You guys!!!! We have laughed about this for days and I am DYING to share with you the costumes that we made for our 2 Boston’s Wallace and Gertie. (If you are unfamiliar with Tight Pants, you will most definitely want to watch this video.)
You might remember that we are planning having a tight pants Halloween themed parade during our trick or treating adventures.
…so of course the dogs needed a Tight Pants costume too.
To make this costume we used:
;
A thrifted T shirt (striped of course)
Baby Tights
A hair scrunchie. Made out of hair.
Liquid Stitch (or a sewing machine)
Black Elastic
Start by cutting the front piece off of your T shirt and fold it in 1/2 hot dog style.
I eyeballed a dog shirt pattern and cut out this shape, making sure to preserve that awesome mock turtleneckiness of the collar.
Then I Liquid Stitched the front piece of the shirt together.
The elastic was tied onto the scrunchie in 2 spots to make a little hat.
And the feet were cut off of the tights.
Then we laughed and bribed the pups to sit still long enough that I could get a picture.
FYI, Mayor Grimble just declared these pups the hippest in the land!
You HAVE to send this to The Tonight Show! I bet this would totally get mentioned on the show!!!
Amen!! This the THE BEST! You’ve just gotta send it in!!
I have watched the tight pants video so many times and it makes me laugh like a weirdo every time. So funny! I love these little costumes!

Very cute! I hadn’t seen this. However, have you seen the original Tight Pants video? Leslie Hall is a musician from here in Iowa. Gotta watch, one of the most bizarre/best things you will ever see!

As a Boston owner, and a Fallon fan who also repeatedly viewed those skits, I approve! Now my Kicker wants some tight pants 🙂
