A bit bizarre. Mine wouldn't have tolerated anything like that....

Editted to add - just noticed there are 4 pics, click on the arrows.
 
Interesting.... I like Steampunk stuff but am not usually a fan of dressing up guinea pigs. Mine are happy to wear a daft hat for a photo shoot but I dont think mine would like that.
 
that is so cool!. imagine, one dressed up, in a cardboard tower, looking down on all the peasents to mess with.
 
I do think it would be fine to put on a placid pig for literally 3 minutes whilst you took a photo, I would not leave it on for more than a few minutes. I have put dragon wings on my dog (he has dressed up as a night fury) and Santa hats and Halloween hats on piggies, and also a Unicorn's horn on my horse but literally just for the photo shoot. I don't generally like things like that as it objectifies animals (is that the right word? do you know what I mean?) and dressing animals up seems to turn them into a toy and ignore their needs as animals.

Actually no, having just looked at the picture again I can see that it straps under the belly of the piggy and also looks quite heavy so that's a big NO from me as well!
 
Cute but I agree, doesn't look too comfortable.
 
Once I have spare cash; I plan to purchase this. Personally I think people overreact when it comes to dressing them and animals up in general. I can imagined I'd be flogged by a good few with what I've put on some of my animals (don't worry, all lived).
