I had a half metre of the silver and a quarter metre of the gold and I have lots left over. Obviously, how much fabric you will need will differ depending on the size of dog. I’d also forget the hemming because it’s a dog costume! It was super easy to make and I can’t imagine that hand sewing would take much more work. I used a sewing machine to make mine but you could 100% hand sew this! Or glue because it’s one shot! If you are hand sewing/glueing, I’d just cut one trapezoid based on the measurements. And even with those accusing eyes, I promise no dogs were harmed in any way but they may have been pretty perplexed! So in reality, these guys were only wearing there snoods for long enough to snap a few pictures. Reg was less concerned but did have several good shakes. Even then, Zac was very keen to roll his off. I swear that Reg always looks worried, snood or not! Zac was completely unsure but was cool once he saw Mums smile. I was right! Reggie didn’t mind too much and Zac was perplexed. Snood…I wasn’t sure but I thought it might just be right, in terms of comfort for the doggies and cutness of look. A hat that is secured over the ears? Mmm same problems. Just a horn? Probably fall of in two seconds. I had no idea how a costume might go down…. Zac is more easy going but is more inclined to stand up for himself. He’s a beautiful bag of neurosis and I couldn’t love him more. Small things like a bag on the floor are deeply troubling to him. Reg is deeply troubled by the wind blowing and moves backwards as anything approaches. Mums fluffy ones, Zac & Reg, are rescues so I didn’t know how keen they would be to wear anything. As if size and temperament were something that equated? If I could go back in time, I’d dress 5 year old me as a princess (what else would I wear) and one of my big dogs as the unicorns I knew they were *thbthhhhh* So I am hoping to delight a few princesses with this little DIY! People were so worried about this tiny girl rolling around with these big, scary looking dogs.

The kind of dogs that wouldn’t hurt a fly. Both Shannon (a Doberman Pinscher, pictured above with Me and the Daddy-O) and Jack (a Belgian shepherd) were big butter balls. When I was small we had several beautiful (and rather huge) dogs.

This costume is like a time warp thing for me. And aren’t they majestic? I asked my cats if they would like a costume this Halloween but they declined. I had no children to experiment on so I turned to Mums fur kids Zac & Reg. I adore Halloween and I love to get on to some spooky DIY! I have been pretty dark with some of my DIY’s in past years (oh how I love that Halloween lets you indulge your inner evil) but this year I wanted something more kid friendly and sparkly and fun.
