Matalan.  Excellent for washable showing suits. :)

tescos?

Depending on age/size (gie us a clue and might have more idea's. new look, MK one, other high street stores

Maybe try finding a pair of light trousers and a jacket of a different colour to go with or a nice, plain, knee lengh skirt.

Suit finding can be very hard for younger children as they don't wear them everyday.  I know the hassle I had, luckily eing quite tall ment as a child I could fit in petit ranges (although looked abit silly on hips etc)  It sometimes worked.

no we always wear a colour that makes the dog stand out from you if you have a black dog and a black suit it is harder for the judes to see where the dogs outline is   (www.k9photos.co.uk click on veiw photos then dunstable then Best Puppy in show look at the Akita) the photo has been loghtend but if it was darker you would not see the dogs face
- By f.a.brook [gb] Date 21.10.06 01:05 UTC
yes a colour that makes your dog stand out but i was told the handler should blend into the background so wearing a suit of the same colour (and by that i mean not a two toned suit! e.g pink jacket black trousers ) keeps it simple and you blend in better, im tiard i didnt explain my point properly! sorry!

Fee go to bed! :P  Leave it to me! ;)

Orange jackets don't make you blend in btw ;)

Infact a bright jacket can be good....if your good enough handler a judge will remember you in a big class better (not always a wise idea if your not compeating at the top though! :D
- By f.a.brook [gb] Date 21.10.06 01:12 UTC
im going slowly!!!
leave my orange jacket alone :P! i only wear it for open shows and i dont do a skirt/dress suit at open shows!!!! in the breed ring i was known for my orange jacket when i wore it for breed showin so ner! lol

I think Fee was replying to me of suit (jacket and trousers/skirt) to be the same colour...not the same colour as the dog.  She herself currently wear a red suit with black dogs! :)

But no Fee I always used to wear black trousers and a colour jacket with my red boxers and then the red and whites :)  (Problems came when I got sonja, being black and all)

often like to wear in the summer beige trousers and green jacket :)
