Wear Satisfaction
Please describe how it is to wear this piece of your costume.
Pros:
This bodysuit is very light and has great air flow. All the padding is polyfil and stuffed just the right amount so it's not too hot or too heavy. I asked the maker to double sew all the seams since I've had issues of seams busting in the past which he happily did for me. I've only had seams bust along the neck line, the stripes, and the tail. Which are all very common and easy to fix! I have a dragging tail which people step on quite often so the busted seams in the tail had nothing to do with the maker. He did a wonderful job making this suit just the right size for me.

Cons.
The only tips I could give the maker is with the feet and padding. I paid for indoor feet which turned out adorable but they have no shoes in them. The bottoms have some thin foam which doesn't support my feet for long wear. I mostly find this to be an issue at cons where I spend days in a row wearing the bodysuit, my feet are very sore after the first few hours. The next thing I think the maker could work on is the padding. He uses a thin, light lycra to make the padding. This material is light and lets air in, but it rips at the seams very easily and I've had to fix a seam after almost every wear. He attached the tail but left the base of the tail open so sometimes polyfil falls out. He also did a zipper on the back of the suit, but I would have preferred it on the front.


Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume piece looks from the outside.
The bodysuit fits me wonderfully. I'm a bit on the heavy side and he did a great job making the body flow nice and is very slimming. The indoor feet are absolutely adorable. The feet and tail are attached to the body giving it a seamless look. All the markings are great and this suit turned out better than I could have ever imagined. The only thing I could complain about is the sleeves were a little short for me. When I told him about this issue he offered to fix it free of cost or send me extra fur free of cost. I went with him sending me fur since I can sew and him a lot of shipping!


Special Attachments and Features
Please describe how satisfied you are with any extra features your bodysuit has.
I asked for attached feet and tail. He happily did this and made them look flawless.

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?
The wrists fit perfectly with the hands. The neck was a little low, but that was a very simple fix. He offered to fix that free of charge as well.


How easy was it to initially contact the maker for a quote?
Very easy! He was very excited to take on my commission which made me feel very important and immediately welcomed.


How satisfied are you with the response time from the maker?
How long did it take the maker to get back to you?
Always replied promptly to my questions. Never went more than 24 hours with out a reply!


How satisfied are you with the professionalism and customer service and of the maker?
Very professional while still keeping a friendly appearance.


How satisfied are you with how long your project took to complete?
I believe he took on my commission outside of his commission opening. I was put to the back of the queue and was told this upfront.


Are you happy with the product you received?
I'm beyond happy with the quality of his work.


Describe your overall experience with this maker.
He was very professional and took very good care of me during the commission process. Any problem I had with the suit I brought up to him and he was very quick to offer multiple ways to address the problem. I will be a returning customer and I will be referring friends to him.
