Safety Notes
Allergy Warnings: Heads are now lined with spandex/lycra interiors, which means the head will still be flexible while keeping the bare foam away from your skin. While the latex content is very low and likely not an irritant, it's important to know if you potentially have an allergy to the substance. If you have, or suspect you may have a latex allergy, please let me know so I can line the interior with an alternative fabric. (Usually simple cotton prints) All items come from a non-smoking, pet friendly home. I have a cat in my home, and while I do not allow him near my materials, dander and fur particles can still find their way into the fleece, foam, and faux fur.
If you need to wear glasses while performing in suit, please let me know so I can build the head accordingly. Also, be aware that your glasses will most likely fog up, and can impair vision. I currently cannot offer follow-me eyes inside heads that need to accommodate for glasses due to the way they are constructed. To counter any fogging issues, I highly recommend investing in anti-fog spray!
The interior of my suit heads are very breathable, but obviously limited compared to not wearing a head. If you have asthma or other breathing problems, a fursuit head may not be for you depending on your personal limitations. Please bear this in mind when considering an order.
Paws of all kinds will limit your dexterity, so use caution when handling glass bottles or other fragile items while wearing paws. Do not drive while wearing paws, the materials used will not provide a good enough grip, and could become a danger to you and others on the road. Plush styled paws will not allow for ANY dexterity due to their construction. Keep this in mind if you're considering ordering this style.
If you are ordering a suit with an interchangeable tongue, or any other part that requires magnets, please read this section! The magnets I use are called neodymium, or 'rare earth' magnets. These are very strong, and have been known to cause damage to some electronic devices. Please refrain from using cell phones, tablets, or other electronics close to the magnets on your fursuit head. They can also pinch the skin if not handled correctly, please feel free to ask if you have any questions about the magnets.

Measurements, and other Requirements
If you are interested in commissioning a custom tailored fursuit, please have ready a reference image showing at least a front and back view of your character. (and side view or closeup images if necessary) If you do not have a reference sheet, you can contact grotto.fursuit@gmail.com to either commission a sheet, or I can find an artist to create one for you. Please take note that the more colors your character has, the more the price will most likely go up because I will need to order more kinds of fur. I do have a stock of fur styles and colors, and you can get a price drop if your character contains them. This will be addressed if you are chosen for a suit during a commission opening.
Below is a helpful chart to show measurements required for my suits.

Duct Tape Dummy Information
Before sending your duct tape dummy to me, I have a few rules I'd like to point out. Failure to follow these rules can result in your DTD being thrown out, and you will be required to make another. Poor construction often leads to longer production time, which will also cost more money in the long run. Please review this section to avoid extra costs and time spent!
Pants will require a DTD made that will cover you from the waist to ankles
Full suits will require a DTD made that will cover your whole body
- An excellent DTD construction tutorial can be found here (Mordrude's Monsters DTD Construction)
- Thin coveralls are a preferred base for DTD construction. They can be purchased individually from most home improvement or paint stores
- If you use coveralls, cut off the hood and feet if they have these features, and tape AROUND the zipper! This will make it easier to get out of the dummy, and makes it easier to show me where a zipper will be placed on your suit. Most coveralls can be worn backwards as well (We'll go over your design and figure out zipper placement to fit your character markings and fur styles)
- Make sure any cuts made to get out of the DTD are taped back up (The tutorial goes over how to make sure this is done accurately)
- Double layer your dummy. The stronger it is, the easier it will be to work with
- Please try to allow about a day for it to dry out before shipping. This is mostly for sanitary concerns, a sweaty/stinky DTD will be thrown out
- When shipping, fold the DTD gently (Fold arms in, then legs up, then the whole thing in half, hamburger style) Do not crumple or roll it up to try saving on shipping costs! DTDs received in this fashion WILL be tossed, and you will need to make another
- If you would like to have your DTD sent back with your suit, let me know and I will do my best to preserve it (Not a guarantee, DTDs get a bit roughed up during suit construction)
