The sizes listed are for reference purposes only.

Since dogs come in many shapes, sizes, and mix of breeds, it’s important to ensure the measurements fall within the listed size range (preferably +/- 0.5” of the given measurements with stretchy fabric) to select the best-fitting sewing pattern.

These sewing patterns are cater for tea cup to medium terrier breeds and breeds that share similar body physique.
Be sure to check:

Length: Measure from the base of the neck to the base of the tail. (Note: Length is less critical for fit compared to neck, front girth, and rear girth, but still important for the overall look.)
Neck: Measure around the neck to ensure a comfortable fit.
Front Girth: Measure around the chest, just behind the front legs.
Rear (Lower) Girth: Measure around the lower belly, just in front of the hind legs.


For the best fit, the Neck, Front Girth, and Rear Girth measurements are the most essential. Length is secondary.
