, 01:18 PM

That's really cute....would putting on pants on a dog like putting pants on a child....a pain? But then again I don't have children.

Hope someone has some good advice.

JESSY_RN2B · 09-10-2007, 01:27 PM

I LOVE these!!

I was thinking they would rock even more if they had suspenders. Hope I don't sound nuts to everyone. I'd put them over a cute solid shirt. Oh, and pockets!

La Princesa · 09-10-2007, 03:02 PM

These are sooooo cute! I am more into functional clothing, but these are too cute. What does it look like on the bottom? Do they cover up their privates too? I know when i bought my first hoodies i was really worried about then getting them soiled with urine, then i noticed that that was not a problem.

No matter what jogging suits definitely close the gap for those looking for more cool apparel for their boys! YEAH!

MyFairLacy · 09-10-2007, 03:25 PM

I haven't ever put Lacy in a jogging suit but I do have a bikini that has bottoms with an elastic waist and Ive never had any problem putting those on her. It seems like the elastic would fit more waist sizes - if too loose it would fall off. I think I'd prefer elastic if I was going to put them on Lacy. Can't wait for all your new fall stuff to come out

Jenn218 · 09-10-2007, 05:03 PM

I love them!! So cute.
I would definitely like to see Red as a color choice too, as I think our Yorkies look gorgeous in red.
I have a hard time finding pants that fit right.....like PJ's, etc. So I just don't know.
I think snaps would be okay, but I like more comfy....course, the PJ's have snaps and they seem okay. Also, Mojo is the perfect model because he actually loves to get dressed up.
I can't wait to see what they look like on a model!

camly · 09-11-2007, 01:24 AM

THOSE ARE SO CUTE! Could you also make it in grey, black, or white?? (i was hoping so that it'd match my workout clothes! hehehe) and the embroidery idea is just perfect!!! hehe. When will these be available?!?!

but i like the elastic idea too, I like the look how its a bit more fitted (kinda like a one-sie (sp?) pj. lol. JMO

sims822257 · 09-11-2007, 04:32 AM

OMG Des those are too cute!! I do not feel like i can ofer any advice because i have not ever put pants on mine but i think i would have to have one of these outfits if it works out. It is so cute and Mia really is the perfect jogging companion

I like the pink and blue too!

Yorkiekids · 09-11-2007, 05:51 AM

I love the new idea. Anything you can slip on, and not have to fight with is a good idea to me.

LoveMyJake · 09-11-2007, 03:26 PM

I LOVE these, they're adorable. I like the snap idea since Jake doesn't like clothes much, he wiggles around when I'm dressing him most times. These would be perfect for fall/winter when you have to take them somewhere. I love the blue (since I will have two boys soon), but I also like pale yellow because I think it looks so good on yorkies. I can't wait until these are available to buy!!!
