Features: None Concept Art Photos of Completed Product Overall Initial ContactVery easy! She messaged me on Telegram! Maker CommunicationShe was very quick with responses and very polite and accommodating. Very transparent. She constantly sent me work-in-progress photos and asked my opinion on everything. She even used the specific furs I requested. Originally my feet were going to be indoor feet with sandals, but she couldn't source the glitter vinyl that was used on my original fursuit's handpaws by Phoenix Nest, so she asked me would I be okay with the feet being outdoor instead. I was fine with that! Project Completion TimeI was actually surprised at how fast I got my bodysuit and feet. She delivered them in-person to me at Furry Weekend Atlanta 2023. So the deadline was most definitely met! Overall Project QualityDespite some of the mentioned issues, I consider the issues very very minor, and they do not stop me from enjoying the bodysuit and feet. I adore how they look! I think the bodysuit and feet are very high quality and nothing has torn or ripped so far. Components One-Piece Body Wear SatisfactionThe bodysuit is easy to put on and wear. I have good range of movement. Unfortunately, the bodysuit was slightly tight on me when I got it. But not tight enough to be uncomfortable. I can still wear it and move around without discomfort. The armsleeves of the bodysuit sometimes requires the help of my partner to pull them down. This may not be Chevy's fault however, I think I may have gained some weight since I had done my duct tape dummy. I had done my duct tape dummy months ahead of time in advance, so again, I don't think this is Chevy's fault. Visual SatisfactionI absolutely adore how my bodysuit looks! Everything is pretty much spot on perfect. The shaving is really nice and clean and there's really no visible seams. However, the turquoise armband markings were supposed to be splatters, and they came out looking like straight lines. But, this does not stop me from loving the bodysuit. Regardless of the armbands, I'm still very happy with it! Feet Wear SatisfactionThey are incredibly comfort and very lightweight and easy to walk in! They are also very easy to put on and take off. The feet are lined on the insides with a sweat-wicking material, and the bottoms are outdoor soles. I have no issues with how the feet fit me! Visual SatisfactionI love how the feet look! They are symmetrical, shaving is very neat, and there's no visible seams. But I do have a minor issue. The cuff area tends to poke out of my bodysuit and is very very very visible in photos. It's difficult to tuck the bodysuit leg sleeves over the cuffs to hide the cuffs. RatingFursuitReview rates by asking the question: Would you recommend this maker?
