EXCITING PROJECT! I need your help!

Joeturbo26 · Aug 11, 2017

Hello friends!

So, for some time now, I’ve been thinking about creating a small line of clothing for Frenchies. We all know how difficult it is to find perfect fitting clothes, either the neck is too small and the body fits, or the neck fits and the body is too big... and when we do find clothes that fit, the patterns or colors can be too much!

My goal is to create the best fitting, clean design, stylish range of basics for our French Bulldogs!

I am purely in the research phase at the moment, and I am collecting as much data as possible on sizing, in order to establish a formula that creates the “perfect fit” across all sizes of French Bulldogs.

So here’s where I need your help!

I need 8 things from you...

1. Dogs Name and Instagram Name if he/she has one.
2. Neck
3. Length
4. Chest
5. Loin
6. Chest Width
7. Dogs current weight
8. Dogs Age

I’ve attached a photo that I’ve created, to illustrate exactly how the measurements should be taken.

Thank you all so much in advance for helping me out! I’ll keep everyone updated on the progress we make!

Fab; good luck to you!

If I might make a suggestion as long as you are soliciting info., how about you add "leg inseam (front and back)". I realize that you can't offer sizes by inseam as well as the other main measurements, but at least you could get an average leg length so not to have your clothes too long. I bought a Halloween costume for Bambi and I had to take like 6" up in the legs. I have also bought jammies for her and the legs have been too long.

I will get out my measuring tape and get back to you.

That’s awesome advice. Thank you! I don’t think we’re going to be incorporating longer leg “sleeves” into our designs to start, but that would be super important info for sure! We are going to be focusing on a perfect fit T shirt, Sweater, and tank top.... a major focus for us too, is going to be able to wear clothing that accommodates any harness hook.

3. Length 13
4. Chest 22
5. Loin 16 1/2

2. Neck 14
3. Length 12
4. Chest 20
5. Loin 14
6. Chest width 5 1/2
7. 20 lbs.
