Maker CommunicationWe communicated about payment amd shipping very quickly with no snags or hangups. Project Completion TimeThis was a pre-made, so I am not sure what the timeline looked like, however there was a suit from this series produced for each month that year! Overall Project QualityI am so thoroughly thrilled amd would recommend this maker wholeheartedly. There is genuine attention to detail and so much genius to the overall design and I love having this as my main suit. Components Head Wear SatisfactionThis fursuit head was part of a series of pre-mades made based off the birth stones of each month. I fell in love with this suit at first sight, and her design matched my existing fursona so closely, I only needed to make a few design changes to match this pre-made. Realistic fursuits are generally a bit difficult to wear compared to other suit types, but this one has consistently been very wearable and has suprisingly good visibility. The articulated mouth adds excellent ventilation. Even despite having some delicate pieces, it's held up well and been very easy to clean. Given that this suit wasn't custom made to my measurements, so the fit isn't necessarily perfect, but good nonetheless. At most it means I occasionally have to shift the front of the suit face up onto the front of my own face every once in a while if it slips while dancing or frolicking a con floor. My only complaint with the structural sturdiness has been the antennae and the reflective panels on the ears being a bit delicate. The elastic that holds the base to my head has worn out a bit after over 5 years of wear, though that is to be expected. Overall, this suit has held up wonderfully and has seen many cons and events with no snags. Visual SatisfactionThe artistic details are where this suit truly shines. The airbrushing is gorgeous, and the sculpting on the mouth parts/other face features is beautifully done. I truly don't have any complaints with the art quality. The shaving is immaculate, and the fur lays perfectly. I have such a beautiful, eye-catching suit and I get so many compliments on her. I haven't personally noticed any issues with symmetry or flaws. Her lining is very soft and stays cool even with hours of wear. Special FeaturesPossible antennae, iridescent vinyl ears, articulated jaw All of these make the suit so unique and lifelike. The ears bounce and shimmer when I move, and the antennae being possible make them very expressive and cute. The articulated jaw lets me choose between a classic smile or more of a demure expression. Very cool features! RatingFursuitReview rates by asking the question: Would you recommend this maker? YES This review has been marked with a positive rating.
