Satin Vampire Cape
Ties on, comes off, done.
A cape is the only costume shape that touches one surface of an animal and leaves everything else alone. That is not a small design point. It is the whole reason this one gets worn.

Why you'll love it
Made for happy, healthy pets
The least a costume can ask
A cape covers the back and nothing else. No sleeves to push legs through, no panel under the belly, nothing across the face. For an animal that has refused everything else, this is usually the one that stays on.
Off in one pull
It closes with a ribbon bow rather than Velcro or a buckle. One end of the ribbon and the whole thing is loose, which matters when the doorbell goes and you need it gone.
Fits a cat or a small dog
The tie runs from 20 to 35cm, so the same cape suits a cat and a terrier. The listing quotes 29 to 35cm as the comfortable middle of that range.
Good fit if
- A first costume, for a pet with no history of wearing one
- Cats and small dogs between a 20 and 35cm neck
- Households where the outfit needs to come off at the door
- Photographs indoors rather than a walk outdoors
Look elsewhere if
- Your dog is bigger than a spaniel, since nothing here will reach
- You want warmth, because lined satin provides none
- The animal will be outdoors near hedges or fences
One surface, one fastening
Count what an outfit touches. A four-leg suit touches the neck, the chest, the belly and all four limbs, which is nine points of contact an animal can object to. This cape touches the throat and lies on the shoulders. There is nothing under the body, nothing around a leg and nothing on the head, so there is almost nothing to fight.
That is why it is the shape to try first with an animal you have never dressed. If a pet refuses a cape it will refuse everything, and you have learned that in ten seconds for the price of the cheapest item in the range. If it accepts one, you know a jumper is worth trying next year.
The ribbon does all the work
The collar band is 13.5cm deep and closes with a ribbon rather than Velcro or a plastic buckle. Ribbon is the right choice here for one reason: it opens completely in a single pull from either end, with no seam to unpick and no clip to locate by feel while an animal is moving.
It has one weakness worth knowing. A bow tightens when the cape is dragged, and satin is slippery enough to drag on furniture. Tie it so two fingers lie flat under the band, then look again after the animal has walked a circuit of the room, because that is when a loose bow becomes a tight one.
Reading the fit without a chart
There is no size to choose. The band adjusts from 20 to 35cm and the supplier quotes 29 to 35cm as the range it sits best across, which in practice means a cat, a chihuahua, a pug or a small terrier. A collie or anything heavier is outside it, and there is no larger version of this style to move up to.
Judge the length by where the hem falls rather than by any number. Spread across the back it measures 71 by 51cm, so on a cat it reaches past the tail and on a small terrier it stops near the hips. Both are fine. What you do not want is a hem the back feet can tread on, which is the one way a cape trips an animal rather than merely annoying it.

Good questions
Before you buy
No. The tie stops at 35cm, which covers cats, small dogs and the smaller end of medium. A collie or a labrador is outside it entirely, and there is no larger size in this style.
Loose enough to slide two fingers flat under the collar band. A ribbon tightens if the cape is pulled, so err generous and check it again once the animal has moved around.
For a photograph on the doorstep, yes. Not for a walk: satin catches on hedges and gateposts, and a cape that snags while the animal is moving pulls at the throat.
Black outside, red lining and red trim. The collar stands up in black with a red edge, so the red only shows when the cape moves.
Usually, because the weight is negligible and it hangs rather than grips. A cat that reverses hard will shed it, which is a feature rather than a fault.
