Description
This dog tuxedo pattern is designed to fit most breeds, but you can easily adjust it to fit your specific pup. The pattern includes a jacket, pants, and even a bow tie for the complete formal look. The jacket features a collar, lapels, and two functional pockets. The pants have an elastic waist and can be easily tailored to fit shorter or longer legs.
You can choose from a variety of fabrics to create the perfect look. We recommend choosing a lightweight wool or a blend that has a bit of stretch. Solid colors or classic patterns like houndstooth or plaid work well.

Most of these materials can be found at your local fabric store or online. Don't be afraid to ask for help or recommendations from the staff.
