Wings change what a costume does in a photograph. They give the outline something to break the silhouette, which is why a winged design reads better in a dark garden than a printed one ever manages. These sit up over the shoulders, standing above the line of the back, and the skeleton print underneath is luminous, so the whole thing still holds together once the light has gone and everyone is out in the street.

The wings are the part that needs thinking about before you buy. Anything standing proud of a dog's back catches on doorframes, table legs and other dogs, and a dog who has never worn wings will usually spend the first minute trying to look round at them, which is its own small comedy. Give them that minute indoors to work out that the strange thing on their back moves when they move, before you go anywhere crowded.

• Luminous skeleton print
• Bat wings that sit over the shoulders
• Available in S, M and L
• Goes on over the back
• Intended for short, supervised wear

Two things worth knowing. Luminous print needs charging under a light to show properly, and it dims as the evening goes on, so it will not look in an hour the way it looks in the first ten minutes. And wings snag, so keep them clear of rough play and crowded doorways, take the costume off between photographs, and never leave it on an unattended pet.

Who it's for: Dogs doing Halloween photographs or a short costume outing, whose owners want something with a shape to it rather than a printed cape.
