I bought these as Christmas pajamas for my three dogs who like wearing clothes when it gets cold out. Straight out of the bag, these are garbage. Places were not sewn, poor fit, velcro not lining up, just general annoyances. These are the quality of the $10 cheap costumes at big box stores that are sold on the end caps around Halloween. If you purchase these, I strongly suggest you have a sewing machine (serger optional) because you will have to modify them pretty heavily. These are the modifications you must make in order to have a nicer costume. I found doing them in this order makes it easier so you are only spending about 20min fixing them: 1. Sew the back closed. It comes with little pieces of velcro to close it on the back, but they do a terrible job of keeping it closed. My dogs could not keep it on without sewing the back. They would be playing and jumping but when they would shake or jump, they would be caught in the costume as it would be ripping off. 2. Sew the cape onto the neck. They expect the cape to be held on by two small pieces of velcro. Any movement, and the cape just comes off. 3. Now, shorten the back of the costume and cape. Unless you have a 150lbs dachshund, then this is too long for an average dog. I took off about 6" off of the cape and costume just to make sure they were comfortable to to keep my boy dog from peeing into the costume. Using the serger would work nicely here. If you do not have a serger, then just roll it twice and sew it down the length of the roll so the cut edges are not exposed. Do this on the cape and shirt. 4. Line up the cape nicely along the back of the shirt so everything is even. When it is even, sew a 5" line down at the tail end of the cape. I did my line going from tail to head. This is to make sure the cape doesn't come off. It also makes it a LOT more comfortable for the dog. This step is crucial because, if not, you will be fixing the cape every two seconds so it looks nice. With these modifications, my dogs can run at full speed, jump, play, lay down, sleep, everything. They like them and think they are comfortable. Without the modifications, my dogs could not do a whole lot without the costume ripping off immediately. So, if you can not sew, make sure your grandma has a weekend when she can show you how if you buy these costumes. Also, one last thing, out of all the costumes, the Batman one was the most worth the money. Then there is a clear decrease in quality for the Superman and Robin ones.
