why DIY is the way to go
Posted: Tue May 27, 2008 9:27 pmnever under any circumstance buy any product from the site fanplusfriend.com. this has to be the worst experience i have ever had the displeasure of disputing. this group of hack, so-called artists charged me over $400 for 2 custom commission costumes and completely fucked them up. there is no other way of putting it. it looks like a retarded 9 year old drew the pattern on my costume and the measurements weren't even close to what i sent them. for those of you that know me i'm not a small guy. i'm not overweight, just decent size. i'm about 6'0" tall and weigh about 220lbs. on top of that i used to be a kickboxer. my legs are pretty big so any pants part of a costume has to be made to fit me specifically. trying to squeeze a 28" thigh into a 26" pant leg is not fun. of course i've also never had a 43" waist. at the most i was a 38" (currently 36") the best part was trying on the gloves. they look like hefty bags with finger holes. the materials were high quality but the craftsmanship was utter shit. i have no skill at all in sewing and i could have done a better job in teh time it took them to complete this monstrosity.
