I took a gamble buying from procosplay because there aren't as many reviews online as would be ideal to let me know whether it is a good site or not. However, as anyone can see from the picture above, their costume look accurate, autentic and of high quality.
It was clear to me as soon as I opened the package that the clothes were of good quality. The stitching is as good as any store bought clothes, there seems to be no risk of the buttons falling off and the pleather straps and gloves don't look cheap or tacky at all. In fact, the shoulder straps are one of my favourite parts of this cosplay. The only issues I had in the quality of my product was a couple of minor stains that took a closer examination to find, and an extra piece of fabric sown loosly onto the back of the jacket with a pen written number on, for what I assume was my order identification. However, I was easilly able to pick the stitches by hand and you wouldn't know it was there in the first place.
Since I opted to pay extra for the custom fit, most of the little dissapointment I have with my cosplay is in the fit, though I suppose it was unavoidable having ordered it online. I don't carry any extra weight, but as a girl I am relatively curvy. I found that the shirt and jacket are tight around my broad shoulders, and while this isn't a massive problem the sleeves ride up more than I would like and I would say that they are a bit too short. The main problem is the trousers, which are a bit tight around the waist, hips and butt and definately too short, which isn't a massive issue since I can tuck them into some high boots I will be using for the cosplay; I'm lucky that Canada wears boots like that. However, while the appearence looks fine, they aren't as comfy as I hoped and movement is restricted. Postage was very impressive for me. Living in the UK, they took around three weeks to arrive which is much sooner than I would have thought. I had some minor issues with the postage company (DHL) but nothing major and while it was frustrating they were very accomidating after a few complaints.
I also want to mention how the customer service was very good. While I didn't need it that much, it was clear that procosplay was in contact with the DHL and when they were unable to deliver to my house nor contact me procosplay informed me of this so that I could arrange another drop off time.
Overall I am pleased with my purchase and looking forward to attending conventions in it. It looks proffesionally made and is of fine quality with a few issues with sizing. Postage was good and fast. For the price, you must weight up whether you want to pay for the accuracy and quality with risk of the fit not being perfect, though with any store online sizing always a risk. this was by far the best Canada cosplay I could find and I am happy with what I revieved. Procosplay really deserves more recognitions and reviews.
