Overall

Initial Contactvery easy! I saw their form on twitter and filled it out and received some emails back before we switched over to telegram as sometimes I don't get alerts from my email and wanted to make sure I could get back to them asap!


Maker CommunicationSuper quick response time, and was willing to work with me on any questions I had about the process! helped me find out what furs my head were so we could better color match and was very nice the whole time!

Project Completion TimeTook only a couple months from first contact to finished + received product! was shipped in 2 boxes that arrived very quick even over the canada/usa border


Overall Project QualitySuper happy with the product I received!! Very high quality, ESPECIALLY on the stitching, I've never had a popped seam or any sort of stretching/movement issues. The colors all matched my existing head and they worked with me to figure out what colors those were, super nice and very up to date on communication every step of the way !! Finished faster than I expected too! Very worth every penny I paid, never had any problems


Components


One-Piece Body

Wear SatisfactionThey body fits me perfectly! the arms are perfectly wide enough to fit the handpaws underneath and lots of room for various movement in the shoulders area too! Fits close to hip/groin area providing great movement, I routinely love crawling around on the floor and running full sprint in this suit when I wear it! Gives me plenty of breath-ability to be able to go all out and full energy without having to worry about damaging it!
I've worn it many times to many cons and still have yet to repair any seams! excellent craftsmanship and very high quality~
No lining in the body which is good since I wear underarmour anyway !


Visual SatisfactionLove the look of the bodysuit, they were able to color match to an existing head I have perfectly! love that they used longer fur for my chest area as well to give it extra floof! Extremely soft and very easy to wear! And I love they added my little belly nipples and even put stuffing in them so they are nice and round !!


Hands

Wear SatisfactionThe paws I commissioned are mitten styled so there’s no slots for fingers and 0 dexterity and I love them!!! no popped seams or any problems, not lined but I'm not worried about that since I wear gloves under anyway!


Visual SatisfactionThe tiny claws he gave my paws and how he matched my pawpads being different colors is perfect, love the minky fabric used for the claws and pads as well!
super soft and matched exactly what was expected!


Tail

Wear SatisfactionAttaches to the body via a belt loop at the base of the tail, really good quality


Visual Satisfactionvery cute to wiggle side to side and have it sway ! I do think a little shorter would be cuter but I love the long tail as well!! so puppy mode!!


Feet

Wear SatisfactionThe feet fit perfectly, exactly the right size and very high quality. they are lined with a soft plush fabric to help keep the stuffing in shape ! I've had no problems with any damage or anything. Very easy to slip on and off when getting in or out of suit and the fit is so well they stay on and don’t fall off just from wearing/running/etc !


Visual Satisfactionsooo freaking cute!! I love the tiny toe beans and the cute pawpad on the bottom!! very even shaving, super soft and excellent quality!
