Step 1: Resizing the Pattern
This part may be a little difficult if your dog in not extra small, but there are some ways around it. The dress pattern was originally designed to fit a puppy with a 9 inch chest. For a dog much larger than this, the skirt pattern piece won't fit on a standard 8 1/2 X 11 inch page. For a dog with a chest larger than 12" , neither piece will fit on a page. You could, however, take the printed pattern to a print shop and ask them to resize it for you, on larger paper.
First, do not print the patterns directly from the web or they will turn out too small. Instead, download the images to your computer and open them up in a graphics or photo editor. You should also be able to resize the patterns to the proper size using that program.
If you print the pattern at full size, 100%, it will fit a dog with a 9 inch chest, Increase the size of each pattern piece by 110% for a 10" chest, increase by 122% for an 11" chest, increase by 133% for a 12" chest...

Next, draw the line between the 2 pink Xs to make the skirt pattern, piece 1. This line should be almost double the distance between the 2 pink Xs on piece 2. Now, just draw in the curved line and you'll have a pattern for the skirt.

Step 2: Cutting Out the Pattern ( Pet Apparel Sewing Patterns)
Cut 1 on fold for pattern piece 1(skirt). Cut 2 on fold for piece 2(bodice). You will need to cut out the arm openings. To do this, clip an X in the center of the circles and then carefully cut this area out.
Step 3: Sewing the Bodice
Place the 2 bodice pieces right sides together and sew along the lines indicated below. Use a 1/4 inch seam.
Note: Instead of following the instructions I provide for the arm openings, you might want to just use a button hole stitch instead. If you do this, just sew the button hole stitch about 1/4 inch from the circular line indicated, making the opening 1/4 inch larger, then clip away your extra fabric from the center.
Now, turn this piece right side out and sew along the arm hole openings, catching both layers of fabric. You might need to sew this part by hand. Use a 1/4 inch seam.
Next, clip around the arm hole openings, to your seam, and fold back the raw edges, towards what will be the inside of the bodice. Iron them in place, then sew them in place. You might want to do this step before you sew the 2 bodice pieces together, minus the sewing them in place. Iron your raw edges back, then you can totally hide them after you sew the bodices pieces together by using an invisible stitch, catching both layers. This would be the last step if you decide to do it this way. Another way to hide the edges would be by simply adding binding or another type of trim.
After you've done this part, add a couple of pleats to the back of the neck line, or gather it a little. To get a good fit, you might want to try in on your dog to see how much to gather or how big to make the pleats.
