Looking to get a fursuit, no clue where to start

Hi yall, I've never owned a fursuit before but I am looking to buy a partial fursuit. I've looked at a few people for comissions and am looking for more recommendations. I know I want one in a gothic style, not super cartoonish. Or, alternatively, I would love to find someone who does quilt-style fursuits. (My max for a partial would be $1.5k, probably)
