I was contacted by CostumesOK.com recently, asking if I would mind reviewing their Zentai suits. I agreed to do this, and they duly sent me the suit I had ordered – a Dalmatian Print suit, as it is something I can compare to from other sellers.
The first thing I noticed was that they offer a good selection of customisation options for the outfit – they offer the standard feature of crotch zip etc. but also include the options for separate toes, ears and tail and other customisations you might want. You can also specify your own sizing, and they will make the suit to your specifications. After placing the order for the Dalmatian Zentai (size Large, Ears and Tail, Separate Toes ) I was pleased with the speed of delivery, which was prompt and the suit arrived safe and well.
On opening the package, I have to say that I was impressed with what I saw… having ordered many Zentai which have come with Ears and Tail, this is one of the best suits I’ve seen where the tail actually resembles a dogs tail – most of them normally come with tails that are very thin and pointed at the end (almost lizard like), where as this one was relatively thick, long and rounded at the bottom.
On putting the suit on, I discovered that the material used is slightly thicker than normal, which means that when stretched over skin, the white does not go see-through, which is a plus point. Although, as shown in the pictures below, it does appear to have done that in my case, but that is because I have broad shoulders, and is not a problem with the suit. Having the separate toes is often a problem, but I found that these ones were sensibly sized and were easy to fit my toes in to. Additionally, one of the problems I’ve found in other suits is that often the little finger is either just a bit too short or a bit too long, but with this suit, I was able to get my finger in correctly, with not that much excess material to annoy me.
I did, however, find a couple of minor suggestions for future suits, but neither of them detract from the suit and are not major problems. The back entry zip could do with being a little longer, as I have wide shoulders and thus if the zip was slightly longer, it would have been that little bit easier to put the suit on. In saying that, the suit does come with a proper YKK zip, as opposed to the thinner, smaller zips other suits come with. The sizing of the suit after I had put it on was fine, but this just meant putting the suit on needs a little more care.
My other suggestion about the suit is that the head could do with a little more material as it slightly squashes my nose – probably for day to day wear / parties it would not be an issue, however, might just be a little constricting to wear long-term.
All in all, I was impressed with suit and know that I will enjoy wearing it.
