Section One - Commission Requirements

a. Age

ii. For “full suit” costume commissions, a suitable “duct tape dummy” will need to be sent in to Because Fuzz. The proper creation and transportation of said “duct tape dummy” falls under the responsibility of the commissioner, as the accuracy of these materials directly affects the fit and finish of the final product.

c. Quotations
