Did the maker meet your deadline?
YES - the deadline was met
Did you tell the maker about any issues you had?
Yes. The only issues were with the due date. Yes it was sort of met but a little bit further out then what i was promised when i paid a 400$ rush fee. Hence the really short time in between payment and completion.
Also i have edited the feetpaws to better fit my feet since they were made on loose fitting slippers which the maker is aware of.
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 AMAZING. I love wearing her. The vision and ventilation are super awesome! It is a tad bit loose on me but not too bad that i cant use it. Nothing pokey or stabby, the whole thing is lined nicely with lycra and provides excellent cooling. Ive yet to fully bathe the suit besides brushing and disinfecting since i dont sweat a lot.
For the vision, its so well done that i dont have any blind spot and my peripheral vision is almost perfect!
Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume piece looks from the outside.
Its made on an expanding foam base and its perfectly symmetrical. The shaving is more than satifactory and i think the shaving on this maker's suits gives her the most stand out ability above all. The fur is amazing and soft and almost never gets matted. The eyes follow perfectly well. The tongue and the nose are both very soft cuddle fleece to match the rest of the suit.
It matches my fursona spot on.
Special Attachments and Features
Please describe how satisfied you are with any extra features your head has.
My head came with a floppy ear and a pair of plastic glasses.
I didnt recieve my glasses until MFF. When i got them, they fell off my suit and didnt really stay on. They also just looked too thick and didnt sit well.
I dont blame the maker they were her first pair so it was a hit or miss. I just stuck to my party city glasses in the end.
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 body is very nice however its a tad loose. I can move around really well in any position. The seams are very durable and have stayed together thus far after 3 cons.
The body is not lined but it does breathe well for a digitigrade bodysuit.
Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume piece looks from the outside.
The markings and symmetry are perfect! Everything is matched to the concept art.
Special Attachments and Features
Please describe how satisfied you are with any extra features your bodysuit has.
The digi padding in the calf actually is attached to the bodysuit. The thigh padding is a bit cumbersome so I had to sew the pillows onto a pair of under armor pants.
The padding is lycra pillows that kind of slide around and float loosely in the legs.
The look of the digi is really nice from the outside though.
My tail is sewn on the body and made of cuddle with a lycra lined foam insert. Its very well shaped and just barely drags.
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 hands are great i just wish the edges of them were longer or hemmed at least. Theyre lined with lycra. The fingers are puffy and they have plush claws made of cuddle fleece.
Over all the shape and wear is really nice and comfortable.
The feet are a bit different though. Theyre VERY large and VERY heavy. At first when i recieved the costume i could barely walk 100 feet without taking a seat for a while. The slippers inside before i replaced them with shoes were very loose fitting and didnt have a heel to make them stay on so my feetpaws sort of flopped around. The indoor bottoms look REALLY good.
Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume pieces look from the outside.
Ive been given a thousand different compliments on them. All the fur choices are really nice and super soft. The pads are cuddle like the rest of the suit.
After i put new shoes in the feet theyre MUCH lighter and easy to wear.
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.
The tail is attached to the bodysuit. I dont require a belt to wear the suit. The only downside to this is that I cannot partial without my kigu on.
Aside from the slight drag on the bottom tip of the tail causing a stain, it has good wags and is nicely done.
Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume pieces look from the outside.
Very nice look to it. Brght colored and matches the concept art well.
Special Attachments and Features
Please describe how satisfied you are with any extra features your tail(s) have.
No special attachments just a plain shark tail.
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?
Yes everything fits i just wish the feet and hands had extended fur on them so that when i stretch out my limbs i dont have to deal with showing skin.
How easy was it to initially contact the maker for a quote?
She is a friend and pretty easy to contact.
How satisfied are you with the response time from the maker?
How long did it take the maker to get back to you?

Maker was professional and friendly. We ARE friends so I suppose its a little different.

It was pretty short of a time considering normal completion time. However i did pay a rush fee so that i could have it by the end of summer.
Are you happy with the product you received?
Im very happy with her I honestly couldn't of asked for better. She turned out perfect.
