HEAD
The following questions ask you to explain how satisfied you are with each feature of the head of the costume. If you are reviewing only a set of ears, your answers would also go in this section.

---

Wear Satisfaction
Please describe how it is to wear this piece of your costume.
Head has amazing ventilation and FANTASTIC vision, honestly the best vision in a suit ive ever worn. The head is massive though, does not fit and moves around a LOT. Head is extremely disproportionate to my body even with the body- the head is flat on the back side of it and there are holes in the muzzle, glue spots, and visible seams- some beginning to pop even with gentle wearing. Exposed foam on the head and overall is just way too big, patchy uneven shaving and the backing of the cheap fur is visible on multiple spots.

Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume piece looks from the outside.
The suit markings are symmetrical but the shaving is not, the brown fur is nice but the white and black is very cheap and rough to the touch. A bit disappointed overall but i do still love her.

---

BODY
The following questions ask you to explain how satisfied you are with each feature of the body of the costume.
If you are reviewing armsleeves or legs/pants that are seperate from a bodysuit, your answers would also go in this section.
(Appendages, such as hands, feet, tails, etc., are discussed later.)

---

Wear Satisfaction
Please describe how it is to wear this piece of your costume.
The body is extremely comfortable and form fitting. The arms, however, are MASSIVE and crinkle up, the zipper is visible but thats not a big issue. When the bodysuit arrived there was no tail hole which was a tad irritating. Overall i think the body is my favorite part of the suit except for the arms (i can fit my leg in them)

Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume piece looks from the outside.
The body looks good other than the arms. The marking on the back is very asymmetrical and wonky looking but the stripes on the arms and thighs look great. I dont like that the zipper is visible but theres not much you can do about that i assume. Backing of the fur is visible on all white spots on the suit. The white goes all the way up to my shoulders which doesnt exactly match my concept art.

---

HANDS AND FEET
The following questions ask you to explain how satisfied you are with each feature of the hands and feet of the costume.

---

Wear Satisfaction
Please describe how it is to wear these pieces of your costume.
Hands and feet are comfortable, i cant grab anything in my paws but its because theyre padded. Feet are built off of crocs so theyre comfy but they feel like a larger size than i stated. Some seams are starting to show and the feet are loud and squeaky when i walk in them

Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume pieces look from the outside.
The claws on the feet look massive like monster feet, but other than that my only complaint is the type of fur used- very rough and you can see the back of the fur on ALL of these parts- and the toes are very flat and look more like hooves with claws.

---

TAILS
The following questions ask you to explain how satisfied you are with each feature of the tail(s) of the costume.

---

Wear Satisfaction
Please describe how it is to wear these pieces of your costume.
Tail is very thick and bouncey, comfy to wear but the elastic wore out quickly.

Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume pieces look from the outside.
Tail looks good but the same craft fur was used on it and its rough.

---

OVERALL SATISFACTION
The following questions ask how satisfied you are with the overall buying experience, including your interactions with the maker and the resulting final product.

---

How well does everything fit together and match up?
Some of the markings are off, mostly the belly spot and the back marking. The head doesnt match up with the body due to the weird way the white tummy spot was put on. The head is massive compared to everyrhing else, arms are extremely baggy.


How easy was it to initially contact the maker for a quote?
Easy, was reccomended by a friend she replied quickly in the beginning


How satisfied are you with the response time from the maker?
How long did it take the maker to get back to you?
HORRIBLE, was left on read and ignored more times than I can count, maker was constantly pushing my suit back and would post-block me on facebook.


How satisfied are you with the professionalism and customer service and of the maker?
Extremely unprofessional, ignores customers, takes multiple vacations and pushes suits back, ignores deadlines after agreeing to them.


How satisfied are you with how long your project took to complete?
Queue was much longer than i was informed of. I was told my suit would be done for MFF in late november, mini partial was done for MFF and then missed multiple deadlines afterwards and shipped bodysuit and feet later after missing 3 other deadlines. I kept getting pushed back in queue and ignored. Shipped late the last time and asked for priority shipping but was not sent via priority or through the company i asked for. Suit was shipped via Estafeta after i asked for DHL


Are you happy with the product you received?
No, cheap fur was used when i asked and paid for luxury shag. The head and hands were an obvious rush job for MFF. I feel like my suit will fall apart after a year.


Describe your overall experience with this maker.
Maker was friendly at times, i felt bad for complaining or asking for changes because the blame was pinned on me. Poor communication, ignores customers and does rush jobs. This maker could be amazing if she put in more effort and cared about her customers.
