Also, since we're friends, the way we chatted about this trade might be different than how Sere would contact customers. lol Keep that in mind! đ Maker CommunicationWe had expressed wanting to do this trade in the past and when our schedules lined up, we went for it! Project Completion TimeI was extremely satisfied. Sere is very quick, but always builds her suits with incredible quality. Overall Project QualityOverall, I'm extremely happy with the suit! This is my second trade with Sere and I'd be happy to continue doing trades in the future. Sere's professionalism is outstanding and you can really tell how much love she puts into her art. She has amazing communication and always delivers within the discussed time period. You seriously can't go wrong with this maker!! Components Head Wear SatisfactionThe head fits perfectly! The neck hole is a tiny bit tight when putting the head on, but it's super comfortable. Nothing pokes me or presses up against anything. There's plenty of room inside without it being loose. It's lined with techno scuba fabric. It's super smooth and cool to the touch. The suit's mouth lines up perfectly with mine so ventilation is great! I've worn it a bunch without a fan inside the head and it takes a long time for it to get stuffy. The eyes line up perfectly with my own, so it's very easy to see out of. It has normal fursuit vision. The back of the mesh is black which helps a lot with visibility. Visual SatisfactionSere used a cast foam base and symmetry is perfect! The markings match the ref exactly. The shaving is super smooth and consistent. A little air brushing was used to make the markings perfect! The fur is great quality and there are no bald spots. The airbrushing does not bleed or run. The expression is super cute! She has a bit of a sassy look to her and I love it! The eyes are follow-me. I don't think she changed any of the markings. Everything looks just like the ref! Hands Wear SatisfactionThese are super comfy!! They're a little big, but I don't have any issues with them sliding around. They're super cute toony paws! Everything was sewn very well. The tops of the handpaws are lined to keep the stuffing in the fingers. Visual SatisfactionThe symmetry is perfect. Both handpaws are the same. The claws are all lined up the same. The shaving is even and smooth. The fur is great quality. Sere picked the perfectly materials and colors for the character. Everything matches the ref sheet. Tail Wear SatisfactionThe tail is a great size and lightweight. It has 2 nylon loops for a belt and is super easy to wear. Everything feels super durable. Visual SatisfactionIt looks exactly like the ref! It has a great little wag to it. RatingFursuitReview rates by asking the question: Would you recommend this maker?
