The trick with a dog in fancy dress is picking something that feels like clothing rather than a contraption. This one is a stretchy vest: it pulls on like a T-shirt, has no straps to buckle, nothing hanging off it to catch on a doorframe and no hood to be shaken loose. The rib cage and spine are printed across a colour-blocked body, so the effect lands at a glance.

Stretch matters for two reasons. It lets you get the vest on and off in seconds, which is the whole game with a dog who tolerates dressing up for roughly as long as it takes to take a photograph. And it moves with the dog rather than restricting the shoulders, so she can walk and sit normally while it is on. Three colourways are stocked, blue, orange and purple, in sizes XS through to L.

Supervised wear only. Costumes are for short periods with someone in the room, never left on an unattended dog, never overnight, and not during rough play with another dog. Watch for the signs a dog has had enough: freezing, ears back, a refusal to walk.

Who it's for: Owners who want a Halloween photograph without wrestling a dog into a full costume, and dogs who accept a vest but nothing more elaborate.
