I’ve been waiting for a while for this dress. First my human saw it at the pet store and it wasn’t in my size. Then, on another shopping trip, she found it in what is normally my size. But when she brought it home she discovered it ran way small, and it was too short on me. So she had to exchange it. So I’m sizing up for this dress. Don’t you hate having to do that?
The only problem is that, even though the length is perfect, it’s still a little too big for me!
It was hard to make the dress look as nice as it does here. It’s frustrating how something that’s just a bit off can be so difficult!
You can see from this view how it just isn’t flattering. Which is too bad because the material is really nice.
So that the modeling session wasn’t a total loss, my human pulled out these Halloween hair ties she got from CVS. She had an idea for how I might be able to wear them.
The cat hair tie was a big nope. Can you even tell it’s a cat?
The bat one was only marginally better. So these were a waste of money.
Even though nothing worked out in this modeling session, I still got to practice my tricks! That was awesome.

What a shame, such a pretty dress too!
That’s too bad Summer, the dress is pretty. The hair ties weren’t that bad. I knew it was A cat. You are such a good sport sweetie
Just get your measurements then take the dress to a dry cleaner, they often do alterations, etc. Good luck! 😉
Our mom knows all about sizing up. She said “let’s not go there.”
That is difficult Summer. We never model but think it must be hard to find the right size. We kind of like the second Halloween Hair tie. Yep its cute
Well the dress doesn’t look TOOOOOO big – the material looks like it’s a bit “stretchy” ?? Sparkly though and pretty. The hair ties – – – – well – – – – nice try BUT…… LOL

That dress IS pretty and I hope your human can find a way to learn some sewing. I hope the dress stays.
That dress is so pretty, I hope your human finds a way to make it work.
It seems that the pet clothes industry does not pay nearly enough attention to your blog, Influencer Summer. I suggest that your human make friends with someone with sewing skills. Today’s dress could easily have been tailored to fit you with a little hand sewing. I would volunteer myself, but I am at the wrong end of the I-5 corridor.

Seriously, Summer…talk your human into learning how to sew!
Maybe she can tailor some of your outfits, or simply make some herself…custom!
The dress is darling. I still think you look good in it. And I love the cat hair tie…for humans, anyways!
That is a nice dress. I do hate sizing up which has happened a lot lately because I eat too much.
I want that dress for Mimi… Good to know about sizing! Perhaps a little tailoring would help? It’s very pretty on you anyway! XOXO
It is a pity the dress is too big as it is very pretty.
Too bad this dress didn’t fit well, it’s really pretty. Purrs
Cute dress. Maybe hoomin can do a nip and tuck for a better fit.

We have mentioned this before, Summer, but you really need your own bespoke dressmaker, or couturière as they call them here!

Oh, Summer, that would have been a beautiful party/formal dress!
Maybe a bit of a nip & tuck with some needle and thread to help it fit better??
Too bad about the dress. It really looks pretty!

Too bad….that is a really pretty fabric.
Oh yes, I could see, without being told, the
first head piece was a cat. I liked it better
than the bat. You are so patient with all
the try-ons!
Your modeling sessions are always fun sweet Summer!
That is a pretty dress, Summer. Too bad it doesn’t fit.
The dress is very elegant. Too bad it didn’t fit you well. Though you sure did great modeling as usual 🙂
Summer, we humans have the same problem sometimes, Clothes look so good hanging on the rack, but once you put it on, it is a no go. You were a very patient kitty for all the sizing session.
Too bad the dress did not fil well as it is quite pretty.
Good of you to pose with the other costumes, though you were not really into it.
Doing the tricks was probably the best 🙂
Purrs, Julie
We thought the dress fitted OK. Maybe a TINY bit longish, but that can be good for a Womancat, ya know fluffy and shakable and all.
