Common questions

How do you keep the muzzle comfortable?

Tie the ribbon loosely at the back of the head with a bow, not a knot, so it can be loosened fast. It should rest against the mouth, never press on it.

What can I use instead of a wig?

A dark towel draped over the head works for photos. The robe and muzzle carry the costume; the wig is optional.
