About a month and a half ago, I liked an Oliver + S post announcing the release of a new Lisette pattern, the Round Trip Dress. Very shortly after, my sister said she needed that dress that I ‘liked’. That thrilled me, because I knew what I’d be doing for Emilee’s birthday! Well its only…
Olivia is such a natural model! She even seemed to enjoy it immensely – or maybe it’s that she’s pretty happy with her harness too :) Thank you for this great tutorial – I don’t own a dog but I have lots of friends who do and I’ll forward your tutorial along to them!
This girl has been in front of a camera since day one! My sister is a photographer who specializes in pets. Olivia photobombs when the opportunity arises. Haha!
Is there any way to make this even smaller for a teacup sized dog? How would you recommend adjusting the pattern? Thank you!
so, yes this is doable. You will want to measure from the torso to the back of the neck, and that’ll be your length there. You’ll also want to measure around the neck (and keep several inches for the harness to overlap on the closure). Do the same with the measurement around the torso. I recommend cutting the smallest size, then making your adjustments using that as a base.
There is no pattern here; just a tutorial.
There is! The pattern piece is linked at the beginning of the instructions where the materials are listed. All instructions for anything you need are right in this post.

Could you tell me how the pattern goes together?
Each page of the pattern has a number and letter indicating where it will line up. Cut off the excess, and line up the pattern. all of the A’s will line up vertically (there is no 1a because it would have been wasted paper), and all the B’s will line up and so on. you will line up 1b->1c then 2a->2b->2c then 3a->3b->3c then line up those three rows. You will then have your full pattern piece and you can cut out the size that best suits your dog, or grade between them if you need a more customized fit. :) I hope this helps!
Olivia, after cutting out the pattern pieces for each size it is VERY confusing how to put each size pattern together. The worst puzzle ever. Could you please help. Thank you.
Hi there, Joyce! Each page of the pattern has a number and letter indicating where it will line up.
