Description
An Australian Christmas is thirty five degrees, a table in the backyard and a dog moving between every single person at it hoping something falls. Which is why a full festive outfit is a terrible idea here and a bow tie is a very good one. Puddings on a deep cranberry background, no coat, no jumper, nothing your dog has to pant their way through.
This is the Sailor cut, and on a print made of small repeating shapes that is the smart choice. Puddings need space to be recognisable as puddings. At the smaller Classic size a busy print can blur into a general red-and-brown from across the lawn, which is precisely where everyone is standing with their phones out.
Sailor size
The Sailor bow measures 13cm x 11cm. It is distinctly larger and wider than the Classic cut, which is 10cm x 7cm, and it suits a medium or large dog, a dog with a full coat, or anyone who wants the bow noticed rather than merely present. If your dog is genuinely small, the Classic version of this same pudding print will sit better.
Velcro, not slide-on
The bow wraps around your dog's collar or a harness strap and secures with velcro on the reverse. No threading, no unbuckling and no need to own a matching collar: it fits whatever they already wear, at any width. On a day where the dog is in and out of the house forty times, being able to put it on for the group photo and take it off again before lunch is worth more than it sounds.

Common sense bit
Bow ties are for styling rather than for wearing unattended. Take it off when nobody is watching the dog, especially on a day with that much food at ankle height. The velcro makes that a two second decision.
If you want a plain collar underneath that will not fight the print, have a look through the Cocopup collars, and a treat pouch is a genuinely useful thing to have on you when there are that many people willing to feed your dog ham.
