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.
The head is very comfortable, While it does get warm relatively quickly it is far from unbearable Being a solid resin head it is going to be hotter, from what I have found, it stays in place in almost all head movements unless you are thrashing your head around then you might have to adjust it slightly, but it stays in place better than my glasses!
Though I haven't tried wearing it with glasses, but I think there would be room, I can see well enough without them so its not a huge issue, the blind-spot is about what you would expect on a realistic suit, right where the muzzle is is a very small blind-spot in front, though the total vision range is from maybe 60-100 degrees from the muzzle (total not each side) So I feel it has very good visibility overall.
Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume piece looks from the outside.
He is almost too cute to really have words for, I loved him at first sight, the head is incredible, I wanted to pet him like a dog for the first few minutes I had him, I feel the head's symmetry is very good, and the shaving to me is nearly perfect, though around the 'tear ducts' might need trimmed a little, but I think outside of that the shaving is incredible.
His fur is soft, and thick, the first time I brushed him he looked incredible, his fur almost had a shine to it.
Given I wanted the head was intended with a moving jaw (Still learning that part) it came out with a neutral face, which I am extremely happy with, I see suits who are happy, and they can really only ever be happy as that is how there suit is modeled. I'm thrilled with how he came out Even his tribal markings on his ear are on point!
Special Attachments and Features
Please describe how satisfied you are with any extra features your head has.
I wanted him with a movable jaw, which to me is still hard to learn how to make it look like I am talking, but the jaw itself seems incredibly sturdy, I don't see any problems occurring with it any time soon!
BODY
The following questions ask you to explain how satisfied you are with each feature of the body of the costume.
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 costume.
The suit while is a little loose I am very happy with because it helps with doing dancing and other things, in my un-experienced opinion, the fur is nice and thick, so it would be hard to find the zipper if you were not wearing it. I have worn it and danced in it, I don't see any seams tearing or any thing going wrong with it so far! I plan on wearing it a lot more in the coming year so I might give an update, but I'm beyond thrilled with him!
He''s great to walk around in and even to jog or dance in, but I've learned why you never see suiters stand still very long as the heat if you are not moving builds up very quickly and takes a long time to dissipate, but the airflow is good, standing near a fan you can feel the air flowing through the suit.
Appearance Satisfaction

I cant really say much outside of five out of five stars, There are some things that I wish were slightly different but really it was beyond what I was ever expecting, his extensive tribal markings on his back are all very clear when he is well brushed, I got to pick the color of the fur for the patterning because there apparently isn't a good 'Gold' color that is available, so I got a color that looked just as good better even, While I wished the markings were a little more spread out, the detail of them is amazing, I wouldn't have him any other way!
Special Attachments and Features
Please describe how satisfied you are with any extra features your bodysuit has.
More or less I had rather extensive tribal markings on my character's back, which the maker brought out amazingly!
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.
The feet are more comfortable than any other pairs of shoes I own, While much wider than any other pair of shoes I own, they are extremely comfy, though I tend to wear those, which are the outdoor feet more than I wear the indoor just because I like the outdoor feet more, they are incredible, the fur on them (as asked) is longer so if I move my feet right is almost looks like I have stompy feet!
The handpaws fit well, which I was impressed about because I have very large hands, and while the elastic around the wrist is tight right now, I feel it will slowly loosen as I continue to wear him.
Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume pieces look from the outside.
Ten out of ten, the look incredible, The yellow on the gloves while off color from the rest, matches the same color that is on his feet, so it works out well. I love the feel of them and they are nice and comfy for long periods of wear, much like when wearing thick gloves, you cant really use them for much, just because they are fluffy, five fingered gloves, I can probably use a pen, and a computer mouse, outside of that though, they are too big to type or anything like that.
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.
I'm happy with how the tail fits, I had asked for a longer tail, almost floor dragger but with a 'posing' wire inside to keep it off the floor, while this is the only part of the suit I was not 100% happy with, I think it is more than enough as it is, I already knock stuff over with it, I cant imagine what it would be like with a even longer tail. SO overall I am satisfied with the tail, From everything I have gone through so far I dont see any problems with the tail at all!

The tail is probably the simplest part of my suit its all black, so the fur looks good, As I had put above I had wanted a longer tail, that was more fluffy, but with the tail I got I'm more than satisfied!
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 well does everything fit together and match up?
I feel everything matches together very well, the markings from my back go up the back of my head and they match impeccably so I am thrilled with it overall, Everything about him I almost have to take it all in again when I get him out of his box, and get him on. I love the way it all looks together, if I could give a 11/10 this would be it.
How easy was it to initially contact the maker for a quote?
Impossibly easy, one email and got a response less than an hour later, they took my step by step how much things would cost, what I wanted, helped me pick out what I wanted too.
How satisfied are you with the response time from the maker?
How long did it take the maker to get back to you?
Five stars, usually throughout the process as we talked sometimes it would be minutes sometimes it might be a day or two. But usually it was within 24 hours of the message being sent they had sent a reply.
How satisfied are you with the professionalism and customer service and of the maker?
Overall great, I was treated like the only person in their queue, they were friendly and like a friend the entire process. While still maintaining a business attitude
How satisfied are you with how long your project took to complete?
Being some people wait a year or more for their suits, I'm thrilled, it was said to take 5 months or so, which I thought was crazy fast, but I was kept up to date on everything that was going on, and soon as it was all done it was shipped right to my door.
Are you happy with the product you received?
Completely over the top, If there was a way to be beyond satisfied, I would be it.
Describe your overall experience with this maker.
Final comments, Very easy to work with, super helpful, I could go on for paragraphs about how much they helped me, but with this being a first time I don't know if they would do the same or not.
While I was hoping the whole thing would be done in time of Denfur (2018 August 24-26) It wasn't fully completed but she let my have the suit for the weekend so that I could still suit at the convention, So I got to do two things that were all times firsts First time suiting and First time Convention going. I got the suit a little over a month or so later after she tailored it a little more so it wasn't too baggy on me, and that I got the indoor feet-paws and hand paws.
Completely satisfied, would completely recommend them to another and already have recommended them several times!
