Powder Blue Brocade Dog Dress – Ruffled Cape Hem
Description
A powder-blue cheongsam-style vest woven with scrolling florals and geometric lattice motifs in ivory, coral, and gold. A sky-blue frog fastening follows the asymmetric front, while a soft ruffled cape hem brings movement and a playful finish to the back.
Is This Piece Right for Your Dog?
Fitted through the chest and open at the belly, this sleeveless design leaves the legs unrestricted for walking, sitting, and play. The ruffle adds ceremony without the weight of a full skirt, making the piece equally charming for portraits, celebrations, or a sunny afternoon at home.
Is the Fabric Gentle on Your Dog’s Skin?
The main panel is mulberry-silk brocade, paired with smooth sky-blue silk at the piping, closure, and ruffled hem. The fabric is breathable and gentle against the coat, but the woven brocade has very little stretch. Accurate measurements are therefore more reliable than weight alone.
How Is It Made?
The patterned panels are hand-cut, the asymmetric edge is carefully piped, and the classic pankou-inspired closures are knotted and applied by hand. The ruffle is gathered evenly before being attached to the back hem. Variations in the woven motif or knotting are a natural result of handmade production.
A Note on Sizing — Please Read Before You Order
Silk and structured brocade have very little stretch, and complex handmade construction can be costly to alter. Getting the size right is the single biggest factor in how this piece looks and feels on your dog.
Standard Size Chart — please confirm against your own measurements:
| Size | Neck (cm) | Chest (cm) | Back Length (cm) | Approx. Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 20–24 | 30–34 | 20–22 | 1–3 kg |
| S | 24–28 | 34–40 | 23–27 | 3–6 kg |
| M | 28–32 | 40–48 | 28–33 | 6–10 kg |
| L | 32–38 | 48–56 | 34–40 | 10–16 kg |
| XL | 38–44 | 56–64 | 41–46 | 16–25 kg |
Please measure neck, chest, and back length with a soft tape before ordering. Even a small difference can noticeably affect the fit. The weight range is only a guide; body measurements should take priority.
If your dog is a whippet, dachshund, corgi, or another breed with a short-legged, long-backed, deep-chested, or otherwise distinctive shape, standard sizing may not follow their proportions well. We strongly recommend custom sizing. Please provide neck, chest, back length, and leg length in your order notes or to our customer service team.
What If It Doesn’t Fit When It Arrives?
We offer returns and exchanges within 7 days of delivery. If the fit is not right after trying it on, keep the garment clean, unworn beyond the fitting, and with its tags attached, then contact our support team to arrange an exchange or return. Our goal is for you to feel confident ordering a handmade piece.
Shipping
Orders ship directly from our workshop in China, and we guarantee delivery within 7 days of your order. Because each piece is handmade and shipped internationally, please allow extra planning time if you need it for a wedding, holiday, portrait session, or another specific date.
The Panco Manifesto
Every stitch carries a wish.
At Panco, clothing is not simply protection or decoration — it is a blessing your companion can wear. We draw from centuries of Chinese silk craftsmanship and auspicious design: florals for flourishing, red for joy and good fortune, jade tones for harmony, and the frog closure as a small link to traditional tailoring.
Every panel is considered closely, and every frog knot, pearl, bead, and finishing detail is placed by hand. No two pieces are ever entirely identical; those small variations are the quiet signature of human craft.
We are not just making “pet clothes.” We are bringing the warmth of heritage craftsmanship to the family member you love most — with silk chosen for a gentle feel, silhouettes made for four-legged movement, and details designed to reward a closer look.
