Maker CommunicationThe maker(s) are super nice and responded fast to my emails/questions. I also got frequent updates on my suit via email and lots of progress pictures/videos. Project Completion TimeThe Project Completion Time was as good. Overall Project QualityI'm overall happy with my fursuit. Even though it has it's downsides and I had to sell the bodysuit for personal reasons, the partial it's still a cute and enjoyable fursuit to wear. Components Head Wear SatisfactionThe head is lined and super comfortable to wear. The breath-ability and vision are good. Visual SatisfactionThe markings are all almost perfectly symmetrical. The shaving is also great, no backing visible and done very professionally. The face is super cute and definitely eye-catching! The hair looks adorable but sometimes gets in the front of the eyes, so I have to adjust it after looking down a lot. One-Piece Body Wear SatisfactionI commissioned the bodysuit after I purchased the partial. Important information: It was the first bodysuit the maker ever made for a buyer. Sadly, the bodysuit ended up being very big and looked more like a plush suit (something I didn't want but didn't communicate with the maker during the development process). I thought it would be more of a slim-fit bodysuit like most fursuits. After I unboxed the bodysuit, I felt a bit disappointed but still gave it a try. Putting it on was only possible with the help of another person. The pillows for the hips/legs are worn over the shoulders and are very heavy. That's why I decided to sell the bodysuit after a while. Visual SatisfactionIt looked very cute, the shaving was once again good and the fur colors matched those of the partial. Upper Body Wear SatisfactionThe wings can be worn like a backpack. They also feature a little bag where you can store stuff like money/fursuit spray etc. Very lightweight and comfortable to wear. Visual SatisfactionThey look pretty much symmetrical and are absolutely adorable! The fabric is soft and durable. Hands Wear SatisfactionThe paws are puffy paws and lined. Comfortable to wear for a few hours, but after a while my fingers start to hurt because it's a five-finger paw, and they spread my fingers apart a bit. The paws are durable, but after wearing them a few times, big black spots became visible on the white paw pads, even though I was very careful not to touch anything that could dirty them. My best guess is that it's some of the brown fur underneath the paw pads shining through. Visual SatisfactionThe paws are pretty and the shaving/markings are done well. Tail Wear SatisfactionThe tail is a nub tail and can be worn with an attached belt. Fits me so well I almost forget it's even there! Visual SatisfactionCute with good shaving. Feet Wear SatisfactionThe feet paws have socks inside and belts so they don't slip from your foot. Kinda heavy/difficult to wear (I can't recommend walking stairs in these) but worth it! Visual SatisfactionJust like the handpaws, the markings/shaving is done very well. I'm happy with the feet paws. RatingFursuitReview rates by asking the question: Would you recommend this maker?
