This hilarious movie introduces us to five competitors and their dogs and we follow them as they prepare and attend a prestigious dog show. Each have very distinct personalities, not only in how they compete but also we can see it clearly in their costumes. One of these characters is Sherri, who along with Christy is entering her poodle named Rhapsody in White (aka Butch) into the competition.

Hank wears warm tones in comparison to Manny, who wears cool ones. He wears lots of red like his red flannel and red jacket. He of course is also very dirty and his clothes are worn from being on this island. This can be replicated with any kind of brown acrylic or fabric paint to add to the clothes to make them look distressed.

Babette wears very fitting outfits for a working 80s mom with lots of purple and blue pieces. She tends to wear jeans and high waisted, wide leg, and pleated dress pants that are rolled at the bottom to show her grey suede ankle boots. If you have “important hair” like Babette, this costume could be perfect for you!
