Do you have any prior experience with fursuits?
Yes and No, this is my first full suit. When i had ordered the suit i did not have any other, during the time after ordering i made a partial. So i had a partial before having the full suit.

Fits good, Breath ability is not good but its better now than it was at first due to the change i had make.
Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume piece looks from the outside.
When i first got the head there was A lot wrong, i however couldn't get the maker to fix it before had as getting photo updates from her was like pulling teeth.
Nore is a Feline not purely cat but she should look like a cat in general. She looks nothing like a cat of any type instead she looks like a dog.
The original eyes that were on the head were... deflated. Thats probably the best way i can describe them. They were so flimsy that when you put on the head they couldn't keep there shape. The martial used for the follow me were way too weak. Due to how weak the eyes were i had to change them, i already had materials for follow me eyes and i only had 12hrs before the con to fix them. So i did the fixes to the head, well the ones i could do.
The markings are some what correct. But also wrong. One of the Blue spots on the face is tucking the eye, there not supposed to touch the eye.The black markings on the face were supposed to be Fur. Not Air Brushed. The Air brushing is Awful. its clumpy and looks bad, its not as noticeable at a distance but you can clearly see that the fur it clumped. I believe the Air brushing is a short cut to not have to sew the markings. I did not know she was doing this i was under the impression the black marking were fur. The light lime on the ears are also air brushed, I was told there would be some air brushing on the ears. But i was unawars that the entirety of the lime on the ears would be air brushed. the ears are un even in color particularly noticeable from the back. There is also clumps here too, i tried to brush most of them out as best i could. There is air brushing on the blue in the ears, and the black on the back of head.
The teeth were 100% wrong. I told here fabric toony teeth only. At first i thought she didnt add teeth at all, but under the tong were these small plastic relistic teeth. they looked like the cheep vampire teeth you get at Halloween.... They were removed by me. I made some simple toony teeth with white minky. I replaced them the same time as i did the eyes.
The head was lined, however the mouth was not opened. This was a big no no for me. I need to breath and have a quick access to water. So i cut a hole in the lining were the mouth is and sewed the edges to the moth opening. Breath ability is not good but its better now than it was at first.
I made the changes/fixes i could. But i cant fix the markings. I have since invested in getting a new head over trying to make further changes/fixes to this one.
BODY
The following questions ask you to explain how satisfied you are with each feature of the body of the costume.

(Appendages, such as hands, feet, tails, etc., are discussed later.) Wear Satisfaction
Please describe how it is to wear this piece of your costume.
Fits well, looks good.
Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume piece looks from the outside.
Body had only one issue and that was that the belly marking was wrong. When i first got it the marking angled in and ended at befor the crock area. This was wrong, the black of the front and back connect, the font should be strate not angled in.
The maker did fix this and now it is correct.
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.
There fin, hands are better now as i lined them with minky. And that made them 100% more comfy to wear.
The claws on hands and feet were not fully sewn on. I fixed these my self.
Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume pieces look from the outside.
There good.
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.
Good, After wearing to 2 cons i have decided i do not like white on the area were the tail drags. And looked to make a design change so i dont have to worry about the white nearly as much. No fault to the maker just me.
Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume pieces look from the outside.
Its good, the belt loop area looks bad. The sewing there looks very questionable to say the lest. its also pink.... due to how it wears i can not were this tail as a partial. Pink is not a part of my characters design.
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?
Bad on the head to ok to the rest.
How well does everything fit together and match up?
Im more satisfied with the body, head and paws. than anything else. The head bothers me since due to all of the things wrong with it.
How easy was it to initially contact the maker for a quote?
Meet at a local meet.
How satisfied are you with the response time from the maker?
How long did it take the maker to get back to you?
At first it was good, then when i started making payments it turned to ok then to very bad response time.
How satisfied are you with the professionalism and customer service and of the maker?
Bad, getting updates from her is like pulling teeth. I never saw my hands, feet or body till it was in the box and shipped. I got barely a hand full of pics on the head as it was being made. I got one pic of the tail before it was stuffed.
When i ordered I asked if she could do a deadline as i did want it for a con the next year. She said on multiple occasions she could. She literally got the suit to me a day before the con.
When she fixed the body she gave me a very questionable excuse as to why she couldn't ship it at first.
She has a telegram that is for her updates. half the time its people asking for pic updates on their suit. And 90% of the time they are ignored. And its not just a few days it can go on with them asking for over a month. Like i said getting updates explicitly pics is like pulling teeth.
How satisfied are you with how long your project took to complete?
Meh, The deadline i wanted it by was well past and only got it at the last moment. If she couldnt do the deadline she should have just said so.
Are you happy with the product you received?
Head is Bad.
Rest of the parts is good.
Describe your overall experience with this maker.
Ones that look to order from her i only say use your judgment. I'm not saying shes not a maker you shouldn't choose but until she changes the way she communicants with her costumers i cant personally suggest her to any one as a maker. Everything i can see from my personal experience to the telegram chat she has the communication is just bad.
