Frequently
Asked
Questions


Materials and Construction

Q: What are your fursuits made out of? Do you use real fur?
My fursuits are made entirely with fake fur. Heads are constructed out of high density upholstery foam, and most padding is made with spandex and polyfill. Other materials I use in my work include vinyl, fleece, minky fabric, various paints, and resin. I do not use any real animal parts in my work.
Q: How durable are your costumes?
Very! Many of my customers have used my work for dancing or other high intensity wear and found their costumes held up perfectly. Most of my work is made with soft materials to avoid any breakable parts, and tested for durability. I aim to make all of my work easy and comfortable to wear and maintain.
Q: Do you need a duct tape dummy for a full fursuit?
I do require duct tape dummies for all full body suits. Here's how to make your own: Duct Tape Dummy Tutorial

Care and Cleaning

Q: How do I wash my costume?
Most pieces can be put in a washing machine and cleaned on a cold water cycle with regular detergent. Stuffed pieces, such as tails or feet, take a long time to dry and are easier to spot clean unless they need a thorough wash. Pieces can be dried either in a no heat tumble setting on a dryer, or by hanging over a fan.
Heads should be spot cleaned with soap or detergent and water on a washcloth. The inside can be sprayed with rubbing alcohol to disinfect it. I recommend wearing an extra balaclava or face mask under the suit head to reduce the amount of sweat absorbed by the head.Q: How do I store my costume?
Any storage method is fine, however, leaving fur folded and compressed for long periods of time can cause wrinkles in the fibers. Ideally, boy suits should be hung up, and other pieces should be stored so the fur is not compressed.
Q: What is the best way to travel with my costume?
Most fursuit pieces are soft and can be folded or vacuum bagged and put into regular luggage. This includes feet, bodies, hands, tails, padding, etc. My heads can also be folded flat and put in vacuum bags, just be careful not to let the eye plastic bend. If you're concerned about the safety of your head, it is best to bring it as a carry on/personal item when flying.
I strongly recommend a regular, hard sided suitcase for traveling with fursuits. Action packers or other, similar rigid containers can pop open in flight and may be searched more often. Fursuit parts are very similar to clothes, and do not need a special luggage.

Commission Information

Q: How do I commission my own costume? How much will my costume cost?
The base prices for custom work are listed here. I am not always open for custom work, however I do post information regarding commission openings on my social media, primarily Twitter and Instagram.
Q: When do you open for commissions?
I typically open for commissions every 4 - 6 months. I take a few months' worth of work at a time and open for the next round of projects shortly before I finish previous work. Specific opening dates will vary, as each project is unique and it can be difficult to perfectly predict when I will be finished with each round of projects.
Q: How long will my costume take to make?
Wait times will vary based on my personal work load and where your project is in my work queue. Individual customers will be given timelines of their projects with estimated completion times. I aim to keep the wait time between deposit and finished product to under 6 months.
Q: What are your payment policies?
I require 30% of the total cost up front as a non-refundable deposit, and the remaining 70% plus shipping upon completion. I do not accept structured monthly payment plans at this time.
Q: Is shipping included? Will you do local or convention delivery/pick-up?
Shipping is not included and is calculated upon completion and added to the final invoice of a project. I ship USPS priority within the US with full insurance, so please expect $100-200 for shipping. I am also open to local or convention pick-up.
Q: Do you work with people under 18?
I do not work with people under the age of 18 at this time.

What is a Kigurumi?

A kigurumi is a onesie style outfit that is both a cute costume and comfy pajamas!My kigurumi are made with cozy anti-pill fleece and have the option of custom embroidered faces on their oversized hoods for extra personality! The bodies are loose fitting and have a "dropped" or lowered crotch seam for easy lounging and a super relaxed fit. They fasten in the front with adorable oversized buttons for an especially cartoony look. They even have pockets!Most kigurumi will include many pieces of custom embroidery to suit your character, and are completely unique to your design! They are custom made to your measurements and design specifications. They are a cozy wearable art piece created just for you!


Currently I offer kigurumi and hoodies in 2 styles:

  • Standard style, which has full length arms and legs and usually has fitted cuffs to keep heat in

  • Summer style, which has half length arms and legs, and typically has looser cuffs for more airflow
