Tutu Cute
Bottom Line

Very chic dress for an extra special occasion, with a pale green tutu skirt, polka dot bow, and oversized flower.

Pros

Lots of tulle makes this a good choice as a bridesmaid dog dress, especially since the jersey top is stretchy and comfortable. The white and pastel colors look cute on all pups.

Cons

The sizes run very small, and while this dress is available in a size called “x large”, that’s only for a Boston terrier-sized (30 lb.) dog.

Birthday Suit
Bottom Line

Everyone will know it’s your pup’s special day, since the dress says “it’s my barkday” on the back, along with a cupcake and candle motif.

Pros

Stretchy fabric in bright red has a fun ruffled tutu with a paw print design. This comes in a wide range of sizes and has fasteners for easy on-off. Low price.

Cons

The tutu runs long, which gives it extra flare on some breeds but drags on the ground for others.

Pretty in Pink
Bottom Line

A versatile sundress that’s available in a range of sizes, making this suitable for dogs up to 54 lbs.

Pros

Fashionista fur-babies look feminine in this colorful, spring forward design with ruffles and a faux belt. Lightweight fabric keeps your dog cool, while also being a good choice for a posh occasion.

Cons

The over-the-head design can be awkward to use on the larger breeds.

For Barkzillas
Bottom Line

A stylish white wedding choice, featuring a fancy ruffled trim and a satin bow.

Pros

This comes with a touch fastener at the high-cut belly, making it easy to put on and take off. It also comes with a matching organza veil (in case it’s actually your pup who is getting married.)

Cons

This style only comes in limited sizes (xx small, x small and small.)

Pool Paw-fect
Bottom Line

Pooches need sun protection, too, especially short haired breeds, and this dress provides them with UPF40.

Pros

The lightweight jersey knit dress is stretchy and comfortable, while the tulle underskirt and beachy sea creature print gives it a fun, summery look. The smocked chest provides an easy fit.

Cons

There has been some confusion with the sizing, which runs much larger than most.

We purchase every product we review with our own funds — we never accept anything from product manufacturers.

With more and more fur babies being given a starring role in weddings or family portraits, it’s little wonder that prêt-à-porter doggie duds are popular. It’s best to seek out designs that allow for toilet freedom and that you can still use a collar and leash with if you are walking your dog in it. Plenty of stretch is a plus, as are easy-to-wash fabrics. Make sure to follow all the measuring directions for sizing carefully, since they vary widely with each brand. Be mindful and make sure your dog doesn’t chew on the fabric or swallow any buttons and bows, either — they should always be supervised when wearing clothing. It may take a few tries before your dog gets used to wearing a dress and doesn’t wriggle out of it, but the Instagram photos will be worth the effort.
