Erin Stoody aka Kiwi-flowers
Ripoff unreliable costume make

11-15-04 I entered a request to have to costumes made for my boyfriend and I for an anime convention from from Full Metal Alchemist. I received an email response from Erin Stoody, that April 1 would not be doable, but July (Anime Expo in Anaheim, California) would be fine.

11-17-04 I received mail stating that the Roy costume would be $340 (uniform and gloves) and Riza, $320 (uniform). At this point I was happy to have found Kiwi-flowers as she seem very reliable and swift to answer my emails.

4-23-05 She gets the total that I had sent her completely wrong, stating that I still owed $410, when I had actually paid that amount.

6-19-05 Ms. Stoody states that she sewed one of the costumes incorrectly, and 6-22, states that she'll have it shipped by that Saturday. Needless to say I received an email on 10-13, that she had lost my address.

I had paid in full $660 by 11-01-05 but Erin Stoody had failed to tell me she had changed her addresss. I waited 3 more weeks so that my money order could be fowarded to her new address, which she received a few days before 11-21.

After no response between 11-21-05 till 1-11-06, I threated to tell of her bad business behavior to other cosplayers and warn them. I finally receive mail stating she has the costumes finished since Oct. She offered http://www.kiwiflowers.net/other/progress/rr1.jpg to give me peace of mind.

It's now Feburary 18, and I still do not have either costume, though I had paid in full, the $660 in November. I have still not been given a response as to why I haven't received my costumes and need them both by April though this doesn't seem likely.
