Commission Requirements
For all commissions, I will require at least one measurement from you depending on what the commission is.
When I contact you to discuss your commission, I will ask for them!
Please ensure that all measurements are accurate - if they are not, the item you are measuring for is likely to not fit.
Heads
I will ask for the circumference of the widest part of your forehead and of your face. Please tell me if you wear glasses or not! I will add extra space into the front of the head for them.
​​
Handpaws
I will need a tracement of your hand to ensure I get the accurate size. You can either scan them into a computer and send them to me (but ensure the file is a4 sized) or post them with the DTD if you have one.
For 5-fingered paws, loosely spread out all of your fingers. For four-fingered paws, loosely spread out your fingers with 2 of them touching comfortably together. For three-fingered paws / hooves, have your fingers loosely spread out and split into a "V" shape.
Arm and Leg Sleeves
​​
Please refer to the image for measuring your arms - it is also important to measure your shoulders so I can have the elastic that connects the arm sleeves be the right length.
​​
If you cannot get all of the arm measurements by yourself, bring in a friend to help you! This helps to ensure the most accurate measurement and thus a nice fit on your arm sleeves.
​
Please send the measurements in inches!
For leg sleeves, to ensure the best fit I will require a DTD to be made of your lower half. I have had too many instances where unfortunately the leg sleeves have been too loose, so to prevent this from happening, a dtd is the best solution for me.
Please refer to the Bodysuit / DTD section on how to make the DTD.
Feetpaws
I will require a shoe size that is UK sized so I can buy a pair of crocs for the feetpaws. Do not worry, they will be removable to help prolong their life!
If you do not wish to use crocs, please send me a pair of comfortable shoes so I can use them to build the feetpaws.
If the shoes are not clean or are worn out, I will return them to you immediately.
Bodysuits
I will reach out and ask that you make your DTD a month or so before I am ready to make the bodysuit - this gives me time to work on the "partial" parts of your commission, as well as giving you a chance to organise a DTD making session! If you are unsure on how to make a DTD, Please refer to the following tutorials:

​
I cannot stress this enough - make sure that the dtd is accurate and well made.
​​
Once the DTD is made and taped back together, please refer to the image to measure both yourself and the dtd in the key points to ensure they are the same. The image is by Matrices, and shows off the key measurements perfectly.
​
If the DTD does not have the correct measurements, or is not well made, I will not be able to use it, and you will have to make another one, delaying your costume.
​
You are responsible for giving me correct measurements as well as a correct DTD.
​
Suits that don't fit due to poor measurements or poorly made made DTDs fall onto you, as the person who provided them to me.
