Here are a few luxury outfits and dog costumes for Halloween 2009 designer dogs. These are some of the best ideas for contest winning puppies. They include: Madonna Dog, Marilyn Dog, Revenge of the Nerds Dogs, and Gone With the Wind's Scarlett O'Hara Dog.
Looking for a contest winning costume? Outdo the competition and find out what it's like to be top dog.
Marilyn Dog
The Haute Hound has several expensive, but gorgeous dog dresses.
- 7-Year Itch Dog Dress
- Diamonds Are a Dog's Best Friend Dress
- Dogs Prefer Blondes Dress
- Marilyn Happy Birthday Dog Dress
One could really go to town with a blonde "Doll Face" or "Yappy Hour" wig from Wiggles Wigs. If a suitable wig cannot be found online (for any costume) try a doll wig, a cat wig, or a human wig and attach with an elastic band from a fabric store.
Chasing Attire has a pink mink, as do some other sites. They also have two fab “Marilyn Collars”.
Madonna Dog
Which look is best for Madonna Dog? Early Madonna would be one way to go, so dog lovers should search google images for early Madonna photos. A blonde wig would work with a cute punked-out dress.
- Duds For Pups’ Cross Denim Mini Dress (for inspiration).
- Add lots of jewelry
- Find or make a headband with a large bow on top.
Too cool for school. Mommy can wear her own Madonna costume.
Michael Jackson Dog
First one must decide on the Michael Jackson era. Then, most dogs will need a wig and a little sparkle glove.
Couples Costumes for Dogs
Romeo and Juliet: One of the cutest costumes has to be Romeo and Juliet at DoggyDuds.com. Of course, it takes two doggies to pull this off right. As a matter of fact, some of the best costumes require group participation.
Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler: What about Scarlett O’Hara and Rhett Butler?
- Scarlett Dress at Glamour Dog
- Dog Tuxedo for Rhett Butler is at Barron's Treasures
- Fiddle Dee Dee. Doggy Mom or Doggy Daddy should shade the little lady with a lace parasol.
These characters would also be cute with one dog and his or her human dressed as part of the couple.
Group Costumes for Dogs
Sometimes group costumes are the most fabulous. And, the dogs won’t be embarrassed when they see that their friends are required to dress up to get the treats. It's doggie peer pressure. Hey, it works with kids, too.
Motorcycle Pack Dogs
The all time best group costumes probably would be a “motorcycle gang”. Can anyone imagine a bunch of beagles, westies, and huge mutts wearing colors? Fabulously funny. And, it’s ok if different pups have original or different types of motorcycle gear. Here are some websites to investigate:
- Motorcycle jackets on sale (Overstock Section) at DudsForPups.com
- Born to Ride Motorcyle Jacket at MarilynMuttroePetBoutique.com
- Biker Dude Pet Harness at PawPalaceOnline.com
Look online for the best deal in a biker dog hat.
Biker Chick Dogs
Girls get to join the boy dogs.
- Pink Eagle Motorcycle Dog Tank Top, Motorcycle Dress, Born to Ride Motorcycle Harness Jacket at Marilyn Muttroe
- Black Biker Chic with lace at PawPalaceOnline.com
Grab the group and get going. Some sites are running out of biker dog outfits. It's just too cute to watch the biker gang roll in and terrorize the town.
Revenge of the Nerd Dog:
Revenge of the Nerds is another cute costume. It will work with one pup, but it’s best with several puppies.
- Look for an appropriately striped geek polo or plaid shirt. Ha ha. Very nerdly. Adding a tie in a dweebish pattern is worth extra points. See the following sites for inspiration.
- Glamour Dog: Basic Striped Polo in Clearance Section
- Go Fetch Pet Boutique: Alfredo Plaid Dog Shirt
- Modern Tails: Mix it with an unmatched argyle collar to go super nerdy
One of the best accessories would be Doggle glasses with black rims and yellow lenses or get cheap black-rimmed sunglasses, take the lenses out, and find a way to attach the glasses with elastic. It’s a group huggie first prize, for sure.
Look around the Internet shops for truly great inspiration. and to get a great price.
Everyone with a cute doggie will want a great dog costume for Halloween. Hey, the economy’s in the tank. Spend a couple of bucks and feel better. And, everyone will feel better including Butch, Martha, Fifi, Fido, Max and the rest of the mutts.
