YES - the ETA was accurate


Did you tell the maker about any issues you had?

---

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.
This was my first fursuit, and it is surprisingly easy to wear. A fan is installed in the muzzle for optimal ventilation. It does not get hot inside, I've never got sweaty wearing it. The vision is excellent, I only have a minor blind spot, and it's better than any fursuit head I've worn from friends. Because of this, I can walk around just fine without any help.
The base used has been 3D printed from another maker. It's very easy to clean.
The head was a bit too tight at first, and this has been fixed after a convention we attended together. It can be worn with glasses, which was absolutely essential for me.

The inside has not been lined up.

The fursuit head had had some issues after wearing it at a convention (some of the jaw bolts came apart and one ear broke) and it was fixed in a timely manner. My request of the mane in the back being sewn (to the back) wasn't addressed, probably forgotten. I've decided not to bother the maker further about it and fix it myself.

Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume piece looks from the outside.
The appearance is perfect, she has been following the concept art very well. The tongue had been forgotten at first but has been added later on.
The fur feels soft and the hair and mane has been very nicely realized.
The maker has mentioned the eyes would be follow-me eyes and they weren't, but it doesn't bother me.
The only minor default is that the markings on the nose are not symmetrical.

---

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 hand paws overall. They're easy to use even with 4 fingers. They allow for optimal movement, they do not slide off and they're easy to put on.

Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume pieces look from the outside.
I really like the appearance of them, they're semi-puffy which is what I was looking for. The markings are symmetrical. I was a bit surprised that the claws are made of fabric and not out of plastic like most realistic suits, but they've grown on me.

The paw pads are made out of silicon and are pleasant to look at.

---

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.
Nothing special to add about the tail, it is easy to put on and wear.

Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume pieces look from the outside.
It was bigger than I imagined but it does not drag on the floor, which is a big plus. It has a nice curve to it that makes it pleasant to look at instead of just "hanging" behind me.

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?
The concept art had been commissioned by me years before knowing about the maker. She did not ask for anything else.
She followed the concept art perfectly (minus the symmetry on the muzzle) and I'm very pleased with it.


How well does everything fit together and match up?
The whole partial is very nice and every part of it match up. The colors are consistent. The costume is consistent with the maker's realistic style.


How easy was it to initially contact the maker for a quote?
I found out about the maker in a local furry meeting. I then contacted her on Facebook and we agreed on the project the very day I contacted her.


How satisfied are you with the response time from the maker?
How long did it take the maker to get back to you?
The maker got back to me immediately.


How satisfied are you with the professionalism and customer service and of the maker?
The maker tends to treat you more like a friend than a potential customer.


How satisfied are you with how long your project took to complete?
The deadline was a convention we were both attending and it has been respected. The suit was delivered there in person.


Are you happy with the product you received?
The project met my expectations and was worth the price I paid


Describe your overall experience with this maker.
Overall, minus the markings symmetry that could have been realized better on the muzzle and the claim that the suit would come with follow-me eyes and did not, I'm very satisfied of the partial.

I think the best thing about it is how great the vision is inside.

The suit went through light changes after me getting it (I asked for a different hair placement and more hair overall). The suit also came without a tongue (forgotten by the maker) but she added it afterwards. The changes were free and were realized quickly.
Several issues showed up after a convention (a bolt in the jaw fell off, and one ear broke), and were fixed by the maker in a timely manner.

I would work with this maker again.
