I suppose it's all marketing!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Angie</b>, I'll keep an eye out for that--long, plush, shiny.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Roberta</b>, these are great tips re: details and finishing.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Joy</b>, I did notice that many reviews complain of shedding! That would definitely be annoying. I love velvet in general, but in this case I'm looking for something I could wear over a velvet dress, so not sure if it would be too much velvet. <br /></div></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-dilemmas#post-1982573 Fri, 14 Dec 2018 15:56:36 +0000 Anonymous 1982573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Be sure to read the reviews. Some will shed badly.. You might try velvet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-dilemmas#post-1982559 Fri, 14 Dec 2018 15:19:10 +0000 Roberta 1982559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Avoid anything called "teddy" (cause they mean bear). Details like hook and eye closures and on-seam pockets read dressier. I think a hood takes a coat into more casual territory, ditto visible hardware. Two years ago I bought a navy faux fur thinking it would be worn once or twice a year, but I wear it quite often. No picture, alas, but it was Sam Edelman from Nordstrom.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think this Via Spiga coat describes what I am trying to say:</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-dilemmas#post-1982554 Fri, 14 Dec 2018 15:05:56 +0000 Angie 1982554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Plush faux fur looks dressier. LONG strands that aren't mattered.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-dilemmas#post-1982523 Fri, 14 Dec 2018 12:58:52 +0000 RobinF 1982523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think both fleece and sherpa have a lower pile than fur. I wouldn't wear either of those as a topper for an evening dress, they are too casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-dilemmas#post-1982522 Fri, 14 Dec 2018 12:47:19 +0000 Joyce B 1982522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think there are some nice ones these days that might suit the bill. Agree that longer strands look dressier. I have not purchased any because I feel that they will wear out and become house clothes pretty soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-dilemmas#post-1982520 Fri, 14 Dec 2018 12:42:24 +0000 K.M. 1982520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I'm looking for a faux fur jacket to wear with an evening dress, and facing a dilemma: when does faux fur cross the line into "fleece" or "sherpa" territory? I want something that looks dressy, but online it's hard to tell whether the jacket will look formal enough or will just look like a glorified sweatshirt. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Any way to tell??? I notice that when the "hairs" are longer and shinier, they look more dressed up, but not always...<br /></div> </p>
