This was the first dog outfit I drafted from scratch. I really just draped fabric over my wiggly dog and trace. Can you see it is a wrap dress? I was inspired by Butterick 4790:
This was one of my first projects and it was hideous! One of the worst things I've ever made, but at least I was inspired to make Pearl a dress.

I finished the dress with bias binding like the Butterick dress. I call it a sailor dress btw because the buttons have little metal anchors on them.
I love making dog clothes. Almost-instant gratification!
Had to laugh about your inspiration. I was thinking of making that dress for myself, but now Pearl has it , I just can't! Alf (the nudist) has the hots for Pearl. He barks at her photo!
