Unfortunately, this is one of those cases of "you get what you paid for". If you pay for a cheap fursuit, it's bound to be of low quality.
It looks like a cute suit, and with a little TLC, you can make it perfect.
If someone changes their name a lot and offers super low prices for suits, it sounds kind of fishy and they're trying to avoid being talked about in the community for whatever they do. I'm not saying that this person is bad, since I've never heard of them, but you have to be wary if they are not at least known to have a few suits out there. It looks like they may just be starting out and that's why you received a suit like this.
You never know.

The girl was a minor, 12, but from her pictures, they looked pretty cool and cute. I understood that I got what I paid for and I thought it would be legit. I thought she was a good maker. Lesson learned.
(I honestly don't care if I talk about this, therefore I did not know why I made it annoymous.)

The problem with working with minors is that they don't have to promise anything and can cacancel a contract at any time because they are not considered liable for something like adults would. So no matter what this person can do as they please. This is why many makers do not work with minors because they outgro the suit and can take advantage of the maker or customer since they can legally get away with it.
