CONSTRUCTION NOTES. French Bulldogs have a unique body shape with round contours, a broad chest, and a compact frame. Because of their structure, a well-fitting sweater needs special design elements, such as a wider chest area, a tailored belly cut, and flexible armholes to ensure comfort and ease of movement. These adjustments help create a snug yet comfortable fit that doesn’t restrict their mobility.
