OK, I'm not really into the pet wardrobe thing, but I do know how to make your pet stylish. No tutus or tiaras, just really classy (and durable) leashes and cute scarves, both for cooling and just for show.
4-braid poly leash
My leashes are of two types: (1) cotton/nylon woven belting with sewn trim, or (2) woven/braided polypropylene cord. The sewn leashes are trimmed with colored ribbons on one or both sides. Some have reflective tape for added safety. They are in 4' and 5' lengths, and have clips of various weights.
The poly leashes are in lots of colors. I have been thrilled to find my basic type of cord in 15 different colors, so far, and I'm always on the lookout for more! These are very strong, and can even be used to play "tug". These are fun to make, and I can do them away from my sewing machine (TV time, car trips, etc.). I can now make good use of my "down time" as well! A variation on this is a very light-weight leash for little dogs made of heavy-weight yarn with a tiny clip. These are very soft and have a bit of stretch, for those 4-legged munchkins who are very well-behaved.
Cooper with Cool Collar
The other type of scarf does not tie or clip, like my Cool Collars or a regular bandanna. These cute scarves have a channel to slide the collar through. If the collar stays put, the scarf won't come off, since the two are attached! No chewing and untying - it's relatively unnoticeable to your pet. Both dogs and cats can be dressed up in these scarves of many colors.
