Size
Guide
The right fit should feel comfortable, natural, and easy to wear. Use your pet's measurements together with the chart below to select the closest size for clothing and selected accessories from Solvane Atelier.
Start with your pet, not the label.
Pet sizes can vary considerably even when two animals have a similar weight. For this reason, we recommend measuring the back length, chest, and neck before selecting a size.
Weight is provided as an additional reference only. If your pet falls between two sizes, compare the actual measurements with the chart and consider the intended fit of the specific garment.
Back Length
Measure from the base of the neck to the beginning of the tail while your pet is standing naturally.
Chest
Measure around the widest part of the chest, usually just behind the front legs. Keep the tape comfortably close without tightening.
Neck
Measure around the lower part of the neck where the collar or garment neckline naturally sits.
Size Chart
Measurements below are practical body-measurement references for selecting a suitable size. Always prioritize your pet's actual measurements over breed names or approximate size labels.
| Size | Back Length | Chest | Neck | Recommended Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 20 cm / 7.9 in | 30 cm / 11.8 in | 20 cm / 7.9 in | 1–1.5 kg / 2.2–3.3 lb |
| S | 25 cm / 9.8 in | 36 cm / 14.2 in | 24 cm / 9.4 in | 1.5–2.5 kg / 3.3–5.5 lb |
| M | 30 cm / 11.8 in | 42 cm / 16.5 in | 28 cm / 11.0 in | 2.5–4 kg / 5.5–8.8 lb |
| L | 35 cm / 13.8 in | 48 cm / 18.9 in | 32 cm / 12.6 in | 4–6 kg / 8.8–13.2 lb |

Between two sizes?
If your pet's measurements sit close to the upper limit of a size, compare the next size as well. For thicker winter garments, allow enough room for comfortable movement and layering.
Different garment shapes
Clothing styles may have different cuts and construction. Four-leg garments, sweaters, padded coats, vests, and harnesses may fit differently even when they share the same size label.
A simple three-point measurement makes choosing easier.
Keep your pet standing
Place your pet on a level surface in a relaxed, natural standing position. Avoid measuring while your pet is sitting or lying down.
Use a flexible tape
A soft measuring tape gives the most useful result. Keep it close to the body but do not pull it tightly.
Record three measurements
Write down back length, chest circumference, and neck circumference before comparing them with the chart.
Check the product page
Some garments or accessories may have additional product-specific measurements or fitting notes. Always review them before ordering.
Choosing the right fit
For summer clothing
Lightweight cotton, Tencel, mesh, and breathable garments can generally sit comfortably close to the body without excessive looseness.
For winter clothing
Padded coats, down-filled styles, fleece, and thicker sweaters may require consideration of the garment's construction and the space needed for comfortable movement.
For harnesses
A harness should provide secure support without restricting the shoulders, pressing into the legs, or creating uncomfortable pressure around the neck and chest.
