Personally, I ordered from Marron-Kuriya on the Japanese auction site, Rakuten.

Aanndd as for which fabric to buy, there are several questions I have:

1.) Do you plan on wearing your kigurumi outside a lot? and if so, what kind of climate do you live in/ what time of year are you going to wear it out.

If you're going to be wearing it inside mostly, and you have a cooler house, I'd most definitely get the fleece. It's SO comfy and warm. <3

If, however, you're planning on wearing it out a lot when it's a but warmer, I'd buy the cotton kigu, because the fleece can easily become too warm when out in warm weather.

Also for summer, cotton IS better, provided you're summers aren't cold. :P

Hm- I don't really KNOW what a cotton kigurumi feels like, as I only have ONE kigurumi (my fleece pikachu). BUT, I can tell you that I don't think one material looks better than another.

Truth be told, the fleece ones have a nice 'sheen' to them, because of fleece's longer, smoother fibers. :3
