How to Make a Duct Tape Dummy (DTD)

A DTD is essential for fullsuits and halfsuits. You'll need: duct tape, a long-sleeved shirt and pants you don't mind cutting up, scissors, and a friend to help.

1. Put on the old clothes over a thin base layer. 2. Have your friend wrap you in duct tape from neck to ankles, covering every area snugly but not too tight. 3. Mark reference lines (center front, center back, waistline) with a sharpie. 4. Carefully cut the DTD off (your friend cuts along the back). 5. Tape it back together and stuff it to retain shape. 6. Ship it to us!

Caring for Your Fursuit

Proper care will extend the life of your fursuit significantly.

• Always hand-wash with cool water and gentle detergent (like Woolite). • Never put your fursuit in a washing machine or dryer. • Use a fan or hang to air-dry completely before storing. • Store in a cool, dry place — avoid plastic bags. • Brush the fur gently with a wire pet brush to keep it fluffy. • Spray the inside with rubbing alcohol or Febreze after each use.

Preparing Your Reference Sheet

A good ref sheet helps us bring your character to life accurately.

• Include front, side, and back views of your character. • Clearly label all colors with hex codes if possible. • Note any special markings, patterns, or features. • Include expression references if you want specific features. • The more detail, the better — we love notes!
