In the most recent episode of Lifetime’s Project Runway, the designers were asked to create a look using supplies they could get at a pet store. They were also given muslin and some trims and embellishments to complete their looks.
I purchased a dog toy and some greenery designed for use in an aquarium.
Using the fabric from the dog toy, I gave my model, Louise, a sexy little top. Then I fashioned the greenery into a short, puffy skirt.
I accessorized with a silver clutch and embellished the shoes with green and silver trim. The skirt may look sharp, but the plastic is so soft it’s completely comfortable against the skin. (I should know, since I made three versions of the skirt before I was satisfied.)
A closer look at the shoes.
Just for fun, I added a shrug using the same fabric as the top.
Hope you’ve enjoyed my Pet Shop Model.
See you next time on the runway!

Pet shop girl! I love it.
Thank you, sir!
I am always a little surprised when you do something, shall we say “revealing” I don’t know why, you’ve done them before but I always titter a little and think “Oh my!”
Having said that I really like what you did. I love the top with the shrug, and while I typically don’t like bubble skirt this looks fun ! Good job!
Dash by the way does not like it… how dare a dog toy not be used for doggie enjoyment!
Thanks!
Would Dash like the head? I still have it. I was going to save it for some future weird project, but if his heart is set on a trophy…
he doesn’t like leftovers unless they involve some sort of meat. He did want me to remind you his birthday is on the 8/18th and his gotcha day is 10/18 … so you can plan ahead
That is SO considerate of him. Dash: always thinking of others.
I like it!
Thanks, Mark.
Very cool job, Becky. And LOVE the shoes. Thanks for the cloesup. 🙂 Back to school meetings this week have put a damper on my internet time. 🙁
Thanks!
You can’t let a little thing like your job and a salary interfere with your Internet time. What is wrong with the universe? 😉
