Halloween Pajamas With Your Dog: Matching Sets for the Whole Family

What are halloween pajamas made from your dog’s photo?

Halloween pajamas made from your dog’s photo are pajamas where the pattern is your dog. MyDogPics cuts your dog’s face out of the picture you upload and prints it all over the garment by dye sublimation, which puts the color into the polyester fibers instead of leaving a layer on top that can crack or peel. It is the face of the dog you live with, repeated across the fabric.

That’s why they work in October. A pajama for Halloween night has two jobs, to be comfortable enough to sleep in and funny enough for the photo, and cute halloween pajamas from a store shelf tend to show a stock cartoon that looks the same on every shopper. A pair of halloween pajamas with your own dog’s face is the one thing nobody else at the party is wearing.

You choose the garment, then read its designs, colors, sizes and options on the product page. The sizes are below.

Which sizes cover women, men, kids and toddlers?

Every garment below is printed with the face from your photo. Each product page lists its own designs, colors and options, so check there for the look and use this table to pick the garment and size.

Adult halloween pajamas start at XS in pants and S in sets, and both go up to 5XL, which covers plus size halloween pajamas without a separate range. Halloween pajamas for adults come as pants, stretch sets, satin sets and short sets, so halloween pajamas adults wear to bed can also be the pair they wear to a party.

Halloween pajamas women can order include the satin shirt dress, which runs S to 3XL, along with every set and pair of pants above. Call them women’s halloween pajamas or ladies halloween pajamas, the options are the same. A size chosen at checkout is not covered by the remake-or-refund promise, so compare your measurements with the size list on the product page first.

Men’s halloween pajamas come as satin sets in S to 4XL, with long sleeves and pants or short sleeves and shorts. Halloween pajamas for men can also be the unisex pants, which run XS to 5XL.

Kids halloween pajamas start at 2Y in the stretch pants and 4Y in the satin sets, and both run to 10Y, with Youth S and M in the satin sets. The pants fit boys and girls alike, so boys halloween pajamas and girls halloween pajamas come in the same run.

Toddler halloween pajamas begin at 2Y with the pants, so toddler boy halloween pajamas and toddler girl halloween pajamas are the same cut. If you usually buy in toddler T sizes such as 4T or 5T, compare your child’s measurements with the size list on the product page, because kids sizes here are listed in years.

For halloween pajamas kids can wear again after October, the elastic cuffs matter: they let you adjust the leg length as a child grows. You can browse the full range in custom kid pajamas.

Halloween pajama pants or a full pajama set?

Halloween pajama pants are the easiest place to start, because pants are the one piece everyone in the house can wear. They are unisex halloween pajamas in the plainest sense, so the halloween pajama pants men wear and the halloween pajama pants women wear are the same garment in the same XS to 5XL run. They have 4-way stretch, an elastic waistband, elastic ankle cuffs and two side pockets.

The cuffs keep warmth in and let you adjust the leg length, which suits tall adults and growing kids alike. For halloween pajama pants couples can wear together, order one pair per person from the same photo.

Matching halloween pajama pants also need no coordinating top, so a plain tee lets the dog’s face carry the look. See the whole custom pajama pants collection for the options.

A halloween pajama set adds the button-up shirt. The stretch sets have a classic pajama collar with both pieces printed edge to edge, while the satin sets add contrast piping, a chest pocket and a drawstring waist.

If you run warm, the satin short-sleeve sets come with shorts, so halloween pajama shorts with a button-up top are in the range, as is a short-sleeve shirt with long pants. Short sleeve halloween pajamas suit a warm bedroom, while pants and long sleeves suit a cold one. If you only want the lower half, order the pants alone as halloween pajama bottoms.

Matching sets for couples, families and siblings

Matching halloween pajamas usually mean the same pattern on everyone, and here the pattern is the family dog. Halloween pajamas for the whole family start from one photo: order one set per person, choose adult and kids sizes together, and the whole house wears one face. You can keep the same background color on every order or give each person their own, where the design offers a choice.

Family halloween pajamas are placed as one order per person, with the photo uploaded each time. That makes halloween matching pajamas flexible: halloween family pajamas do not need identical garments, because the same dog on every piece ties the group together even when a mom wears a satin shirt dress, a dad wears a men’s set and the kids wear stretch pants.

Couples halloween pajamas work the same way: matching halloween pajamas for couples are two orders from one photo, a women’s size for her and a men’s size for him. Halloween pajama sets for couples can be satin or stretch knit, and couples matching halloween pajamas read as his and hers halloween pajamas because the dog on both is the dog they share. Halloween pajamas couples order together also make an easy photo for the card or the group chat.

For mommy and me halloween pajamas, a mom picks a women’s size and her child picks a kids size, both from the same photo. Siblings can wear sibling halloween pajamas in kids sizes the same way, and kids matching halloween pajamas leave room to add the grown-ups later. Matching halloween pajamas for adults skip the kids sizes and go straight to XS through 5XL.

Family matching halloween pajamas photograph best on the sofa or the porch step, with the dog in the middle looking a lot like the print. Take the picture before the candy arrives, so your halloween pj family photo shows everyone tidy and the dog calm.

How to prepare your dog’s photo

The photo is the one part of the order you control, and it decides how the face looks on every panel of the fabric. Faces repeat across the whole garment, so a close-up works better than a shot from across the room.

• Fill the frame with the head. Show both ears, the top of the head and the chin, with the eyes and nose in sharp focus.
• Use soft daylight. The American Kennel Club’s photo tips point to shade or golden hour, the first hour after sunrise and the hour before sunset; avoid harsh shadows and a bright window behind the dog.
• Get to eye level. The AKC says to shoot at eye level for the best results, which usually means kneeling or lying on the floor.
• Send the original file. Use the photo straight from your phone, not a screenshot or a picture saved from a chat app.
• Keep the head clear. Skip photos where a hat, bandana or costume covers the ears or forehead, because the whole head has to be in frame.
• One dog per photo. Multi-dog designs take one photo per dog, and each product page shows its own limit.

Take the photo before you need the pajamas, so there is time to retake it. If a picture is too small, dark or blurry to print well, MyDogPics emails you for another one before anything is printed; the quality of the uploaded photo is not covered by the remake-or-refund promise.

The AKC also advises stopping at signs of stress or fatigue, such as pinned-back ears, a droopy tail, lip licking or shaking, and bringing treats or a favorite toy to put the dog at ease. A calm dog gives a better face than a worn-out one. Our photo guide shows good and bad examples, and how to put your dog’s face on pajamas compares the ways to do it.

How ordering works, step by step

There is no proof step; a person checks every photo instead. The three steps are short:

• Upload. Add the original photo on the product page, then pick the size and, where the design offers one, the background color.
• We check. MyDogPics checks the photo and prepares the artwork, cutting the face out of the background and placing it in the design.
• We print and ship. The pajamas are printed after you place the order and shipped with USPS tracking.

Need to change something? Email support@mydogpics.com within 12 hours of ordering, before the order goes to print. Photos are kept for 12 months after the order and deleted on request at any time.

Easy costume ideas built on pajamas

A pajama halloween costume is the lowest-effort costume there is, and your dog’s face keeps it from looking like you gave up. The National Retail Federation’s Halloween data page puts dressing in costume among the top activities, at 50%.

For a halloween pajama costume, wear the pajamas Halloween night and add one prop. Pajama pants Halloween costumes are the laziest version, and these halloween costume pajama ideas need nothing you cannot find at home:

• The sleepwalker. Pajamas, slippers, a sleep mask pushed up on the forehead and a pillow under one arm.
• Slow morning. A robe over the pajamas, a coffee mug and bed hair.
• Dog and walker. One person in the dog’s face, one holding the leash.
• The fan club. A group in matching pajamas holding signs with the dog’s name.
• Pajama party. Everyone comes in pajamas, and the prize goes to the best slippers.

Halloween costumes with pajamas work best in a group, because the repeated face reads as one idea from across the room, and halloween costume pajamas can also be the base layer under any other costume. A halloween pajama party is the same plan at a bigger scale: ask guests to come in pajamas, keep the lights low and let the dog be the host.

Halloween themed pajamas start with the design and background color options on the product page, and the dog’s face does the rest. Order them early, since they are made to order after checkout.

Order early: made to order after checkout

Every pair is made to order after you check out and then shipped with USPS tracking, so the party date is not the order date. Current production and delivery times are on the shipping page. If we email you for a better photo, printing waits for the new one, so leave room for that too.

Timing is the usual October problem. According to the National Retail Federation, Halloween spending is expected to reach $13.5 billion this year, and about half of consumers (49%) began shopping for Halloween in September or earlier.

Made-to-order pajamas have no shelf stock to fall back on, which means your order date, not a store’s inventory, sets the deadline. Upload the photo, pick the sizes and place the order before you fix the party or photo date.

Keep the dog safe on Halloween night

Pajamas are the easy part of the night, and the front door is the hard part. The ASPCA’s Halloween safety tips cover the main risks for dogs:

• Candy. Chocolate in all forms, especially dark or baking chocolate, can be very dangerous for dogs, and sugar-free candy containing xylitol can cause serious problems.
• The door. Lots of strangers in creepy costumes can be scary and stressful for pets, so all but the most social dogs should wait in a separate, comfortable room away from the front door.
• Pumpkins. Pets can easily knock over a lit pumpkin and start a fire, so keep it where the dog cannot reach.
• ID. A pet ID can be a lifesaver in finding a lost pet on Halloween or any other day.

A quiet room also helps the photo. Take the family picture before the doorbell starts, while the dog is relaxed.

Giving dog face pajamas as a gift

Pajamas with a dog’s face make a thoughtful gift for a dog lover when the photo comes from the recipient’s own camera roll. Ask them, or someone in their family, for one sharp close-up of the dog, and make sure you own the photo or have permission to use it.

If you are not sure of the size, the unisex pants are the safer pick, because the cut is relaxed and the fabric has 4-way stretch. Remember that a size chosen at checkout is not covered by the remake-or-refund promise, so a quick look at a pair they already wear helps. More ideas are in our guide to the best gifts for dog lovers.
