The body is just made of foam with the wings having a special harness inside the suit to hold them in place; the wings are just decorative they don't weigh too much. This means that comfort was not an issue, but I probably would have had similar problems if they had contained any kind of mechanism as it would have greatly added to the weight.
And yay for more Toothless cosplayers! Her toothless looks really nice, and it's great that she worked out how to get the wings to open and close. I thought about making moving wings but decided against it as I knew they would weigh more and I would have no safe way to operate them myself from inside the suit.

Yeah the weight was problematic but the worst part was the mech to close them died and I nearly flew away like a 10ft kite lol
Your Toothless looks so huggable. A lot better than the people who try to use non-elastic 'scale' material.

That is annoying... but at least if you had flown away you could have been 'the only Toothless costume that actually flies'! That would be pretty awesome. XD
It still looked really good, though, wing mechanism broken or not.
I love making huggable characters. If I saw Toothless in real life, Id want to hug him, and it'd be epic if he was actually soft and fluffy. ^^
