Here are some of the best girl dog costumes for Halloween 2009. Fab female Halloween dog outfits can be worn later. Try tutus, Goth Girl, Chanel, Shirley Temple, hooker.

Here are some of the best girl dog clothes that can be used for Halloween costumes. A fab female Halloween dog costume consists of a popular pet outfit that can be worn after October. Some examples are: Tutus, Goth clothing, Coco Chanel jackets, gorgeous collars, dresses, warm coats, and more.

There are just too many doggie costumes out there to put them into one article, and way too many cute dogs are walking around naked on Halloween.

The most cost effective way to dress up a girl dog, for trick or treating, is to get an outfit that can be worn later for cold weather or holidays later in the year. Many of the following pet costumes consist of regular dog outfits that can be worn on a daily basis.

Girl Dogs

Here are some of the most adorable cute dog costumes. Dog moms and doggy daddies should think of these as investment pieces. One example would be dog tutus, which can be worn on many festive occasions.

Looking for a dog Christmas dress?

Ballerina Dog

Who sells the cutest doggie tutu? That question is impossible to answer because so many sites have awesome and amazing dog clothes. Playing with dogs is more fun than dressing up Barbie Dolls!

See these for inspiration:

  • Kiwi Garden Tutu Dress at Glamour Dog
  • Blue Ballerina Snowflake at Boomers Boutique Dog Clothing.
  • Pink Ballerina Tutu Dog Dress at Duds4Pups.com.
  • Make ballerina dog shoes out of self-painted socks or take cheap pink dog shoes and attach two long pink ribbons to emulate toe shoes.
  • Some ballerinas wear a headband with fake flowers across it.

There are so many places with great dog dresses. Halloween moms and dads should look at sites online for something that fits their budget.

Goth Costume

This will work better on a white or light colored dog. Look for a black dress or other article of black clothing. Lace is ok. Skulls are ok. Bows and frou frou are not as good. There are lots of appropriate pieces online, but here are some places to start for more inspiration:

  • Emma Rose Dress at The Gilded Paw
  • Goth Mini Dog Dress at Boomers Boutique Dog Clothing
  • Various websites have Goth hoodies or tanks
  • Jet Black 9-Row Swarovski Crystal Collar and Black Hiker Boots are at BitchNewYork.com.

To perfect the style, google "Goth" or "Goth style" images.

Get a cheap silver cross or a black collar with a cross or skull. Make some fingerless gloves out of small black socks. Try to get a black wig or make the dog's hair dark. Use black non-toxic makeup for lipstick (skip the eyes) and paint the little girl’s nails black. Then do one's own nails black. Too cute.

Coco Chanel Dog

Look at the Josie City Coat or Chanel Dog Dress in pink and black on various websites. Get one of those or something similar and deck the pup out with lots and lots and lots of costume pearls. Very French.

See this adorable video of a Portland Dog and her trip to the park.

Queen of Hearts

Look at The Haute Hound. The Queen of Hearts, by Deni Alexander, is a stunning dress with a stunning price. The ruffled collar is sold separately. This dog dress is amazing.

Shirley Temple

Start with the Shirley Temple Dog Wig at Wiggles Wigs and add things from there.

Places for inspiration:

  • Shirley Temple Dress at Marilyn Muttroe or Pet Boutique or other internet shops
  • Black patent maryjanes for dogs

His and Hers Costumes

Here are some outfits that need two pups. Any puppy can go in drag, so the sex of one's dog is not important.

Hooker Dog and Sailor Boy:

Two pups are needed for this. Get a Shanghai Cocktail Dress or something similar for the girl hooker dog and get a sailor suit with a hat (they are everywhere) for the boy dog. Tasteless, for sure. Give the female pup some red lipstick, if possible, and an obvious hooker wig.

Hippie Dogs:

Get two wigs. An afro would work for a Jimi Hendrix style or get long wigs for both the boy and the girl. Hippie dudes used to wear fairly feminine styles during the sixties. See Hendrix and more to get the look down.

Find inspiration here, then look at dog clothing on the internet to find good prices:

  • Woodstock Love Coat at Posh Puppy Boutique (male or female).
  • Floral Fantasy Collar has real flower power at Barron’s Treasures.
  • Pocahontas Shirt at various websites.
  • Febe Denim Skirt at Duds4Pups.com.
  • Navajo Suede Vest by Hip Doggie works for boys.
  • Anything with peace signs.
  • Sacramento, Santa Cruz (unisex), or Cha Cha Couture Euphoria Harness Vests at Marilyn Muttroe.

Many hippies of both sexes wore headbands (or leather cords) around their heads Indian style.

Here is a Halloween dog show.
