HEAD
The following questions ask you to explain how satisfied you are with each feature of the head of the costume. 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 costume.
Very comfortable, slightly lose. It sometimes slips a little which makes it harder for me to see, but it's nothing major. I may sew in extra padding. Ventilation is a bit of a struggle but it becomes easier the more I wear the suit. The fursuit vision is great, only very small blind spot in middle.

Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume piece looks from the outside.
Symmetry is great, love the shape of the head.shaving is mostly even, very satisfied. Fur is mildly soft, easy to brush. Except the 'hair' fur is a little crunchy. The marking by the eye we're simply painted on, so I have to be care to no damage the markings when brushing that area of fur. Love the overall look and expression of the head, only issue is the eyes. They seem a little messy but I still like them. However, the fur color did not match the concept art and I was very disappointed. In email I had asked to see what fur was being ordered so I could approve it was the right color first. That comment was never responded to and the first time I saw the fur was when it was already being used on the fursuit, to late to order a different color. The color was grey instead of brown, the color I intended for my character. And the painted on markings by the eyes turned out white instead of tan like on the reference. I never got to see the headbase or anything, only was shown the head once it was completed. The ears were pointed instead of curved, which is wrong for an African wild dog, and I wasn't a fan of the original 'hair' they had, it was in a bubbly shape and seemed to be made out of a minky like fabric. I brought this up and the maker changed them correctly.

HANDS AND FEET
The following questions ask you to explain how satisfied you are with each feature of the hands and feet of the costume.

---

Wear Satisfaction
Please describe how it is to wear these pieces of your costume.
Very satisfied with the handpaws and sleeves, perfect fit and good quality. Only thing was the fur was gray when it was supposed to be brown.the feet are very comfortable, perfectly sized. I love the look of the feet paws (except wrong fur color) the only issue I had was at the bottom the foam and bottom of the show it was built on is very visible. I didn't know this until I received the suit. I'm not to bothered though and will most likely sew something over it.

Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume pieces look from the outside.
As stated above, very pleased with appearance besides the wrong fur colors and bottom of the feet paws.

TAILS
The following questions ask you to explain how satisfied you are with each feature of the tail(s) of the costume.

---

Wear Satisfaction
Please describe how it is to wear these pieces of your costume.
Tail is very comfortable, light. Have no trouble with it at all.

Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume pieces look from the outside.
Visible seams wear the belt loop is, but seems sturdy. The gray fur should be brown by the purple tip is perfect. The transition of furs is a little weird because the gray fur is thicker and longer then the purple fur, but I don't mind this.

OVERALL SATISFACTION
The following questions ask how satisfied you are with the overall buying experience, including your interactions with the maker and the resulting final product.

---

How was your concept art realized?
Unsatisfied with how this matched the concept art. I had to ask for the ears to be redone curved. Main fur color in concept art is brown but the fursuit is gray. Markings by eyes are tan but on the suit they are white. Satisfied with purple markings.


How well does everything fit together and match up?
Every matches up perfectly. Perfect fit except the slightly loose head.


How easy was it to initially contact the maker for a quote?
Very easy, contacted through deviantart, got quote through email.


How satisfied are you with the response time from the maker?
How long did it take the maker to get back to you?
Very good, ranging from a few hours to a couple of days.


How satisfied are you with the professionalism and customer service and of the maker?
Very pleasant to work with, although a few of my requests we're ignored, such as seeing wips of the head as it was being built and seeing fur before It was ordered.


How satisfied are you with how long your project took to complete?
Very satisfied, was finished faster then expected. Finished in a couple months.item was shipped right after I completed payment.


Are you happy with the product you received?
Quality is mostly good, except id say the look of the eyes is low quality, but vision is still great. Bottoms of feet paws could have been covered up. Other then that I was completely satisfied with quality


Describe your overall experience with this maker.
Overall they were great to work with, and I'm very satisfied with my suit besides it's flaws. I would recommend to others, but I'd caution them about making sure the right fur colors are ordered for their suit.
