LOL - I was finally able to see it !!!  Mudder, what have you done to dat grllll ?!?!??!?!    Too cute !

This is probably a silly question but after you cut the way too long legs did you put it on inside out.  Then if you pin it to fit too the body and baste the lines where you pinned it it should fit.  Once you know it fits you can sew it for good.
I did this with a kind of wool jacket for Zack and it fits like a second skin.  He looks really dapper in his plaid coat. I will look for a picture and post it if I find one.

Oh good Barb you were able to see it.  :thumb: I can't imagine wanting to put any kind of coat on her right now, we are getting Texas weather! 100 today and hotter tomorrow!

Merion I didn't try that myself because I am clueless with sewing LOL. But the neighbor who tried to fix it is a professional seamstress and she couldn't do it and Ron and Delia have made her some coats that fit perfectly and couldn't, I think it would have been a lot easier to start from scratch rather than try to alter that particular coat. I hope to order one from the link Dawn gave and see how that fits since it was made for a doxie! I'm just waiting to hear back from them now.  :thumb: Did the coat you made have sleeves then, and you got it to fit??

LOL Patty she was so happy to be dressed up but then when she tried to walk her smile turned into a frown lol.

I think it sort of reminds me of what my Twinkie looked like when I tried to put booties on her.
That was before she played seal baby in her velcro fashioned fleece coat!   I had it so snug it was NOT possible for her to pull her front legs up into the coat. IT WAS JUST NOT POSSIBLE, there was NO room.  BUT she still did it.
We were in van, that the heater wasnt working on, she was between seats and I hear this thunk thunk thunk.   I glance back and there she is with OUT ANY front feet.  so she was trying to get up by me by pushing forward with her back feet!  Baby seal!!

I soon learned no matter how cold it GOT she would NOT wear a coat. Even though she did not like to ride in kennel in van she really loved to get into it and then play submarine under about 5 layers of fleece blankie!!

The only clothing she allowed was her scarf.  I used a 50's style cap made out of chunky yarn and make it shorter so it only fit around her heat about twice with really short ties!!  Actually she didnt fight most caps, bonnets, etc and she looked so cute in them. I also got her a Harley Davidson cap(sister's dogs got the jackets at the Foster and smith warehouse sale!!)

[Merion]

Yes it had sleeves That I really had to shorten  .   I wonder why that was ?
