FURSUIT HEAD
The following questions ask you to explain how satisfied you are with each feature of the head of the fursuit. If you are reviewing only a set of ears, your answers would also go in this section.Wear Satisfaction
Please describe how it is to wear this piece of your fursuit.
Are you satisfied with how it fits you? How is the ventilation? How is the vision?
The hood fits really well. Very comfortable!
Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your fursuit piece looks from the outside.
How is the symmetry? Is the shaving even? How does the fur feel and look? How satisfied are you with the overall expression and appearance of the head? Does it match the concept art?
I am very happy with how the hood looks. Originally she did a different design for the face but I didn't like it, so I had her change the eyes to be happier, and to remove the snout dots. She did this edit for me without any problems and I am so happy she did!
Special Attachments and Features
Please describe how satisfied you are with any extra features your head has.
What are they and how do they work? How easy are they to wear? How is the quality?
The ears on the hood flop really cutely!

If you are reviewing armsleeves or legs/pants that are seperate from a bodysuit, your answers would also go in this section.
(Appendages, such as hands, feet, tails, etc., are discussed later.) Wear Satisfaction
Please describe how it is to wear this piece of your fursuit.
How satisfied are you with how the body fits? How is the quality and durability? What is the interior like? How is the airflow?
The body of the kigurumi fits me well, and it's super roomy and loose. But this is my personal preference and it allows for better movement! The sleeves and legs have elastic cuffs on the end, and I LOVE the fact my kigu has pockets! Which makes kiguing at cons a lot easier since I can put my card key, wallet, and phone in my kigu. The kigu does heat up after a while of wear but that's to be expected. The face is embroidered, and the wings and tail are sewn to the body.
Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your fursuit piece looks from the outside.
How is the symmetry? Is the shaving even? How does the fur feel and look? How satisfied are you with the selection of colors and materials used?
I love my kigurumi! Everything is spot on and correct, everything is symetrical! It's super soft, made out of anti-pill fleece, and looks great, I really love the hood more than anything.
Special Attachments and Features
Please describe how satisfied you are with any extra features your bodysuit has. This includes UV reactivity, EL wire, uniquely placed squeakers or padding, clothing made specifically for the fursuit, or anything that is sewn into the bodysuit.
(Appendages, such as tails, wings, hands, and feet, are discussed later.)
What are the features and how do they work? How easy are they to wear? How is the quality?
My kigurumi has a tail attached and wings. I like the wings, but they are too big and floppy for my personal tastes, I would have preferred smaller, chibi wings, but that is my fault for not telling her I wanted chibi wings.

Please describe how it is to wear these pieces of your fursuit.

Please describe how it is to wear these pieces of your fursuit.
How satisfied are you with how the wings fit? How is the quality and durability?
As I mentioned before, I'm not completely happy with the wings since they're big and floppy, and sag a lot, and I would have preferred small chibi wings, but again, that is my fault for not telling her.
