Build-A-Bear Clothes for our babies? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Hello again!!

I'm doing my christmas outfit shopping for Luna and I found the most gorgeous dress for her!

See it here: http://www.buildabear.com/shop/produ...ProductSummary

But I was wondering before I bought it if anyone here has bought clothes for their Yorkies at Build-A-Bear. Luna now weighs 3 lbs so I'm not sure how it will run size wise. I also like the fact that the clothes is super cute and NOT as expensive as "Yorkie clothes". Thank you all!

Check a craft store if you have one local to you. I know our Michael's carries bear clothes to fit stuffed bears. You could sneak her in the store in her "purse" and compare them to her! That way you don't pay shipping or anything...if you have a Michael's close by, that is. I had a 3 pound Chihuahua that the small sweaters fit...so they might work for Yorkies too...good luck!!!

Hi Melissa,

I have bought from Build A Bear, and I love them! But, the clothes are a little to 'wide' for the little yorkies. They fit my 9 lb Shih Tzu well, but too big for Mei Mei.

You could probably take the sides in and it would be a perfect fit!!

I second Michaels! I bought Mei Mei some sweaters in the bear & doll section and they fit well. She is 3 lbs, 5 oz right now.

Thank you all for your replies!

Thank God I asked before being impulsive and buying that dress from build-a-bear. Dresses fit her always a bit too wide and they drag on the floor... I hate that! They get really dirty lol... anyhow

Yes, my sister bought from Michael's for Luna!! She got her 2 dresses from there but again they fit her a little too wide. However, my father bought her a doll dress and it fit her perfect! He bought it in Orlando and we're from Miami, so we're going to have to look around to see if they have any similar down here.

Thanks again! I'm so glad that our babies are small enough to fit into bear and doll stuff, let me tell you "yorkie clothes" is so expensive!! I just bought her a shirt that was 23 dollars! CRAZY!

thath dress is cute, but i loooooooooooove the bathrobe.... imagine getting youre baby outa the htub and into that robe.......hehe

FunkyMunkie · 11-30-2004, 04:21 PM

I know I love the bathrobe as well! I think though that I'm going to buy the red dress for Luna, I cannot find anything her size around here for christmas!

chrstna · 12-01-2004, 09:34 PM

OMG! I got that dress for my Yorkie last week! Like you, I thought it was the CUTEST and had to have it for Bridgette's pics with Santa. Even though it's adorable, don't buy it. The only way you can put it on is if the velcro goes faces up, and it doesn't look pretty. It just doesn't fit right either. It needs to be returned. However, the t-shirts fit just fine.. I would just stay away from the dresses and maybe even the pants if you can help it.

Our Michaels lets dogs in to "try on clothes". So does Hobby Lobby.

I was in Michaels the other day, got to the bear aisle with Mia to find a chihuahua and another yorkie modeling for their moms. TOO CUTE!!

Mia can wear the bear sweaters at 3lb+, but they hang on a friends long hair chihuahua that is just at 2 lb.

FunkyMunkie · 12-02-2004, 08:15 AM

Ooooohhhhhhhh NOOOOO! My mother insisted on buying the dress, before I read chrstna's post.

Guess I will have to return it! We'll have to wait and see...

orinskye · 12-02-2004, 10:21 AM

If the dress doesn't fit..... you can tack the fabric so that it fits snug around the tummy, its a really easy fix adn only takes a few minuits.

FunkyMunkie · 12-02-2004, 10:23 AM

Yeah, I was thinking of having to do some fixing to the dress... but we'll have to wait and see how it fits when it comes in ... I will let you all know! lol

mybirdys2003 · 12-02-2004, 02:20 PM

I just made my Snoodles a Xmas dress! You would be surprised how cheap it is. Also very easy. It is so cute! However, I did just go to that web site, and that velvet dress is darling! Too bad postage has gone up so bad. I hate adding in postage. Still can't keep hair clips in her hair. The little bugger! She rolls and scootches around until she gets them out! Looks like I will always have a little girl with no bows! Darn! Pat

goldcupmom · 12-02-2004, 05:06 PM

Ok, that dress was WAY TOO CUTE!!! I succumbed.

But, I also bought my daughter a birthday bear for her 13th next week....after all, I could ship the dress for the same shipping as just the bear.....hmmmmm.......do you think I'm making up excuses to justify a new dress for Mia.....YES!!!

mybirdys2003 · 12-03-2004, 02:30 PM

Thank you Yorkie 24 you! I will certainly look for them. Hope I can get them in. Any suggestions? Do you put them in and them twist and put on again etc? or do you just twist them and then put them on? Haven't been able to get the bands I bought into her hair. They won't stretch. Thanks a lot--hope I can find them. Pat

mybirdys2003 · 12-04-2004, 10:12 AM

Gee Thanks a lot! I have it written down and will look for them. If you happen to come across them in the mean time, let me know! I appreciate your help! Maybe I can have a Yorkie with a bow in her hair! Pat
